David and his second shooter, Denise, photographed our wedding on August 12, 2017 at Greenvale Vineyard in Portsmouth, RI. They were both an absolute pleasure to work with and I ca...
n't say enough about the photos! We got a preview after just 2 days (100 highlight photos!) and the rest a month later. Absolutely amazing and would recommend for anyone in the area. Thank you David & Denise!
I got married August 2017 and picking DGL Photography was one of the best decisions we made. We wanted someone who could take candid pictures and with his journalism background he ...
did such amazing job. David takes such pride in his pictures you can tell he wants every shot to come out great. Denise his assistant is also really nice too and took wonderful pictures. I loved the pictures of the groom getting ready. They work very well together. DGL Photography also gives you a wedding preview a few days after the wedding. It was so nice to be on my honeymoon and get to see some pictures of throughout the day. My family loved the pictures that they took. I had to change the time of when Denise had to be there the day before the wedding and it wasn't a problem. They are so understanding and so easy to work with. I would highly reccomend DGL because they will give you the exact pictures you want and then some.
I had BIG expectations for my wedding photos. David exceeded them all. He put up with my insane lists of "must haves", crazy relatives, and delivered the most beautiful wedding pho...
tos a woman could imagine. In addition, he was extremely personable. My husband does not enjoy getting his photo taken and always has his eyes closed. David and him hit it off immediately and that made my husband much more comfortable. David was always at the right place at the right time and got every special moment and more. Worth every penny.
I am so happy that I found David. He was my photographer for my wedding in May and also did an engagement shoot last summer. He is very easy to work with and makes you feel comfort...
able during your shoot. He also takes great pride in his work and works very hard to get great shots. The thing that I love most about David's work is that he captures intimate moments but you do not even know that he is there! Everyone has commented on how beautiful our pictures are and my family and I really enjoyed looking back through all of them after the wedding. I would also highly recommend using his assistant, Denise. She is wonderful and takes beautiful pictures as well. Thank you David and Denise!
We were thrilled to find David! We loved that his background was in photo journalism because we had planned to infuse so much personality into our day and we knew the best photos ...
would be moments captured, not posed photos. And boy were we right! He did such a great job capturing the special moments and did it with such an artistic eye! We took photos around Boston that look like they could be featured in magazines! We did a number of photos by the pond in the public garden and people have mentioned that we look like we are standing in front of a Monet painting!
I highly recommend David for any sort of event photography, especially weddings. He was very good at being discreet during the ceremony and got a ton of fabulous photos. He was with us all day and never lacked energy!! He also was great at helping me stay on a time and never made me feel nervous when I knew I was running late!
David took a few hours to meet with us, get to know us and to walk around our venue and neighborhood ahead of time. He was able to help me plan the day (we did a first look and family photos beforehand). He was very informative about what to expect and I really needed that, planning a wedding was more stressful than I had anticipated!
Additionally, he was so flexible. My Matron of Honor (Sister) got pregnant and we had to move our original wedding date about a month and a half later than we had planned. David was so understanding when I called him and told him the news. He was happy to rearrange the contract to accommodate the news!
David was a wonderful photographer! It felt like we had known David for years! A very easy-going, likable gentleman. He was everywhere and took amazing pictures but was never in th...
e way or bossy or intrusive- a truly professional vendor with clear experience in the field. He was responsive via email and phone to plan in advance and really took the time to get to know us and the type of day (and photographs) we were looking to create. He was efficient and realistic with the wedding day timeline and helpful in corralling wandering bridal party and family members during portraits to keep everyone on track. He was very early the day of and flexible enough to stay late when we asked to add an hour at the end of the night. His initial images came out excellent, were shared with us very soon after the wedding and the turnaround on receiving the edited ones was perfect (received them once we got home from out honeymoon) about a month after the wedding. Requested adjustments to photos were prompt and gorgeous. Thank you David for perfectly capturing our wedding day!
We cannot say enough great things about David. Planning a wedding from a few states away is never easy, but David made sure that all of our questions and concerns were covered. He ...
took the time to meet my parents and I a month before the wedding to ensure all the details of the day were clear. He was even flexible enough to incorporate the groom and his son arriving by helicopter at our ceremony! The pictures of the day were fantastic. David seemed to be EVERYWHERE, yet he was never in the way. The photos he captured were phenomenal, and he was truly able to capture the essence of what we wanted our wedding to be - laid back and fun! David spent the entire day with us - and by the end, we left not just with a photographer, but someone myself and my family can consider to be a friend! Thank you David for all of your hard work!!

Our pictures are absolutely beautiful! He took so many pictures for us and edited them using many different filters so we had many options for prints. He was very quick at editing the hundreds of photos and we had within just one month after the wedding.
I would definitely recommend dgl photography to anyone. We are extremely happy with our experience!

