David Champagne Photography

David is phenomenal! I couldn’t ask for better pictures for my wedding day! They were everything I could have dreamed of and more!

Absolutely the best choice I made for my wedding. David was amazing and everyone loved his photos. He captured every moment. He also did our engagement pictures which were just as amazing.

David was absolutely amazing to work with. He really made the process easy, and has some of the best photos we've ever seen. We brought our dog to our engagement shoot and he was a bit camera shy, but David really committed to getting him interested. 5 stars is not enough of a rating as it should be more like 10. Only wish he was available for the actual wedding, because he really has the best perspective in every photo he takes. Thanks so much David!!

David is a consummate professional! He was efficient and never intrusive. He kept to the timeline and was able to adjust when things went slightly askew. I knew that the photos would be gorgeous and I was absolutely right. Hiring David is one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. I would recommend him to anyone!

From start to finish best wedding photographer. Sets up meetings prior to the wedding, and is very fast to respond. During the wedding is everywhere and captures the whole day. Then received the pictures neatly organized very fast.

David Champagne is easily the absolute top tier when it comes to wedding photographers, hands down. We could not have asked for a better photographer to help memorialize our special day and he far exceeded even our wildest dreams for photographs! David was on time, on top of his schedule and most importantly an absolute BLAST to work with. Every photo is amazing and he has such a knack for getting the perfect shot and knowing how to pose people and interact with the guests. Every guest commented on how professional David was and he went along with all of the fun and silly little aspects of our wedding that we had. I cannot say enough how David was an integral part of making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

David is truly amazing!!! He really listened to us and cared about everything. He gives you so much time and helps make your wedding perfect! I really feel he went above and beyond with the photos and all the help he gave us!

David is the best wedding photographer we could have ever asked for! He beyond exceeded our expectations and we could not recommend him enough. He was so organized from the start and made it a stress free process leading up to the wedding day. He was so efficient with his pictures throughout the whole wedding which allowed us to spend much more time with our friends and family (which is what we wanted). He was so fun to work with on the day of our wedding while having a professional demeanor at the same time. The wedding pictures were ready in LESS THAN A WEEK which is unheard of and they are amazing!! Thank you so much to David for helping to make our day so special!

David did both our engagement photos and wedding photos and we could not be happier! He was a perfect communicator and took the best photos we could have ever hoped to have. We would recommend him to everyone and would totally use him in the future for any photography needs!

We truly enjoyed working with David. He is very professional and made us very comfortable. He's great at what he does and is truly talented. Our favorite shot was when he was asked by our priest to come up to the altar to take a picture of the entire congregation. It was truly a moment to remember. We're so happy we chose him :)

David was absolutely phenomenal! My husband and I love to print and hang pictures around our house so we knew we wanted a great photographer for our wedding and David exceeded our expectations! He was so kind and professional from start to finish and made the whole process seamless. He was so knowledgable and created a fantastic timeline based on what we told him we wanted. He made us feel so at ease on our big day and kept everything moving along according to plan. He even went above and beyond by pinning the mens boutonnières, pinning my veil in, and coordinating with other vendors to get us the special shots we wanted outside of our venue. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

David was an absolute dream to have as our photographer! He made taking pictures fun, and he made sure everyone got their picture taken that was needed! He captured our wedding in a way that I dreamed of. He seriously brings the magic through the pictures. We also got our pictures back 2 days after our wedding! I was expecting a week to four weeks, but he did ours so quick and all the pictures were breathtaking, my family and I can’t stop showing them off. Thank you, David!

If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER! David is truly the best in his field. He was so easy to work with and kept everything on our desired timeline. He captured every wonderful moment of my daughter's wedding and when looking back at many of them, I felt as if I was reliving it all over again. Isn't that what you want when you look at photos that reflect those special moments? This is the photographer you want to make that happen. Thank you, David, for such a lovely experience on a day that goes all too quickly; you have given me something that transports me back to those beautiful moments each time I look at each of these photos! :)

David is truly the best of the best of wedding photographers! He is very experienced with weddings, helps you establish a timeline (and stick to it!), and most importantly is extremely talented in providing direction and also capturing all of the beautiful wedding moments. We absolutely love all of our wedding photos!

