  My advice would be to book right away! Very patient (with major client errors! Haha!), personable, and professional. His assistant made a great team and they were kind enough to let us know if all of the tears of happiness got to our makeup! He had very creative shot ideas and made sure to get the shots that count (for example the kiss!). He made sure to include everyone in the shots including our fur baby and made an effort to communicate with everyone to make sure there wasn't anything he missed! We got the pictures back very quickly and we are so glad that we hired David James. Most importantly he was able to capture a very happy day for us and make it so we can continue to relive it every day through his works of incredible art! Thank you David James!

  We wanted to have next day photos at Longwood Gardens and fewer pictures of the reception and David was very accommodating on both accounts at a price that reasonable and affordable even though it meant he needed to book a second day to make our wishes come true.

  David was a joy to work with! His warmth and enthusiasm put us at ease right from our first phone call with him and his expertise and flexibility with our budget made for a stress-free wedding day. The weather moved our ceremony and planned photos inside, but David made great suggestions and made sure we got the shots most important to us. He even stayed later than planned to take some photos at our bowling after-party!

  Dave was an excellent creative choice for our wedding. He came highly recommended, and we were thrilled by his work. He was very professional, courteous, patient and fun. I would highly recommend him for his photography, our pictures are outstanding, and we'll cherish them forever.

  When my now husband and I met David, we knew he was the photographer we wanted to work with, and we'd met several others before David! His personality fit perfectly with ours. He is personable, friendly, experienced, has reasonable pricing, and a genuine love for photography. There was lots of communication before the wedding - picture ideas/must have shot list, timeline discussions, plans for the day, etc. I've been to several wedding where the cocktail hour lasts about 2 hours because the pictures take forever; therefore, one of my biggest concerns with picking a photographer was that we would be able to stick to the timeline we had laid out, so we wouldn't be late for our entrances. David did a wonderful job of making sure everyone was where they needed to be, at the right time. We got all the pictures that we had discussed, and so many more. After the wedding, our pictures came back to us very quickly. They were outstanding pictures and so much fun to look at!
  I would highly recommend David and will use him again!
  Thank you David for your wonderful work!

  The only advice we would give would be to go with David as your photographer! He was so much fun to work with. The pictures we received were absolutely beautiful and this is coming from two very hard to photograph people. Without a doubt we will be working with him again in the future and recommend him highly!

  David James was amazing to work with. We just had our wedding at Downingtown country club. He was a preferred vendor through them. When we met with David we knew right away he was the one. Not only was he easy-going, professional and reasonable with pricing, he was fun. A photographer to us is the most important vendor on your big day. They are the ones that will be with you all day long and capturing the photos that you will cherish forever. It's very important to be able to get along with someone that will be your shadow for the day. He also worked with a partner, which to us a second photographer is always needed especially for those pre-ceremony pictures where one photographer can be with the groom and the other with the bride so you don't miss anything. David and his partner were so professional but also fun and came up with great ideas for shots we didn't even think of. He even let us write him up a shot list of pictures that were very important to us. His prices were very reasonable and he let us make a package that worked for us. if we didn't like something he would take it out and work with us on what fit our taste. David was very flexible with the hours that we needed him for the wedding as well. We just received our proofs and are so excited. They look amazing! I would definitely recommend David James for your wedding if you are looking for creative, fun, affordable, reliable and professional.

  David James did an absolutely amazing job on our special day. He paid attention to all the little details and was present at the right time for great photos. He was friendly and personable with all of the guests. We really enjoyed working with him and he provided a very professional service. He captured the essence of our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Would recommend David to anyone.

  I worked with David James for my wedding and he did a fabulous job! David had the perfect package that I chose which included the engagement shoot, wedding and a 'trash the dress' shoot for after the wedding. It was my dream to do the engagement shoot in a sunflower field. After weeks of searching for one I was coming to terms with the thought that I would not be able to find one. But, David went out of his way and drove around asking and looking for one and was able to find it! He made my dream come true and the pictures that he captured in the field are outstanding. The artistic eye that he has and the talent for capturing beautiful shots are unbeatable. For our wedding David and his team were so helpful and flexible and on top of everything. They made sure to get any pictures requested and also made sure to keep track of the list of pictures we had discussed wanting previously. David really does a wonderful job. He is truly passionate about his work and it really shows in the wonderful products he produces. I would definitely recommend David to anyone looking for a photographer.

  David James was everything I was looking for in a photographer. He was creative, direct, honest, and basically just awesome to work with before and during our wedding day! He captured all of the special moments during the ceremony, reception, and the behind the scene shots. He was very easy to communicate with, and very prompt with responses. To me, picking a wedding photographer was one of the biggest and most important decisions we had to make during the whole wedding planning process, and I could not be happier with our choice. We got our pictures back very quickly, and they were absolutely perfect. I would recommend David James Photography to everyone!

  David was fantastic! He was easy to work with, very thorough, calming presence. He met with us several times before the Big Day to discuss what photos we just had to have, our own creative tastes, family dynamics, etc. we loved working with him and even our GUESTS made comments to us about how fun and inviting he was at the wedding. Highly recommend!

  Beyond regretful......

  It has taken me 1 year to write this review because every time I think of my wedding photos I cringe. We used David James as our wedding day photographer as he was recommended to us by the Downingtown County Club and we have and will always be regretful of our choice in photographer. The quality and contents of the photos were amateur at best. My husband does photograph as a hobby on the side and the quality of his photos are exceedingly better than that of the photos David took on our wedding day. Before meeting with David we let him know that we were looking for creativity and uniqueness in our photos and there is not one single photo that has any creative aspect to it (whether it be lighting, contrast, content, etc.). There are two specific photos of our bridal party on the steps of the venue wand in this photo my husband and myself are out of focus and the picture was not taken in frame as our heads are almost cut off. It has been one year since my wedding and I have put endless amounts of energy into thinking about my wedding photos and how disappointed I am whenever I look at them. I am not the type of person who writes reviews even when I receive bad service at say a restaurant or at a retail store because these are every day services you get and I understand that these are not situations that will not live with you forever but having received such poor quality service from the photographer of your wedding is something that has and will continue to upset me endlessly as this is a once in a lifetime event and this day or how you felt can NEVER be recreated.
