Amy Sent on 06/23/2025A Perfect Experience – Professional, Fun, and Completely Stress-Free!
Dave McShea was absolutely incredible to work with! From the moment he arrived, he brought such a calm, fun energy to the day — exactly what we needed. He was incredibly professional, yet so easygoing and personable. He made everyone feel comfortable and was great with my entire family. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing — he captured every important moment beautifully without ever feeling intrusive or staged. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s talented, reliable, and just a joy to have around on your big day, Dave is it. Highly recommend McShea Photography. -

N&J W. Sent on 12/08/2024Dave Was the Perfect Photographer for Our Wedding – Professional, Talented, and Truly Dedicated
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Dave! From our very first call, he impressed us with his organization and attention to detail. He sent us spreadsheets with thoughtful questions to ensure he understood exactly what we were looking for, and that level of preparation gave us total confidence in his abilities from the start.
Dave also did our engagement shoot at Longwood Gardens, and it was an absolute dream. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and the photos turned out breathtaking. He has such a natural way of capturing authentic moments and emotions—it felt less like taking pictures and more like he was telling the story of our day.
For the wedding day itself, Dave brought Allison along, and she was equally wonderful. Together, they made the perfect team, capturing every moment without ever feeling intrusive. They were so easy to work with, keeping us on schedule while still capturing all the candid, beautiful moments we wanted.
We’re beyond thrilled with how our photos turned out, and we can’t thank Dave and Allison enough for their hard work, creativity, and professionalism. If you’re looking for a photographer who truly cares about your vision and makes the process seamless, Dave is the one! -

Stephanie Sent on 03/12/2024Impressive and so friendly
Can I just have Dave follow me around and take pictures? He captures the best in every photo. Sneak peaks were sent within a week, and I can't stop looking at them. I was impressed with Dave's night shots, knowing a winter wedding could be dark. Dave is professional, easy to work with, and everyone loved him! I highly suggest working with Dave. -

Dave was the best decision ever! He was the first vendor we booked for our September 2023 wedding and he went above and beyond our expectations. Dave was there for wedding guidance and advice during stressful wedding planning and was always professional. We booked him for our engagement shoot too and were so pleased with the photos. He has a quick turnaround time and is truly a wedding photographer - he knows what he's doing! Always easy to get a hold of and takes his job seriously, yet is very down to earth. We really would not have had the same wedding experience without him! -

Tara Sent on 12/15/2022You should book Dave McShea as your wedding photographer!
We are so thrilled that we chose Dave McShea to be our wedding photographer! Dave was so easy to work with and had great communication with us along the way. What drew us to him was his upfront and transparent approach to pricing and just his style in general (as well as his amazing pictures, of course!). He was accommodating when we decided to do our engagement shoot at a destination we were traveling to, despite it being part of the plan we originally booked with him and was willing to take it out of our package with no problem. We had a few calls with Dave leading up to the wedding and you could tell he was very detail oriented, which made the day itself so much easier as we had everything planned out, but not to the point where it was rigid. The first time we met Dave in person was at our wedding day and he fit right in without ever being in the way. He took so many AMAZING pictures (of course!) and was timely in getting them back to us. He even rushed a special request to share with family at a holiday gathering. We got sent a classy USB with all the photos, both edited and unedited, but also have access too all our edited photos via a website album for download and sharing. We are working on figuring out the pictures we want for our album and it is a struggle because he took so many beautiful pictures of our wedding day. You should book Dave for your wedding, simply put! -

Luciann Sent on 11/03/2021Dave is amazing
I cannot say enough about Dave! You can tell right from the start that he loves what he does! He has a great eye for capturing candid shots that you might've missed while you were partying the night away. He has a wonderful personality and makes you feel at ease when taking posed shots. We had a large bridal party and he was able to keep everyone in line and the picture process went so smoothly.
He answers emails/calls/texts right away too! Which not all vendors will do; I was a nervous bride so I greatly appreciated the communication. He's also super nice when family might get in the way to try a snap a quick picture. He's great with children too! We had a couple of little ones and he made sure to get pictures where they were smiling.
Super professional, but still down to Earth, and just genuinely a really good guy! I HIGHLY recommend Dave and will tell everyone about him! :) -

Dani Sent on 12/11/2019Best Wedding Decision We Made
It is almost two months after our wedding and our friends and family are still talking about how amazing Dave was! If you are considering McShea photography, stop thinking and book him! Even during the initial phone conversation Dave was personal, warm and informative. We heard that it was a good idea to take engagement photos to feel more comfortable with the photographer but that definitely wasn't necessary. He made us feel like we knew him forever from the beginning of the wedding day! When we talked before the wedding, we sent Dave a bunch of detailed photos from pinterest. He let us know exactly what we would need to make the visions come true. He remembered every one of those details on our wedding day.
Dave did an incredible job giving us and our wedding party direction without making anyone feel stage or stiff. For example, he captured great shots of the bridesmaids laughing without saying “okay, now look at each other and laugh.” We felt great every time we were in front of the camera and it was all thanks to Dave. In addition, Dave dealt with my crazy mom and stayed late when we spontaneously added on another hour to the reception!
All of Dave’s hard work, professionalism and talent really showed in our pictures. We could not have been happier with the final products. He caught all the best moments from intriguing, unique and flattering angles. He dealt with challenging lighting issues during the sunset and the photos were stunning. Dave is a true artist. Besides getting married, Dave was absolutely the best decision we made related to the wedding. -

