David is a Documentary Wedding Photographer providing coverage throughout the U.S. and Mexico.
“Weddings and photography are a perfect fit for me. I love weddings! I am a softy at heart, so all of the joy and emotion of the day is a treat to witness. I really enjoy getting to know our clients and becoming friends from the time we meet until long after the wedding. It makes such a difference when I show up to document the day. They are like ‘David’s here!’ instead of ‘Oh, the photographer is here…’ It has been so incredibly rewarding on many different levels. I have had the opportunity to meet some amazing people, make great friends and provide a service that preserves their legacy. I love the idea of the wedding album. It truly becomes your first family heirloom. I shoot with the story in mind, so when it comes time to collaborate and create a timeless wedding album, our task is much easier.”
“If I could pick one word to describe my photography, it would be Unobtrusive. The wonderful thing about weddings is that they direct themselves, with no need of direction from the photographer.”
David’s approach to a wedding is that of a storyteller. He acts as an historian that is there to record the event naturally and react to moments rather than create moments. “Weddings happen themselves. Every wedding I document is unique, which enables me to observe and react to the people and moments in front of my lens. I do not want to turn the day into a photo shoot. There are many wonderfully talented portrait wedding photographers out there that provide this service. I want to be as unobtrusive as I can. I feel that if I am to inject myself into a situation or stop the action that I would be creating what I think should be rather than what it really is. I am in the business of storytelling, with the goal of capturing my clients’ stories as honestly and thoughtfully as I can.”
Aside from wedding photography, I love photographing people. Life is really what I strive to capture in my images. Each person, couple or family has uniqueness, traits and characteristics that are apparent once you get to know them. I enjoy being around people with my camera so I can continue to learn about them and capture them as they truly are.
“Along with my wife Bridget, our number one goal is to preserve legacies with care and attention to detail. Nothing is more satisfying than when our clients receive their Wedding Album and relive the day. The Wedding Album enables them to share this event with everyone for generations to come.”
I give thanks to Bridget for giving me the push and making my passion of photography, a reality. This truly is a dream job for me. Bridget and our children (Damon, Christian, Brayden, Bryleigh and Chyler) keep me motivated to do my best. Ultimately Bridget and I give our thanks to God for his amazing Grace. For without it we would not be where we are.
