Can't Recommend Enough

In the months leading up to the wedding, they were so easy to get ahold of, great response time, so friendly and personable. David has a way of making everyone feel at ease and getting people to smile and laugh naturally, making for really beautiful and fun photos. Birgit is so easy to talk to and a great photo editor. We got lots of comments from people at the reception about how great and fun the photographer was. Makes you feel like he's a family friend instead of a stiff photographer standing in the corner. The whole family loved him and now we have fantastic, unique, and dynamic photos to remember the best day of our lives!

Amazing! Great photography.

We booked David & Birgit with just about a months notice. They were so kind, so helpful, and all around just an amazing photography team. David is the photographer and Birgit does the coordinating and photo editing- both so good at what they do. We received a sample photo less than 2 hours after our ceremony! Would 100% recommend!

The Carlson Wedding

Our beautiful day was made perfect by capturing spectacular moments! David was genuine, relaxed, kind-spirited, and incredibly professional! He worked flawlessly with our small children, and was attentive to our requests. His expertise was unmatchable!

David photographed our wedding on August 10, 2018 and we could not have asked for a better photographer. He was funny and disarming, and really made all of our guests feel relaxed and comfortable. Best of all, he charmed our four sons (ages 10-19) into cooperating and having a good time. When you have a teenage boy admitting that getting his picture taken was "fun", you know you've found a great photographer! Birgit is terrific as well -- organized, super helpful and extremely responsive! They are a great team!

We don't have all of our images back yet, but the ones we've seen so far are absolutely fabulous! We couldn't ask for more!

David and his wife make a great business team. We received some questions in advance to share our vision and interests. David called us a few days before the wedding to touch base and was amazing on site with us. He loves what he does and it shows in his work and how he handles people. He was fun, open, easy going, and had a great sense of humor. Pictures were awesome! Thank you David!

David O. Baldwin Photography was outstanding. Such a fun guy. He's been such a plesure to work with. David and his wife were very accommodating. He made everyone feel comfortable to take pictures. He made the wedding so fun before, during and after. It's like being around an old friend taking your pictures. My family and I loved every second of the photo shoot. The pictures look great, I love the lighting and the colours and everything. I would definitely reccomend him taking your pictures!

I am so incredibly happy with the photographer, the support (his wife), and of course- the pictures! Hands down the best experience I have ever had with a photographer. David had my kids smiling- real smiles, not just fake picture smiles. I didn't get very good pictures from my first wedding and I always regretted not taking more time to choose a good photographer. So, for our 20th anniversary vow renewal, I really did my homework and it paid off! I can not recommend David O. Baldwin Photography enough!

David O. Baldwin Photography was awesome. They were very accommodating and made everyone feel comfortable to take pictures. I have a family full of guys that hate being the center of attention and hate pictures and poses. David somehow got them all out of their shells and they loved it and wanted to keep taking pictures. He had every picture I wanted plus some. I am very happy with the quality and quantity of pictures that was taken. They are also very reasonably priced and fast in getting the edits to you. I would hire them every occasion I had to capture those special moments. There is no words I could use to express my happiness in the captured moments that he took on my special wedding day. Any blanks that I could not remember on my day it was definitely captured by David in his photos. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
