A day of perfection for a lifetime of memories. This is the immediate thought that comes to mind when we think of our wedding experience with David. He is truly a special, thoughtful, and talented photographer without whom our wedding day would not have been the same. David was with us the entire day, from bright and early as the wedding party was getting ready all the way into the after party - well into the early morning of the following day. David was there to capture each and every moment to ensure that we will be able to look back on this special day for the rest of our lives. Critically, prior to the wedding David spent significant time scouting the area around Big Sky, Montana (where the wedding took place) to find the best spots with the best views, in order to capture truly majestic photos of us. Of note, we made this process a bit more challenging as the bride has severe allergies to most of nature - despite this challenge David went above and beyond to accommodate us and found the spots that would beautifully capture us without causing any unfortunate allergic reactions! We are so grateful.

The process to work with David for our wedding began months earlier during our wedding planning. Immediately upon talking with David it became evident he was the perfect choice to capture our wedding - a choice that has now proven not only the right one, but also the one we would advise to all couples looking for a wedding photographer in the future. In fact, we would recommend David for any and all photography requests/services, and if ever needed in the future, we would definitely check to see if David would be willing to travel because of the incredible work we know David provides with his photography.

In our experience working with David, it was obvious that he really cares about his clients - both in ensuring they receive the utmost quality product and in meeting the challenges of whatever the client has envisioned. David worked hard to develop a connection with us that gave us the confidence to trust that he would capture any and all photos we wanted on our wedding day. A wedding is unquestionably one of life’s major milestones, in the same vein as the birth of a child or graduation. For such an unique and special moment, we can confidently say that David is the perfect photographer to capture the moment. A couple only gets one chance to photograph their wedding and knowing that David was there gave us the ease of mind, so that we could focus on each other without wondering if every moment was being recorded. One of the aspects of David’s photography that we really loved was his candid shots, which so perfectly captured the raw emotion of the day – a memento that we will be able to look at and remember forever. Something that was really important to the bride was photographing certain lifts and dips in our first dance. Despite only having a few milliseconds between the poses, David sprinted along the side of the dance floor to make sure he photographed everything, and the shots are truly amazing. He even brought a polaroid camera for some fun polaroid shots throughout the day.

As we write this review, we sit here in awe of the stunning photos we received from our wedding. Ultimately, we want to convey to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding (or other photography service) that David is absolutely the best photographer for the event. We also want to emphasize that David is a genuine, kind-hearted, and all-around amazing person, and we are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with him for our wedding.

We highly recommend David Clumpner as a truly skillful photographer, and we hope anyone reading this review gets a peace of mind in choosing him for your special day or other event.

We hired David to capture our 2020 wedding and when Covid forced us to reschedule, he not only accommodated our needs but the man sent us homemade jam and jerky over the holidays. When our new 2021 date rolled around David was amazing - his team expertly managed our requests from getting ready, first look, family portraits and sneaking out for a private portrait session they were always on their A game. When we received our photos (right on schedule), they were everything we hoped for. PLEASE do yourself a favor and HIRE DAVID.

I was lucky enough to have David as our wedding photographer. I don't think I can even write a review good enough to explain how amazing the overall experience was. Since day one, David was highly organized, responsive and professional. Months before the wedding he asks personal questions, sends thoughtful cards and stays in communication with you every step of the way. Then on the actual day, he was everywhere! Dipping and dodging snapping away. He was assertive(in a good way) when he needed to be. Trust me, trying to heard cats to take family photos is difficult. No-one knows what they are doing, so you need a good photographer to tell them what to do. This mans work ethic is insane. He stayed at our wedding for more than 12hours and worked alone! EVERYONE at my wedding was commenting on what a hard worker he is. We received our photos super quick, and they are EXQUISITE! I honestly am having a hard time choosing my favorites to put in the album he is printing for us. To top off the fact that he is an incredible artist, he is such a cool, down to Earth guy. He fit in with our friends and family. I will be using him solely moving forward in all of my photography needs. In my eyes, there is no-one better.

Stop wasting your time and HIRE this man. You will not be disappointed. He made my day so special, and I will forever have beautiful works of art to look back at forever.