We hired David for engagement and wedding photos and he was amazing. He is great at what he does and it even better to work with. Definitely very happy we chose him!

David Champagne Photography was AMAZING as my wedding photographer! He is a true artist with an eye for the perfect shot. I wanted some creative flare to my portraits and he went above and beyond to scout locations, style the shots, place the lighting for the best effect. He was such an impressive one man team!! Not to mention we got our photos back SO quick, myself and all my friends and family were shocked to have them back so soon! We are absolutely thrilled with his work, would recommend a million times over!!

It was an absolute pleasure working with David! We did an engagement shoot with him as well as hired him for our wedding photos, and we loved his work. He was so easy to communicate with, was the epitome of professionalism, and worked with us to make sure our photo timeline flowed smoothly and included everything that was important to us. We were over the moon that we got our photos - ALL of them - within a week of the wedding! Our family and friends can't stop raving about how beautiful they are and how they truly captured the magic of the day. Would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a photographer!

I researched photographers for my wedding and David's work looked amazing. I was instantly excited to book him and he did not disappoint! He was very professional in every aspect and amazing to work with. I informed him of my limited abilities with taking a decent photo and my fear of my wedding photos because of it. He was encouraging throughout the whole day and made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My photos came out amazing and I absolutely love them!! I'm looking forward to working with him in the future for family photos!

Booking David was the best decision we made when planning our wedding! He is the supreme professional, from his communication skills to his artistic vision and eye. David went above and beyond our expectations from our first meeting with him, making sure to ask every question he could think of to be as prepared as possible. He has a gentle and calming demeanor that made photos totally stress-free even amidst unforeseen circumstances that made photo-taking chaotic and challenging. David even communicated with our venue on our behalf to ensure we could have access to every area needed for us to get the best photos possible. We got the photos back from him much quicker than expected - only a few weeks! The photos are gorgeous, perfectly staged with a natural feel and lovely editing. All my friends and family cannot believe how incredible our photos turned out. I would book David again and again. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone. You cannot go wrong booking him for your wedding!

David was amazing! He came recommended by two friends/coworkers and he did not disappoint. I’m not photogenic at all and don’t really like having my picture taken, but David put us at ease. He was so friendly and organized and all the pictures he took turned out beautiful. Looking back, the wedding day itself was a whirlwind. But one thing I do remember was that David was there every step of the way, capturing every moment. Even going around to all the tables to say hi to all our guests, David was there, never missing a shot. He also captured all the little details of the wedding that I never got to see, so it was nice having those photos to go back and look at. We would highly recommend him for your special day!

David was a pleasure to work with! He responded quickly to all of our questions, and made us feel confident we'd get all the photos we wanted. On the day of our wedding, David was super professional. He made everyone feel at ease, including our cat and the young children. I had mentioned feeling self conscious about my posture, and he was really great at reminding me to stand upright without drawing attention to it. He managed our group effortlessly even though we are a rowdy bunch. He planned a thorough schedule to make sure we would have time to capture everything that we wanted. Overall working with David was a total breeze in the day thanks to his professionalism. We got our photos back today, only 1 week after the wedding, and they are everything we imagined and more! Absolutely fantastic work, David!

David Champagne is an absolute WONDER to work with. He captured every single moment I could think of and more! Not only were the pictures amazing but he had my entire gallery ready 4 days after my event. He is an absolute professional and there is no one else I would’ve rather had to photograph my special day.

David Champagne was absolutely amazing! He came very well recommended by The Cavalier, which is where we had our reception. Aside from the fact that ALL my vendors knew him, they all continuously said such nice things about him and his work. I can't even begin to say how glad I am that he was our wedding photographer, he highly exceeded our expectations (like HIGHLY EXCEEDED). We got married 4/30/22 and I was so shocked with how quickly we got our photos. David took so many perfect and beautiful shots at our wedding. Everyone that has seen our photos have raved about how in awe they are of the photographers work and when I tell them that he is a team of one they are even more amazed. I also need to talk about how great he was getting photos with the flower girls and ring bearers, I can't believe that he got such perfect photos with all of them looking at the camera. Lastly, one of our favorite things about working with David was just how fun and professional he is. My bridal party, friends, and family loved seeing him do his work. He was always at the right spot getting the perfect shot. I will forever cherish these photos. We cannot recommend David enough as a wedding photographer!!!

