As a professional photographer, I've shot everything from United Airlines flights and events to getting hired by the Obama Foundation to be President Obama's personal photographer, featured on his Instagram account and in People Magazine online. I am also the South Bay photographer for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
I honed my skills over the past two decades traveling to over 25 countries with my camera, shooting in a vast variety of settings, from street photography in India to monasteries in China and events all over Europe and the US.
My specialty is photography that captures candid, organic moments – the kinds of photos that bring back powerful memories for years to come. I’m deeply passionate about stories and emotions, and love helping folks remember special moments in their lives with as much color, depth, and feeling as possible.
Whether you're getting married or looking for coverage of a corporate event, I'd be delighted to provide you with the kinds of photos that will help you remember the magic of your special event for years to come. Feel free to get in touch to discuss your needs, and let's have some FUN!

There is not enough time and words to describe David. The fact that he could do a last minute cancellation for a wedding in 6 days is unbelievable but his personality, professionalism and skills are bar none. So many commented on how he was not only nice and calming but his recognizable knowledge of camera, angles and setting up the right pose. The bride and groom were able to see a few pics and they were impressed. Thank you David for being there when we needed you to capture this celebration of love. Btw he even does balloon art! I would hire David over and over again.

We couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience we had with David. From the very first consultation to the final delivery of our wedding photos, everything was flawless. David made us feel so comfortable and at ease, and his creativity really shines through in every shot. He captured every special moment with such detail and emotion. The photos are absolutely stunning, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. We are so grateful for the incredible memories David helped create and preserve for us. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely wonderful photographer!

David is the perfect photographer! From the first meeting, it's very clear how passionate he is about photography. That passion really showed throughout our big day and in the final pictures. David arrived early to our venue and scoped out beautiful spots for our pictures. He's also very charismatic and blended right in with our guests, bringing a lot of positive energy and helping make the photos more natural. Highly recommend booking him if you get the chance. Thanks again David!

David was an absolute pleasure to work with! I've never worked with a photographer who is as professional yet as fun to work with. He truly seems to enjoy his line of work, which was so refreshing to be around. His photos were breathtaking and so clear, and his editing skills were top tier. His turnaround time on editing was impressive. If he'll have us, we hope to have David back for every conference we host from now on.

David was the photographer for our wedding in June, and we can't imagine our experience without him! His attitude, enthusiasm, and eye for candid moments perfectly captured our vibe and event. Friends and family asked about him after the event and took his card during - he was impressive to everyone there! He was so quick with the returned catalog of pictures and even included a fun website for our guests to look back on all the action. We definitely gained a friend throughout the process and would recommend him and his services to anybody.
