David Stephen Photography

Finding it difficult to accurately describe David’s talent—beyond exceptional. My husband and I were looking for a photographer with a classic, natural style. We didn’t want to be over posed or over filtered, timelessness was extemely important to us. The wedding albums David sent us were far beyond anything we could have imagined. Stunning photos, a perfect depiction of the whole day from start to finish. As a bonus to his talent, David is an absolute blast to work with. You can tell he loves what he does. David makes you feel comfortable and calm and confident, must hire David Stephen!!!

David was such an amazing part of our wedding, not only did he take breathtaking photos that truly captured the best day of my life but he was so friendly and accommodating. He was a fun addition to my wedding, and gave me photos I will cherish for a lifetime!

David is AMAZING! Like seriously, unreal!! For starters, his photography is beautiful. But, it's more than just that. David is so passionate about his job (if only I could like my job a fraction of how much he loves his), your special day, and everything that goes into it. His energy and positivity is incredible!! All day he kept me cool as a cucumber and was a keeper of our schedule/timeline. David also goes the extra mile beforehand to scout out good locations. We got married on NYE 2017 (when literally all of the USA was frozen). With the cold weather (10 degrees, negative wind chills) and early sunset, David strategically planned indoor and outdoor locations to make sure we could still get amazing shots! He came down to the venue area multiple times to ensure he was ready. I can't say enough good things about David. Believe me... HIRE DAVID!! He is truly the best!!

David and his assistant Sarah were absolutely incredible. It was truly a top notch experience. If you want a photographer you can be yourself around, and have so much fun with I highly recommend them! The photos are so natural. Such an amazing part of our day! Love love love them!!

Honestly, the best decision I ever made in this whole wedding (aside from my groom) was to have David photograph my wedding. And my engagement shoot. And inevitably every other event in my life when I want memories captured in an amazing way. He has a talent to make things look better than they were in person, to capture tiny details that might otherwise go unnoticed, and the impossible task of motivating groups of boys to be awesome in pictures. His fun, upbeat, and always excited personality puts everyone at ease and makes for perfect pictures. During shoots he makes you feel like you are all super models, but especially the bride :) And his pictures look the same way. He had an amazing team of photographers with him that were absolutely amazing as well and between them all we have memories from our special day that we can share with the world - it is an absolute dream. What David and his team gave me for our wedding (and at a way better price than any other true photo journalist in Cincinnati) is an a priceless treasure. Also, I was more than thrilled to receive these wonderful gifts MONTHS before other photographers can usually deliver. I always had photos within a week - just because he was THAT excited and that hyped up about the shots... as he should be. They are pretty incredible.

I really loved working with David. From our first phone call to today, when I'm receiving my beautiful photographs, I have been nothing bur overjoyed with his professionalism and his work. He is a warm, kind person, did a great job of blending in with the guests of the wedding, and took some of the most beautiful wedding photos I have ever seen (and I LOVE wedding blogs). Both my mother and I said afterwards that we were often wondering just where David had disappeared to during the ceremony and reception, but our doubts were allayed when we saw the quantity and quality of his shots. He even flew all the way home from Dubai to shoot our wedding. I could not be more grateful-he was the favorite of my vendors, and was worth every single penny.

Not only does David take amazing shots, he has a wonderful personality to go along with it. He adds so much to the wedding day in terms of his energy and enthusiasm. He makes everyone feel so comfortable and excited to create some amazing memories on film. He truly wants to create a story with his photographs and capture all the emotions the day brings out. I felt like I had a friend taking my picture who understood and anticipated my needs. He was able to take control of the situation, but also at times blend into the background. He is an asset to any wedding day!

Of all the wedding planning, I was most choosy about our photography. We knew the moment we met David that he was the perfect choice. I shopped around for weeks looking at dozens of photography blogs, and his struck me the most. Our personalities clicked and we knew he's have zero problem seeing out our vision for our photos. And did he ever deliver! Our photos are PHENOMENAL, and our family and friends so enjoyed David and his second shooter, Ashley. We most enjoyed the photo booth (it's a must!). The price was reasonable for the quality, and David was nothing short of a joy to work with.

I simply can't say enough amazing things about David's work and personality! He was a BLAST to be around the entire day (as well as his assistant Ashley)! They kept us laughing all day long which made for fantastic pictures. David brought several ipads and passed them around at the reception to show people pictures from earlier in the day - I can't tell you how much the guests enjoyed that and how many tears I saw from people who truly had no words for his amazing work. The images speak for themselves - they are absolutely breathtaking! They so perfectly capture the raw emotion of the day and make you feel like you are re-living it all over again. Would HIGHLY recommend David to any bride and groom looking for fantastic images at a great price. The experience and images truly can't be beat by any other photographer (believe me, I've talked to them all)!

We couldn't be any happier with David's work. He is very skilled in photographer but also very adaptive your personality. He made the entire wedding party feel very relaxed and have fun taking photos. We are extremely pleased with the final product and would recommend David to any bride and groom.