David Champagne lives up to his reputation as an excellent wedding photographer who exceeds the lofty expectations established by his reviews and accolades. We appreciated so much about our experience in working with David. What speaks most loudly is the quality of his work. David took so many perfect shots at our wedding, always ensuring that he captured the emotion on people’s faces in special moments. He worked extremely well with the backdrop and lighting of our venue. David also demonstrated his creative side in his work with us. We really wanted to take photos together at a local microbrewery after our ceremony. Not only did David oblige our request, he also worked with the brewery manager to capture several stunning photos of us amidst the filter beer tanks in the back of the brewery. Finally, one of our favorite parts of working with David was his professionalism. He never acted like the center of attention or dictated our entire schedule (as we have seen with wedding photographers in the past). However, whenever there was a special moment or group photo to be taken, David was ALWAYS there to snag it. We cannot recommend David enough as a wedding photographer. Feel free to review our photos (including the AMAZING brewery shots) in the following link: https://davidchampagnephotography.com/2021/12/28/historic-post-office-wedding-taylor-and-bill/

David was amazing to work with! David photographed my sister's wedding a few years ago, and when I saw the pictures, I knew I had to hire him! Although he is based in the Virginia Beach area, he travelled to D.C. for my wedding. We delayed our wedding twice due to COVID, and he was extremely understanding and easy to work with. David is very engaged with the logistics of the day and sent a timeline in advance. Not only did the pictures turn out absolutely beautiful, but he made sure the day stayed on track and went smoothly. In addition, he is very detail oriented and captured every aspect of the day.

In all honesty words can not express how amazing David was at our wedding. He captured the most beautiful pictures of our wedding. He is quick, very helpful, and definitely will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. He was on top of capturing every beautiful moment/detail from first look, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. We were fortunate to have an absolutely beautiful sunny day and were able to take sunset photos. David showed me one of the photos on his camera and it literally took my breath away. David is someone I would 100% recommend to anyone to capture their wedding photos!!

All of our photos were beautiful and perfect! David’s professionalism and fantastic organization allowed the photo process to go smoothly, quickly, and enjoyably. Hiring David was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and we can’t recommend him highly enough!

David is INCREDIBLE! Our photos are absolutely GORGEOUS! Many of our friends and family have said that they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen and my new husband and I agree completely. We absolutely love them and all of our friends and family can’t stop raving about them. David not only has a great eye for good photos, but he makes you feel comfortable and fully trusting in him. My husband in not photogenic and he looks great in every photo. David’s style is calm, efficient, kind, and professional, which clearly demonstrates years of experience that allows him to quickly get all of the shots he needs without feeling rushed or stressful. We actually really enjoyed posing for photos with David, and we expected to dislike posing for photographs. David knew exactly how to handle a crying flower girl, an anxious family member, a large bridal party, and he came up with ideas for photos that truly came out magical. Whenever guests were taking shots with one of us, he would swoop in and get a professional shot, recognizing that if we taking photos ourselves it must be an important shot. David was a joy to work with. It is clear he has a passion for what he does and values his work and his clients. I highly recommend David for your wedding. He is worth every penny!!

I am probably the worst person to photograph. Both my husband and myself are a bit camera shy to begin with but David made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. It’s hard to describe the calm vibes he puts off but he just makes you feel like everything will be ok on your special day! Besides his photos being unreal, he is just a wonderful guy who made my day run as smoothly and as low stress as possible. He is worth whatever he quotes you!

David is such an amazing photographer and person! He takes amazing photos and is such a pleasure to work with. He is professional and courteous. We had to postpone our wedding two times due to COVID, and he was flexible and made everything so easy for us! He took our engagement photos, our backyard socially-distanced wedding photos, and our big wedding celebration photos - and each time he impressed us more and more! He also worked really well with all of our vendors. He is one of the reasons why our big wedding day went so smoothly and was the best day of our lives.

David Champagne is the absolute best. We are so thankful he was able to capture our engagement photos, COVID garden wedding, and finally the big wedding we planned before the world turned upside down. Through it all, David was incredibly supportive, professional, and captured all of most special moments beautifully. David is a real artist in how he is able to capture the moment and is a consummate professional. We cannot recommend David enough.

