About

Hi! I'm David, a rock balancing, smiling, easy-going, artist, photographer, and educator. My heart is full with love for...my wife, Stacy, who is a mosaic of beautiful and spicy energy, our crazy fun-loving family, Jesus, red wine, rye whiskey, music, dancing with Stacy at outdoor concerts, the beach, the ocean, hikes, walks…I'm grateful!

Trusting me to photograph one of the most meaningful days of your life is an honor. Our heart is to confidently and artistically capture your celebration as it unfolds between intimate moments, profound emotions, and all the merriment.

I'm enthusiastic about doing what I was created to do, using my craft and experience as a photographer to serve couples for their engagement, wedding day, and now family shoots, including past wedding couples!

If we're a splendid fit, our goal is for every couple to have a genuine, easy-to-work-with, and professional experience.

Let's chat!

Great Photographer for our big day

David was a great vendor to work with from our engagement shoot to planning the particulars for the wedding day. The quality of his photography was impressive and he had a knack for capturing some great moments and unique angles. He was competitively priced and had a quick turn-around on sending us the photographs. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic Wedding Photographer

David is a dream to work with! We hired him for our wedding last month, and he and his assistant were prompt, easy to coordinate with, responsive, and fun! They were pros throughout the entire event, even managing our rowdy wedding party. Our photos were back to us within the same month (!) and they are absolutely stunning. Thank you for capturing these special memories for us, David!

Amazing photographer!

David is so personable and genuinely sweet! He has an eye for capturing happiness and the essence of the surrounding landscape. Any couple getting married in the central coast should hire him!

Amazing photographer!

David completely exceeded my expectations! My husband and I booked our engagement shoot with him, then used him for our wedding, as well. I knew looking through his pictures that I would love his work. Neither my husband or I liked to be photographed, but David made us completely comfortable and made the process so easy. He was easy going and accommodating and completely captured everything amazing about our wedding. I couldn't be happier with our pictures and I'm so glad that we got the opportunity to work with David! I definitely recommend him to any couple for their engagement/wedding!!

Beautiful, romantic photos

David did our engagement photo shoot as well as our wedding, and he was wonderful to work with. His photos have a romantic, natural style, and his outdoor photography is particularly stunning. My husband and I teared up a bit when we saw the photos he took of us during the sunset "golden hour" on our wedding day.

On the wedding day itself, he and his partner Annie helped us feel calm and relaxed, and helped keep us on-schedule. David respected our wishes to have the photography be as unobtrusive as possible during our Catholic wedding ceremony, and were surprised he managed to capture so many lovely moments even from the margins of the venue. He also was good about positioning us or moving items such as trash cans or signs so that there wouldn't be "distractions" in the photos.

He also delivered beautiful teasers to us a few days after the wedding, and then all the photos less than a month after the wedding - so impressive, and way ahead of the industry standard!

Thank you, David and Annie, for being a part of our special day! We will treasure these photos for always.

David was amazing. He did our engagement photos and wedding day. Captured the most beautiful photos. Communication was very easy and he is very thoughtful. He has a very relaxed vibe that everyone appreciated on our wedding day. A couple friends recommended him to us and we highly recommend him for your special day!

David was an absolute joy to work with. We looked at so many photographers, and his elegant style truly stood out to us. When we met him, he was so easy to talk to, knowledgeable about his craft, and truly, just a positive, genuine person. We did our engagement photos with him, and it was so nice to be able to get to know him and work with him during this session so we could really get comfortable for the wedding. For both events, David was so easy to work with - he directed us in poses and made everything seem comfortable and natural. Both our engagement and wedding photo sets are GORGEOUS. I am so in love with all the pictures, and for our wedding, David truly captured the entire essence of the day. We are able to look at our photos and relive the best day of our lives, and we are so thankful that David captured every special moment. He came early for our getting ready photos and stayed until we departed to our hotel, even though we extended our reception by an hour (we couldn't help it - we were having so much fun!). Looking through our wedding photos brought me to tears because I felt like I was able to relive our special day - every moment we want to remember is in the album. There are so many photos - more than my husband and I expected - and I love every single one of them. Pick David for your engagement and wedding photos - you will not regret your decision for a minute, and you will have stunning photos that capture every moment, emotion, and detail of your special day.

David was our photographer for our beach wedding on July 30th. David's photos are absolutely beautiful and a special treasure my husband and I will have to remember our wedding day. He has a great eye for photography and did an amazing job directing us in the photos, capturing us, our family, our friends and the beautiful beach we were married on. David is a true professional and has a special demeanor about him that puts you at ease when you are having your picture taken on this most important day. Our photos are gorgeous!!!

David is your guy if you're looking for an incredibly talented, kind and communicative photographer who will make you feel at ease on your big day! His shots are absolutely amazing and his eye for detail is really impressive. Not only did we get our photos back really quickly (as soon as we got back from our honeymoon)! - but my husband and I were thrilled David captured so many beautiful shots, as well as hilarious, sweet, and surprising ones. We felt like we were reliving the day as we were going through them, which was awesome. We also love that he shot the same scene from completely different perspectives (ie. through harp strings, or from behind the glass ornaments hanging from trees). It was hard for us to pick a favorite shot since there were so many. Highly recommend David for both your engagement and wedding photos - you won't regret it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
