When I began searching for photographers and found David, I thought I had simply stumbled upon someone who fit the description of what I was looking for. What I did not realize at the time, but soon came to realize, was that “divine intervention” caused David and I to work together. It was purposed and willed that our paths would cross at some point in life. It is no coincidence that I currently attend the university that David graduated from, and that I am majoring in exactly what he received his degree in. But aside from that, working with David was such a great experience overall. He was timely, professional, responsive, patient, and genuinely looked forward to this photo shoot just as much as I did! It is important that a photographer exudes a certain amount of energy so that you feel comfortable and look forward to your photo shoot even more. David surpassed that. All I had to do was just show up and David took things from there. He assisted me in certain poses to make, he arranged all of my props for me, he brought his creativity to the set, and I was left very satisfied with his services. If I had to go back in time and choose a photographer for my 21st birthday, I would choose David again!

David is a an enthusiast professional who really knows his craft! He made the photoshoot comfortable and fun, which led to some really great family portraits. He was also quick to respond to questions and edited our photos within a couple of days. I was very impressed by David and absolutely recommend using him for your photography needs!

As circumstances would have it, my twin daughters graduated from college on the same day, same time, different states. I hired David to photograph the graduation that I was not able to attend. Fortunately, my parents and uncle were on graduation duty. And, so was David. From a mother’s standpoint, he made an unbearable situation a little more bearable. David was actually sending me video and pictures of my daughter graduating at the same time I was at her twin’s graduation. I felt like I was sitting at both events and didn’t miss out on either ceremony.
The pictures I received were exactly what I asked for and of high quality.
I also want to mention, David traveled from his home state to take pictures of the graduation in Ohio and I live in Maryland. He stayed in constant contact with me, confirmed his arrival and departure. He is the consummate professional and I highly recommend him.

We hired David (HC Visuals) to photograph our son's wedding at the Skokie Courthouse and we couldn't be happier. His work is on par with other reputable photographers but lucky for us, he was willing to take our job, which took about two hours and thus, cost much less than a full day of work. We are so grateful that we hired David to photograph the civil service and take other photos of our group, before and after the service. David is a great communicator and replied to my questions promptly. He arrived early and figured out the best spots to take photos in and around the courthouse.
While we waited to be called in for the ceremony, David made the most of the idle time by taking candid and posed photos of our group. When we went into the court room, we were told to sit down but David was allowed to stand up front and take photos of the bride and groom from a perspective that we could not see from our seats.
He was very thorough and even took some photos of the judge speaking to the bride and groom and of the couple holding their marriage license.
After the ceremony, David took photos of our group outside of the courthouse and of the bride and groom descending the stairs. We never felt rushed and he stayed until we got all of the photos we wanted. David's fee included editing all of our photos (175). He sent the photos to us via Google Drive.
Please note that the attached photos are copied from the originals that David sent me. If the photos are not high quality, this not a reflection of David's work. Lastly, if you need a photographer, look no further, David is wonderful. You won't be disappointed!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
They will chose all the parameters to suit their comfort level. Also would suggest them to check my work, either, what I’ve posted here or on my Instagram.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
While in undergrad, I shadowed a few photographers learning the ins and outs to better prepare me to be a better photographer. And a lot of book magazines and YouTube is so needed and helps tremendously as well.
