David Welch Photography

Looking for wedding photos to swoon over forever? David Welch is your guy. In the course of our wedding planning process, he not only became our wedding photographer, but someone who we consider a friend. From day one, David was incredibly communicative and really took the time to get to know my husband and I (and our dog Shyne!). David navigated and delivered on our vision for our wedding day photography. His work is absolutely breathtaking and truly captures every moment of your special day. David’s calm, organized and thorough nature instantly puts everyone at ease on a day where emotions are running high and moving parts are at play. It truly felt like he was everywhere at once! He always goes the extra mile to get an amazing shot – from hanging out a car window to capture us leaving our ceremony in a horse drawn carriage to using his drone to snap photos of us and our wedding party atop the Edgartown Lighthouse. David does whatever it takes to ensure you remember it all. Words cannot adequately express how lucky we feel to have found David and sincerely look forward to having him capture future life moments for us and our family.

David was the perfect photographer for our last minute COVID-19 wedding on the Vineyard. He was wonderful and flexible from the start, while being professional and safe given everything going on. We loved that he so beautifully captured both the big and more tender moments of our day. He made the entire experience fun and light, even managing to distract the groom enough to capture some truly candid (and not goofy, forced smile) photographs. Our families also loved his good natured and laid back style. The photos speak for themselves - just gorgeous. We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer for our wedding day.

"I cannot write enough good things about David Welch. I spoke to a lot of photographers before deciding on David and I knew the first time I talked to him that he was going to be “the one.” He was incredibly flexible with what we wanted and went through step by step how the day would go. He even came to our rehearsal so that everyone would be comfortable with him before the big day. On the day of the wedding I barely even noticed he was there. He just blended right in like he was one of the family. Everyone at the wedding loved him and this is all before we even saw the pictures. The pictures were PERFECT. He really captured our entire day and every time I look through them I feel that I’m reliving the day all over again. There’s an organic feel to his photography that I just love and every picture was fantastic. There is no way anyone could go wrong with choosing David."

If a great photographer and gorgeous photos are at the top of your list as it was ours, David is your guy. We live on Martha's Vineyard and are familiar with several of the photographers we could have worked with; David was an easy choice. From the moment we met him in his studio, David's balance of professionalism, passion and easy going character put us at ease that we were not only in talented hands but that he would help us feel comfortable in front of the camera. His style and skill matched our desire for a photojournalistic approach to memorialize our special day. We wanted to not only capture the spirit of our wedding day but also to have art to share and enjoy for the rest of our days. David and his assistant did just that. From scouting spots to photograph before the wedding to his enthusiasm for our many ideas to his excellent communication with us in the days prior to our wedding- making adjustments for a looming nor'easter- David was able to capture all of the moments and details, yet we barely noticed he was there. He helped us feel relaxed and natural. He kept us on schedule and despite the wind and rain blowing outside, found amazing picturesque backdrops and gave us some of the most beautiful photos we could have asked for that truly told the story of our day. In addition, we did a second photo session a few weeks after our wedding to get the outdoor shots we couldn't do in the wind and rain. David was accommodating, flexible, professional and enthusiastic and most of all, his work is amazing and truly speaks for itself. An absolute pleasure to work with, David captured our wedding in a way we will remember forever. Can not thank him enough!!!

Choosing David Welch as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding process! Firstly, he was extremely easy to work with. We met several times prior to the wedding and went over everything in detail. He answered all of our questions and made us feel calm and confident for the wedding day. On the day of our wedding David was so fun to work with. His calm demeanor totally set the tone. He was extremely flexible while always being cognizant of keeping us on track so we were sure to enjoy ourselves. We had the pleasure to also have him shoot our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Upon receiving the photos, we could not believe the quality and the amount of memories that he was able to capture. We feel so lucky to be able to have such beautiful memories from such a special day. I can't say enough great things about David. He is talented, professional and truly a great guy.

As a bride, finding the perfect photographer to capture our wedding day was one of my first priorities. I knew this would be a struggle when I was researching online and found an immense amount of photographers on Martha’s Vineyard. When we were in contact with David, we immediately knew we wanted him to be a part of our most special day! David proved to be beyond perfect. He is extremely professional, easy to communicate with and most importantly a genuine person who is talented beyond words. Because we lived in CT, the majority of our communication was through email, text or phone calls. He was quick to respond with creative and unique places to shoot on our wedding day. He was thorough and ensured all of our requests were fulfilled. He even met us at our rehearsal the night before to go over details for our ceremony. Our wedding party couldn’t say nicer words about David. He made everyone feel at ease and was very flexible and fun. One of our groomsmen told us how he’s never had such a great time taking pictures with a wedding party. He expressed how David was so easy to work with and made what could’ve been a strenuous/dull process, a memorable experience. After we received our pictures, we were absolutely blown away and were so proud to share them with all of our friends and family (many tears were shed ☺). Not only did David take the most beautiful photographs, he was able to capture the emotion from that day and we will treasure that for the rest of our lives. To this day we tell everyone how wonderful he is and how grateful we were to have him be a part of our wedding day! We look forward to having David take pictures in the future ahead.

If you are getting married, David is the guy you want to capture your special day! We had one meeting with David and knew he was the photographer we wanted to work with . From the start he made us feel comfortable and confident in his services. We got the most beautiful photos from our engagement shoot and knew the wedding day would be even better. He certainly exceeded all of our expectations. I am so happy we chose to work with David Welch. Not only do we have the most amazing photos to look back on, but we now have a photographer who we will want to capture all of our future life milestone.

David is truly phenomenal! My husband and I first met him at the Harbor View's New Years Eve party the night we were engaged, and the moment I knew we were getting married on the Vineyard I knew I had to contact David. He responded almost immediately, and remembered us - and said how special it was for him to capture our first photo as an engaged couple. That comment stood out to me, and I knew we had to have David as our photographer! He even suggested doing our first look down at the harbor where we got engaged, an idea I hadn't even considered (it was amazing!) He's creative, talented, and a true pleasure to be around. Besides your better half, you probably spend most of your wedding day with your photographer - so although quality is a top priority, choosing someone who is genuine, kind, flexible and spirited is also SO important! Mike and I were SO lucky to find all of those qualities in David. I would recommend him to anyone, but especially brides and grooms getting married on the Vineyard. David knows the island better than anyone I've met, and was able to take absolutely perfect shots, in fantastic lighting, and captured the most special moments of our day. He and his assistant completely immersed themselves in every moment, yet in such a flawless way we forgot they were there at times. He ensured WE were getting everything out of our day that we had hoped for, and his photos are proof of that. His photos are whimsical, romantic, and perfectly capture the tiniest details. He is the best of the best, and we are so thankful we chose him! We can't wait to use him for anniversary shots & family events in the future!

David did our engagement & wedding pictures. He is an amazing photographer with great ideas & worked with us so well. If I had enough wall space I would hang up every one of the photos that he took! I would recommend him to anyone for any type of photography. I look forward to having him taking our family pictures in the future!

David and his assistant weer super knowledgeable helpful and easy to work with. And their pictures were both unique and romantic capturing the event beautifully.
