About David Howell Photography

David Howell

Owner, Lead Photographer

Raleigh and Winston-Salem based wedding photographer specializing in providing its couples with true to life, colorful imagery that is reminiscent of film photography. with timeless posing and color that will last a lifetime. David is down to earth, chill, and is easy to work with. David also specializes in family photos, spring and fall mini sessions, engagements, bridals, and branding.

I bring almost a decade worth of commercial photography and marketing experience to my weddings. Because of my experience, I'm very laid back and easy to work with. I let organic moments flourish, but step in when needed to keep things going or to make a portrait more epic.

    Incredible photographer and kind person!

    We truly can’t say enough good things about our wedding photographer! As out-of-town clients, planning a wedding from afar came with its challenges, but he went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and stress-free. From our very first conversation, he made us feel seen, heard, and completely at ease. On the day of our engagement shoot, he instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is no small feat!)—he has such a calm, kind presence that brought out the best in us. The photos turned out absolutely stunning—natural, timeless, and full of emotion. You can tell he puts his heart into every shot. When our wedding had to be rescheduled and he was no longer available on the new date, he didn’t just leave us hanging—he found us the perfect replacement, someone who matched his style and vibe flawlessly. That level of care and dedication is rare, and we are beyond grateful for it. He is truly the best and the kindest, and anyone would be lucky to have him capture their big day.

    Absolutely thrilled to write this review for our fantastic wedding photographer, David. His work is nothing short of amazing. The quality of his images is exceptional, capturing every moment with stunning clarity and emotion. David's bright and positive spirit made the entire experience even more enjoyable. He is incredibly organized and thoughtful in his deliveries, ensuring that everything was perfect and timely. David's pricing is totally worth it for the caliber of work he provides. We've loved getting to know him throughout this journey and are honestly a bit sad that this milestone is over because working with David has been such a joy. He truly is the best, and we can't recommend him enough!

    David is A++++++. We seriously cannot recommend him enough! He used our inspo for our engagement shoot and wedding day as well our personalities to create the most fun and beautiful photos. Our personalities shine through them so much and he doesn't make you look so posed and rigid like normal posed photography does! To this day, we get so many compliments on our engagement shoot and our friends and family have been loving our preview pics so far. We are so excited to see the rest because if these are just the previews, we have so much more fun to look forward to! David made us feel so relaxed during out shoots. We are not camera ready people and he taught us how to stand and what to do with our hands so we would look more natural! He was fun to have around and lightened the mood and joked with us, and our families. It made the whole day feel so easy and light! We now have the most amazing photos to keep for a lifetime and share with everyone!!

    We have used David for so many special moments over the years — my sister’s wedding, our engagement photos, family photos, and now our wedding — and every experience has been incredible. He truly makes everyone feel so comfortable, captures the most genuine moments, and delivers the most beautiful photos every single time. We truly couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with our memories!

    When we were looking for a wedding photographer, we wanted someone that captured the moments without having to feel so staged (my husband and I are not great at posing... ha!). I came across David's portfolio and immediately knew he was what we were looking for. From Day 1, he was an absolute joy to work with – responsive, funny, organized, passionate, EXTREMELY talented and an overall amazing human being. When we received the previews from our wedding day in February, we were absolutely blown away. David exceeded all expectations (which were already high after our wonderful engagement session) and captured the day SO so so beautifully. David, we can't thank you enough, and can't wait to look back at these photos for the rest of our lives! Besides marrying my husband (ha!) hiring David was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. :)
