Thank Dave! We just L~O~V~E the way you accentuate the best side of us in this engagement shoot! A picture may speak a thousand words, but these pictures speak much more than words can ever described, and that is a feeling of elation.
First, ...me and my now wife were never the selfie type, we are more passive in taking pictures with ourselves in it, unless family and friends are involved. So we didn’t really know what to expect besides what’s on the market. We did some research on the overall style and feel that we were looking for and try to find a photographer that matches our expectations. We found Dave and his portfolio is AMAZING!! We instantly fell in love with his style, elegant and grand.
So we contacted Dave about our interests, gave him a general idea of the style and feel we wanted without making any location reservations, and had a few short conversations to finalize ideas, but then that was it. On the day of the engagement shoot, we kind of expected long gruesome hours of standing around, shivering in the cold due to an overcasting weekend, awkward silences with the photographer & associates, and things that are meant to cater to the photographer for such a HIGH LEVEL of photography. But our expectations were shattered, we did not imagine the process was so easy-going, fun, short and sweet, and A-W-E-S-O-M-E! Not only did Dave know exactly where we should stand and how we should pose to get the effects we expected, he made this process very fast and enjoyable with tons of laughs. Maybe it’s just me, but by the time we were finished, I’d actually wanted to take more photos.
Soon after the shoot, Dave sent us the unedited photos and they were INCREDIBLE, the composition, the angles, the style and feel were just what we wanted! Before the shoot, we didn’t know what we wanted, but now the bar is set, and is now set quite high. The pure photography skills and experience that Dave have are…. WHOA! Needless to say, the post-processed photos are Perfect! We love them and couldn’t wait to share them with our friends and family.
