If I could, I would give Mr. David 1000 stars. He is worth it. This was my first time ever hiring and using a photographer. Mr. David eased every fear I had. His responsiveness and professionalism are beyond top tier. The quality of his work...spectacular. The Lord truly has blessed him with a gift, and I am glad he used his gift to capture my wedding day. Thank you Mr. David.

David was very responsive in his communication. We unfortunately needed to cancel a little last minute, and he was very professional about it with a small cancellation fee to be used for a future credit. I will definitely use him for any future events.

Wonderful photographer and amazing spirit. We showed up 30 minutes late to our own wedding and he was still kind and amazing to work with.

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!

Reed M.May 2023

David did a great job with our family pictures - especially considering our young kids were not the most cooperative. He did a great job keeping up with us playing & running all through the park, and captured some great candid and family pictures. Very easy to work with and a pleasant experience, quick turnaround on the images, and the picture quality was really great!

Krystle R.Mar 2023

David was absolutely incredible!! He made our day so magical! From our initial conversation I knew he was going to be perfect for our wedding! You won’t be disappointed if you go this route!!! He captured every special moment that we will never forget!

D was very patient with my two dogs during the photo shoot. He also did a very good job at directing the photo shoot. The pictures are lovely.

Deborah B.Jun 2022

David was amazing! If I could have tagged all five words I would have! I was very happy with the quality of the photos and he chose various backgrounds around my house that worked beautifully! He was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend him and I will use him again when I need more photos. Thanks, David!
