Highly recommend!

We highly recommend Spence Photographics to anyone looking for a photographer. We were in awe when we received our beautiful wedding photos, and so many people have told us that they are among the most beautiful wedding photos they have EVER seen! We agree! We thought the price was very reasonable and David was SUCH a pleasure to work with--very personable, go-with-the-flow, and professional. So happy to have had Spence Photographics capture our big day!

Our wedding photos are AMAZING!!

We chose Spence Photographics for our September 2021 wedding and are totally blown away by the pictures we got!! We can’t recommend David highly enough. He was wonderful to work with – warm, down to earth, and clearly passionate about his craft. He captured so many special moments throughout the day that we’re having a really hard time choosing our favorites! We really appreciated the super speedy, helpful communication from Molly in the months leading up to the event and were impressed by how quickly we got a sneak peek of the day.

We also booked the open-air Silly Station photo booth – our guests loved it!! It was a really fun addition to the event and a lovely keepsake for guests – the booth prints two photo strips for each take, and there’s an online gallery with all the photos.

Excellent Experience

As two people who hate to have our photos taken or be at the center of attention, David was fantastic at putting us at ease and making the experience an enjoyable one. His pictures are absolutely beautiful and he was so easy to work with. We just received our first preview photos from our wedding and we cant stop raving about them. David and his wife Molly were both extremely professional and responsive, helping us at every step of the process and making this camera shy couple excited to be in front of the camera.

Amazing Experience!

Spence photography did our engagement and wedding photos and we also used their photo booth for our wedding. We cannot stress how much we loved the photos and how much fun it was to work with them. My husband and I are not the biggest fans of taking pictures but they put us at ease and we had a great time doing it. They are there to help and capture the day perfectly. Get the photo booth! The guests loved it! Also their presentation of everything from the sneak peaks to the end products of the wedding are amazing. We will definitely be using them again in the future!

Another stunning perfromance

11 years ago, David of Spence Photographics produced amazing photos of our eldest daughter's wedding. Since then, he has captured exquisite family portraits and most recently our youngest daughter's wedding. On each occasion the results have been beyond what we ever expected! Professional, easy to work with and an eye for just the right photo to either bring a smile or a tear. Exceptional!

Excellent! Beautiful outdoor photography

David and Molly (business manager) have been absolutely wonderful to work with. We knew that we wanted a photographer who has a lot of experience with outdoor photography, given the unique challenges that presents, and we are so glad that we chose David. Both David and Molly were very responsive, accommodating, and flexible, especially as we kept having to change our plans for the ceremony and reception due to Covid restrictions. David even drove down to DC to do our engagement photo shoot for us at a location that he hadn’t shot at previously, and was able to come up with great shot recommendations on the fly. At both the engagement and wedding shoots, he had a lot of really creative ideas and was clear and kind in giving directions, which made taking the photos easy.

David is very approachable and down to earth and we felt comfortable with him as soon as we met him, which made our photos look very natural. Cannot recommend them enough!

Gorgeous Photos!

David (and his assistant photographer as well as his wife Molly) worked really hard on our daughter and son-in-law's wedding day which was 10/5/19 at Springfield Manor. He and his team spent the day photographing the bridal party, the families, and then navigating the big crowd (200 guests) and capturing all the fun and special moments at the reception. Based on the "Sneak Peek" pics we received the day after the wedding, we are sure the rest of the photos are going to be amazing. Our daughter and son-in-law are thrilled with the initial photos. The colors in the photos really captured the people, outfits, surroundings, and flowers so beautifully! We can't wait to see the rest of the photos. David was also very patient and personable which made everyone he was photographing relax.

Beautiful pictures that will last a lifetime!

David and Molly were amazing! We loved working with them and they made both my fiance and I very comfortable and at ease while getting our picture taken. We used the pictures they took for our save the dates as well as our thank you/ holiday cards. Our engagement and wedding photos came out beautiful and we look forward to looking at them for years to come! We also used their photo booth as well and it was a perfect addition to our reception! Everyone had a great time taking photos and it made our wedding so fun! We are so happy we went with them, they were our favorite vendor from our wedding day and we cannot recommend them enough!

