Hello, I'm Dale. So where do I start. Many years ago I used to work in the leisure and hospitality industry. I was made redundant and pretty much forced into re-evaluating my life. I was married and had 2 young children, Lewis and Ollie, and working away from home as well late nights really didn't fit anymore.
Being creative was always my passion, along with a love of golf, so I merged the 2 together and became one of the first commercially certified drone operators to offer golf course flyovers and promotional videos. At the time a friend of mine said that I'd probably get more work via tv advertising production as the technology was new and gave a new perspective. Plus it was so much more cheaper than hiring helicopters. True enough, I was fortunate enough to get a number of jobs on these types of projects. These opportunities lead me to work with some of the regions best production companies, DOP's (Directors of Photography) and advertising agencies. Being exposed to these fellow creatives only drove my own creativity and skills.
After a few years, my passion for creativity grew and rather being freelance on other peoples projects I started the journey of finding my own projects, so I setup Holden Creative.
I've always been an emotive person, and this reflected more and more in my work. I then asked the question, what's more emotive than 2 people committing to sharing their lives together than marriage?
My style is candid, without forced posses. Most people don't like their picture being taken at the best of times, so my aim is to capture those natural moments you share together and with those you hold closest. After all the years of planning and preparation your day will be over in a flash, so I want you to spend as much time with your friends and family rather than with me. From looking for the back of ear rings to straightening ties, I'll be there at your side to help make your day as special as it can be.
