    So happy we chose David!

    We are extremely happy that we chose David to photograph our wedding. From our initial meeting, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding day, and to the final delivery of our photos, every step along the way was seamless and handled very professionally. For 2 people who tend to be shy in front of a camera, David made my husband and I feel comfortable and at ease during our engagement shoot and for our formal wedding portraits. The candid shots he took during our wedding are incredible as well. He really captured the smiles, happy tears, laughter, and love that filled our wedding day. We could not be more thrilled with the photos we received. They are gorgeously composed and we have been so happy to look back at them and share them with family and friends. So many people in our wedding party even told us how much they loved working with David. We are looking forward to getting our photo book printed with him soon. We would certainly recommend him to friends and family!

    The Best Wedding Day Experience

    I cannot express my thanks enough for the beautiful photos! My husband and I planned our wedding from Colorado, lots of Zoom calls and phone communication. By the time we came home for our wedding, it had felt like we already knew him. The wedding day photos went by seamlessly and such beautiful memories were captured. David and his assistant Rachel communicated well with us throughout the day and made it so much more memorable. Thank you Thank you for making our special day so much more special!!!!

    Amazing experience!!

    My husband and I were so happy to have David capture our big day!! David was extremely attentive to us on our wedding day (and at our engagement shoot as well!), making sure we got the perfect shots of every very special moment! It is easy to see how much pride he takes in his work. He is very precise in making sure every shot is perfect, which we greatly appreciated. We love the natural look of each photo, they are completely timeless! We truly couldn't have asked for anybody better than David. We couldn't recommend him more!

    David was amazing and his photos are creative and wonderful quality. My husband and I were ecstatic about how both our engagement and wedding photos came out. We were simply blown away at the quality and the amount of talent David has; plus, he was easy to work with and very friendly. In addition, we worked with Jen who designed our save the dates, guest book, and invitations. The designs were unique and beautiful and we received so many compliments from our guests. We wouldn't have changed a thing. We recommend both David and Jen without any hesitation. You won't regret choosing David as your photographer and Jen for your invitation needs. They truly are both amazing!

    Our Second Photographer!

    David was the second photographer for our wedding, recommended by our contracted photographer, and we could not have been happier with him being part of our day! We met him the morning of, and he spent a lot of time with my husband and the groomsmen. The guys were slow to get started in the morning, and he was very patient with them and really helped to get the ball rolling. He stayed in constant communication with our coordinator to help keep the guys stay on track! He has a very fun and creative eye, making sure to capture the natural moments. When we had a few minutes between photo locations, he took my husband and I to the side to capture some extra couple portraits and helped calm the rush and flow of the photo session down. He is the ultimate professional and we cannot thank him enough!

    The BEST October Wedding!

    I am grateful that Dave was recommended to us by another family member, as the engagement and wedding photos are beyond incredible. Dave made us feel very comfortable and is an expert at what he does. Dave and Joel were both wonderful to work with on our wedding day, and most of the time you didn’t even know they were there. I can honestly say that with over 1,000 wedding photos they are all picture perfect. It was very sentimental to look at wedding photos that took place during the day that we couldn’t physically see happen, and then relive those happy moments. Besides the venue, photography choice was a top priority for our wedding day, and you and your team rocked it!

    David is the best!!

    When my husband and I first got engaged, we had 3 other couples recommend David as our wedding photographer, and they were right to do so! David was fun, easy to work with, and totally flexible when we had to postpone our wedding in 2020. All his photographs have come out beautifully and, between our engagement shoot and wedding day, we have hundreds of gorgeous photos to remember this special time in our lives.

    David made all the planning easy for us. He was responsive to any messages we sent and made sure to cover all the details in any phone call that we had. He helped us create a schedule of photos for our wedding day that ensured we got all the pictures we wanted and that we got to enjoy as much time with our guests as possible!

    On our wedding day, David and Rachel took us all over our venue to get as many gorgeous shots as we could. We are so grateful for how well they captured our special day and we couldn't be happier with our experience!

    Great experience!

    David was so wonderful to work with. He was recommended to me by a photographer friend when I was trying to find a photographer last minutes for my sister’s wedding. David was so responsive and pleasant with every interaction. He was professional and thorough while working, making sure he got all the details of the day. His photos were gorgeous; my whole family was so impressed. I would definitely work with David again!

    All around great photographer!

    My husband and I found out about David through a mutual friend, so he wasn't exactly a stranger to us! I looked David up over a year ago and fell in love with his style. My husband and I don't really take many photos or like having them taken, so we wanted someone who would capture things pretty naturally and not make us feel overly posed. I knew from the moment we first met with David in his studio that he would be the right fit for us. He's relaxed, professional and knows his stuff. My husband and I were super nervous about the engagement session back in October of 2019, but David was patient and managed to get photos that we never even dreamed we could have. He made us feel comfortable and the photos were proof of his ability to capture "real" moments. Nothing at all was fake about our photos! Fast forward to September 19th, 2020 and David was just as amazing. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, David was such a support system for us. He checked in and answered any questions we had. The week of the wedding we had a Zoom call with him and he spent an hour helping us through a schedule for the day that would help us fit as much as possible into our small ceremony/cocktail hour. David was extremely professional at our wedding and I really appreciated how he checked in with our videographer to ensure he was doing okay and had time to film a couple extra things that he wanted. We have only seen a teaser photo so far, but we can't wait to see the rest! We are incredibly thankful and lucky to have the pleasure of having David a part of our 2021 First Anniversary/wedding part 2!! We will continue to use him even beyond that because he is so good!!