A Wonderful Experience Start to Finish

We used Spence Photographics for our July wedding at Thorpewood in Thurmont MD, and they did an absolutely fantastic job! We met Molly at a Thorpewood open house and we were really impressed by the beautiful photography examples and the carefully crafted albums and keepsake boxes they had on display. We set up a meeting with her husband Dave at their studio in downtown Frederick, and he patiently answered all of our questions. It was obvious that he was very familiar with our wedding venue and its most beautiful spots. Setting up an engagement session was easy. They were very flexible with dates, and Dave was willing to meet us in a place of our choosing, even if it was a bit of a drive from Frederick. We hadn't originally thought to do an engagement session, but it was included in our package, and was a really good opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera, especially since I tend to be camera shy. Throughout the process I communicated with Molly for scheduling and logistics. She was great, always very prompt to respond and easy to get ahold of. They also made it very easy to pay online, which was hugely convenient and very much appreciated. The day of the wedding Dave did a wonderful job capturing some really great moments. He was familiar with the venue, and the venue with him, which helped the day go smooth as clockwork. He had so much energy! We received a preview of images the week after the wedding (very exciting), and a full set of digital photographs a couple of weeks later. Later we received our beautiful keepsake box with select prints. From the sun dappled photos of my husband and I to the awesome action shots of our guests dancing, I am really going to cherish these images. To sum up, Molly and Dave were a pleasure to work with. They really paid attention to the little details. They were always friendly, kind, and fun to work with. We whole heartedly recommend them.

David and Molly were so wonderful to work with for our wedding this past August (2018). We were engaged for a long time and they keep in touch from the time we booked them for almost 2 years. They are super friendly and respond quickly with questions. Our photos turned out beautiful from both our engagement session and wedding day. He captured all the moments so well and we are so happy we got the opportunity to work with them!

David and Molly were both a pleasure to work with, with David taking absolutely breathtaking engagement / wedding photos and Molly working the Silly Station PhotoBooth during our reception (Our guests LOVED the Photo Booth, which we actually decided to add just 1 month before the wedding and they still accommodated that!). The engagement session was also so much fun at put us at ease for the wedding day. David’s ability to capture precious moments in such a natural, unforced way really made this whole process truly enjoyable. Not to mention, the abundance of beautiful photos that were taken throughout our wedding provide us with memories that we can treasure forever. Even though we didn't get a second shooter, David still captured everything we could have wanted and more! He has an easy-going personality and was very flexible with any special requests that we had. On the day of the wedding, he was on time and was able to capture everything in an efficient and prompt manner. He also does something cool that I’m not sure many photographers do, which is he’ll release photos in segments (like a “sneak peek” or “part one”) instead of making you anxiously wait until they’re all finished. Another thing to note is that throughout the entire process, Molly was quick to answer any questions or concerns we had (talk about peace of mind!). David doesn't just do weddings - our family was so pleased that some of us booked a big family photo session for late Winter and we plan to use Spence Photo for more future photos. Long story short: If you’re in the market for a photographer for any event, I highly recommend Spence Photographics!
One more thing...David and Molly are all around great people! From the beginning, they have sent us little meaningful trinkets and even sent us something for Christmas this year. They are so thoughtful.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about David and Molly! They were fun to work with, easy to contact and communicate with, and above all else, you could really tell they love their clients and their job. The engagement shoot was awesome (and included in the packages), and David had no problem working our dog into the shoot as well. My husband hates taking pictures, and he even wound up having fun with the session. Our wedding day wound up being a rain out, but that didn't stop us from getting some AMAZING pictures. David showed up with extra umbrellas and had no problem getting wet or muddy to get the perfect shots for us. We also included their Silly Station (which is run by Molly) and used the photos as our wedding guest book. They brought props of all sorts (David even asked us beforehand if we had any suggestions or wishes for the props) and all of our guests had TONS of fun with the photo booth. We only have our wedding sneak peeks so far; but everyone has raved about the pictures and said they were worth every penny. We would highly recommend David and Molly, and will definitely be using them for any photo needs in the future!

we can’t RAVE enough about Spence photographers! From the moment I contacted Molly and David, they were friendly, accommodating, personable, and so easy to work with. My husband and I are shy around the camera and they made us feel comfortable - most importantly, the shot’s they took were beautiful and I have had many many compliments on their work, both the engagement session and the wedding. Most notably, I must commend Dave for his flexibility - as our limo never showed up for the wedding, and without skipping a beat, Dave hopped in my dad’s pickup truck with myself and my dad and layed in the back helping us navigate to the service while under a ton of pressure. I can’t recommend this wonderful team enough. I will surely be going back to them for every photo session I need in the future. They also send adorable gifts along the way, adding stress relief and joy to a potentially stressful wedding planning process! 5 stars!

