David photographed my Friday night welcome reception at the Hampshire House as well as my wedding reception at the Fairmont Copley Plaza. He was early, and had a ton of suggestions for where to take all of our pictures. He was extremely thorough and quick in getting through hundreds of family portraits, room shots, and getting ready pictures. He even posted a quick sampling of our photos less than 48 hours later, and they were absolutely beautiful. The lighting in the shots and the angles that he captured were beyond our expectations. He also worked with us on the package to make sure that we got everything we wanted at the price we were comfortable with. I highly recommend his services.

Even though he works in the town where I live, I didn't find David Barnes: my father did! I enlisted my pro-quality photographer dad to help me find a good photographer at a reasonable price for my wedding. He did the legwork online, and David was at the top of the short list he sent me. When my then-fiancé and I met David, his laid-back but highly professional demeanor was very encouraging. So was his beautiful work. David was a delight to work with. He didn't try to push us to buy a more expensive package than we wanted. He was excellent at communicating with us. and helped this wedding newbie (I'd never even been a bridesmaid) to figure out what she wanted. The day of the wedding, he and his assistant kept us moving quickly through photos with a minimum of fuss. They found beautiful spots for couple portraits both outdoors and in. During the ceremony and reception, they were unobtrusive, but managed to take a lot of wonderful pictures. The pictures were available for viewing more quickly than I'd expected, and when I was able to go through all of them, I LOVED them! David captured every meaningful moment, and I felt like I was reliving the day without any of the stress or adrenaline that made it something of a blur while it was going on.

I'd also like to add that my wedding ceremony was pretty blatantly Pagan, and that David didn't so much as bat an eyelash at this when I was describing it, or when it was going on. Considering I've known people whose wedding vendors have canceled when they found out the wedding was going to be Pagan, I think it's good to note this for any other Pagan types looking for a photographer!

I am SO impressed by David's work. My new husband and I are raving about our pictures to friends and family. He is extremely detail-oriented and the work he does before, during, and after the wedding really shows in the photos! I couldn't be happier with our pictures. We have everything from formal pictures with family to awesome dancing pics to fun poses with the wedding party. We had a blast and I'm so glad we had David to capture it! You can't go wrong, just book him :)
