    Darrell and Kristin are like family!

    We were fortunate enough to know Darrell and Kristin after they photographed our best friend's wedding and we consider ourselves so fortunate to know them even better now and to have been able to use them as our wedding photographer! For people who don't love to be the center of attention, they made the entire experience of being photographed so comfortable! They were a joy to be around, were so quick to get our photos and sneak peaks back to us, and made sure that we got every single shot we hoped for! Our experience was a 11/10 and we will forever be grateful for their professionalism and talent.

    Professional and attentive

    Darrell and his wife were lovely to work with. Our engagement photos were perfect and the day of our wedding they understood everything we wanted out of the day and were right there to capture it without distracting us from our guests. They were very easy to talk to and coordinate with and I would never hesitate to use their services again or recommend them to others.

    Always a smooth, enjoyable process

    I met Darrell when he photographed my sister's wedding in October of 2016. We loved his photos and him as a person so much that I had to have him for my wedding as well. Bonus for me, his wife was back in business as his partner in crime and they are a power couple. Side note, she was on maternity leave for my sister's wedding. This dynamic duo made my day so memorable and made family photos extremely smooth (even having to corral a huge Jewish family). They are a joy to be around and were such a great presence to have close on the best day of my life🥰

    Perfection

    Darrell and Kristin were so lovely to work with! They were prepared and took the time to inquire about our preferences before the big day. That made a huge impact! And it reassured us that we made the right choice in having them photograph our special day!

    Great wedding day for the Marsh's

    We had a great experience with our son's & daughter-in-laws wedding photographer, Darrell McDavid. He was easy to work with, had great presence around the entire family and found some really cool and fun angles for shots. Darrell's communication to everyone was clear, very kind and patient, even as things changed throughout the day! I would highly recommend Darrell to anyone considering them for their wedding photos!

    Best photographers!

    Darrell and Kristin are the best photographers! They take amazing engagement photos! They arrive the morning of your wedding and stay with you all day through until the cake is cut! The photos are natural and they do a great job capturing all the details!

    Amazing Photographers!!

    Hiring Darrell and his wife Kristin was the best decision. Our wedding day went flawlessly and they were to thank. They both were very organized. My groom and I got ready in two separate places and it worked perfectly because Kristin was able to photograph the groomsmen and Darrell the bridesmaids. I felt like they captured every little detail; from the groomsmen Ravens socks to the bridesmaids coffee mugs. After our ceremony, at the church, they had a list of every person that we wanted to be photographed. We were able to take every picture we wanted even though we were on a tight timeline since mass started soon after our wedding. At the reception, Darrell not only took pictures but gave suggestions on how to easily cut our cake and even kicked out some wedding crashers. My groom and I loved them and can’t wait to see our wedding photos!!

    Picking Darrell and Kristen as our photographers was the easiest and best decision we made in the planning process. Within 10 minutes of talking to them during our consultation we had made up our minds. They are both extremely friendly and professional, and have a lot of knowledge and experience. They gave us everything we wanted and offered plenty of helpful suggestions along the way.

    We have heard so many horror stories of overpriced photos that didn't look great, long and unorganized photo sessions, couples that didn't get rights to their photos, and photographers that took a very long time to deliver the product. We didn't have any of these issues with Darrell and Kristen. Every minute working with them was a great pleasure, from our first meeting to the very last photo. The value of everything we got was incredible. Included in the price was every photo taken with the rights, an album of 80-90 photos created by them, an engagement photo session, an online gallery for our guests to view, and no time limit. And we had them all day, which was incredible.

    It might seem unnecessary to some, but we were very grateful to have both Darrell and Kristen all day. Darrell captured photos of me and my bridesmaids getting ready while Kristen snapped my husband and his groomsmen. They took a lot of great pictures and never seemed rushed or pressured with both of them present. Every moment of our special day was captured on film. Unfortunately we had to move our wedding inside due to rain, but there were a few times when the weather cooperated and we had some glimmers of sunshine. Darrell was on top of it and quickly gathered my husband and I to go take some photos outside, while Kristen stayed to take pictures of all our guests.

