I can’t even put into words how impressive his talent is! David literally gave us pictures that looked like they belonged in bridal magazines! I have never had so many pictures taken where I loved every last one of them! We received so many compliments on our wedding photos, I am obsessed with the images we received! David has amazing photography skills and his photos clearly speak of that on their own, and business wise, he is on top of it! He is very professional, and is great at instructing individuals during photography. He showed up early and got ready to go right away. He kept the atmosphere fun and read the vibes of the people he was working with very well! His jokes were a great added bonus for us all. I asked for first looks with my two sons and he captured the moment better than I could have imagined. He went above and beyond what we anticipated and we could not be more pleased with our wedding photos! His pricing is incredibly fair, especially considering we received hundreds of photos and we got them back way faster than we would have thought! We are so thankful we trusted David with Stop and Stare Photography! Highly recommend, as we will be returning clients for all our future photographer needs!!

My husband and I had the extreme pleasure of working with a professional photographer for the first time. David Taylor is not only polite, but his photography eye 👁‍🗨 caught some amazing pictures of our wedding. He kept within our schedule asked and moved in every direction possible to capture every moment of the 3 hours we hired him for. He saw things that were funny and touching and compiled a beautiful collaboration of pictures that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. My husband and I can't say Thank you enough to David for traveling so very far to get to us and provide us with magical moments caught in time. We will be hiring David again and highly suggest you hire him as well.

David made our day so easy and memorable. He was so professional from the beginning and made me feel so at ease. I am a very awkward person and really uncomfortable with cameras, but somehow he made it feel completely comfortable. My favorite shots are his candid photos. I can’t give more than 5 stars, but he definitely deserves at least 10!
