About this vendor
Located in Long Beach, California, I've had the honor and privilege to capture weddings and events all over our glorious state. I started off on a shoe string budget with big hopes and dreams to capture lasting images for my clients. After a decade studying the art of photography, I have found my own style of storytelling through pictures. Photography has taught me to see the world around me in a different way. We believe good photographers should be able to evoke an emotion with a single image. David England Photography offers a non invasive photography experience that produces results.

Amazing team, very professional and patient. Love there work
We had our engagement photo session done with David and his assistant Blake and it was amazing! The booking was very easy and David was so responsive and helpful from the moment we...
inquired. We were unsure where we wanted to do it so he gave us some amazing suggestions. They made the shoot so fun and helped us get comfortable with getting our pictures taken and gave us so many great poses to do. We could not believe how quickly we received our photos (the next day!) and how absolutely beautiful they turned out. I highly recommend them!
David England photographed for our Wedding recently in November of 2024. He was an absolute pleasure working with us on our wedding day. He’s high-caliber and it shows in his ap...
proach to his clients and craft. I was very lucky to have been recommended by a dear friend who worked with him on both business and personal bookings. David was so kind & friendly and was intrigued to hear about our love story and how he could add his skills to our special day. Highlights from our experience with David England: 1) Easy booking & quick response. 2) Fun, Positive, Productive session tailored to our request for photos of our wedding day. 3) Quick turn around on Digital delivery, with high quality photos. 4) Provided great recommendations for poses, backdrops and outdoor shots. 5) Pricing packages were on par our expectations. I will definitely work with David again. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to get superb results & value!

If I could give David and his assistant Dipan 10 stars I would! From our first phone call, I knew David was the perfect photographer for us. He listened to what we wanted, gave us ...
thoughtful suggestions, and made both of us feel calm. On the day of the wedding, both David and Dipan were superstars! They had so much energy, they were so kind in helping me carry my wedding dress train around so it wouldn't get dirty, and they just kept a wonderful positive demeanor from beginning to end. Then, to top it all off, our wedding pictures were ready 4 days after the wedding! I could not believe that such quality work was done and ready for viewing so quickly! The pictures were BEAUTIFUL. From the posed portraits to the candids, every picture was just so thoughtfully taken. Please hire David and his team, it will be the best decision you can make for your wedding!!
I could not recommend David England Photography enough. David was amazing to work with from quote to end of my reception. We had David photograph my wedding reception and he did an...
amazing job from the group photos during the cocktail hour, the general event photos, and then even directed "vision" photos where he and his assistant photographer posed my bride and I in some wonderful photos. He was absolutely professional, but also just fun to work with. He has a great personality, and made everyone comfortable. After our event, we received our photos in a couple days, it was very quick, and they looked wonderful. Thank you so much, would highly recommend.
David came highly recommended to us by our wedding coordinator and we couldn’t have made a better decision! From the very beginning, he was responsive, informative and the consumma...
te professional. He ensured the perfect timeline to capture our best images from the first look to the dance party at the end. He was able to accomplish this so seamlessly because he was on site early and had already prepared his shot list. He delivered our final amazing pictures in less than a week and we are thrilled with the outcome! David is the absolute best photographer to hire if you want a flawless execution that will exceed your expectations!
We hired David to photograph our wedding vow renewal ceremony with large family group portraits in the church. But our favorite images were portraits he took of us in the park pri...
or to the ceremony. Lighting was phenomenal and his ease with posing let me relax. Having these memories documented with gorgeous photos makes our experience even better than I imagined. As a photography enthusiast, I tend to be picky and particular, and I was totally relaxed in David's care. From start to finish, David was accessible and helpful with confirmation memos throughout the process. I was never confused or worried because he is totally confident and caring. And it stood out to me that he never let us see him sweat, even when other vendors and our late arrival put timing pressure on his part. He was calm and collected. Our largest group portrait was approx 80 people in 1 group photo and he was the ultimate maestro efficiently grouping and capturing that chaos into a beautiful portrait that was the best anniversary gift for our celebration! In times like these, it's almost shocking to get such great customer care and even more so with his competitive pricing structure. David stands out above the rest and will continue to grow and expand because he has all the hallmarks of success - thank you so much David!!

