"darren, with the divine benita by his side, photographed our wedding ten years ago in 1997. The photos still look like they could have been taken yesterday. They were stylistically ahead of their time and perfectly captured the essence of who we are - as individuals and as a couple... darren is a photographic virtuoso who never disappoints and, together with benita, forms a dynamic duo that should be on every bride and groom's guest list!"

"I consider darren to be the most ingenious people photographer I have seen...
I have used darren j paine as my photographer since 1997 for a variety of purposes including band shots, posters and album covers. I have not seen anyone else who captures with a camera what darren captures with his photography. His pictures are so full of expression and life. He seems to be able to always capture exactly the right moment and the right expression from the best angle. He has made me appreciate how much of an art photography really is..."

DJ Diggz & Hip Hop, "In Da Mist" Mustard Empire djp photography think outside the box! we have worked with many photographers over the years, but none are as creative as these guys. Our wedding photos are fantasmagorical!! They were everything we wanted, personal, stylish & artistic. Our pictures are so good, they have been published in newspapers and magazines, like That's Life & Bride's Diary... people are still raving about the pictures. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend djp photography both personally & professionally to anyone wanting something out of the ordinary. These guys are the BOMB!! { and Darren & Benita, we love you work!}

"darren shot our wedding photos nearly 7 years ago, and a lot of my friends have gotten married since then... looking through their albums and comparing it to DJP, the thing that was missing was their personality in the photos. Not only does he have a quality eye and a great sense of humour, but he listens. Would hire him again in a flash (no pun intended!)."