We could not be happier with David and Molly. David made our engagement shoot and wedding shoot fun and relaxing, and was always committed to making sure the experience and photos were exactly what we wanted. The photos are so beautiful. He really was able to capture our personalities and relationship, and he was amazing at picking on so many beautiful little moments throughout the whole day. Molly was wonderful to correspond with - she is so sweet, extremely responsive, completely on top of everything. Molly and David really make an effort to get to know their clients, which I think helped so much with their ability to tell our story. They also sent thoughtful little gifts a couple times throughout the year while we were planning. They are a really wonderful company, and I can't recommend them enough. We hope to use them in the future for family photos once we've added some kiddos to our lives :)

David and Molly were a fabulous team to work with. Our first in-person meeting was so informative and we appreciated David’s professional, chill, authentic demeanor. They were flexible when we changed our engagement session appointment at the last minute due to a rainy weather forecast, and even with my makeup melting off of my face and hair going wild because of the heat and humidity on the day we rescheduled our shoot for, David was able to work some kind of magic and capture AMAZING shots. Needless to say, our wedding day flowed so smoothly with David and Molly photographing formal and candid moments and keeping the Silly Station going all evening for our guests to enjoy. David had family members’ names ready to go when it was time for family photos and effortlessly directed our entire bridal party for photos so that the whole session was carefree and moved along efficiently. Also, as two people who aren’t crazy about being in the spotlight, David made us feel so comfortable, helped us remain present in the moment, and made the whole wedding day photo session fun. You can imagine how excited we were when we were on our way home THE NEXT MORNING and received our sneak peak already! We love every photo so far and can’t wait to see the rest! We highly recommend Spence Photographics!!

David and his wife Molly are absolutely amazing. I can't even count the number of guests who commented to me about how amazing our photographer was. One of our groomsmen told me that he had been dreading the picture taking part of the wedding and David made it quick, painless and fun. I highly recommend adding the silly station to your wedding. It was such a fun and interactive addition to our wedding and going through all the pictures the morning after was one of the highlights of my wedding weekend. Also the quick turnaround is such a treat. Within a few days of the wedding we had a sneak peak of a few of our wedding pictures that we could enjoy and share. I will certainly consider using Spence in the future for family portraits etc.

We are so happy we chose Spence Photographics for our wedding day! David and Molly take care of their clients from the initial consultation, to the engagement photo session, wedding day, and after receiving photos. They are very kind, easy to work with and responsive. What truly puts them over the top is their attention to the little details along the way and sending little gifts to make you feel important and valued! I cannot say enough great things about David's photography, he did an amazing job capturing such a special day. We have received so many compliments from friends and family on how much they love the photos. He has a true knack for capture all of the moments big or small. I would definitely recommend Spence Photographics for anyone looking to capture their special day!

Molly and David have been amazing through the whole planning process. They quickly responded to any questions we had and were there to help. There are a lot of pictures taken on your wedding day but they made it easy and fun. They knew exactly how to instruct us and our bridal party on good photo opportunities. All of our guests loved David!

We also booked the silly station and our guests went crazy. People were lining up so they could get a turn. It's such a good memory to be able to look at all those pictures.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Spences. They are not only talented and professional, but they were the most incredible people to work with! They went above and beyond! David braved some nasty weather for our engagement shoot and showed up with umbrellas! They sent us a package of coffee and a mug when we first booked with them to give us energy as we planned our wedding and a personalized Christmas ornament for Christmas. Leading up to the wedding, Molly wrote up a description of places to eat, shop, drink, and hike/bike in the Frederick area for my hotel bags. On the day of our wedding, Molly handled the Silly Station like a champ and David was like a superhero. I don't think he sat down once. He was switching between cameras on his leather straps so quickly, making sure to get the best shots. He captured every moment, but blended right in. The day after the wedding, he posted a sneak peek, helming to satisfy our need to see the images! When I first booked with them, I was a little concerned that they were over our budget, but now, I feel like they were the biggest steal of the wedding. We did not just book photographers, we booked two people who made our day that much more special and easy- that's priceless!

David and Molly were amazing to work with! We were able to customize our photography package with them and also opted for their fun photobooth. They were great about communication throughout the entire process and gave sweet gifts along the way. David made us feel at ease during our engagement shoot and the wedding day- even with our crazy windy weather! Our guests were impressed how he was everywhere taking pictures and loved playing in the photobooth. This duo was prepared for any hiccup during the wedding and we love the moments they captured!

To say I give Spence five stars would not do this company justice. In short, I can't imagine a reason that a couple WOULDN'T love Spence. My new husband and I are wallflowers at best, so the idea of having someone taking hundreds of photos of us was daunting. We went for our engagement shoot stomachs all a knot at Glen Echo Park in Maryland. We were comfortable from start to finish and felt at ease for our upcoming wedding day. We couldn't believe the pictures he captured! So beautiful!
When the day came, Spence shot our wedding at a venue that has not had a wedding before and with planners (us) who have never planned before. He was receptive and captured moments that I never would have been able to see had it not been for his pictures. Throughout the ceremony, I didn't even realize he was there, granted I was giggling like a school girl most of the time anyhow. Looking back on the pictures makes me remember the day so vividly and I love having perfect images of our newly joined families at our wedding reception. We opted for the photo booth, which created some comedic GOLD. And while we were so busy we nearly forgot to get in there ourselves, Spence came over and told us to get in there! I recommend that service as well, which was ran by his wife Molly. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, Spence!