David is the best! He took the most beautiful pictures of my daughter's wedding. He captured the magic of the day and some incredible moments to last for a lifetime. David is very responsive to email. He was on time, very organized, respectful, easy to work with, very professional and offered some ideas and guidance that we hadn't thought of. I'd recommend him 100%. You won't be disappointed.

David does truly amazing work. Our pictures turned out even better than we could have possibly imagined. David was professional, kind, and efficient. This efficiency, which is no doubt a product of his many years of experience and expertise, was crucial as the day was quite long with many moving parts (and there is so much to capture). It was our pleasure to work with David and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for a wedding photographer.

David is the absolute best! We loved having him as our photographer for our wedding this past weekend. Our pictures were absolutely beautiful. He is professional, kind, funny, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. He made sure all of our photos were perfect and he had the most wonderful ideas. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. If you need photos taken, especially wedding photos, David is 100% the best and we highly recommend him! Thank you so much for everything, David!! :)

David was great! Everything you could ever want from a photographer. His pictures look great. He was easy to work with. He was open to what we wanted to do and gave great direction so what we wanted looked fantastic. He made the whole thing really fun! He did a wonderful job catching all the little moments which were awesome to see when we went through the photos.

All we can say is wow!! From the first time we saw David’s work we knew he had to photograph our wedding. He does such an amazing job! He has a very artistic style and captures every moment even better than you could imagine. We were told by several of our guests that David was the best photographer they have ever seen. He went above and Beyond with all of our pictures and made sure to stay on schedule so we weren’t late. I cannot say enough good things about David!

David is an amazingly talented photographer. He is professional but is so easy to get along with! We used him for both our engagement and wedding photos. The engagement photos were amazing and the sneak peaks we got from our wedding day were so perfect. David is great at giving direction on how to position your body to get just the right shot, which was great for awkward people like us! I cannot recommend David enough!

David was seriously the best photographer and person we could have gone with to support us and take beautiful photos on our wedding day. Not only did we love him, but both of our entire family members loved him. He was patient with everyone, family and bridal party included and made sure to prioritize what we wanted out of the day. I seriously cannot say enough kind things about this man's work and who he is as a person! He is so fun and made us feel comfortable and taken care of. After our engagement session I had no worries or anxieties about him capturing the beauty of our wedding day and all the laughs that came with it. He is work every penny and more! He helps plan the schedule for the photos of the day and we were ahead of schedule the whole time! You won't regret booking him!!

David is absolutely AMAZING! Hiring David Champagne as our wedding photographer for our October 2020 wedding in Virginia Beach was easily one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding!! Not only were our wedding photographs absolutely unbelievable, but David got them back to us in just two days!! David made the entire process so fun and easy. Even when we were unsure if we were going to be able to have our wedding as planned due to COVID, David always responded to all emails/calls within a day, reassuring us and answering all of our questions. In fact, when restrictions were lifted and Virginia Beach moved to Phase 3, David emailed us within the hour to celebrate! His level of professionalism was outstanding, from the very beginning he helped us create a wedding day timeline that kept us on schedule throughout the entire day. David was an excellent communicator throughout the entire planning process and for our entire wedding day he was always positive, calm, and had a great sense of humor that kept us laughing. David helped us throughout the process, from making recommendations for great spots for photographs, to making sure everyone in each photograph looked amazing, and even coaching us through all the little details! We never felt rushed taking pictures- David made sure we stayed ahead of schedule and made sure we were able to take every picture we wanted! Many guests came up to me throughout the evening to comment how friendly, organized, efficient, and professional our photographer was. I would absolutely recommend David Champagne to anyone that needs to hire a wedding photographer- his amazing photographs speak for themselves, but his experience, personality, and organization went above and beyond! David- working with you was a pleasure and we are forever grateful for all of the beautiful photographs of our wedding day. Thank you for everything!

