Minimum Posing,
Maximum Storytelling

What I love about photographing weddings is having the chance to capture all the real life stuff that happens that day.

We do group photos of the wedding party and family, of course, but if you’re looking for goofy poses of the wedding party jumping, or bridesmaids peeking out from behind trees, then I’m not your photographer. Luckily there are plenty of others who are great at that.

I photograph the real, authentic moments. I create photos that show what it felt like, not just what it looked like. That’s what I love, and that’s what I’m great at. 

I'm David, and I can help tell the story of your wedding day in pictures.

I understand how important it is to have the photos that are authentic and capture real moments. That’s why I started photographing weddings in the first place. I’ve seen how these genuine moments can bring back the emotions of the day, and I want to do the same for you.

With my experience in documentary-style wedding photography, I’ve had the honor of capturing hundreds of weddings. My goal is to blend into the background, allowing you to enjoy your day while I capture the magic as it unfolds.

I’m excited to be a part of your big day and help preserve these precious memories forever!

Here's the Highlights ...

Specializing in real moments

I focus on capturing authentic, real moments, so you get a complete photo story of your wedding day. Sorry, but the overly-posed, cheesy, staged photos just aren't my thing.

Experienced Professional

I've photographed hundreds of weddings in about every condition you can imagine. Nothing surprises me anymore. Enjoy your day without worries knowing you have an experienced pro at your side who is ready to handle anything unexpected.

Wedding Day Coordination

I'm big on planning ahead for your wedding day, so we'll talk about your schedule, when and where things are happening, when and where we'll shoot some location portraits, etc. I want to make sure we're all on the same page so everything goes super smooth that day.

Flexible Coverage

I like to keep things simple, so I have exactly one package: 8 hrs for $2000. Private gallery and full-resolution files included.

Need more or less time? No problem, just add or subtract $250/hr.

Film and Digital

I mainly shoot digital, but I will mix in some film where I think it works. I've shot film from the beginning of my career and it just has a certain look and feel that I love!

True-to-Life Editing

Aggressive Photoshop and filters just aren't my thing. I shoot photos so they look awesome without that stuff.

I edit images in a true-to-life style, so your photos will stand the test of time and you'll be proud to show them off for decades to come.

Private Galleries

Your photos are posted in galleries online that are as public or private as you want, so you have control over how your photos are viewed and shared.

Professional Printing

Screens are convenient, but actual prints are amazing.
Through your galleries you can conveniently order prints produced by a professional lab, so you get the best quality possible.

Full-Resolution Files

You get full-resolution copies of your edited photos, personal use rights, and a print release letter, giving you complete control over your images for the future.