le to get at least one shot of everyone at our wedding! The day went by so fast and we are able to relive it though the amazing pictures we received. We had a nice preview of all the pictures within a few days after our wedding and the rest of the pictures within four weeks! David was incredibly responsive to our requests the day of the wedding and in the weeks following when we requested some pictures be cropped or formatted differently. We highly recommend this photographer.
David was so easy and fun to work with before, during, and after the wedding! And his pictures are beautiful - he really captured moments that made our wedding special, and that we...
would have otherwise missed.
My wife and I were introduced to David’s work completely by chance, when our original wedding photographer had to relocate to the West coast. I wanted to find a replacement quickly...
, and one of the places I tried was the site Thumtack.com, where I received many photography quotes within my set price range, including David’s. I cannot begin to tell you how incredibly grateful we are that this chance occurred. Immediately, David’s work stood out from anything else I had seen so far. I love photography. I especially love a photojournalistic and more unique style, and all the wedding photographers whose work really took my breath away were so far out of our price range. When my wife and I met with David, we instantly knew he was going to be a perfect fit. His passion for photography is apparent in his outgoing and warm personality, and his glorious portfolio, where his photos tell the story of the day, like a perfect memory captured forever. David was even willing to meet up at our location a few weeks before, to discuss certain shots and ideas for portraits, and he made the most of our limited time both before and after the ceremony. One of the things we really loved about David was how comfortable and ‘at ease’ he put us both. I knew we were in good hands and had nothing to worry about. The day of the wedding went so smoothly, I could not have asked for anything better. We just received the link to all of our wedding day photos, and I must say, I am blown away at how incredibly beautiful they all look! It was like reliving the day all over again, as well as seeing the little details that you inevitable miss. David, you are worth your weight in gold, thank you again for all your hard work on our special day!
David was a wonderful wedding photographer. We hired him after noticing the range of emotions he was able to beautifully capture through the candid shots displayed on his website. ...
Since we wanted the emphasis of our wedding photos to be on candids of us and our guests rather than portraits, he was exactly what we wanted! David was easy to work with, highly professional, and has delivered truly beautiful photos - many of our guests and other friends have commented on what a tremendous job he did. The few portraits we did turned out wonderfully as well, but the candid photos of our ceremony and reception really capture the joy shared by us and our guests, as well as some amazing dance moves from guests of all generations!
With all of the possible wedding photographers out there I was a bit overwhelmed when I began my search. I found David and was pleasantly surprised at how affordable he was conside...
ring the portfolio on his website was even better than some of the other photographers I had found that seemed to want to charge an arm and leg for their service.
We hired David and set up a day to meet. He drove quite a ways to meet with my (then) fiance (now husband) and I at our ceremony/reception sight. We were married outdoors and as soon as we showed him the spot I could instantly see his creative wheels begin to turn. We had a fall wedding and David made us feel like he was as excited to be shooting our wedding as we were to be having it!
One thing I was worried about was not having a second photographer as our budget would not allow for it, however David completely made up for not having a second one. On the day of we were actually a bit ahead of schedule and he drove to go take some shots of the groom and groomsmen getting ready, at a different location, something I did not think we were going to be able to have because we didn't have two shooters. Not only that, but after we got the photos my husband and I were amazed at the variety of shots he was able to get. It almost looked like he was everywhere at once, yet we hardly seemed to notice him at all.
It is very obvious that David is passionate about his work, and sharing our special day with him was an absolute pleasure. He was very professional, and very personable, even helping some am-mature photographer family members out with some camera questions they had.
If you are considering hiring DGLPhotography for your wedding or any other special occasion, do it. You won't be sorry you did.
DGLphotography captured my wedding perfectly. He was so easy to work with and wanted to truly portray us and our style. I could not be happier with my photos and my experience with...
him. A true professional! I highly recommend!
When my wife and I set out to plan our own wedding, I was on photographer duty. And I hunted around a lot looking for a photographer we could afford but who wasn't just about that ...
totally classic and rather boring "wedding" look. We wanted someone who was really going to get "us" and take the kind of photographs that were a combination of candid, elegant, fun, classic and memorable.
When I stumbled across David at DGL Photography and he sent me a quote, we were very happy with the fair price and set up a time to do a Skype interview. This was great because he got to know us and get a sense of the kind of wedding we were planning and we felt more at ease not going in totally blind. If you can't meet in person first, do a Skype chat and get to know your photographer!
We hired a second shooter that he works with which we highly recommend doing because on the wedding day, having two people around to shoot was key. Denise was excellent and throughout our ceremony, and reception, both David and Denise were like stealthy ninjas, never in the way, but capturing the mood and emotion and fun in perfect pictures.
We're in the middle now of picking what we want to print and we'll probably just print all of them since they are so good and order a few large prints as well. He got us a few shots just a couple days after the wedding so we had those right away, and all of the shots, edited about three weeks later. Unlike some photographers who don't give you copies of the shots, David send us a link to all of them, downloadable and also DVDs of the shots.
We are beyond thrilled with the shots they got and would highly recommend DGL Photography to any couple wanting a truly personal, unobtrusive, talented, affordable and great photographer for their wedding.
