Be open with David about ideas

We have only received our sneak peek photos but the are beyond words. David is wonderful to work with.

David was, without a doubt, the best photographer we interviewed for our wedding (and we spoke with a LOT!). We took advantage of David’s “10k Wedding”, which included an engagement shoot, day-of photographers, videographers, wedding planner, and photo booth. The plan has other available options, including floral, DJ etc. but we already had those vendors locked in by the time we discovered David and his team.

The engagement shoot:
Our engagement shoot was the first time getting in front of the camera with David. From the beginning he made us feel very comfortable. David has extensive knowledge behind the camera, but because he was a model in his previous career, he really understands what it’s like on the other side. He worked with us on our poses and gave us a lot of tips for how to stand, smile, hold each other etc. which really came in handy on the day of our wedding. David taught us how to dip for the camera (yes it’s different than how you’d dip during dancing). It might sound weird, but we actually got a lot of compliments on how smooth and natural our first kiss dip was during the wedding, and we have David to thank for that!

The wedding:
David and his team are very prompt on the day of the wedding. He just got married himself so he completely understand the pressure and stress of the big day. He spent the beginning of the day with me and my bridesmaids and the other photographers on his team spent the morning with my husband and his groomsmen. David has a deep network of photographers, videographers and other vendors throughout the Bay Area. We were very happy with the crew he brought on the wedding day and we actually hired my makeup artist from his list of recommendations. Throughout the wedding, David and his team worked very discreetly. After the ceremony, we had a lot of family photos to get through and everything went really smooth thanks to their organization and communication with everyone involved. We left the ceremony site to get some photos on a cliffside at sunset and David did a fantastic job setting up quickly, getting the right shots and getting us back to our venue to not miss out on the good times.

Photo reveal:
David and his team are very responsive and on top of their communication. After the wedding, we knew it would take a while to get our photos back since we’re in peak wedding season. They sent us a couple sneak peek photos to keep us excited while we waited for the big reveal. When our photos were ready to be viewed, David invited us to his studio to make it special. At his studio, David had popcorn (he remembered we love popcorn and had a popcorn machine at our wedding), and champagne waiting for us. We had a good time chatting about the wedding, his recent travels and where he’s off to next. The reason I’m telling you this is because I feel like we made a genuine connection with David and enjoyed spending time with him. It never felt like a transaction with him, which is exactly what you want from the person capturing the best day of your life.

Overall, our experience with David has been incredibly positive and we’ve already passed his name along to some of our other friends that are in the market. You won’t regret the experience of having him a part of your wedding team and you surely won’t regret the amazing photos he will deliver.
