Dave was the most AMAZING photographer for our Wedding! From the beginning to the end he made us feel comfortable and relaxed. He was able to capture all the photos we wanted and s...
ome. His attention to detail and "eye" for the perfect shot was impressive. He was professional and respectful throughout the day. We are so happy with the fast turn around of photos and how they came out. We would hire Dave again for any photo needs! We can't thank Dave enough for the work he did for our wedding. We hope you will read this review and look no further because Dave will provide you everything you need and more!

We sought Dave out as he’s been the photographer for some of our favorite musicians. When we asked if he would be interested in doing our wedding, and he said yes, we were elated. ...
Dave is not only as professional as they come, but he’s also super personable and flexible, and wants to make your day as perfect as possible. As an event planner myself, I provided the timeline for photos and he was so good that we were consistently ahead of schedule! Dave provided direction but also allowed for us to make on the fly decisions about what we wanted, which was awesome. We received some sneak peeks almost instantly (a day or two after) and our full album within a month and a half, which was wayyyyy sooner than I had expected. We were thrilled with each photo we received, and even more so that Dave took his time editing and made everything so perfect. If we could do our wedding over again, there’s no way we’d do it without Dave!