David was truly amazing as our wedding photographer. From our first phone call, to a Skype session (because we were planning from out of state) to the day of, to getting us our fin...
al photos, he was absolutely wonderful. His photos captured the day perfectly. It poured rain and he was out there running around making sure he still got great shots. When I forgot to arrange a way to get to the ceremony for myself (major bridal fail!) he offered to drive me and said it wasn't the first time that had happened! I forgot that he and his second shooter were there for the entire reception which proves to me that he is truly a great photographer, getting all the shots without getting in the way or even being noticed. He was professional and timely and his photography was excellent. We are thrilled with out photos and can't wait to send them to friends and family, and frame some for our home. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
David was amazing! We had gotten married June 14th and couldn't be happier with our photos. David was flexible in working with us. He was not only friendly and professional, but ma...
de us feel comfortable too, which was very important to us because I am not usually comfortable in front of the camera. I loved how just 3 days after the wedding, we had gotten a preview of our photos to look at as he finished editing the rest. He was quick with editing the photos too! It has not even been 2 weeks since the wedding and we have already gotten all of our photos! All in all, we have nothing but great things to say about David! Definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to have great, high quality photos to remind them of their special day.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with DGLphotography for our wedding photographer. David met and spoke with us several times before our special day, to get to know us and the styles o...
f pictures we were looking for. On our wedding day, David was so easy and fun to work with, keeping us relaxed and catching such special moments. We were thrilled with the more traditional photos, and equally delighted to see all the candid moments David captured for us. We highly recommend David and would love to be able to work with him again for future special events!
i found this photographer online and contacted him for an Aug wedding. He responded immediately. After viewing his web site and seeing such nice photos that not only recorded the e...
vent, but truely captured the emotions, I contacted him. Right away he was easy talk with and very pleasant. He covered eight hours of the wedding day. He did a beautiful job and worked non stop. The photos are a true keepsake. Thank you DGL Photography.
We love our wedding photos from DGL Photography!
From the first meeting we had, I knew David would do a fantastic job photographing our wedding, not just sticking with the trad...
itional portraits but capturing all the special details and moments from the day. He took the time to get to know us and to discuss the moments that were important to us. He was very professional, friendly, and easy to work with. We rented a large outdoor venue (a Girl Scout summer camp), and he amazingly managed to cover the entire area and every aspect of our wedding, as a crew of one!
We are so happy that David was our wedding photographer; his work exceeded our expectations and now we have such beautiful photographs to remember and commemorate the day. Thank you David!
It is truly difficult to find a photographer as high-caliber as David who is willing to be there all day.
The quality of the photos was superb, and he pays close attention to hi...
s lighting! We did not realize how important this would be, but turnaround was fast on seeing the final results.
He met us twice before the big day, once for coffee and another time at the venue (he would have met us more if we wanted.) David was genuinely interested in learning the ins and outs of our ceremony so that he would know where to be. He also took the time to learn who was who so that we would have good pics of all of our favorite people.
We HIGHLY recommend David for your wedding!
If I could give David 6 stars, I would! My husband, being a photographer, is highly critical of photography and he loved David's portfolio. He went above and beyond the expectation...
s of a photographer and took excellent photos, as well. He had some preview images to us the day after the wedding! Absolutely amazing!
Hiring David at DGL Photography was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. His work was beautiful, and I don't know how he managed it as only one photographer...
, but he captured all the important moments of the day, got some great candids, and our posed family photos as well. I never felt that David was intruding on an important moment, and yet, whenever I needed him, he was nearby and available. He kept me apprised of my timeline (which was very tight), and took it in stride when we had to make adjustments, like changing the location for my bridal party photos due to time constraints. He was professional and courteous, and I would recommend him to anyone. Best of all, he was a true bargain. I priced out several photographers charging double (or more!) what I paid, and yet I feel that I have wonderful photos that are comparable in quality to those other photographers. David's work is solid, and the price was great.
I cannot express how happy I am and cannot recommend David more highly. Everyone would tell me how fast my wedding day would go by, and it certainly did - I'm so happy with the pic...
tures I have to look back on my day. My parents and I planned the wedding ourselves and had so much to do and remember. David stayed on top of his part of the big day, without being overbearing or adding any stress to the planning process. I live out of town, so we were only able to meet once before the wedding, and spoke several times on the phone. When we set up a time to call and the one time to meet, it was on time and I didn't feel rushed at all. David spent the entire day with us - from the salon that morning, to later that night with our exit. From all the pictures we have you would think that there were two photographers there with everything he captured. Our flower girl is four years old and he did such a great job with her to get some amazing pictures. When the time came to take family pictures I was stressing out a little with gathering everyone we needed for each picture, but David took care of it and handled everything with ease. He is such a nice person, and does amazing work for a great value. Finding a photographer was the most important part to me - David exceeded my expectations and the pictures we will have forever are invaluable.