David photographed our September 4th 2020 wedding at the new Marriott in Virginia Beach. In one word, he was fantastic. For one thing he took beautiful photos and he missed no detail or emotion for our day. He also was a great communicator and moved around his schedule to accommodate our postponed wedding for three different dates! On the wedding day he was on the ball and followed our scheduled to a tee. He also helped us with little things like pinning on my veil and boutineers and got really good candid pictures too! He also got our photos back to us in TEN DAYS. Yes within days! He made the process of taking thousands of photos fun, easy, and they came out beautifully! Thank you David-The Mercogliano’s

David Champagne is not only extremely talented, but professional and fun to work with! I did a bridal session that turned out amazing and he also included my family who came to help out! During our wedding day, he ensured we maintained our timeline and we were even running 10-15 mins early for most of it which was a huge stress reliever! When it decided to rain on our wedding day and limited our photo session during cocktail hour, David made sure we made the most of it and our pictures turned out better than we could have ever imagined despite not being able to stick to our original plan. You won’t regret hiring David Champagne for your big day! He knows how to use his cameras and doesn’t over edit photos like a lot of photographers do now-a-days. Thank you David! We can’t wait to treasure these photos for a lifetime. 😊

David was wonderful - We can not say enough great things about him! We knew of David's work prior due to him capturing a local couple's wedding 4 years ago - we just knew that we had to book him for our own wedding! Our engagement photos were gorgeous (and a quick turn around time too). With our (COVID) wedding plans ever-changing due to the pandemic, David was very patient and keep continuous communication with us to make sure we were all up to date on the latest plans. When it was the day of the wedding, he was organized (which I am so grateful for), kept us to the timeline (we were even ahead of schedule!), and was definitely a calm presence during the rush of the day. Our photos arrived in a little over two weeks. We loved looking through all of our photos. He not only captures the small details of the day but the important candid moments and of course your portrait-like photos. Needless to say we would definitely recommend David Champagne Photography!

We simply cannot speak highly enough about David Champagne Photography. We had a somewhat unique wedding experience, being married during the height of the global pandemic. David took the challenge of photographing our ever-changing ceremony with such grace, adaptability, and sincere consideration, both my wife and I were amazed at how above-and-beyond he went. David was creative, respectful, fun, and caring throughout the whole day. His professionalism and experience shine through by knowing exactly where to be and exactly what needs to happen next. We look forward to using David Champagne Photography again in the future if we have the wedding celebration we had originally planned. And we look forward to using David Champagne Photography for all life's big events!

David was AMAZING! Anyone who is able to have the honor to have him take the pictures of their wedding is lucky! He was so patient, kept us on schedule and was extremely professional! I cant wait to see all the amazing pictures from our wedding!

We first found David from the wonderful pictures our venue had posted around their wedding showroom. We looked further into his reviews and portfolio on his website and knew we had to book him! Booking David as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made! His warm, friendly personality was evident during our first video chat. Every time we communicated with David, we breathed a sigh of relief because we knew we had an absolute professional on our team. On the day of our wedding, David truly showed his professionalism, skill, and experience. He knew exactly how to pose our bridal party so we looked our best and he was able to make us laugh as he captured the perfect candids. His timeline planning was so efficient, flexible, and flawless. We were able to enjoy our cocktail hour, dinner, dance the night away AND take all the pictures we could have ever wanted. When we received our pictures, we were blown away! David did such an amazing job and we can’t thank him enough for capturing the perfection of our wedding day. David Champagne is THE photographer you want to book for your wedding, no doubt about it!

David and Matt were awesome the entire day--keeping us on schedule and capturing so many great moments throughout the event. It's clear David prepares and puts in the effort to the best for his clients. Would highly recommend!!

Working with David was an absolute delight, and probably one of the best (if not the best decision) we made in planning our wedding. Not only were the photos incredible, but David’s level of professionalism and fun personality was beyond what we could have hoped for. If I could give him 1000 stars I would. From the first meeting we knew we had made the right decision in coming to David. His experience, organization, and sense of calm was exactly what we wanted. A bonus to his incredible photography work. David helped us throughout the process, including planning our timeline and a list of must have photo combinations. He was always available when we had a question. His general wedding experience throughout the planning process and the day of was so appreciated. We never felt rushed taking pictures, and he knew just how to pose everyone to get the perfect shot. I had several guests comment on how great the photographer was. In a heartbeat I would recommend David to anyone that needs to hire a professional photographer for anything. You will not regret it!!! Thank you, David, so much for making our big day even more special!! Working with you was an absolute pleasure! The photographs will be a keepsake in our family forever. Words can not express how grateful we are. THANK YOU!

