“We recently had Dakes come and do a studio shoot in the comfort of our own home. It was perfect. Dakes made us all feel at ease. Nothing was rushed and we managed to get a some decent pictures of our baby (even though he wasn’t very happy)! My eldest son loved every minute and took full advantage of the camera. Thank you again! Beautiful photos for us to treasure as a family.”

“Dakeney is an amazing photographer who is truly passionate about her job. Her personality is bright and bubbly which makes her fun to work with when she’s shooting! On top of that, her photos are beautiful and she puts in the time and effort to make them as perfect as possible. We are so pleased we chose Dakeney for our wedding and we would recommend her to anyone!”
Derek & Mandy Bryant
“We recently had a surprise photoshoot for a family member’s special birthday! With the sudden news of yet another lockdown we were gutted, however, professional as ever Dakes completed the photoshoot in the comfort of our own home, following rules and regulations. She was amazing from start to finish and captured the most gorgeous photos of the 5 kids (even with a wriggly, 1 year old). Service was amazing from enquiry and booking through to final photo prints! Would highly recommend Dakeney Photography to anyone, and will definitely be using again in the future!”

Polly Cole
“We have had a maternity and newborn shoot with Dakes. The first was an outside shoot at a great, yet convenient, location for us. The second was an indoor studio shoot completed within the comfort of our own home. Both times Dakes has made us feel at ease and taken some amazing photos! Each time we ended up paying extra to have some more photos as they have been so great. It’s wonderful to have these moments captured forever.”
Sophie Haddock
“Dakes took some fantastic shots of Launch Bikes as part of her #supportlocal campaign. We are delighted with the results and so happy that in the strange and tricky times (of 2020) she came up with this really helpful, thoughtful initiative. She is so enthusiastic and bubbly. She was great to have in the shop and just got on with things, snapping away allowing me to carry on working. We highly recommend Dakeney Fox Photography.”

Very professional throughout and made our girls feel comfortable while wearing full PPE. Our photos were absolutely stunning and I can’t stop looking at them!”
Jade James
“We used Dakes for our wedding and we were not disappointed. From the start or the process until the wedding itself, she was great. Very easy to talk to and plan our special day with. Dakes was brilliant on the day and did exactly what we had planned in the months before hand. Dakes got some brilliant shots for us, some formal ones. but most importantly for us the unplanned ones she captured beautifully. We did not feel like we were being pulled from pillar to post for pictures which is my experience at some weddings. She is very competitively priced. Would fully recommend Dakes without hesitation.”
Karl & Katie Monaghan
“Dakeney photographed our wedding at the beginning of May. She was absolutely fantastic all day, the way she made everyone relax so we really got the natural photos that we were after.”
Zoe & Stuart Parsons
“I can’t recommend Dakes enough! She captured our first family Christmas photos, and first professional photos of our 3-month-old babe. She was not a happy bunny, but Dakes still managed to get smiles throughout the entire session! Dakes is so professional yet made us all feel so so comfortable, and she had some fab Christmas props to use. I will treasure our photos forever, and cannot wait for her next Family Photoshoot Session! Amazing value for money & every single photo is incredible.”

“Totally recommend Dakes as a photographer, she is really friendly and put both of my children as ease really quickly. The pictures are beautiful. The shoot was done fairly quickly (a must with two kids), so no one got bored and she photographed everyone while they were still happy! I will definitely use Dakes again, thank you.”
Kayley O’Leary
“Dakes was so supportive and patient during my shoot! Being my first one and being with a dog I was apprehensive with how it was going to go. Not only was the shoot a breeze and fun the pictures were better than I could ever have asked for!!! 10/10 would recommend to a friend.”
Sophie Scroggs
“Absolutely amazing photos from our first ever photoshoot. Dakeney is a lovely, friendly person and makes the experience so easy from the start. Dakeney made me and the kids feel at ease immediately… my daughter even made a comment of how lovely she was. Loved the whole experience and would recommend to everyone. Thanks for the gorgeous photos.”
Lana Brown
“We highly recommend Dakes – she is so lovely and did a great job to get some smiles out of our 3 month old boy. We had the lockdown doorstep shoot and love our photos! Thanks so much!”
Nicola Whiffin
“I cannot recommend Dakes enough! She contacted me to take part in her #supportlocal campaign, and what an honour it was to be involved! Dakes is so talented at capturing not only an image, but a moment, and at such a time where there is a lot of stress and worry for local businesses she really brought some sunshine to the salon! Thank you so much Dakes, will for certain be using you again!”
Gemma Piccirilli – Bright and Beauty
“I had a newborn photoshoot with Dakeney and I’m in love with every single photo. It’s wonderful to have our special moments with our little girl captured forever. Dakes came out to our home with her portable studio – which was great as we were able to feel completely at ease (especially as my partner isn’t a huge fan of having his photos taken). Thank you again for the beautiful photos. I can’t wait for you to capture my little family again in the future.”
Kristina Hutchinson
“Photoshoot carried out in the comfort of own home which is brilliant for newborns. Dakeney was very friendly, patient and a pleasure to have in our home. Photos are brilliant quality and just what we wanted for a very reasonable price! Would definitely recommend to others looking for newborn photos.”
Lora Jones & James Fennell
I have used Dakeney twice now both within the space of a year; she is fantastic with young children and has a superb eye for detail. It is easy for Dakes to set up in the comfort of your own home, and she is a natural behind the camera. We have loved every photo on each occasion and we will be using Dakes again for our next shoot. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my professional photos!”
The Cox Family
“Had an amazing prom photo shoot with Dakes, she is so patient and full of ideas, totally recommend.”
The Cotterell Family
“We are so pleased we had Dakeney as our photographer. She helped make our special day even more special by taking the most perfect pictures. We didn’t want a stressful photographer where everything was regimented, Dakeney was chilled and laid back and really helped calm my nerves during the bridal prep. She didn’t just take photos, she was also a big help with helping with the doing up of our dresses etc. We would definitely recommend Dakeney as your wedding photographer, she’s just overall fab and so lovely.”

“So happy with the photos Dakeney took of our family for Christmas.