We can't say enough good things about David and Molly! From our initial meeting to our wedding day, they made us feel so special and comfortable with the process. With the photographs being one of the only physical things you can take away from your wedding day, I spent a lot of time researching to find a photographer that would give us top notch photos. With Spence, the great images you see of other couples in their portfolio that they have photographed, is what you get! David has a real knack for capturing little candid moments that you didn't even know where happening and was equally skilled with guiding us in how to pose for certain shots (let's face it, we aren't models and needed some help with what would look good for photographs). From the moment we started our engagement photo session, I knew we had made the right choice, and it was confirmed again when we got those photos back, and then again on our wedding day! On top of the photos being awesome, we got images to view back very quickly in comparison to what I had heard from friends/family who got married and used other photographers. The day after our engagement shoot and wedding, we had a wonderful preview to look at (literally, not even 24 hours later)! And it wasn't too long after that before we had the blog to view and then all the photos! We couldn't be happier!

David and Molly are THE BEST! From the moment we met David at his office in Downtown Frederick, to the engagement session, and then all the way up to our wedding day, they were absolutely amazing! SO communicative and there work was phenomenal! They had me share my Pinterest page with them so they could see what photos I wanted the most and everything with them ran so smoothly on my wedding day. I highly recommend them as a photographer!

David and Emily were busy on the wedding day. I'm not sure how many pictures they took but every time I turned around they were snapping a photo of someone! The sneak peek they provided two days after the wedding left us wanting to see more pictures. They are very quick to respond to any questions and were wonderful to work with. We loved them, just very nice people!

When I chose a vendor for my wedding photography - I wanted to make sure the pictures would be AMAZING. The Spences delivered. David is so friendly and great at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. For our engagement shoot we went to Sugar Loaf mountain and a couple surrounding locations. David knew some great spots and the photos came out wonderfully. For our wedding, he and Molly worked together and the photos were again fantastic. There are some shots that I do not know how they got because I did not see them taking them - if you want photographers who will not look like conspicuous paparazzi ninjas in the middle of your wedding, this husband and wife team is who you need. I loved that they requested all the portrait line-ups before the wedding so no one was missed on our big day. They were also open to constructing our package exactly how we wanted it. A MAJOR BONUS is that you get all the rights to your photos so you can use them pretty much however you'd like without paying extra. Also they send super sweet customer appreciation gifts which we loved. Molly runs most of the back-end business and is super helpful and responsive. Overall, working with the Spences was a great decision and a fabulous value. I am so happy we found them and am looking forward to working with them again in the future!

David and Molly did a fantastic job photographing our wedding! Very responsive, kind, professional, and talented. They are great at making the process fun and relaxing, and capture wonderful candid photos throughout the event without being obtrusive in the slightest. We absolutely loved them, and the gorgeous photos they took. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the Baltimore/DC area!

My husband and I met David and Molly last year. They were photographing my brother and sister-in-law's wedding. We were very impressed with the work that we saw them doing. They interacted well with our families and all of their guests. I told my husband (fiancé at the time) that we needed to get their information and book them for our wedding. We booked them not too long after my brother's wedding. From the time we were planning on meeting to book our photography package until wedding day, David and Molly were there for us every step of the way. Answers to questions we had were done very quickly and they were both very flexible in any changes we made. Our wedding day was perfect! David did an amazing job capturing everything from our wedding. We also had the Silly Station which was a big hit! We loved all of the special gifts from Spence that we got in the mail!! When we saw our photos, we were so happy. They were beautiful! I am still constantly looking at our photos. I highly recommend Spence!!! They were AMAZING!!!

We loved Spence Photographics for our wedding photographer. Not only were they very friendly and easy to work with but our photos came out great!! They made us feel very special on our wedding day and we would recommend this team of photographers to our friends for their wedding day too! Time after time, they over delivered on everything they said they would do and more. Couldn't be happier with the outcome of the photos. Thank you Spence Photographics!

We were so thankful to have David and Spence Photographics as our photographer on our wedding day! We actually met him at another friend's wedding and we knew the moment we saw the pictures from her wedding that we couldn't imagine working with anyone else. We were so incredibly impressed with how easy going and professional David and Molly have been through the whole process. They were willing and happy to work with a slightly camera shy groom! Many people after the wedding commented on how wonderful David and the second photographer, Alison were (including a family member who is actually a wedding photographer!). As you can imagine we have worked with many people during this planning process and on the day of the wedding and they were by far the most amazing and professional. We have loved looking at all of the wonderful moments from our wedding that they were able to capture. These pictures will be treasured for many years to come. Hands down, we would HIGHLY recommend Spence!