David photographed my wedding, and he was absolutely fantastic! He is highly professional, provides excellent guidance, kept us on track, and (most importantly) took fantastic pictures. He over-delivered in every way, and I couldn't have imagined a better photographer. David is an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him for any special event or milestone you would like photographed!

David was fantastic and really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. we were able to do an engagement session to get comfortable being in front of a camera! The day of our wedding he was on the ball with getting some of the best shots! We could not ask for better photos... highly recommend!!

With so many vendor options out there it’s hard knowing whether or not you made the right decision. Well with David I knew from the very first meeting he was the right choice. He was attentive, organized, and reduced stress like no other! Dave put the timeline together and kept the day in order even more so than my planners. He caught the most wonderful moments and you can tell he loves what he does. I honestly couldn’t be happier. Thank you, David!

Look no further, David is the absolute best! We knew we had to have him after seeing his images, and he well exceeded our expectations! He captured our engagement photos as well as our wedding day. He clearly loves what he does, and the quality of his photos speaks for itself! He is extremely professional and organized, and also super funny and creative. He’s always down for an adventure! During our engagement session he had us climbing out on rocks in the water to get the most beautiful dramatic shot. And during our wedding he brought us all the way up to the top of a garage to capture the sunset at the most perfect angle and time. During our actual ceremony and reception you wouldn’t know he was there, but the pictures show otherwise! He did not miss a single detail and captured all the right moments! He is so smart about where and how he sets up and moves around the space not to be a distraction. He wizzed through family pictures and did a great job of getting all our requests in a quick manner to keep things moving perfectly. We have showed friends and family our wedding pictures and everyone is blown away by the quality of the pictures, the colors and the shots he got. David’s brilliant vision captured our most important moments just the way we wanted with so much emotion that we can re-live the happiness of our wedding every time we look at them. My husband and I can’t wait to hire David again for all of our big life events down the road!

David was amazing! He captured the fun, intimate moments that we will have forever! So glad we chose him to be there on our special day.

David was EXCELLENT! His communication was on point through the entire process. His schedule was flexible and we never felt like we were rushed. He caught some fire action shots during our dances and as the sun was setting. He was fine being pulled around during the reception to capture certain moments. Overall he was very easy to work with and I highly recommend him!

We had a great experience with David! He was everything we could have dreamed of. We did an engagement session which I highly recommend because we were professionals when the big day came. He stayed beyond his time just to make sure he got one last photo of us leaving the venue which is one of my favorite photos! He is very easy to work with, very fun to work with, he is fast to get pictures and albums set. You really can't go wrong with David and we would recommend him time after time.

Could not have asked for a better photographer! We can not express enough what a wonderful job David did for us. From the very first meeting it was clear that he was going to go above and beyond what we could expect. Not only did he have beautiful photos to show us of past events, and gorgeous options for photo albums, but he was able to lay out a timeline we could expect for the wedding day based on his past experiences (such as which tasks tend to run late, etc). Through every step of the planning process he would email the both of us with explicit instructions about what he needed in order to ensure we got all of the photos taken that we wanted. We could rest easy knowing that David had a plan for our big day. He kept us informed with out being pushy or burdening my already stressed out bride to be (Now wife) with minor details. David helped us decide on a first look which was perfect as we were able to enjoy our entire cocktail hour. He kept everyone moving and on schedule during our photo sessions, and took beautiful photos. We had our friends bring our dog to our first photo session, David was very accommodating and even managed to keep our dog looking at the camera the entire time. During the church ceremony and the reception David knew exactly where to be and when. He was never in the way, but always there taking the perfect photo when he had to be. We are both very impressed with the photos of our big day, and the treatment we received from the initial meeting until the last picture was taken.

We had both an engagement session and our wedding shot by David. His attention to detail is simply the best! He knows how to pose you in a way to flatter.. “shoulder back, elbow out, knee slightly bent” you won’t get your pictures back thinking you wish your arm looked better :) He truly is the best and there is a reason he has never had a bad review. He is easy to contact and stays in touch, covering every angle to make the already hectic day run smooth. The icing on the cake is that he sends you a flash drive with EVERY SINGLE PICTURE he took, even the funny blinking ones. Thank you, David. You made the best day of our lives that much better!!

