Testimonials
We pour our hearts and souls into every shoot we do, so it's always a wonderful feeling when we receive kind words
You are both AMAZING! Thank you so much for capturing the most GORGEOUS moments from our wedding day.
You are both so friendly and smiley and you made us feel as though we have known you both forever.
We cannot thank you enough and we'll be recommending you to EVERYONE!
Thank you so much Ditte - we absolutely love the album. They bring back such happy memories!
We have had such a wonderful few weeks revisiting our wedding through your amazing photos - we love them all!!
"Thank you for being absolutely, totally wonderful at the weekend. I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful you both were. We can’t believe our luck in finding you and we’re so happy it all came together.
The preview images are AMAZING. We were already super excited about the photos, but this has just increased our excitement massively. They are wonderful, what a very skilled pair you are!!
Can’t wait to see the rest!!
Thank you again, so so much!!"
Oh my goodness!!!
Excitement levels are back high again!
I know I’ve said this before: you are an absolute delight to both be around and work with. The genuine enthusiasm and passion you put into your work not only shows but is utterly infectious!
Ditte of First Light is the BEST! An absolute dream to work with and captured the most beautiful moments from our wedding day. I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer, both in terms of the actual photos and how great she was to spend time with on the day. We also have family who have used her for family shoots, and those photos are equally incredible! Would give her six stars if I could :)
Ditte is a fantastic professional photographer with years of experience that shows through in all her work.
Having photographed many weddings too, she knows how to capture the most precious moments that in my experience a lot of photographers can often miss. Ditte is also constantly remarkably calm and can make even the shyest person feel so comfortable in front of the camera. (Our families simply loved her!)
Also we're still not sure how Ditte managed to do this, but she even included a beautifully sunny Edinburgh day in our wedding package!
My husband and I are so happy that we chose First Light to be with us on our special day and can't say thank you enough! #priceless
From the start of planning our wedding last January, up to the big day and beyond we could not have asked for more wonderful people to work with. It has made the whole experience memorable and a delight (not at all stressful as the magazines would have you believe), we feel that we have made friends and would have no hesitation in recommending yourself to future brides and grooms. You and Chris have been a delight.”
First Light Photography photographed our wedding last year and we could not be happier with the results. Ditte is professional, kind, calming on the day and all round good fun. Ditte’s attention to detail throughout the whole process meant we knew everything we wanted would be would be captured and we could focus on enjoying ourselves! She put our families at ease and managed to get fantastic pictures of some of our camera shy guests. We were blown away by the album itself, the quality and detail of the photographs is stunning. We would happily recommend First Light Photography to others
Seriously though – we are delighted - so a huge thank you to you and Chris. You are right – they really did bring the day back to life for us.
It was a very exciting day today. The wedding albums arrived. They are just beautiful. It was a real joy to look through them with my parents and granny. You captured the day better than we could have ever imagined. The printing is the highest quality and just excellent.
Thank you so much, we knew you and Chris would do an amazing job but the images have blown us away!
Our families absolutely love the photos too - my Mum showed them to my Granny today who was quite teary reliving the day.
Thank you SO much to you and Chris for all of your hard work on the day and all of the editing work afterwards.
We have looked at all the photos at least three times now with various family members and we are absolutely delighted with them. You captured the whole day brilliantly and beautifully and they will be a wonderful thing to look back on. You both really impressed with how well you managed with all of our guests and all the various parts of the day and it was so perfect we can both quite honestly say that you couldn't have done anything better than you did. A friend who wasn't able to come looked through all the photographs and said that he felt like he had been there.
Dear Ditte
I have just opened our wedding album this evening. It's absolutely beautiful and I can not thank you enough.
Your work is exceptional and you are a very talented lady!
