We cannot recommend David enough! He has such an incredible eye for capturing unique and meaningful moments, and every single photo turned out beautifully.

Dave is the best!!

Dave really is the best! From making planning easy for us to being responsive and open to what we wanted for photos, he was so helpful! We are definitely not big into taking pictures of ourselves but Dave helped us every step of the way! Planning was very easy as he had a questionnaire with open communication before the big day. His time efficiency was amazing ! Capturing all the important details with ease. We opted for a second photographer for part of the big day and Misty did not disappoint either! Payments were made over time on a reasonable schedule which made it very doable for us. We received all of the photos from that day within a week and a half after the wedding. Dave and Misty were able to capture all of our special moments and personality throughout. 10/10 recommend Dave Champagne!

He noted specific and special moments that we knew we did not want to miss on our day. We are truly grateful for his expertise and time he dedicated to capture our wedding day. On the day of, he was on top of our planned itinerary. He knew exactly how to pose everyone - big and small groups. David was personable and caring. We admired his quick responsiveness and how he swapped between cameras. Even though it rained on our wedding day, David still managed to bring the magic that we will cherish forever. Thank you David for everything! Alex and Sara

Phenomenal wedding photographer

David Champagne Photography was phenomenal to work with from the very beginning. We have had the pleasure of working with David twice now and he does not dissapoint. His attention to detail and ability to capture so many perfect moments are just a small amount of what makes working with him so wonderful!
David captured thousands of photos of our daughter's special day and didn't miss one single detail. The intimate details of the wedding, the laughter, fun, and love can be seen in every photo.
David made the entire process flawless and we could not be happier with the end result. We would recommend David Champage Photography to any and everyone looking for someone that takes the time to create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!

Stop searching - David is your photographer!

David made me feel like such a priority from the very first phone call. His passion for this is evident. He also has a passion for people, and everyone was happy to be in his presence. His skills, knowledge, and experience made this the easiest process and we cannot thank him enough. He was attentive and creative throughout the day, didn’t miss a single thing, and went above and beyond to deliver quality photos - both standard and artistic. I wish I could have another ceremony just to get more of his phenomenal photos. He is simply an expert and gave us a gift. He eternalized our special day exactly how we experienced it. He delivered the photos promptly and simplified every logistical aspect for a stress free experience. I would HIGHLY recommend David to anyone interested in perfection :) I would suggest him to my dearest friends and family too. Thank you again David for all the work you put into this job for us. We cannot thank you enough!

Professional and Talented, 30 stars out of 10!

David Champagne Photography is amazing!! David was well prepared and organized from the beginning, and walked us through everything from the first email to the day of the wedding itself. He was great with helping with us figuring out our desired shots, and the picture quality is superb. His overall knowledge of weddings in general, from helping my wife with her dress to the flowers, was an unexpected bonus. Definitely consider hiring this company!!

David's laid back personality really let's him go with the flow, but I like to think that's because he comes so prepared to every event. His timelines are some of the best I've seen from any photographer and we often incorporate his notes into ours because they're that detailed. David is fantastic to work with and the images he captures are BEAUTIFUL. You'll see his work splashed across our website and some of the best venues in the area, but he's too modest to tell you that ;)
