Rated 5 stars on Google based on over 100+ reviews
Friendly, proactive and a pleasure to work with.
I cannot recommend Alex enough. We recently worked together on a corporate photoshoot and he made the whole process so smooth and hassle-free. He was quick to respond, incredibly professional and took a fantastic collection of shots that have been easily approved by clients on both sides.
Consistently professional with excellent results.
Decoy Media were helpful and professional when dealing with our (often last minute) requests and tricky briefs. Followed the briefs and delivered the images as agreed and on time.
High-quality photography and outstanding service.
Alex and the team have supported all our regional photoshoots for the last couple of years and have consistently provided incredible shots! High quality output, great post-prod, professional, efficient and flexible when we've needed them to be. Could not recommend enough!