David and Molly could not have been a better duo for capturing our Engagement Photos and our Wedding Day! We were lost when we started the hunt for a photographer, but quickly came across Spence photo and scheduled a meeting. Once my husband and I met with David - who couldn’t have been nicer and really took his time to get to know us/learn what we were looking for in a photographer - we knew he was our guy. We couldn’t have been happier with our engagement photos and flash-forward to our Wedding Day, David and Molly did the most amazing job. When we received all our photos it felt like we were there all over again and it was so great to see all the memories they captured. We loved their photojournalism approach, yet still got all the great portraits we would have wanted. Above and beyond our experience the day of, Molly was a dream to work with through the planning process and was very responsive. Molly and David even do some kind gestures throughout the process that were one of a kind (but we won't ruin the surprise!). They made everything super easy by having online portals for contracts, payment, planning and viewing our photos. We would certainly recommend Spence photo for anybody looking to capture their special moments in life and we hope to work with them again!

Molly and Dave were great to work with. They drove from Maryland to Pennsylvania to photograph our wedding. The work they do is the best I have ever seen and would highly recommend them!!! The final products were stunning and we absolutely love our pictures.

We are looking forward to using them in the future, perhaps for pregnancy pictures ;)

Working with Spence Photographics was easily one of the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. David and Molly are some of the nicest people I have ever met and they run a great business that really makes you feel valued as a client (and human). We love all of the pictures from both of engagement session and wedding day-- people can't get over how wonderful David was at the wedding and adore the beautiful pictures online. We would absolutely recommend Spence Photographics to anyone and look forward to being able to work with them sometime in the future.

We loved having David as our photographer! Our outdoor wedding day weather was anything but perfect (record rainfall), but from our sneak peek of our pictures, the farm where the wedding was held looks amazing! When David arrived on site, there was so much rain we weren't sure if we could even have the wedding that day-the tables were sinking into the ground and the grounds were flooding! But David was smiling and looking for good spots for pictures while all of this was happening! He was great to work with and fun. We even got the sneak peek of pictures just a few days after the wedding.
David and Molly are easy to work with and answer questions right away. We will definitely call David next time we need any photos. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

We are so happy that we had Spence Photographics for our reception! They were extremely flexible (it poured for the first half of the reception) and were such great sports. We also used their photo booth and our guests had a blast. Everyone is still talking about it! Very pleased with their work and service!

Spence Photographics are outstanding to say the least. First, the product is amazing. They captured our wedding day in incredible detail and style. It is rare to find a company that provides both extraordinary customer service that is infused with a genuine desire to provide the client with exactly what they envision and a professional talent that exceeds even the most lofty expectations. Spence Photographics accomplishes that. From the meeting and correspondence prior to the wedding, to the wedding day, and finally the communication after the wedding itself, we felt like the most important clients in the world. Everything is of highest quality and wrapped in attentive care. They rock. We will use them again for future family celebrations!

David and Molly Spence are a wonderful photography team! We found them through a friend who had Spence photograph their wedding. I remember we were sitting at our table during the reception and I noticed how David was capturing so many great moments, yet he did it so discreetly and gracefully. I nudged my fiancee (at the time!) and said, we should get his card. So we did and the next thing we knew, we were booking our photography package for our big day. David also took care of our engagement shoot, which was easy to schedule and coordinate. Our pictures turned out great too! Leading up to the big day, David and Molly were always available to answer our questions to help ease some of our planning stress. They were very accommodating as they allowed us to add the Silly Station to our package just weeks before the wedding. The Silly Station is a must! Another little perk was receiving surprise cards and small gifts in the mail :) David and Molly are absolutely the best in the business- our wedding photos were absolutely stunning and perfect. They have a secure link that leads you to view all of your photos at once, which makes it easy to select your favorites and ones you wish to purchase. We look forward to seeing them again at my sister-in-law's wedding in June! If you are looking for a photographer for any occasion, I highly recommend Spence Photographics!

My husband and I were so extremely pleased with David and Spence Photographics. From the first meeting to seeing our engagement and wedding photos we couldn't have been happier with our experience. We were planning the wedding out of state making things a little difficult but David was amazing communicating with us! We went through Spence Photographics for our Save the Dates and our Wedding invitations-both came out beautifully! David was great working with us through the entire process he really cares about his clients. Due to being out of state we had to take our engagement photos just 2 days before our wedding but David was great to accommodate us and our schedules. During the day of the wedding David and his crew we're fantastic. He was able to capture all the joy and happiness experienced on that day. We were so extremely pleased with all the photos. The hardest part of this entire process is deciding which photos we like best! I would absolutely recommend David and Spence Photographics to anyone in search of a great photographer!

We are having a hard time deciding which picture we was for our coffee table book because there are too many amazing photos! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day and David captured all of it, including the beautiful clouds in the sky and our awesome venue! We hope to work with David and Molly again for more photos in the future!