with David was easy, efficient and fun from the booking process, our meetings in the lead up to the wedding day as well as on the actual day itself. The quick turn around on receiving our wedding photographers was super impressive. We cannot rate David highly enough for an LGBTQ+ wedding - he is amazing!
I cannot say enough great things about David England, his work, and his team. The moment I spoke with David for the first time, I knew he was the photographer for our wedding. He...
is friendly, intuitive, talented and took time to get to know my fiancé and me. He put us at ease during our engagement photo shoot and during our wedding. I’m not the most comfortable having my picture taken, but he has a way of making you forget about any discomforts you may have. Our photos came out amazing and he is working with us currently to develop a personalized wedding album. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants great customer service, fair pricing, amazing photos, and just an overall great experience! He also had some great referrals which resulted in three other amazing vendors for our wedding!
I couldn't imagine our engagement photos or wedding with anyone other than David England. He helped my wife and I feel the most comfortable and natural while he took our photos. Al...
l of his suggestions and ideas for poses were wonderful and created amazing photos! He also did a great job taking candid photos, which were important to us. For both our engagement and wedding, we had so many great photos to choose from - it was impossible to narrow them down (and I mean that in the best way possible.) He was so kind, personable, and funny to help ease my anxiety about getting my photos taken. I would recommend him to all of my friends and family!
Absolutely stunning photography!!! My wife and I could not be any more pleased working with David and his team. David captured the beauty of our wedding and ourselves. David’s phot...
ography is Art and we couldn’t imagine working with anyone else after this. His professionalism, flexibility, and magnetic personality made our experience fun and amazing! He listens to your vision, inspires your creativity, and performs to perfection! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything you did and continue to do. We highly recommend David England Photography for your wedding, birthday, or special event.
David was the perfect photographer for our wedding! He is profoundly professional and talented on top of being incredibly kind and fun to work with. I had a wedding at my parent's ...
house and he was able to find the best locations for beautiful photos. Since what I wanted was a bit out of the ordinary or traditional, he made a huge effort to make sure I got exactly what I wanted and worked with me while also giving helpful insight, advice, and reassurance that I needed. Absolutely thrilled with the whole experience.
My partner (now wife) and I had contacted several different photographers before coming across David. David responded immediately and we liked what he had to say and offered so mu...
ch flexibility, not to mention his style of picture taking, that we knew he was what we were looking for in a photographer. We at first hired David just for the wedding, but we ended up adding an engagement photo session. Adding the engagement session was the best addition because we got to see David in action before the wedding. He brought out our energy and we had a lot of fun!! The day of the wedding, David, my new wife, and I already knew how to interact with one another that the photo taking came with ease. David’s vision is brilliant. He cares about his craft. His photos come alive. When we received both sets of photos from the engagement session and the wedding day, we cried each time. The photos were both fun and gorgeous. David captured the biggest day of our life together beautifully.
Thank you David!

David was honestly the best choice for photography during my wedding! Hiring him was honestly the easiest process. The initial meeting was very effortless and his personality made ...
it extremely easy to hire him. On the day of my wedding, he brought high energy which is needed from your vendors on such a stressful day. David was fun but professional. Now on to the pictures… OMG! My pictures came out stunning! Like beyond anything else I could have ever imagined. My husband and I love all of our photos and are thankful that he captured all of our important moments on that day. The second photographer Barry was also a dream to work with and brought just as much energy as David. I would definitely recommend them to any Brides out there searching! Thank you David and Barry!
David England is the best.! The first time I spoke with him, I knew he was the right choice.
