My wife and I got married two months ago in Ben Lomond and we still find ourselves talking about how outstanding of a job Dave did and continually receive compliments from our guests. We chatted with Dave before our wedding and he described his focus on exactly what we wanted: capturing “in-between” moments, so to speak, like members of our respective families meeting for the first time, or friends from different spheres of our lives dancing together. My wife and I recently recalled several moments at our wedding where we appreciated a special moment we were having with a guest and thought to ourselves, “you know, it would be really cool to have a photo of what’s happening right now.” Every single time, right after having this thought, we heard a click followed by a flash. He must be a wizard or something. We recently got our finished photos and we were delighted to see countless other priceless snapshots we had no idea happened until now. While these in-between moments were obviously incredibly important for us, Dave is top notch when it comes to posed group photos as well. He’s incredibly skilled at wrangling the necessary people into photos and being considerate of time, and if we ever felt like one segment of photos was going too long, we just told him so and we’d move on. Dave is an incredible talent and just an incredible guy too. We’ll never forget him and can't recommend him highly enough.

Bottom line: Dave is a fantastic photographer and wonderful to work with throughout the whole process!

Detail: We found Dave through searching wedding vendor websites (including Wedding Wire) and reached out cold. From the very beginning, he was a pleasure to work with. We had specific concerns about the lighting at our venue, so he sent us examples of his work in similar conditions to evaluate. Dave was responsive throughout the entire process, adjusting all the details to suit us and our day's schedule/needs. It was the opposite of a cookie-cutter approach; Dave created a plan specific to us and what we wanted. He was clear, communicative, and responsive from our first email onward. The actual day-of was exactly as Dave promised: guidance when needed, but otherwise, he captured the moments as they flowed. He even made the posed shots easy and fun to do. I can't say enough good things about Dave -- he is the best!

Dave went above and beyond my expectations for my wedding day. The wedding was a destination for us, but I was able to meet with him for coffee when I was up in the area to discuss what I wanted the day to look like and the types of pictures we wanted taken. We wanted candid shots more so than the traditional posed pictures and he was happy to oblige us with this request. On the wedding day, he went through my list that I had provided of certain pictures I wanted and then also asked me if there were any others that I had thought of or wanted. Brian, his assistant, was excellent as well and super helpful. They both were relaxed and easy going throughout the day which helped with my overall emotional state. They checked with me throughout to make sure I had what I needed and if there was anything that they could do. It has only been 5 days since the big event, but he has already emailed and included a picture, which has me excited to see the rest of the day! I would recommend Dave's photography to anyone.
