Dave was committed from the beginning. After reaching out to him about the wedding he called me and we spoke like old friends. He got to know us as a couple, individuals and what we wanted in our wedding photographer. Dave inspires true LOL moments, and proved himself as willing to take the extra mile. After the shoot he enthusiastically agreed to meet us down the street at a local pond to get the perfect sunset picture. We are so happy with that gallery! Fast forward to the wedding and Dave fit in like a member of the family but didn’t skip a beat with capturing all the important moments. I even had a couple guests ask if he was a family friend and by the end of the night he surely was. The only thing to complain about is that there are too many amazing pictures to choose from; we are ecstatic with the way they turned out! His style is super classic without leaving out all those fun lighthearted moments, which in the end are the most important. HIRE HIM, HIRE HIM, HIRE HIM. You will not regret it! -

Dave is a special human being, more than a photographer for us, he became part of the family, easily talking to anyone nearby and making everyone feel at ease and ready to smile for the camera. We would highly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a photographer! -

David is honestly the best wedding photographer! He is also LGBTQ+ friendly! My wife and I talked to him for nearly 2.5 hours during our initial phone call. He is personable and easygoing and makes you feel at ease! On our wedding day I had a wardrobe snafu and Dave gave me a hug and calmed me down. Our wedding guests loved him! We had a DIY Photo Booth with fun props and our guests loved it and Dave was snapping fun pics of everyone! Huge hit! Hire Dave! You will not be disappointed! -

Dave was the absolute BEST- before, during and after our wedding day. We had spoken multiple times on the phone prior to the wedding day, but when we first met Dave it felt as if we knew him for years! He brought such a tremendous, positive energy to our day, and made everyone in our wedding party comfortable and relaxed.
Communication with Dave was a breeze, and he worked with us on the schedule and photo list- even giving us personalized recommendations from his experience.
Dave felt like a member of the family, and the photographs we got were more than we every could have ever asked for. He was an essential part of our wedding day, and even our guests commented about how friendly and professional he was.
15/10, if we ever needed photos taken again we would call Dave! -

Kelli Sent on 10/08/2020He was great! He was willing to meet me in Maine to discuss plans and for the wedding!
We had the privledge of having David as our wedding photographer and he was incredible! He was available to meet with me to discuss plans and had some great recommendations. Throughout the day, he was found everywhere, even in the street stopping traffic to get just the right photo. I really appreciate his talent of capturing the moment and passion for what he does. We felt akward getting our photos taken at first when we had our engagement session and he was great at reassuring us and making it feel natural. I definitley will recommend him to others. -

Gia S. Sent on 10/07/2020Best Wedding Photographer Ever
Dave was the absolute best wedding photographer we could have asked for. He scheduled a time months prior to interview myself and my husband to find out exactly what we were looking for but also just to get to know us as people and as a couple. He is funny, relatable, and remembered every single detail we requested. On the day of the wedding he was at the venue before we were. He made everyone laugh and captured the most amazing photographs of the entire day. Both perfectly arranged photos of both sides of the family, as well as countless gorgeous candids that we will cherish forever. The final album had over 1000 photos and the album comprised of our favorite 100 was wonderful and just perfectly captured the best day of our lives just as we want to remember it. Would highly recommend Dave as a #1 choice to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. -

Jessica Sent on 10/02/2020Our wedding photos came out beautiful!
Back in June of last year, Dave Herring of Herring Photography, was the photographer for our wedding. He was exceptionally easy to work with, and he did an excellent job capturing the special moments of our wedding! We originally chose him because he was very affordable compared to other photographers and he did not try to sell us all types of bells and whistles and add ons, like some other photographers we looked at. He made us feel like he actually cared about our experience, and not just the money, which in todays wedding industry really matters. His wedding album was a 6th of the cost to buy than what other photographers albums had offered us and he made it out of good material that will last a lifetime. In fact, it has a special spot in our living room book case so all can see it when visiting :)
You can also tell the quality of his pictures because they’re clear and crisp, and not not uber filtered like I noticed other professionals will do to hide their lower quality photos.
If my husband and I could go back in time, we definitely would have Dave take our wedding photos again and we’d highly recommend him for you too! He does photos for more than just weddings, but family photos too and the like. -

Erin Sent on 10/04/2024Do not hire
DO NOT HIRE. I am not one for writing scathing reviews, this one took me over a year and a half but i do not want any other couples to forever want to cry when thinking of their wedding photos. I have attached photos that were taken on an iPhone and the photos Dave presented me with. Dave had a top of line camera, but unfortunately, no skills to use it. We were taking photos in front of large windows, which I know is hard composition to get. I repeatedly kept asking “is this okay? are we good in front of the windows?” because I would have happily moved locations for the sake of great photos, and even still, isn’t it the photographers job to be on top of that? Well, he always replied “yes, perfect, so good!” so you can imagine my UTTER DISAPPOINTMENT when I received his OVERBLOWN, OVEREXPOSED photos. Even the ones he took outside during sunset weren’t any better so you can’t blame it on lighting for inside countering outside backdrop light as they sunset ones are still overexposed. Dave did try to improve and re-upload the photos, and provided me the RAW images but because of how he shot the photos, the over exposed light could not be recovered. The worst part is this could have easily been avoided and I did my best to make sure it was but Dave was clearly not adjusting his settings and worse, not even looking at the images in real time to see how overexposed they were. If I could go back in time, I would not hire Dave and my advice is to hire someone better equipped for your most important day.Herring Photography's reply:
Hi Erin,
I am heartsick knowing that you are so sad to look back at the those portraits by the lake. You told me you that you were happy with the re-edits that you requested, but clearly you are not now. As I told you last year, I am willing to do anything to have them edited the way you want. I have some additional editing tools this year that can make background adjustment or replacement much easier. I would be more than happy to discuss what that looks like over the phone. You can reach me on my cell phone anytime.
All the best,
Dave -