I cannot say enough amazing things about David!! Not only did he get the most amazing shots, it’s like he never missed a shot from the entire day. Literally showed up early, stayed late and got EVERY shot. On top of all that everyone loved him, he is the kind of guy you just want to be friends with. If you want amazing photos, never to miss a moment and someone you can trust, USE DAVID!!

Due to an illness in the family, my now husband and I dropped the traditional wedding in our home state (GA) for an intimate elopement and more "us" wedding in Yellowstone National Park. As we were exploring our options, we came across David's blog and absolutely fell in love with his natural, captivating photography style. Little did we know, we were booking an award-winning photographer. During my first conversation with David I knew we were all going to be buddies and I knew that he was most definitely up for the adventure we had in mind. We wanted a wedding that was different from all other Yellowstone weddings, so we decided (with David's help) to venture deep into Lamar Valley. This wedding wouldn't have happened without David. He helped me plan a wedding in three months, communicated with the NPS, provided the names of trusted vendors, picked up my flowers, and met us at our air BNB early to take bridal shots, family pictures, and to organize a first look. David was the reason I stayed sane. He was quick, punctual, to-the-point, and went to extreme lengths to make sure that we felt comfortable in our own skin. I remembered him pulling up to our cabin and me shouting with joy, "David's here!!" because I knew it was smooth sailing from there. He ensured that we had the most amazing day possible. Today, my husband and I drool over our wedding pictures and still laugh about how our photographer laid in the snow and jumped over several bushes to capture the most precious moments. Booking David was THE BEST wedding decision we made, and it'll be yours too!

My husband Dwight and I had our wedding plans change countless times due to covid, and we eventually decided to elope. After a quick google search for photographers in our area, we found David—we loved his style and outlook, as well as his totally reasonable price for an elopement. We could not have made a better choice. Not only is he a true artist, but he’s incredibly organized and professional. He even worked with us when we had to change our wedding date only three days in advance (damn pandemic!).

The day of the ceremony was perfect, and David captured it in all of its wonderful messiness and improvisation. Our light was obstructed by the mountains behind us, but he somehow still took better photos than we could have hoped for. He was also a joy to work with—he had us laughing through the portraits, somehow making two very camera-shy people feel right at home. David captured the day perfectly, not only for Dwight and me, but for all of our loved ones who couldn’t be there.

David was amazing! He was professional, knowledgeable, so nice, and very easy to keep in contact with leading up to the wedding and when he got there he knew exactly what to do and how to capture the beautiful moments of the big day. He made everyone comfortable by keeping it fun and relaxed. We enjoyed having him as part of our group! All that aside, when we got the final product of his hard work, it was beautiful. We absolutely love what he was able to capture and give as a lifelong memory for us. We would highly recommend him for any professional photography needs!!

David is someone that my husband and I will remember for a lifetime. He captured our day perfectly, and quickly became someone that we could see a wonderful friendship evolve with. We love each photo he provided us, and loved his personality and conversation too. He’s professional, funny and has a clear eye for couples photography; the moments he captured for us are truly beautiful. His talent and professionalism are beyond words and we look forward to working with him in the future.

David is wonderful. Not only are his photos phenomenal, but his energy made our wedding day perfect. We laughed, had fun, and could not have felt more comfortable throughout the entire experience. David mentions that he helps people who hate being photographed love their photography. This could not be more true. We didn't want forced photos that were staged and awkward to take; we wanted candid glimpses into the best day of our life and that's exactly what we got. My husband and I rave about our experience to David and I'm so happy to publicly share how grateful we are for sharing our wedding with him and the beautiful photos that will forever remind us of the best day of our lives.

David was the best wedding photographer we could have asked for! He spent the entire day with us and photographed every moment from setting up decoration in the morning to dancing into the night. He gave us almost 900 high quality photos from our day and each one held such meaning and emotion. My wife and I will treasure these photos forever, and our family will too.

If you are getting married and you want a photographer who is both professional and extremely fun to be around, and who will capture all of the priceless moments throughout the day, BOOK WITH DAVID CLUMPNER.