Maria Sent on 12/04/2019Breath taking
Two and a half years ago, I got engaged. I started to look for photographers. I had such a specific look I wanted to get accomplished for our photos. I came across Daves photos, and I knew after looking at so many, that Dave was the one I needed to contact. Dave made it so simple to meet up to discuss what I wanted out of our photos. Over the last couple of years, Dave has been nothing short of amazing. It started with our engagement shoot, he sent us the locations to look at, and we trusted him to pick the best ones, and honestly he did not steer us wrong. Our engagement photos came out better than we could have ever hoped for.
A year later, our wedding day is finally here. From the morning until the end of the night, Dave made sure he was there for everything. He took every detail shot there possibly could have, and made sure he got every family group shot that we could have done (and there was a lot of us). He handled our very large family & bridal party like an expert. He made sure everyone was in line, and looked great for the photos.
From the photos we have received back, they are literally breath taking. They made us speechless and very emotional, and it takes a lot to make me speechless.
We have recommended Dave to literally everyone we know. He made the day run so smooth. We will be using Dave for every event we need a photographer for, babies, parties, everything!
Thank you so much Dave for everything you have done for us over the last two and a half years. It means the world to us to have made our day so incredible.
Much love,
The New Mr. & Mrs. Kevin Godfrey -

Dave is a rock star.
I haven't gotten my photos back in their entirety yet, but I am too excited about Dave and Simone that I can't keep it in!
First, Dave is so easy to work with. He is friendly, personable, funny, and prices his services reasonably in a way I've found is rare for wedding photographers. He's organized and works according to a schedule so that your wedding goes smoothly! He is awesome! A lot of our relatives said that they were "so impressed- the photographer was everywhere at once!"
Second, our photos so far have been gorgeous! We only have a handful, but the photographer captured every awesome moment of the event from the surprise dip during our first dance to a moment of laughter that no one saw coming.
Dave is one of the best choices I've ever made. I can't recommend him highly enough. Stop your search here- you've found the one! -

John Sent on 07/18/2019Fantastic and Professional
David was professional and did an amazing job. From the start, David was helpful and professional covering every detail of what our expectations were and what was needed. And of course, my spouse and I overslept the day of the wedding and had to change every detail up to the time we had to walk down the aisle. David was calm, cool and flexible as we were not. He blended into the background and wasn’t intrusive at all. The photographs are amazing (and we aren’t spring chickens, I even told him on day 1, unless he went to hogwartz, I doubt I’ll display them). Well, he did magic. I love the pictures!! -

Meg K. Sent on 12/13/2018Dave (McShea Photography) is AWESOME!
I would absolutely recommend McShea Photograhpy! Dave is such a kind and well knowledgeable photographer. He has helped me plan and helped me with the timeline of my special day!! He has so much experience and definitely knows how to make the experience so much fun!! -
Isabel Sent on 09/20/2018Dave was fantastic! His photos are drop dead gorgeous. For me, photos were the most important part of our day. I can't wait to show these to our kids in 10 years and tell stories about our amazing wedding.
Dave was a dream to work with, keeping things simple, walking us through every step, and making us look fantastic! He was responsive to emails but didn't bug us unnecessarily. He helped navigate the tricky family dynamics with my blended family, without stepping on toes. He was snapping shots all night long but he kept a low profile, blending right in. And our photos are stunning. He took us on a little adventure before the ceremony and got some really cool artsy shots, just like we asked. And he got all the "formals" done quickly and efficiently, even adding a few a la minute. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience. Thank you Dave! -

Bre Sent on 08/18/2018Dave photographed our July 28 2018 wedding. He was an absolute blast to work with! We met in person twice before our date to go over logistics. He was super accommodating as I was very wary of planning to do outdoor photos in July - I was concerned it would be too hot or rainy. Dave made a Plan A, B and C for us depending on the weather. He kept us on track with timing for the first look and bridal party photos on the day of. He played the role of time keeper to make sure we got all our must-have photos. My husband and I did not have to think about timing or wrangle our family members for photos- Dave had it handled. During the reception, Dave was literally everywhere- he captured so many candids of us and our guests. He has an eye that truly captured the vibe of our event. After the wedding, Dave was immediately in touch to update us on his editing progress. We have already received our photos and are in love with his work. I can not recommend McShea photography enough!

Beth Sent on 07/05/2018There are not enough positive things that we can say about Dave and McShea Photography. From the very beginning of the wedding planning process, we knew that McShea Photography was the perfect wedding photographer for us. In addition to his photography skills, Dave provided us with customer service that truly went above and beyond. He was very professional, personable, informative and detail-oriented! We couldn't have asked for a better experience with him. At our initial meeting, it was very evident that Dave absolutely loves his job, knows what he is doing and understands how important wedding photos are to the couple, their families and friends. He provided us with a sense of ease and comfort, which made it easy for us to trust that our wedding photos will come out beautifully. On the wedding day, Dave arrived early and ready to find the perfect locations at the venue. Throughout the day, Dave left a positive impact on our bridal party, family members and guests. One of our guests referred to Dave as a photography ninja because he managed to get incredible shots without being intrusive or in the way of anyone having a great time. We cannot thank McShea Photography enough for all of the stunning photos and for the incredible experience. McShea Photography has given us the chance to relive our wedding day through all the moments that we witnessed or even missed on the dance floor!

Rosalie Sent on 12/10/2013If I could give David from Mcshea Photography more than five stars, I would. He was the photographer for our engagement photos and our wedding. He is the nicest of all the wedding vendors we worked with and all of the pictures turned out amazing. He is great at taking candid photos and really capturing the emotions of the wedding day. My husband did not like his picture taken at all before the engagement shoot, but David made him feel comfortable and made the whole experience fun. -
