About

Fueled only by the fine brew of Peet's coffee, I'm game to go wherever my couples can dream up, be it the woods, desert, or jumping in the pool. I've always been a creative person and thrived on the creative process, and finally found my favorite creative outlet in photography after a career as a graphic designer.

I started shooting weddings in 2011 in my last year of college. I majored in Photojournalism and that's 50% of my approach to weddings. The other 50% are very hands on. I like to direct, but also to watch. I like being a fly on the wall documenting the moments that you'll most likely forget even happened. On the other hand, I like interjecting myself into your wedding day, and being a part it. I also thoroughly enjoy getting up close and personal with you and significant other. But don't worry, I'll ease you into it with a cup of coffee before hand.

I truly enjoy my time with every single one of my clients and go out of my way to build a relationship prior to shooting your wedding. I believe that feeling comfortable with your photographer is key to amazing photographs and natural moments not ruined by "feeling awkward."

A little about me. I'm a happily married gentleman and I correctly believe I have the best wife in the world. I have no pets, but my dream duo would be a French Bulldog and a Pitbull named Barry and Phil, respectively. I'm what todays society would describe as a "nerd" because my love for things like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, video games, cartoons and comics runs deep. I love what I do, and I am stoked to get to know you. Fill out the form in the Contact page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I was worried that finding our wedding photographer would be a really stressful process. Fortunately, I was so wrong, because my husband found Blacktie Photography. From our first meeting with David, we knew he was our photographer. His work was beautiful, he was very professional, but also really fun. He shot our engagement photos and our wedding and we were not disappointed. David goes above and beyond to get creative and interesting shots (I truly wish I had a photo of him on the back of a bicycle built for two taking our engagement photos on Venice Beach). Our wedding pictures were absolutely gorgeous. I would recommend Blacktie Photography to anyone!

Everything from A to Z was amazing about David. I booked David based on all the glowing reviews here and I'm happy to be adding to them! Our pictures were stunning. David captures moments that I didn't even realize happened during our wedding day! I could not imagine our wedding day without him now, and I am so glad for wedding wire that we found him. He essentially became part of our wedding. By the end of the night he knew everyones names and was basically partying with us while taking photos.

Our photos are absolutely breathtaking, my husband and I are in love! When meeting with David for the first time, he gave us tips regarding vendors and our wedding day that made everything just go so much smoother. We got married at the Calamigos Equestrian in Burbank and after seeing our photos, they asked if they can feature us in their marketing materials, so cool! I could not recommend him more.

When we first started searching for photographers a friend of mine gave me amazing advice that I think everyone will benefit from. She said, when looking for a wedding photographer, find someone who matches your personality. Because at the end of the day, this photographer will be with you guys the whole day, from the getting ready to the dancing at the end.

With that advice in mind, I started my search, and after meeting David, everything just clicked. My husband and I both loved his personality and we connected on several different levels. Not to mention that we already loved his worth coming into the meeting, our personality match was the icing on the cake.
During the wedding day David really helped take all the stress away. He was fun and energetic and that personality really reflected on our wedding photos. I honestly wish I can give him 10 stars, it was such an amazing day and he played such a big part of our wedding!
