He came and did our wedding photos and he was AMAZING!! I am extremely awkward and uncomfortable taking photos but I knew it was important to get these taken. We was so comfortable to be around despite having never met him! He was so amazing and he is especially good with kids! I have a two year old and five year old that are so hyper and can’t seem to sit still and he still managed to get amazing pictures and never once became impatient of frustrated. He made it on time, AND he made very good use of the time he had as well. We had an EXTREMELY quick turn around for the receipt of our photos as well. Overall this was the best experience I could have asked for. Very professional, patient, amazing pictures, and comfortable to Be around. Everyone at our wedding loved him! We are so thankful to him! Thank you again!!!

Details: Wedding • 25 - 49 guests • Indoors • Physical proofs or prints • Album or photo book

Our entire family from different states met in VA Beach for a week so we hired David to take family pictures on the beach. David was very responsive, reasonable in price and was wonderful to work with. He's a really nice guy. We ended up with some beautiful, memorable pictures, even though the conditions weren't the best. We did one big group picture (14 of us) in several poses, along with other pictures broken down by family, kids, grandkids, great grandkids, etc. He did a great job with the poses. I would choose David again and recommend him for any photography needs.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Physical proofs and prints • My home, venue, etc.

David was phenomenal. He was very punctual, and professional, but also just very real!!! He truly demonstrated a love for his job and care for customers. We chat for the first 30 minutes leading up to my fiancés arrival (I hired David to capture photos of my fiancé and I upon him coming homing from deployment), and it was just really cool and nice! He allowed us to have our own moment together initially without overstepping any boundaries, and got some gorgeous shots of us after we were ready to move things along. The photos are unique and turned out very nice!! If you want someone who’s creative with whatever they’re given, David is for you!

Details: Couples portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Office • Physical proofs and prints • My home, venue, etc.