Dave and Molly are out of this world.
Leading up to the wedding, they couldn't have been more flexible with our timing. Coming from across the country, we didn't have time for a separate engagement shoot, so they worked around our schedule to make sure that we had some extra and very special pictures.
On the day of the wedding, we were floored with the energy, dedication, and professionalism that they both exuded. Every time we turned the corner, Dave was there, getting the best shot. Somehow he managed to shoot our ceremony from 360 degrees and up close without anyone noticing. I've never seen a photographer with that energy. They also knew the exact moments when to pull us away for special moments and when to let us just be the couple with our friends and family.
After the wedding, we we've been able to see the outcomes and have been thrilled with the results. The photos paint a picture, capture all the right moments, and are just aesthetically beautiful.
In addition, Dave and Molly have perfected the art of letting you know that they're thinking about you. Before the wedding, we received a "welcome" gift with some goodies and information about all that they offer. Since the wedding, we've received numerous packages with sneak peaks of photos while they were still being edited, cute little photo books, etc. They care about their couples and they show it through and through. We could not recommend them more :)

David (and Molly) were incredible. We were not only blown away by the photos, but they kept surprising us along the planning and after - with little mementos and gifts - that were not part of our contract - but were so incredibly sweet and thoughtful! We would recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer!

We are thrilled that we chose Spence Photographics for our wedding. David and Molly are extremely warm, kind, professional, talented, and dedicated! David really tries to get to know and capture your style as a couple. During the planning phase, they are quick to respond and very flexible; they really want you to be happy. They also offer great suggestions and guidance for the indecisive bride (that's me!). Throughout, communication with them is always clear and personal. At the wedding itself, David is everywhere and yet never intrusive. His work ethic is impressive- he doesn't stop for one minute! Many of our guests commented on how impressed they were with his dedication and overall presence. The Silly Station was a fabulous addition and produced some truly hilarious pictures we will treasure forever (worth every penny- trust me!). We have only seen the "sneak peek" photos of our wedding, and they are stunning. We can't wait to see the rest!!! We are so grateful to David and Molly for helping preserve so many memories of our wedding day. We would highly recommend Spence Photographics for their outstanding quality, value, and overall awesomeness.

We absolutely LOVE working with Spence Photo. Not only do they do fantastic work and beautiful photos, but they are wonderful people with very fun personalities. We kept saying throughout our engagement and even right after our wedding how much we love Spence Photo and that they are one of our favorite wedding vendors. Well worth the cost as they give you a ton of value for the price!

We LOVED David! Talk about a man who loves his job! Our wedding party was young and wild ! Lets just say he knew how to capture all of us in the moment. It was fabulous working with him on our rainy wedding day. The silly station is a MUST! I heard it was busy from the moment the reception started to the very end :) We are so excited to see all the photos from our special day and we have every bit of confidence in him that they will be absolutely perfect. Plus who doesn't love a man who wears chucks?!

David is awesome to work with. I loved our engagement photos and wedding photos. I liked that David and his assistant (who on our wedding day was Stefanie) got photos from some really neat angles and didn't crowd us or our guests during the ceremony. David gave some little tips when we needed them, but mostly let us go with the flow, which was really nice. He was also very responsive to making some tiny edits that I wanted. Most of all, David is just a really friendly, laid-back guy who made us so comfortable during our engagement session and our wedding day. I also shopped around for photographers a bit and found that Spence Photographics had much better pricing than competitors.

We love our photos and will cherish them forever!

David and Molly Spence of Spence Photographics (SP) were an absolute joy to work with for both our engagement shoot and our wedding. I really cannot say enough about them. Hands down, hiring them was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. Throughout the entire process SP was helpful, patient, encouraging and friendly. Not long after we booked them for our Fall 2013 wedding we had to change the wedding venue and the date. SP was extremely accommodating and patient with us as we went back and forth about different dates and different venues. We finally landed on October 12th and everything worked out perfectly! Their pricing is reasonable and they give you the flexibility to adjust your photo package to fit you and your day. Our engagement shoot was fun and laid back. David Spence met my fiancé and me in Baltimore City for an afternoon and we had the chance to take pictures in multiple parts of the city. For the wedding we booked the silly station, which was a HUGE hit with all of the guests. Everyone had an amazing time, and the photos were awesome! Molly Spence set up and supervised the photobooth at our venue; it was really nice having both of them there on the day of! Every step of the way, from getting ready in the morning, arriving at the church, the ceremony and the reception, SP captured unbelievable memories for me, my husband and our families and friends. We truly have amazing images from our wedding day, and it wouldn't have been nearly as fun without Spence Photographics! We were able to view all of our images online about two months after our wedding day and we received the final USB images about one month after that. David and Molly answered every question, comment or concern I had in a timely and friendly manner (even when I was pestering them for my final images, I was so impatient/excited to see them)! I would absolutely recommend Spence Photographics to friends and family, and we definitely plan to work with them in the future!