    Not a moment of our special day was missed and there were no bad photos. Darrell and Kristen are extremely professional and passionate about what they do. We are thrilled with the finished product and are very glad that we chose them.

    We had the most wonderful experience with Darrell McDavid Photography! They shot our engagement session, and we had the best time during the photo shoot! Darrell and Kristin were relaxed, laid back, and efficient. They were friendly and genuinely wanted to get to know us and our story. As soon as we saw the photos, our instincts were confirmed; they would be the ones to photograph our wedding! Leading up to the wedding day, they asked for information about who we would like to have photos with after the ceremony, who we wanted pictures with at the reception, and any other special requests to make our day perfect. Kristin and Darrell split up, which made the most of their time with us while my now husband and I were getting ready with our own parties. They were prompt and on time and were so willing to make this day exactly what we wanted. We received our photos within the timeline they promised, and we could not have been more in love with the photos from our wedding and reception! They captured the day perfectly, and we felt like we were back in the middle of the best day of our lives. There really is no other option when it comes to wedding photographers! I am certain we will be using them in the future for other photo sessions!

    We cannot express how great Darrell and Kristin were!! From our first meeting, I knew that they were perfect for what we wanted for our wedding day and were extremely reasonable in price for everything they provide!! Both Darrell and Kristen are extremely laid back and it was so comfortable to have them there while getting ready! They helped us stay on track with our timeline while making sure we got all of the shots we wanted and then some!! They both were super calming when things got a little stressful! We got our photos really fast after the wedding and they all were amazing!!! I cannot rave about Darrell & Kristen enough!!!

    My wife and I are extremely pleased with our wedding photos we got from Darrell and Kristen. They did a great job of capturing our entire wedding and instilled our rustic theme in all of the pictures! Darrell and Kristen were easy to work with and very accommodating. We received nearly 700 pictures and yet I barely remember seeing them. I have been at other weddings where the photographer looks like the bride and grooms shadow, this was not the case. Lastly we received our pictures quickly after the wedding. I have heard of people waiting over 6 months for there pictures. We received them about 6 weeks after the wedding on Christmas Eve, it made our holiday season! All and all top quality professional photography here. very pleased with out choice :)

    Darrell and Kristin are, hands down, two of the kindest and most genuine people you will ever meet. We worked closely with Darrell, but Kristin was just as sweet. We had a set budget for our wedding and they were more than willing to work with us to give us everything we wanted for our wedding. Darrell made both my husband and I feel so comfortable during our engagement photos, we were all laughing and having a great time! There was never any pressure during our engagement session. Our wedding was a year later and both Kristin and Darrell helped to organize our schedule of events for the day down to the minute. I felt like all of the anxiety was gone when they had helped me to plan the schedule of events for the wedding. Darrell arrived early for my wedding and was such a great help in organizing my bridesmaids to get ready, to making sure everything was set in place where it was supposed to. From the preview photo we have seen so far, EVERYONE has been commenting on how beautiful it is! Both Darrell and Kristin have a wonderful eye for photography and you can really tell that they love what they do. I am beyond grateful for their help on my wedding day and I am so glad that we made the decision to work with them for our wedding. If you are looking for a photographer, I highly recommend talking with Darrell and Kristin - you will not regret it.

    Darrell and Kristin are the greatest people you will ever meet. Aside from being so genuinely nice, they are incredibly talented!! You will not regret hiring them to do your photography. One of the best parts about hem is there are no time limits or packages that increase in price for more time. When you hire them, they are there for you all day from start to finish no matter how long. Since there are two of them, not only do they cover everything, but it’s great for getting ready because one can photograph the grooms/groomsmen while the other photographs the bride/bridal party especially when they’re in totally separate places. Darrell and Kristin are so thorough, listen to what you want out of your photography, and will generally help you with whatever you need all day :) I cannot say enough about these two and cannot stress enough how great they are as both people and photographers!! Do yourself a favor and hire them!

