    Excellent wedding photographer

    David is an excellent wedding photographer. He has outstanding attention to detail and takes care in all of his work. He’s extremely organized, and comes to shoots prepared with a list of poses and ideas for the couples to try. He’s easy to talk to which makes it very easy to work with him. He’s incredibly responsive and clear in his communication. His photos speak for themselves; he has a keen eye for knowing when to capture the perfect shot. All of his work is beautiful and tastefully done.

Depending on your package and wedding size, I work with second photographers to help capture more of your day and the in between moments.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 6-8 weeks after your wedding.
Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
