Dave did a great job with our photo's. We were very happy and our book came out just beautiful. We are very happy with our pictures and our preserved memory of our wedding.

Dave was amazing to work with and did an amazing job on my husband's and my wedding pictures! He was super accommodating, professional and made the whole process a fun memory! We got our pictures back super fast, too! I would highly recommend using his for your wedding.

Dave is very friendly and fit in with the crowd at our wedding..He captured everything and more that we wanted to capture, and he was very affordable!! He was very easy to work with, and very patient with me when I was picking what I wanted in my albums!!

Dave is the king of photography here in Austin, TX. He made sure every request was met and was extremely professional every step of the way. He's even been very helpful and patient with our procrastination in making edits to the physical wedding album. All his shots look so great that it's hard to decide which ones to put in the album! Everything has been prompt and he's a blast to work with. We had lots of fun having him at the wedding and working with him. He also does all kinds of photography in case you need anything else in your life to look better too.

Dave is an amazing photographer that really knows how to capture the moment. He is extremely gifted in this aspect. The photos he took were just absolutely beautiful. And talk about on time... he got to the church before I did and even helped me hang up my dress! I couldn't be happier with the results.

Dave is an excellent photographer. He is relaxed and unobtrusive, yet very attentive to your requests. He takes a lot of photos so you have a lot to choose from and he really captures all of the action and emotion of the day. I highly recommend him.

Dave is one of the BEST decisions that I made for our wedding! I’m not terribly comfortable posing for millions of pics but Dave is fantastic at getting you relaxed and making it all so much fun! And the pictures themselves are STUNNING. He captures all the typical moments perfectly– first dance, posing with wedding party - as well as lots of really great candid photos. He is great at feeling out your personality and really making the pictures unique to you. Thanks SO much Dave!

I first saw Dave when I attended a friend's wedding at Vintage Villas in Austin. Normally I wouldn't pay attention to small wedding details, but I was newly engaged, so I was checking out everything...from the linens, to the cake stand, to the event staff. During the ceremony, I paid close attention to the photographer. He wasn't standing in the middle of the aisle getting straight-on pictures of the bride and groom exchanging their vows...he was laying on the ground at the base of the steps getting a unique shot of the back of the bride's gown (but he was staying out of the way, ofcourse)...then he was back behind the gazebo taking a photo through a group of bushes and flowers to get a shot of the bride and groom's face (an angle that no one else could see)...then at the reception, he was standing on top of a chair getting an aerial shot of the bride and groom's first dance....and as the guys SLID IN to the reception hall (like they were sliding in to home plate) for the garter toss, Dave was laying on the ground right next to them taking the most hilarious action shots I've ever seen. I was impressed.....and that wasn't even my wedding.

I immediately asked my friend who her photographer was and I looked him up after her wedding. I had interviewed other photographers but I wasn't impressed with their "normal portfolios". I didn't want my wedding pictures to look like everyone elses. Dave and I met at a coffeeshop and we talked about my style and my expectations, and I didn't even feel like I had to continue talking...he finished my sentances with my exact thoughts, and from then on, my wedding photography was one less thing to worry about. We kept in contact up until the wedding day. He showed up on time (I think he was even early) and immediately began taking pictures.

When we returned from our honeymoon, he had posted a majority of the pictures online for me to see....they were edited, and BEAUTIFUL! He had also made a slideshow and put it to music and he sent me the link so I could share it with my family. A few days later, he had them ALL edited and online for me to see....and then a few short days later, a disk arrived in my mailbox with all of the edited photos. I am so happy with the photos and with the job he did. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Dave is absolutely amazing! Not only is his photography wonderful, his personality makes him a pleasure to work with. His assistant and he were both professional and personable. He made sure to capture every moment with perfect clarity and realism. Dave was extremely flexible and worked hard to give us exactly what we wanted for our wedding. He even came out to the wedding rehearsal to see the sites; he was instrumental in pointing out a photography flaw in our backup plan and we were able to fix it. I think that hiring Dave was the smartest thing we did for our wedding. You get WAY more then you pay for. He was part of what made our wedding perfect...and unforgettable, his photography captured the happiest day of our lives flawlessly.

Dave was impressively discreet during our wedding ceremony; I was also quite surprised to see how many angles he actually got while we were being married! My wife and I were very happy with Dave's work and would recommend him to others.

Dave Mclaughlin photographed our wedding in September of 2009, and my husband and I could not be happier with his work! Not only did Dave do an incredible job of capturing the beauty and excitement of our wedding, but he was very reliable, easy to get a hold of, and very flexible. We received digital copies of our images well within 2 weeks after our wedding, and he even created a fantastic slideshow with music that we could share with our friends just a few days after the wedding. Plus, Dave even brought Starbucks coffee to me and my wedding party on our wedding day - it doesn't get better than that! :-) Dave provides high-quality work for a reasonable price, and I recommend him to anyone in the Austin area!

Dave is a pleasure to work with. He is friendly and outgoing and more importantly his pictures are beautiful. He was able to capture the spirit of our wedding so that we can have a physical reminder for years to come.

Amazing pictures!

Dave was so great! I loved having him at our wedding. He was fun and friendly and blended in well, even in the bride's getting ready room. He took SO many pictures and the colors all really popped. Everyone has been surprised by how good the pictures are, since they didn't really even know they were being taken. My husband told me the other night that Dave's photos were worth every penny which is amazing since it took me about to months to finally convince him that we needed a professional. He wanted just get a friend to do it! Gah!
Dave even made a really cool slideshow of our pics. He had all that and our pics posted before we got back from our one week honeymoon!

I think I lucked out and got a better deal than with most photographers.

I would describe Dave as an exceptional photographer. From the moment I called him he was friendly, easy to work with and professional. He was even kind enough to give us the prices from last year because I contacted him early enough, even though his prices had since increased. On the day of the ceremony Dave arrived early and was also very kind; however, none of this other information really matters if the pictures aren't professionally done. Dave exceeded our expectations, taking right around 2000 photos for a 7 hour session from the ceremony to the reception. He did not stop working the entire time, except when he kindly asked if he could have some food. I simply expected him to grab some, but asking shows that he had the expectation to work the entire time. The photos we recieved were exceptional, and my fiancee has dozens of favorites. She is unable to choose a single "favorite" because there are so many good ones. We are also photographers on the side, and we know what good work looks like; Dave's work is not just good, it is outstanding. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting professional photos, with a kind hearted and hard working photographer. In addition, his prices are the most reasonable we have found in the area.

Dave was really great to work with. He understood the style of pictures that we wanted and didn't pressure us into anything that didn't fit our needs. The pictures came out awesome; we gotten so many compliments and many people have said that they are the most beautiful wedding pictures they've ever seen. We also got our pictures back from him incredibly quick, within two weeks of the wedding day.