    My husband and I got married three weeks ago and we have to say that working with Darrell and Kristin was such a wonderful experience! They were laid back, professional, prompt to respond to my (many) emails, and all in all just great people to work with. From our engagement shoot to being there literally the entire day of our wedding, they made everything easy and stress free. We have only gotten our sneak peek pics back so far but they are BEAUTIFUL! Darrell and Kristin are worth well more than what we paid for them and I have no doubt that the rest of our pictures will be equally beautiful and can't wait to see them!

    The endearing hunt for a wedding photographer began for my now Wife and I as soon as we got engaged, as we both knew and agreed that the "photographer" was one of the most influential pieces to having an amazing wedding day memory. We began our search online, and then soon heard about Darrell and Kristen through mutual friends. We checked out their website and soon met face to face. Darrell immediately had a lasting impact on his with his knowledge of business, openness, professionalism, and high engagement. Furthermore, Darrell and Kristen's work spoke for itself upon seeing it. We hired Darrell and Kristen and are happy to say that we would do it 100x over if we could again.
    Professionalism, insightfulness, creativity, engagement, flexibility, passion, execution, personable, excellence, are just a few adjectives I can relay describing our time with Darrell and Kristen. They will provide you with excellent service and will continue to go above and beyond what is asked with no hesitation.
    Darrell and Kristen- we thank you both for an amazing experience making our day that much more special. You captured my beautiful bride and our day perfectly, and we cannot wait to see our final products.

    Bottom line...Darrell and Kristen as your photographers are a must. You won't regret it.

    Darrell and Kristin were amazing. They made everyone feel so comfortable and open. After we took the main photos we barely noticed them but they seemed to have all the best pics of our reception. I would definitely use them again.

    We very rarely leave online reviews but we felt other couples should know how amazing Darrell McDavid Photography is and how thrilled we are with their services! Apart from our venue, they were the first vendor we selected for our wedding. We were initially drawn to their photographs and how they took candid, fun pictures, but after meeting with them, we knew we had to work with them. They truly took an interest in us as a couple and listened to our ideas. We were slightly apprehensive to be photographed so extensively but both Darrell and Kristin made the process fun and relaxed. During the morning of our wedding, they both had a calming presence and helped to keep us on time. Throughout the wedding day, they were prepared, understood the types of pictures we wanted and were always smiling. Whenever we turned around, Darrell or Kristin were ready to take a picture. They did an amazing job capturing our wedding and we are so happy with how our pictures came out. We truly cannot say enough nice things about this couple, their level of professionalism, and their photography! They surpassed all of our expectations. We enthusiastically recommend them! A million 'thank you's!' Darrell and Kristin!

Every part of your wedding day is stressful and crazy, but at the end of the day when that is all said and done you only have memories and pictures to remember that. Our pictures were perfect!

    I was so excited to meet with Darrell and Kristin when I started my wedding planning. After seeing all of the amazing photos on their website and sending them emails I could not wait to meet with them! I am forever thankful for having them both capture my wedding day absolutely beautifully! They were able to take our classic formal photos, candid photos, and other creative images of our day (I love the variety of photos.) They both always made us feel comfortable the entire wedding planning process. They were always more than happy to answer any questions we had regarding anything wedding related. They are really just pleasant, kind, and genuine people that felt more like family to me! I would also like to point out that you get two photographers ALL DAY for your wedding! I thought that was awesome! That took a lot of pressure off of me because I did not have to stress about missing any parts of our day in pictures. I also love how they offer an engagement session in your package! The wedding package they offer is the perfect package for any bride and groom. They provide passionate service and capture beautiful moments that will last you a life time! Thank you again Darrell & Kristin!

    Darrell and Kristin were amazing to work with! They were prompt, courteous, skilled and family friendly. We chose them for a family photo session and I couldn't be more pleased. I have 2 young children, who warmed up to Darrell rather quickly. I was impressed by the natural talent Darrell has for photography. If I was this impressed before seeing the proofs, I can't wait to be wowed once I view the captured moments!!!! Thank you for capturing our family in such a special way! Will definitely refer them and use them again.