David was AMAZING!! So amazing that I chose to hire him as our wedding photographer after my sister used him 3 years ago for her own wedding! I knew I had to have him as my photographer also. We got married this summer in June on a horse farm where I keep my horse. David was able to help my husband and I plan our wedding timeline which was so helpful since I didn’t have an actual wedding coordinator. He basically filled this role for us! David was able to make last minute schedule changes to better fit our needs. On the day of, he made sure to never make me feel rushed. He always said, “the bride is never late.” David captured our special day so well, I cannot thank him enough!! Our pictures turned out so wonderful, it was everything I could have ever asked for! He made sure to include pictures with my horse as well which had been my dream for years. Please do yourself a favor and hire David!! You won’t regret it and you’ll love every picture!!!

If we could give David 50 stars we would! He helped us so much with planning and he put together our whole day of timeline! I consulted with him on so many things and he was just awesome to work with! On wedding day, he made sure everyone being photographed looked perfect at all times (fixing my train, making sure I was always on my good side, etc.). I also did not have a wedding coordinator and didn't need one with David, as he sure we stayed true to the timeline and everything went SO smoothly. During our reception, he was always nearby to capture any moments I needed. But at the same time, he was incredibly nonintrusive. All in all, we are completely blown away by the close to 3,000 photos David took. He captured every special moment, detail, and every guest that attended. We could not have asked for a better photographer! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

David is the best!! Wish I could leave more stars.

We could not ask more from David. He was such an amazing photographer and did such a wonderful job at our wedding! His recommendation for a first look was such a good idea. I love that my wife and I will have that moment, just for us, for the rest of our days! I highly recommend David as your photographer.

David, was incredible to work with during the lead up to our wedding and on our big day. He was detail-oriented and thorough in planning the photography timeline. David is a quintessential professional and master of his craft. We were drawn to his beautiful photography style, use of lighting and color, and his attention to every aspect of the wedding and reception. We highly recommend David for wedding photography. We could not have picked a better vendor. Thank you, David, for documenting this joyous occasion for us.

David is amazing!!! He did our engagement photos and after that we knew he was the one to capture our special wedding day. He is so caring and gets to know you, and his pictures are amazing! He makes sure you’re comfortable and completely satisfied! He is so detail oriented and I would recommend him to anyone!! Amazing photographer!

David was such a dream to work with! We found him through browsing Instagram and from the moment we reached out to him all the way to getting our photos back, he was an amazing fit for us. He captured the most beautiful pictures I get to enjoy forever. The communication prior to the wedding was great! He captured moments we didn't even realize he was photographing. He made everyone laugh during bridal party and family photos, and nothing felt rushed. I am so happy we chose him as our photographer, he was such a huge part of our day and captured everything! We got our wedding photos back SO FAST which was amazing. I recommend anyone and everyone to him! I promise you will not regret it!

David Champagne was perfect from the first time meeting him all the way to to the weeks after the wedding! Professional in every way. He handles everything personally and has no problems answering questions. The shots he does are amazing he did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photographs. Getting the day of timeline worked out from him really helped move the day along without having to worry about which pictures are happening at what time. Would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer!

David was a fantastic person to work with. My husband and I didn't feel uncomfortable in front of the camera with David guiding us. He also went above and beyond. My Maid of Honor was unsure of how to put my veil on and how to remove it. So.. what happens? David taught her how! I thought that was pretty awesome. His professionalism through the entire day made our wedding day go by so smoothly. Every picture he captured.. are the moments that we would want to keep near and dear to our hearts. If you want someone that can take beautiful photos on your wedding day and have the amazing experience like we did. David is the way to go!

Right from the start, David made my husband and I feel right at ease. He was just as excited as we were to take such memorable pictures on our special day. The day goes by so fast and to be able to have 10 hours of photography allowed us to take every picture we had envisioned without feeling rushed. From start to finish, the experience with David was phenomenal!!!!

David was awesome!!!! He is so professional and EXCELLENT at what he does. My pictures are beautiful, capturing our precious moments of the whole day. David is a jack off all trades, he even helped me bustle my gown LOL! He was so pleasant and had so much patience. I would love to use David again and I have recommended him to anyone who asks about a photographer. You will NOT be disappointed with him. Thank you again David for making our day even more special.

