The Best of the Best!

So happy we had the privilege of working with Dave and Sandy for our wedding. They made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and were so fun to be around.

Not only do they have great personalities, but their quality of work is like no other. We are so happy we selected them to photograph our wedding. The pictures turned out absolutely perfect and really allowed us to relive the entire day.

The turnaround timing was so impressive, and we received our photos about a month after.

We unfortunately had to change our wedding location & date due to COVID, and they were extremely accommodating. They even met us at our new venue to familiarize themselves with the location so they'd be well prepared day of.

My husband and I could not be happier that we selected Dave and Sandy to document our special day! Look no further with Dave Richards Photography- you will not regret it! We can't wait to work with them in the future.

Amazing!!! Highly recommend!!!

This review is about a year and a half overdue! Dave and his wife are an amazing team! My husband and I couldn’t have imagined a better photographer duo to work with. When we first met them, they worked with our price range to provide us with a custom package that fit what we were looking for. On the wedding day, even though we didn’t do an engagement shoot, everything went perfectly! We felt so comfortable with them. The photos turned out wonderful and couldn’t have been more beautiful! We were lucky to have such amazing photographs to remember our day by. To this day, we are still in awe of their talent. Please choose them for your wedding, you won’t go wrong!

Awesome, professional, organized husband & wife team

Our wedding was on 11/30/18. I found Dave, believe it or not, on Instagram searching for photographers who have shot at my venue. Dave and Sandy are an awesome team who work very well together and are also really easy to work with! We were concerned because we didn't have a lot of time to work with before sunset, but they worked closely with us to create a timeline that met all our must-have pictures as well as built in some buffer time. We ended up being ahead of schedule because they are so organized. They worked exceptionally well with the rest of our vendors and made the night stress-free. Dave even accommodated my request to get a few teaser photos soon after the wedding in order to mail out Holiday cards! We would definitely recommend them for any photography needs.

Dave and his wife are an amazing team that I found through because he did my sister's wedding in Malibu and I requested if he would travel to Northern California from SoCal just to have him! Not only could he work with the wild wind at our wedding and handle our lively groomsmen but has already sent me a teaser photo that makes me step back and look at the photo and really appreciate how beautiful everything turned out. If you want romantic photos with soft lighting and confidence in the outcome- book Dave asap!

I had my wedding at Calamigos Ranch on 3/26/2017. Dave was our photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding and he was one of the best choices we made (his assistant kept him on top of it since she was his wife, Sandy - she's awesome too!). Dave is super professional and knows how to get his shots. He did our engagement shoot in PV and we loved it. He is patient, kind and personable. He made us feel comfortable and on wedding day, put me (bridezilla) at ease. He knew how to get the first look and organized all the shots according to my general outline. I would not hesitate to recommend him. I am a Type-A control freak litigator/bridezilla and LOVED working with Dave and his wife. They really took care of us and family and friends commented how friendly and professional they were.

Thank you Dave and Sandy!

My now husband is a photographer himself, and wanted to have confidence that the person who would capture our wedding would have both skill and passion for their craft! Dave was the perfect fit for us! He was easy to work with, responsive to questions, and gave us amazing pictures for both our engagement session and our wedding! Additionally, he knows how to organize people! Getting pictures of family and a wedding party can be like herding cats, and Dave was incredibly efficient, patient, and speedy! I would highly recommend him!!
