About

When people ask me what I do for a living, I tell them I have the best job in the world! What’s not to love about sharing some of the most blissful moments in a person’s life. (Oh, and free cake!)

Each wedding is unique, each bride and groom have their own style … and finding the right photographer to truly capture the spirit of a beautiful event that you’ve put so much work into MATTERS!

You’ve spent months planning a day to remember that’s entirely your own, why not use someone to take photos that will capture those details, those one-of-a-kind moments that only you will have, but people will talk about for a long time to come.

I am going to work with you to make sure that each image has you looking your most confident, beautiful self, and we’ll all have a wonderful time throughout. I come from a large, Greek-Italian family of women, and years of caring family criticism from these wonderful women has crafted my attention to detail that is not often matched.

I’m not a photojournalist, I’m not a lifestyle photographer, I’m not the current buzzword photographer. I’m a wedding photographer. My style is editorial, candid, fun. Twenty to fifty years from your wedding day, I want you to look and your album and not be distracted by the current filters or gadgets that flood my industry. Email or call me and let’s setup a meeting!

Absolutely the BEST

I could not have dreamed of a better wedding photographer! Working with Dave was the best experience. He is so fun, friendly, passionate, professional, and made the whole day so much less stressful. The pictures are gorgeous and absolutely exceeded all of my expectations and I’m a pretty picky person! The way he captured emotion, light, love, and all of the meaningful moments was so perfect. I cannot say enough good things about Dave and all of our wedding photos! I will be recommending him to everyone I know getting married! 10+/10

David was able to do our non-traditional reception shoot on relatively short notice and we are so glad and lucky he had that one day available!! He was very flexible and made the process stress-free! We love our photos. Highly recommend him.

Our wedding is not until next March, but David has already been so wonderful to work with. He really enjoys making a personal connection to get to know you and doesn't push with any sort of sales-pitchy antics like some other vendors I talked with. He genuinely wants to deliver a quality product and make sure everyone has fun in the process.

David is the whole package. He did our wedding photos and our recent family photo shoot. He's seriously amazing! Not only are his photos FABULOUS but his personality and passion make working with him the best experience ever. He went over and beyond to make our kids smile and laugh during our family shoot to get a perfect shot. I was so unbelievably happy with our wedding photos. He added such an element to our day it made it complete! My husband and I's favorite story to tell about him is during our wedding he followed our limo to the reception and he pulled up next to us to shoot photos of us and our wedding party being silly out the windows! It was hilarious and made for some amazing photos. He is the only photographer I will use and HIGHLY recommend him to everyone!

As a professional photographer myself, I spent months searching for the perfect person to capture my wedding. I am picky by nature, but David's work is impeccable. I could tell he had the style that I love, and is hard to find - natural, beautiful, classy. We were on a budget (as I'm sure everyone is when planning a wedding) but you don't want to skimp on your photographer. He (or she) is the one person you spend the WHOLE day with other than your new spouse. David was fun, upbeat, hilarious, courteous and freakin talented! He worked his butt off the entire day, running around everywhere with us in 90° weather carrying all his gear and never once complained. He wholeheartedly earned every penny we gave him. He even took some time here and there to show me a few tips on my own shooting. He sent us the sneak peak in just a couple DAYS after the wedding and the shots are absolutely gorgeous! We certainly had our fair share of headaches with our vendors but we have zero complaints about David, go with him and you will not be disappointed. He loves his job and it shows!

Honestly, the best decision I ever made in this whole wedding (aside from my groom) was to have David photograph my wedding. And my engagement shoot. And inevitably every other event in my life when I want memories captured in an amazing way. He has a talent to make things look better than they were in person, to capture tiny details that might otherwise go unnoticed, and the impossible task of motivating groups of boys to be awesome in pictures. His fun, upbeat, and always excited personality puts everyone at ease and makes for perfect pictures. During shoots he makes you feel like you are all super models, but especially the bride :) And his pictures look the same way. He had an amazing team of photographers with him that were absolutely amazing as well and between them all we have memories from our special day that we can share with the world - it is an absolute dream. What David and his team gave me for our wedding (and at a way better price than any other true photo journalist in Cincinnati) is an a priceless treasure. Also, I was more than thrilled to receive these wonderful gifts MONTHS before other photographers can usually deliver. I always had photos within a week - just because he was THAT excited and that hyped up about the shots... as he should be. They are pretty incredible.

I simply can't say enough amazing things about David's work and personality! He was a BLAST to be around the entire day (as well as his assistant Ashley)! They kept us laughing all day long which made for fantastic pictures. David brought several ipads and passed them around at the reception to show people pictures from earlier in the day - I can't tell you how much the guests enjoyed that and how many tears I saw from people who truly had no words for his amazing work. The images speak for themselves - they are absolutely breathtaking! They so perfectly capture the raw emotion of the day and make you feel like you are re-living it all over again. Would HIGHLY recommend David to any bride and groom looking for fantastic images at a great price. The experience and images truly can't be beat by any other photographer (believe me, I've talked to them...)

David went above and beyond the call of duty on our special day - not to mention the quality of his work is fantastic.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