David was an absolute joy to work with! Not only did he capture our day beautifully, but he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! All of our friends and family cannot stop complementing our photos! I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and fun wedding photographer.

David is very professional and takes phenomenal pictures. He works well under pressure and is able to herd the people to different positions when needed.

David Champagne was better than we could imagine! Not only are his pictures amazing, he was excellent to work with through the whole wedding journey. I found David’s pictures online and was impressed with his work . We chose him without any recommendations and could not have beet happier. He was professional, prompt, took awesome pictures but was never obvious or intrusive. All of our gUests commented on how great he was during the wedding and reception. David is top notch and we were fortunate to have had him as our wedding photographer!!! His pictures truly captured the day and will give us lifetime visual memories to cherish forever!

David was everything we could have hoped for! We feel so lucky to have gotten the chance to work with him. He was professional and helpful from the very beginning. On the day of the wedding he made sure we felt comfortable and helped direct our poses so the pictures would look as natural as possible. He showed us sneak peeks throughout the day which felt so special. The pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL and we got them SO fast! We got our pictures 5 days after the wedding and everyone who sees them says they’re the best they’ve seen! We have to agree :) We couldn’t recommend David enough!

David truly is the best out there! Make sure to book him early! From our engagement pictures to our wedding day, everything was perfect. We can't wait to see our wedding day photos because from the sneak peek he showed us, they were absolutely beautiful! He is very professional and the photography was one of the only things we did not have to stress about for our wedding day. We can't say thank you enough to him!

Not only is David Champagne an amazingly talented photographer, but he’s a joy to work with! He captured beautiful memories of our daughter’s February wedding at New Life Church in Ghent and the reception that followed at the Woman’s Club of Portsmouth. He was very organized and went over many details with us prior to the wedding so that everything ran oh so smoothly the day of. He also had great suggestions for general wedding stress-busters and reminders based on his past experiences with brides, grooms, bridal parties, and families. He is calm, funny, professional, and his photographs are beautiful and creative. So happy with our photos and happy to recommend him!

Book David immediately. We simply cannot recommend David enough. He is the consummate professional and is worth every penny! David worked with us every step of the way from our engagement photos to the final product. When we first me with David, he walked us through a sampling of his work and all of his different packages and products. The pricing structure he offers is very up front and no frills - you can add on pieces or products at any time with no penalty for not bundling them in the beginning. He even offers couples a payment plan to pay in installments leading up to the big day. Leading up to the big day, David helped us craft a “must have” photo list and timeline to ensure everything went smoothly on the wedding day and maximize the available daylight while minimizing the impact that taking the pictures would have on the wedding party and our family enjoying themselves. His timeline planning kept our day organized and stress free! On the wedding day, he was amazing - arriving early to ensure everything went exactly as planned and not leaving until we got some beautiful night time photos underneath the stars. While we were getting ready, he went above and beyond to set up the shots, make sure the dress looked perfect, and keep the wedding party organized and on schedule. During the event, he worked with us to perfect the lighting so that no off-camera umbrella flashes were needed and constantly checked up on us to see if there were any particular photos we wanted during the reception. If David fits within your budget, it’s a no-brainer - he is THE BEST. If you can trim your budget elsewhere to fit him in, do it - he’s WORTH IT! If your wedding is out of the Hampton Roads area, then buy him a plane ticket… you won’t be disappointed.

David brought all my wishes and visions come true and beyond with my engagement and wedding pictures. His pictures are phenomenal. Not only that he is one of the kindest people I've ever met. He is capable of making everyone comfortable and he's funny. After I saw my engagement photos I knew I needed him for my wedding, which was in NY. David made everything easy on the business side and he was incredibly helpful the day of the wedding and before, creating a schedule for the day. My husband does NOT smile for pictures but David was able to get plenty. My friends and family loved him so much they were talking about him on a first name basis. He also gives you every picture be takes which is awesome, with no watermark. You won't regret having David!

David was a crucial part of our wedding day. He made my husband (who is not the most patient with pictures), our wedding party and all of our guests comfortable and captured the love and joy that we all felt. The physical memories that we have from our big day are magnificent.