My husband and I truly enjoyed working with David Spence and having him capture amazing pictures from our wedding. He was always professional and seemed to always be available for communication. David captured our engagement session all the way in Ocean City, Md as that location was special to my husband and I as that's where we first met. Then for our wedding at Mt St Mary's in Emmittsburg, Md. The pictures from both events turned out so amazing and we were so happy with all of them. We were referred to David by our reception venue and so happy that we chose him to capture our special day! We would gladly recommend him to anyone!

David was wonderful to work with. If you are looking for somebody who is laid back, easy to work with, and artistic, David is your guy. We had some concerns when not everybody on our list (must take pictures) did not show up, but David kindly let us come view the untouched photos to find some relatives we were concerned about missing. The photos of the wedding showed how much fun the day was, not how well we could pose for pictures. I really appreciate that.

We had a great experience working with Spence Photo. They made it easy on us during the wedding prep time and David traveled all the way from Frederick to Annapolis on both Friday and Saturday of our wedding weekend and he was pleasure to have around with family and friends. Very easy-going - we were really able to enjoy the day without feeling like we spent a huge amount of time posing for photos. We also had the Silly Station booth which the guests really enjoyed. In the end we ended up with great photos for a nice value compared to the handful of other photographers we inquired with.

A wedding is a one-shot deal and a photographer only gets one chance to get it right. David Spence has a fabulous eye for composition and beautifully memorialized every important moment of the ceremony and the day that surrounded it. He quickly knocked out all the requisite formal shots and unobtrusively documented the joyous preparations as well as the celebrations that followed.

All three of those components required different skills and David Spence has them all. He could not have been easier to work with or to communicate with before the wedding and in the weeks that followed. His professionalism on all counts is more than we could have hoped for.

He met with our son and his fiance for a pre-wedding shoot in order to meet them and they could not have found it any more relaxed or enjoyable.

Thank you, David and Molly, for giving us exactly what we need to remember that very happy day in our family’s story. We will recommend you without reservation whenever we have the opportunity.

I helped my sister plan her wedding and recommended Spence Photographics right from the start of the planning. Molly and Dave are friends of mine from college and I've been lurking on their Facebook page and website for a while now, but had no reason to use their services...until this year! From initial contact all the way through to the final photos on the website, the service was top notch and easy. Dave was accommodating with our wacky schedules and geographic challenges and my sister and her now husband felt really comfortable right from the start. The images from the wedding are stunning and I can't figure out where Dave and his assistant were for half of them! They were discreet but managed to capture everything important. The candids are my favorite- they froze some special moments in time for me and my sister and I can't thank them enough for that. I've told everyone I know that they have to use Spence Photographics for the special moments in their lives- they won't be disappointed!

We started looking for a photographer the same time we started looking for the venue. It was actually at a venue that we were looking through a book, that was suppose to make us fall in love with the venue, but it made me fall in love with the photos instead. I made a mental note of the name and the little logo. Once we came home and looked through David’s blog, I knew we had to meet him. What I wanted most from our wedding photos was someone who would catch the little moments. Sure, I want the posed family photos- but those small glimpses; my soon-to-be husband laughing in his room before he’s getting ready, the emotion of the room when my father walked in and saw me in my wedding dress…that’s what I wanted more than anything. And I just didn’t see that anywhere else.
David was so easy to work with. He’s so nice, and he says “do your own thing” when you’re out on your engagement photos which put my (then) fiancé at total ease. It’s normal to feel awkward when someone’s snapping away at you- but David made us feel so comfortable! When he arrived on the wedding day it was like one of our friends had come-it was no big deal (thanks to the engagement session!). It goes without saying that the photos come out amazing- you can see that for yourself on his blog/website. I just want brides and grooms to know you would be hard pressed to find a more down to earth, easy to get along with, nice photographer who you will feel totally comfortable with, who will capture every single moment (we had so many small details at our wedding and I have photos of all of them!), and who is willing to do anything to make you feel great about your experience. He is officially our photographer for life. When we’re ready for babies- he’s getting a phone call!

David was a pleasure to work with. My husband and I were actually sad to say goodbye to him when the night was over! He was not only so professional, but also fun, easy going, and just a joy to be around. From the second we met David we knew we wanted to work with him. He shot amazing engagement shots for us and created gorgeous save the dates before our wedding. During the wedding, David was able to take many of the posed shots we requested while focusing on those candid shots that I so wanted during the reception, as well. I didn't even notice he was there half the time while he shot away! Also, did I mention it was the hottest day of the year? That didn't seem to bother David...he didn't miss a beat! And his silly station! My friends and family loved it. How fun! I am so impressed with David and you will be too. If you are searching for a wedding photographer that is professional, easy going, and the best in the business...well your search has ended...David is your guy.

