About

First and foremost, I would like to congratulate you on your engagement! As you transition to this new chapter in your lives together, I would love to be there to capture each moment as it comes. Choosing a wedding photographer can be an overwhelming experience, but it doesn't have to be. I think that you will find me to be easy going, relaxed and attentive. I'm available to answer any questions you may have and would love to get together over a cup of coffee to talk about your big day.

This is My Philosophy

I Believe...

In the moments between the shots. It is not the "look at the camera and say cheese" photos that you will fall in love with, but the images of the secret glances you exchanged when you didn't know you were being photographed. It is not the candid shot of you talking to your friends that makes it special, but your smiling groom in the background as he watches you adoringly. These are the moments that I look for and the photographs that in twenty years, you will look back on and remember what made you fall in love. These are the moments that I look to immortalize.

I Believe...

In the tangible prints. We are living in a digital age that will be a lost generation when the last hard drive fails, but not if you immortalize that generation in tangible images. I believe in the smell of freshly bound leather albums and clean spots on dusty coffee tables when your kids and grandkids peruse the events of grandma and grandpa's wedding day, wondering how grandma's hair was ever that black. I believe in photos that you will hang on the walls and add to over the years, creating a timeline of the legacy that you will leave, from the moment you met, to your first born's first birthday, to his college graduation and your 65th wedding anniversary. I believe in the tangible prints that cannot be lost when your computer fails.

I Believe...

In people. The reason I do what I do is not for the money, although it is necessary to support the continuation of my passion. It is about the people, the relationships and friendships, the memories and the moments. It is about taking those happy moments and those people and freezing them in time so that when life comes at you and things get hard, you have those images to remember why you chose these people to be in your life and in the foxhole with you. Your wedding day will fade, your memory will fail but those memories that I have captured will be a lasting reminder of the moments when you were happiest and of the people that shared in those moments with you. That is why I do what I do.

We are now booking for the 2015 and 2016 wedding seasons. Give us a call at 757-708-5794 or visit me here and submit your information and I will get back to you within 24 hours. Happy wedding planning!

Chad is a fantastic photographer, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed having Chad capture our journey, from engagement pictures, a bridal shoot, and our wedding. We now have so many wonderful pictures to look back on and show friends and family. Chad is very easy to work with and has flexible thinking. My husband and I were a little reluctant when it came to our engagement photos, as we are not the couple who takes a lot of photos. The result was amazing we loved every minute of it and we had so much fun. For my bridal shoot my pick of a location was a little bit of a bust, but Chad was quick to think of another location. Our wedding was everything we could imagine and Chad and Emily were able to capture every emotion at our wedding. Overall a wonderful photographer and a life long client.

Chad was such a pleasure to work with and his photos were absolutely perfect! He really took the time to get to know me and my husband and captured the essence of our relationship both at our engagement session and at our wedding. Chad has an amazing eye and I can't wait to work with him again as he shoots our family photos this upcoming summer. I am so greatful for the kindness and patience he and his wife gave our family during this joyous occasion. Do not pass on his services, I promise he will not dissapoint!

I highly recommend Chad Davis to anyone looking for a photographer. You will be so pleased with his work! My husband and I were looking to take pictures just because for the holiday. He knew just the place, and his selection provided wonderful opportunities for great shots.

Words cannot describe how happy I am with my wedding photos. Chad was awesome from beginning to end, an absolute professional on a very hot, humid day in Smithfield, Virginia. My husband and I asked Chad at our first meeting for him to show us HIS favorite photos... they were amazing, full of color and just exactly the look that we wanted. I gave him a brief list of photos that I wanted, but then, we let him do his own thing... remember ladies, if you really want an artist and great shots, you have to give up control to the artist and give him the freedom he needs to capture you. Chad is truly an artist.
Chad also worked with us on his fee, as we did not need the whole time a normal wedding would take. Now after seeing the photos, I feel like we may have robbed him. :) The value is incredible! Use Chad Davis, you will not be sorry. --Lisa Doud

Chad Davis is an amazing photographer and a great person. He was professional, easy going, trustworthy and has an amazing eye for the beauty of moments. He captured emotions and events from an artistic perspective that made every photo and memory sensationally beautiful. When he showed me my photo, my immediate reaction was "That's not me!" The photo and I looked beautiful in a timeless way. If you want somebody who will make you look gorgeous, highlight the beauty in you and all around you, Chad Davis Photography is the company for you!! I highly recommend him. He was professional, on time, stayed to the bitter end (and then some). I cannot say enough about what an amazing experience I had with him and how beautiful my photographs look.

I am the mother of the bride and just want to say that Chad is awesome. We unfortunately had already booked our main photographer when my daughter found Chad, but we added him as a second one for the wedding. My daughter had her hair & make up trial from Best Face Forward and decided to call Chad up at the last minute to see if he could come do a Bridal photo session and he came right on over. Thank you so much Chad for everything, we will be using you in the near future for some family sessions.

You will not regret choosing Davis Family Photography! He took our wedding pics on the beach in Florida last week, and we were both completely blown away by the quality of photos, how fast he got them edited and back to us, and how easy he was to work with!! I can't wait to frame and hang his work on our walls when we get back home from our honeymoon! I cannot stress enough how amazing our pictures turned out! Thank you for capturing such great moments on our big day!!

Davis family photography did a wonderful job with our engagement photos! We loved them so much that we came back for boudoir as well as our wedding photography! All of the pictures came out absolutely stunning and they spent lots of time getting unique and candid shots! We couldn't be happier with our photos and we cant wait to use them again for maternity pictures!!!!

I enjoyed working with Chad Davis Photography! He was patient as the bride was getting hair and makeup done and was there to capture the moment for the bride. He took beautiful photos in the hotel room and captured the most gorgeous photo of the bride before she headed off to her ceremony. I look forward to working with Chad Davis Photography in the future!
