About D.S. Photography

D.S. Photography

Photographer

Hi, I'm David, a Virginia-based photographer. Unlike many photographers, my introduction to the art of photo taking initially started off purely by accident. I believe everything happens for a reason and I am very thankful to be in the position I am in today.

Although I am based out of Virginia, I do travel to the surrounding states such as Washington DC, Maryland, and North Carolina to help capture meaningful moments for my clients. Your wedding day deserves seamless execution and timeless memories. Bringing years of experience, a steady hand, and a calm presence to every celebration, I specialize in crafting elevated, candid wedding photography. I look forward to possibly working with you to help capture your vision.

Absolutely Fantastic!!
We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than David. He was incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process, making it easy to stay connected and share our vision with him. What really impressed us was how he took the time to understand the photography styles we loved and incorporated those into our wedding day shots. David captured all the candid moments that made our day special, and his creative eye combined with his professionalism made us feel confident we were in great hands. Working with him was a joy from start to finish, and the final photos exceeded our expectations. We'd recommend D.S. Photography to any couple looking for someone who truly cares about telling your story.

Book him!!! Stress free special day!
From the very beginning, David was so laid back, easy to work with, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Nothing ever felt forced or stressful, which made our wedding day even more enjoyable. He captured every special moment so beautifully, from the big emotional moments to the little candid details we’ll treasure forever. The photos turned out absolutely stunning and truly tell the story of our day perfectly. If you’re looking for a talented local photographer who is professional, fun, calming, and genuinely cares about their clients, I cannot recommend him enough. We are beyond happy with our photos and would choose D.S. Photography again in a heartbeat!

Great Job - Would Recommend
Mr. Shaw did an amazing job photographing our wedding. Communication was good leading up to the event. On the day-of, he took a lot of very good pictures, was very polite and professional, and he promptly sent us pictures afterward. We had a couple of specific requests that he graciously accommodated. We were very thankful to have Mr. Shaw and would highly recommend him.

Stunning Photography
From the very first email, the communication with D.S. Photography was professional, prompt, and clear. David captured the beauty of our wedding day with their expertly edited and stunning photographs. They ensured we got all the essential moments, even having us take pictures with each guest table after dinner. The final photos beautifully showcased the joy of our guests and the elegance of our venue. Absolutely recommend hiring David to shoot your big day!

You will be so grateful you chose DS Photography!
Truly cannot say enough positive things about David of DS Photography! We had a family friend lined up to take photos for our October 2025 wedding and when those plans fell through, we were scrambling the month before to find a photographer that was amazing quality but wouldn’t break the bank. Enter David! From the moment we began emailing, David was professional, warm, and knowledgeable. David’s photography work truly speaks for itself (just check out his website!), and on top of that, he is professional, collaborative, and has a gift of making people comfortable and at ease behind the camera. Throughout shooting, he was helping to fix my veil, hold various sunglasses/bouquets, etc. and just being a calming presence throughout. My partner and I had several photographers as part of our wedding party, and David was so patient and kind as they made suggestions or gave ideas, which I feel like would not have happened with other photographers—it’s because he’s so confident in his own work he doesn’t feel threatened by others and welcomes input and collaboration. You can tell David genuinely loves what he does and is so passionate about capturing people’s once in a lifetime moments. He also was incredibly affordable—we paid for 10 hours of shooting and it was less than 1,500! Run don’t walk to book him! We will treasure our wedding photos forever and can’t wait to hang them up in our home. Thank you so much, David!