    Amazing photos for a tiny COVID wedding

    We weren’t sure if we would be able to have our wedding due to COVID. We had always planned on a small ceremony, but until June, we weren’t sure if it would be possible. Since things came together so last minute, I reached out to David a week before the wedding to see if he was available. Thankfully, he was. He got right to work getting the details of the day, the family portraits we wanted and spent time talking with us about the style of photos we wanted. I really appreciated his attention to detail. The day of, he arrived early (with his mask on!) and got right to work. We could not be happier with the photos he took. He has a great eye for finding spots to capture amazing images. The turn around time on editing and posting the photos was also incredible. David’s style is timeless and fun at the same time.

    David was recommended to me by a friend to photograph my moms wedding. The wedding was very last and wasn't very structured. But through the chaos of the day David was able to perfectly capture the most important and memorable moments beautifully. David was quick to answer my request for an estimate, was very professional and fit in great at the party! He was a pleasure to have at the wedding and I would definitely recommend him for any occasion!

    10/10 Amazing Experience!

    We loved our engagement session experience with David! He was professional, communicative, and listened closely to what we were looking for. He tailored his offering based on what we wanted! He's also very passionate about what he does, and that shows in his personable approach and in his work. He made us feel so comfortable during our session, and the day was a blast! We are highly impressed with the quality and the amount of photos we received...there are so many great ones to choose from! We will cherish these photos from David for a lifetime. Love, Jess & Jason.

    David holds the Title of Universal Best Photographer to us!

    Planning a wedding is stressful enough as EVERYONE knows so the first thing you want to do is surround yourself with vendors and people who will help the process, David Apuzzo exceeds all expectations. We thought we were on track for the "normal" wedding planning experience until we had to postpone our wedding 11 days before our date due to COVID-19. David took the time to help us find a new date and work with our venue. As things changed and progressed throughout the state opening back up David stayed in touch and kept me updated about what the talk of the vendors looked like. I felt the compassion he had through our entire experience. The photos showed his passion, talent and attention to detail. I will continue to speak volumes to the amazing job well done!

    Amazing photographer

    When I got engaged I knew right away I wanted to have David be my wedding photographer. He photographed one of my good friends weddings and the pictures were stunning. David was always easy to reach by phone, email, or text and was a valuable asset during the wedding planning process. I truly appreciated Davids help putting together a timeline to help organize the wedding day and to ensure that all the family formal pictures were correct. The day of the wedding David was instrumental in ensuring that everything went smoothly. When I got the pictures back my husband and I were so happy with them. They were perfect! We would recommend David to everyone. You will not be disappointed!

    Wonderful photographer!

    David Apuzzo photographed my engagement session with my fiancé Jason in June 2019. When we initiated the conversation about the shoot, David was wonderful in working with our busy schedules on finding a date that worked for us all. He sent invoices quickly and always responded in a timely manner to emails, calls, and texts. He was very attentive to our needs and vision: I sent him multiple images of “inspiration” and on our shoot day, he looked over our previous email multiple times to make sure he got every shot we requested. Talk about attention to detail! We have so many beautiful photos in our home that capture our love for one another - and it’s all thanks to David! He’s a professional, attentive, and dedicated photographer who aims to please and is amazing at what he does. If I could rate our engagement shots on a scale of 1-10, David would surely earn an 11. A+!

    Experienced Professional Photographer With A Great Eye!

    We hired David for our wedding (which will take place this October 2019) and part of his package included an engagement shoot, which we did this past May. We couldn't be happier with the photos! From the get go, David was warm and welcoming, and immediately made us feel comfortable. He took the time to make sure lighting and positioning was ideal for each photo, which put us at ease knowing we were working with a true professional. Our little doggie who came along to make an appearance in some photos was a little stressed, and David was a champ about it. To top it off, we received the photos just a few days later, and they are beautiful! We are so glad we chose to go with David as our photographer and have total confidence in him capturing the best moments of our wedding this coming October!

    Follow-Up Post Wedding:
    We couldn't be happier with the decision we made to have David as our wedding photographer! Not only did he capture the entire day beautifully, he was by my side to assist with anything I needed (including helping my MOH bustle my dress which was quite difficult)! We also made a last minute change on the venue for the post wedding pictures (David had spotted an area with beautiful fall foliage) and they came out more beautiful than we could have hoped. Every moment and emotion was captured. The time, talent and care that David puts into his work truly shows. Should we need a photographer down the road for any special events, we will definitely be returning customers!