He is dedicated to his work which is reflected in every photo. The pictures he captur...
ed at our wedding were awesome and will provide my husband and I with a lifetime of memories.
Honestly, there are not enough words to express how great David England is as a photographer and person. If you want the best , David England is your photographer. His services will be beyond your expections! Elaine Williams Russ
My husband and I could not be happier that we chose David as our wedding photographer! David and his assistant captured our getting-ready photos at Surf and Sand, first look at Hei...
sler Park, and wedding ceremony/reception at Terra Laguna. From the start, it was clear he was a true professional. David not only had 20+ years of experience, but he went above and beyond helping us understand his process, working through logistics of the day, and even going out of his way to meet us in person prior to the wedding. Through all of these interactions, David was prompt and detail-oriented. He focused on getting to know us and our story. From the early preview he's shared with us (physical prints on day-of wedding and text photos day after wedding), it's amazing how he's managed to capture the essence of our relationship in just a few photos. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos, so we can relive the memories from our special day. Thank you so much, David - you are a gem!
We hired David and his team on the recommendation from our venue, City Cruises, and it was the best decision we could have made. Not only was David and his team so much fun to hang...
out with throughout our day, but the final photos were jaw dropping, beautiful! We had an epic sunset that he captured so perfectly the backgrounds almost looked fake. He was so easy to communicate with and we got our photos back within 3 weeks. Would highly recommend anyone in the SoCal area to hire him for your wedding ASAP!
David England is very professional. I can't say enough great things about David England. He is professional, kind, and passionate about his work. David made our wedding truly unfor...
gettable. From the moment he started at our hotel to the wedding reception he went above and beyond. He really makes you feel like he is a part of the family. I was so pleased with his work I got him to dance with my wife. Thank you David

many times and every time David was so accommodating, which during COVID was so nice. We appreciate him so much.
This photo shoot was the most fun we have ever had taking pictures. He was very kind, patient and help guide us to take some beautiful pictures. David is one of the best photographers I have ever worked with. We will definitely be hiring him in the future.
David England was able to capture the magnitude and colorful playfulness of our wedding at sea with his overwhelming attentiveness and dedication to his craft. He is extremely pers...
onable and extremely efficient. I chose him as our photographer after looking through his portfolio. His photos were lively and brimming with personality. As soon as I inquired about his services, I knew this was the person I could trust with documenting the delightfully chaotic moments that accompany a wedding. He reached out to me frequently in the months leading up to the big day, gathering details, fielding questions and giving me every opportunity to request specific shots, etc. Planning a wedding for the first time is intimidating but David is generous with his knowledge and the photography was one thing I did not worry about. The pictures turned out incredibly and I’m excited to have them forever. I would highly recommend his services to anyone. I will utilize them again for the next event that calls for such finesse and artful execution.
As a Wedding venue manager I have worked with hundreds of photographers over 15 years. When it came time to hire the perfect photographer for my son's Wedding, I turned to David. ...
He has a fantastic eye , a fun personality, and a strong worth ethic that never stops. He treated the bride & groom and family like royalty and turned my goofy son and shy daughter-in-law into models. He was able to capture real moments in true photojournalism lifestyle, exactly what we wanted. The photos are seriously magazine worthy. Thank you David for giving us moments that we will treasure forever!
David was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very beginning. We were originally looking for engagement photography, however after seeing his work and meeting him for a cons...
ult we knew immediately we wanted him for our wedding too. We are local to Long Beach, however we were planning a wedding in Texas and he was 100% on board to travel and capture our day!
As the wedding approached, David kept in close contact to make sure we were all on the same page for times, places, and people. He was able to attend our rehearsal at the venue which gave him an opportunity to scout the area for great photos, introduce himself to the bridal party and give some great advice on how to help get great photos before the day of the wedding.
The day of the wedding, David and his co-photographer Tracy made everything feel so easy: the slightest change of a pose, different lighting and angles, close attention to details and big smiles all around. All of our friends and family are still talking about how great they were, and we are all very excited to see how the photos turn out.
