Highly Recommend!

We loved working with Dave! We are extremely happy with all of our pictures from the wedding and engagement shoot. We met with him before the wedding and he helped us through making our wedding day time line. He even came to the rehearsal the night before to see the layout of everything and meet people before the wedding day! Awesome experience and so glad we chose him!

Best Photographer Ever!!!

Our wedding was the best day of our lives because we chose Dave Thompson Photography. I researched several photographers and was very impressed by Dave Thompson. I went to see him at the South Bend Wedding Expo and it helped solidify my decision on choosing him! We cant say enough nice things about Dave Thompson and his assistant Kelly.

Our photo package included an engagement session. With just a few ideas from us, Dave captured our love story so beautifully with picking the perfect locations for our engagement photos that made our photos so perfect for us and captured our relationship.

Dave is super organized and has amazing wedding templates that make your day run so smoothly such as a wedding timeline and vendor form. He even has a wedding first day kit in case of emergencies!! Dave thinks of everything! Dave even got my husband to take photos with a pink unicorn because it was special to me.

Now to the actual photos, our photos were stunning! He captured the pink and green colors of our wedding beautifully. We absolutely love our wedding album and how beautiful each page is. Dave and Kelly spent the whole day with us and were there to capture every special moment. He is worth every penny.

In addition to being very talented photographers, Dave and Kelly are amazing people who truly care about making your wedding day everything and more.

There is no photographer you should choose besides Dave Thompson, you definitely will be making the right choice!

Professional, fun, talented, and all around sweet. 100% happy.

WOW do we love our wedding photos!!! It was so special to see we were featured on Dave's website and that he made a whole photo story summary with all our best photos! He was an amazing wedding and engagement photographer (and that's from someone who normally hates taking pictures), was super nice and fun to work with, AMAZING communication and documentation, above and beyond surprise gifts and great quality everything, and super quick turn around - we had a ton of edited photos to peruse within 2 weeks!. Thanks so much Dave! :)

Dave was an amazing asset to our wedding venue. He was very flexible in meeting our needs. Beautiful pictures and many keepsake options offered of our special day.

He will cherish the memories of our wedding for a long time to come, thanks to Dave!

Dave took our engagement and wedding photos. He took the time to get to know us and really tapped into what we wanted for our BIG day. He took pictures of absolutely everything I asked for and more. He even was able to get photos of me doing a first look with my dad and then with my now husband which was really special to me. Dave's wedding photography is phenomenal, I definitely recommend using him for your BIG day!

Dave was phenomenal right from the start! I was looking for a photographer who would be comfortable shooting pictures with our Belgian Malinois, and Dave went above and beyond to do his research to learn more about our dog prior to the shoot. Even though it was below freezing, Dave and his assistant made the shoot beyond comfortable, ensuring we had multiple shoots, outfit changes, and warm clothes and blankets in between. I would highly recommend Dave to those looking to feel comfortable and beautiful in their engagement photos!

Dave and Kelly did an amazing job photographing our wedding! All of our photos are stunning! He had a challenging weather day, with on and off rain, light changing every few minutes, but all of the photos are completely stunning! He was so helpful and completely open to whatever pictures we wanted! Thank you so much!!