    David is the best! Beautiful stunning photos, and a delight to work with!

    David is amazing to work with, his calm and cool vibe is something you want on your wedding day. He went above and beyond our expectations and helped make the day stress free.
    Our pictures are absolutely stunning, and more than being beautiful and artistic photos, he captured the feeling of the day perfectly. I smile and laugh when I see them and remember the moments. He and his team are the best!

    Best Decision for an Amazing Photographer!

    We could not have picked a better person to work with for our wedding!!! From our initial meeting through our engagement session and wedding weekend, David was extremely attentive/responsive and always willing to help with whatever we needed throughout the entire planning process. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (which neither of us thought was possible) and the photos are absolutely amazing! David also coordinated details of our ceremony to ensure it ran smoothly and really put my mind at ease that I had nothing to worry about. Not only is he a fantastic photographer but a truly great person to work with!

    Engagement and wedding shoot

    David was so wonderful when he shot our engagement shoot and wedding! He jumped at the opportunity when we said we were planning the wedding from half way across the US. He made a very difficult and stressful planning process seem like a breeze. He was in constant contact and ready to answer all of my questions.
    He did a fantastic job of capturing the joy and laughter we had both days. There are so many beautiful photos and even sillier candids (and we love our candids!) He even let us include our dog in our engagement shoot, and he managed to perfectly capture her personality!
    I will admit that I was a little grumpy and stressed the morning of my wedding, and he managed to turn my mood completely around with his endless positivity, compliments, and silly jokes.
    He is so friendly, professional, and somehow makes taking photos not feel awkward at all!

    Best Decision

    When we got engaged I knew I wanted David to be our photographer. He photographed my best friends wedding and after working closely with him and seeing his style I knew he was the right choice for our wedding. David was always responsive via email and phone. He always put my me and my husbands needs and wants before anything else. He always reminded us that it was our day and he was there for us. David is extremely efficient and organized. The day of our wedding he made sure that everything ran smoothly so my husband and I did not have to worry about a thing.

    When we received our pictures we were blown. My husband and I enjoyed reliving our big day. We especially loved the colors in the pictures. Everything was so bright and true to color, we felt like we were right back in the moment.

    We would recommend David to any bride and groom for their special day. You will not be disappointed.

    Great Experience!

    We loved working with David for our wedding photos! He was easy to work with, super responsive, and most importantly - the pictures look amazing! We hadn't been planning to do an engagement shoot, but since it was included in the price we went for it and it really helped to have a day of "practice" getting used to the photographer/having someone clicking away. The photographers were respectful during the service and reception - I never felt like they were getting in the way of the party - amazing pictures just appear of all the important moments. Also, the photographers were super flexible on the day of. We had some unusual elements in our wedding and some last minute changes and they were great about going with the flow to capture what happened as the night went on. Great pictures, easy logistics, highly recommend!

    Amazing Wedding Photography

    David is hands down the best! Since the first time we met with him, he has been dedicated to making sure my husband and I were happy. Our engagement pictures AND our wedding photos came out better than we could have imagined! We are absolutely in love with the pictures and the artistic eye that David has. He was so efficient on our wedding day, made sure we got all the pictures we wanted and then some. My friends and family even commented on how fantastic he was! I highly recommend David if you are looking for a photographer who loves what he does and goes out of his way to take care of you throughout the whole wedding process. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about David not only as a photographer, but as a person.

    Absolutely AMAZING Photographer

    David was the best photographer we could have ever imagined photograph our special day. He captured every moment I could have wanted to see captured and i cannot put into words how amazing it was to see the final product. David's attention to detail and creativity with poses made each picture tell a story, especially even the candid photos. You could feel the emotion in each picture he and his assistant captured and seeing each picture after the event made those moments even more special. I highly recommend using David for your upcoming event, he made our wedding day so much less stressful and was so helpful with his timelines that he created, making sure you were where you needed to be when you need to be there. David is a dedicated photographer and always has his clients best interest in mind.

    Amazing experience!

    David and his team were absolutely amazing and helped to make my wedding day easy to enjoy without stress. He is professional, down to earth, super easy to work with, enthusiastic, and obviously loves what he does. I was worried because my large family can become easily distracted, however, David was able to direct everyone with success! He was also there for us throughout the entire wedding planning process and is full of wedding related tips and resources. I highly recommend David!

    Book him now!

    I can't say enough good things about our experience with David. He was attentive and encouraging throughout the entire planning process right through the end of our wedding day. He worked with our venue/caterer to iron out all the details. Working with him helped make the day even more memorable. His team was spectacular and helped us feel at ease. I'm not the best with being the center of attention or being photographed but working with David took a lot of that stress away. He and his team were 100% professional and had an open ear all day long (I even got a very helpful pep talk during some stressful moments before the ceremony - thanks, Joel!). I absolutely cannot wait to see our wedding photos and would highly recommend David to anyone currently planning their wedding or special event. There is no second-guessing our decision to work with him.