David is a wonderful professional, and is also great fun to work with. We will definitely be looking to work with him in the future for any of our photographer needs.
David was amazing to work with, and very responsive to questions and messages! He and his colleague, Carsten, created some beautiful memories of our recent wedding ceremony, and I ...
would recommend them to anyone. I love our photos and the slideshow makes me cry every time!
David was incredible and such a pleasure to work with. He was so helpful and thorough, and took the time to answer all my questions and even helped me plan out my ceremony time sin...
ce it was outdoors and needed to be managed against sunlight. He offered advice when we ended up having to postpone, and was so accommodating when we decided to do a wedding shoot prior to our civil court ceremony. When we had decided upon a park for our photos, once again David was as thorough as ever and scoped it out beforehand then contacted me about lighting and timing and preferred locations within the park. His charisma and positive, fun attitude made our day perfect! Pictures were turned around to us in record speed, looked amazing and his pricing is fair for the services he provides. My husband and I don’t take many pictures and he helped us through posing (which at times was pretty humorous). Even though covid had ruined our plans for a wedding, David made us feel so special and truly made the day memorable. Highly recommend him!
David is impressive!! He captured every moment of our special day from first looks to last dance; our pictures are impeccable. We are literally experiencing the entire evening over...
(and over) again as we navigate through them. We are beyond grateful for David’s gift of photography and cheerful spirit. He surely has an eye for detail and knows his way around a yacht. You can trust that when he says, “let’s shoot here!” He knows best.
Thanks again, David! We’ll definitely be calling you to capture more memories in the future!
We've used David for 4 different shoots now over the course of a year and a half - our wedding, some family photos, my personal headshots and a photo shoot for my son's talent agen...
cy. What I really like and respect about David is that he's fun to work with but super professional at the same time. He can cut up and laugh with you but he will still keep you and the shoot on track. He's truly a professional. So it makes for a fun experience with great photos, a win win! We've always been happy our photos, which is why we continue to go back to him as our family grows and as we need it professionally. Thank you David for always taking care of us! Highly recommended. -Angela, Jack & Caleb
David is a wonderful photographer. Personal, professional and responsive. And did I mention how great his photos came out? He comes highly recommended.

If I could give David more stars I would! First off I would like to say that working with him before the wedding was great, he was very responsive, meet us and visit our venue prio...
r to the wedding date to get an idea of our vibe and the location. He really made us feel like he cared about our day.
Working with him day it was amazing, he was professional and made us feel completely comfortable. Having him around was a great addition to the wedding and he really made it easy to work with him. There were no forced over posed photos, of course there was direction and details to make sure we captured the right shots but not the over done atmosphere I think a lot of people have issues with. He made it fun for us and was even the person to signal me to walk down the isle since technically I was my own coordinator. He went about and beyond day of.
We received our photos back in three days...yes this is unheard of in this industry and with weddings that definitely is the first time I have heard of such a quick turn around. **Please don't expect this from him...but we did get all 900+ edited photos back in record time. We love all of our photos. Those that were posed were perfect and the direction he made really made sense. "Nose in front Gavin" I can hear him saying in my mind... the candid were some of my personal favorites. Overall I would recommend David and his team for any event you have. We absolutely loved working with him and would hire him again in a heartbeat!
My wife and I met David at an open house and we fell in love with his infectious personality and clear passion he has for photography. We booked him days later and even paid in ful...
l, 1.5 years before our wedding- We were that confident!
It is now 4 days after our wedding, we’ve only seen the sneak peeks but I can tell you that besides saying yes to each other, it’s the best decision we made on our wedding day.
He was able to calm my wife down when family drama occurred and captured our love for each other in one click.
You will NOT regret booking David as your day of photographer, he is absolutely amazing.
David was a truly exception photographer for our wedding. David’s attention to detail, lighting, user friendly app to download our photos made the entire experience wonderful. I ha...
