Darrell and Kristin are like family!

We were fortunate enough to know Darrell and Kristin after they photographed our best friend's wedding and we consider ourselves so fortunate to know them even better now and to have been able to use them as our wedding photographer! For people who don't love to be the center of attention, they made the entire experience of being photographed so comfortable! They were a joy to be around, were so quick to get our photos and sneak peaks back to us, and made sure that we got every single shot we hoped for! Our experience was a 11/10 and we will forever be grateful for their professionalism and talent.

Always a smooth, enjoyable process

I met Darrell when he photographed my sister's wedding in October of 2016. We loved his photos and him as a person so much that I had to have him for my wedding as well. Bonus for me, his wife was back in business as his partner in crime and they are a power couple. Side note, she was on maternity leave for my sister's wedding. This dynamic duo made my day so memorable and made family photos extremely smooth (even having to corral a huge Jewish family). They are a joy to be around and were such a great presence to have close on the best day of my life🥰

Professional and attentive

Darrell and his wife were lovely to work with. Our engagement photos were perfect and the day of our wedding they understood everything we wanted out of the day and were right there to capture it without distracting us from our guests. They were very easy to talk to and coordinate with and I would never hesitate to use their services again or recommend them to others.

Perfection

Darrell and Kristin were so lovely to work with! They were prepared and took the time to inquire about our preferences before the big day. That made a huge impact! And it reassured us that we made the right choice in having them photograph our special day!

Great wedding day for the Marsh's

We had a great experience with our son's & daughter-in-laws wedding photographer, Darrell McDavid. He was easy to work with, had great presence around the entire family and found some really cool and fun angles for shots. Darrell's communication to everyone was clear, very kind and patient, even as things changed throughout the day! I would highly recommend Darrell to anyone considering them for their wedding photos!

Best photographers!

Darrell and Kristin are the best photographers! They take amazing engagement photos! They arrive the morning of your wedding and stay with you all day through until the cake is cut! The photos are natural and they do a great job capturing all the details!

Amazing Photographers!!

Hiring Darrell and his wife Kristin was the best decision. Our wedding day went flawlessly and they were to thank. They both were very organized. My groom and I got ready in two separate places and it worked perfectly because Kristin was able to photograph the groomsmen and Darrell the bridesmaids. I felt like they captured every little detail; from the groomsmen Ravens socks to the bridesmaids coffee mugs. After our ceremony, at the church, they had a list of every person that we wanted to be photographed. We were able to take every picture we wanted even though we were on a tight timeline since mass started soon after our wedding. At the reception, Darrell not only took pictures but gave suggestions on how to easily cut our cake and even kicked out some wedding crashers. My groom and I loved them and can’t wait to see our wedding photos!!

Picking Darrell and Kristen as our photographers was the easiest and best decision we made in the planning process. Within 10 minutes of talking to them during our consultation we had made up our minds. They are both extremely friendly and professional, and have a lot of knowledge and experience. They gave us everything we wanted and offered plenty of helpful suggestions along the way.

We have heard so many horror stories of overpriced photos that didn't look great, long and unorganized photo sessions, couples that didn't get rights to their photos, and photographers that took a very long time to deliver the product. We didn't have any of these issues with Darrell and Kristen. Every minute working with them was a great pleasure, from our first meeting to the very last photo. The value of everything we got was incredible. Included in the price was every photo taken with the rights, an album of 80-90 photos created by them, an engagement photo session, an online gallery for our guests to view, and no time limit. And we had them all day, which was incredible.

It might seem unnecessary to some, but we were very grateful to have both Darrell and Kristen all day. Darrell captured photos of me and my bridesmaids getting ready while Kristen snapped my husband and his groomsmen. They took a lot of great pictures and never seemed rushed or pressured with both of them present. Every moment of our special day was captured on film. Unfortunately we had to move our wedding inside due to rain, but there were a few times when the weather cooperated and we had some glimmers of sunshine. Darrell was on top of it and quickly gathered my husband and I to go take some photos outside, while Kristen stayed to take pictures of all our guests.

Not a moment of our special day was missed and there were no bad photos. Darrell and Kristen are extremely professional and passionate about what they do. We are thrilled with the finished product and are very glad that we chose them.

As an officiant, I first met Darrell Mcdavid at a wedding open house and instantly noticed his professionalism, friendliness and sense of family. Since then, I have so enjoyed working with Darrell. He has the talent and skill to wrangle a wedding party and get the photos the couple wants, and still make it fun for everyone! Throughout a wedding, he captures the moments couples plan to have photographed---but also so much more. Family is very important to Darrell and his wife and work partner, Kristin. Their family spirit pervades all the service they bring. The result is keepsake photos and overall a most happy experience!

Darrell and Kristin traveled to NC to photograph a wedding I was officiating. The couple met and fell in love in the DC area so it made sense for them to hire a photographer from that area that they knew. Darrell was at the rehearsal too which is impressive! I loved working with them. They are easy-going and make posing for photographs fun. I am looking forward to seeing their photos of Mandy and Julian's wedding at Barclay Villa!

During the 2016 wedding season I had the pleasure meeting Darrell during a wedding shoot we both were working. The photographer and videographer relationship can be tricky with each professional trying to get the best shot for the client. Working with Darrell was an entirely stress free and smooth process. So much so that when I saw him during another wedding a few weeks later I was so overjoyed. Darrell is unobtrusive but has mastered the art of capturing great shots. He truly understands how to work a wedding. His work is magnificent and if you've seen his photos, you already know that. If you are looking for a photographer that will capture amazing shots without being a distraction to you or your guest, book with Darrell Mcdavid Photography!