David Spence doesn't just take pictures, he writes fairytales with a camera.

In the years before my October 2011 wedding, I visited Dave's blog to see his latest shoots, knowing that he'd be the only one I'd trust to photograph the biggest day of our lives.

His sheer talent, knack for detail, professionalism and fun personality makes him a pleasure to work with. From day one, you know that no matter what the journey leading up to the wedding holds, in the end, Dave will deliver the beauty and love that every bride envisions for their photographs. I cannot express to brides how important it is to not worry about what is arguably one of the most important parts of your wedding--wthe memories.

Brides always give the advice: take it all in, the day goes so fast, you won't remember the little things. And that is so true.
Well, with Dave's photos, you not only remember the little things--you find moments, emotions even, in your photos that you never knew you experienced amid the whirlwind of your wedding day. Next to how GORGEOUS the photos are, our family and guests commented most on how impressed they were that he didn't miss A THING.

Dave not only took our engagement shots, but designed our Save-the-Dates. People STILL are raving about those. Our wedding photos were the BEST many said they had EVER seen. Our photos made their way to the inbox of dignitaries , who wanted to know who this photographer was! People I don't even know have contacted me to receive his contact information.

He also designed our thank-you cards, which were a collage of our favorite wedding photos. So unique and beautiful, people are framing them!

In the end, we almost felt that we'd paid too little. He could easily, and deserves, to be one the biggest photographers in the Baltimore-Washington metro area., and his rates should compete with the biggest companies in the market. His packages are also GENEROUS in their options, when compared to other photographers (whose work is not as unique and vibrant, in my opinion.)

I'm most excited that our journey with Dave Spence is not over. He will be our family photographer forever. I can't wait for him to capture all of the other beautiful milestones we have ahead.

Great Pictures AND Great Price ... My now husband can tell you that wedding photography was something I really enjoyed looking into until I saw the expense of the photographers I liked. After a long search (probably the vendor category we meet the most vendors in) we enthusiastically decided on David at spence photographics. A-maz-ing. From the initial meeting to the last moments of the reception, David was exactly what I wanted in both communication as a client and picture style as a camera shy bride. He felt like one of the wedding party and best of all we love every one of our pictures!

Spence Photographics was, hands down, the best vendor I contracted for my wedding day! My husband and I met David Spence about 8 months before our wedding and we were initially impressed by his photojournalistic skill and ability to capture incredible wedding day moments that just looked so natural. My husband and I knew that we wanted a wedding photographer with a more photojournalistic approach, someone who would really capture candid moments and find unique and interesting ways to feature our bridal party without the standard awkward poses I've seen so many times. David did that and more and I can honestly say that our pictures from our wedding are above and beyond my favorite memories of our day.

Some of the aspects I liked the most about David's pictures and professional style include: the sharp and vibrant colors in the photographs; captured every little detail that we put into our wedding day up to the big moments like the first dances and cutting the cake with professionalism and taste, making sure he captured all the pictures that we wanted such as special pics with Grandmas and friends, gentle reminders throughout the day of what was coming up next, extremely flexible with choosing dates and locations for our engagement photo shoot, very responsive to email and phone calls and probably more that I just can't think of at the moment!

Every time we show pictures of our wedding to friends and family, we hear compliments to our photographer and how David really went above and beyond to capture incredible pictures of our wedding day (at one point, we was lying flat on the ground to get just the right angle for our first dance!) and so many friends and couples have asked for his information for when their special day comes.

The bottom line is you can rest assured if you book Spence Photographics for your wedding day pictures, he will do whatever it takes to give you stunning, beautiful, colorful, lovely wedding pictures to cherish forever.

Spence Photographics was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. David did an amazing job with the engagement photos (even on a cloudy and rainy day) and the wedding photos. I've gotten many compliments on the photos.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with David Spence during our wedding. The pictures turned out fantastic and he did an excellent job capturing all the special moments. David is a very talented photographer with an amazing eye for detail. We can't wait to see our wedding album that he's creating for us!! We both highly recommend him - he's worth every penny we spent.

Easy to work with, unobtrusive, willing to travel and he takes amazing pictures at a great price. We barely noticed David during the wedding and reception but the shots he got were amazing. He was really able to capture the magical moments of our entire day which was really important to us when we were researching photo-journalism style wedding photographers. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Absolutely professional and a wonderful person to work with! We could not have asked for a better person and photographer! David was so sweet and accommodating on anything and everything we asked for! He captured our beautiful day in ways that made us speechless when we saw the photos after the wedding! He made us feel so special and we really appreciated that! We loved him and will use him for many family portraits to come!! We will recommend him to everyone we know looking for a unique and talented photographer!

We were so thrilled with our wedding photos, and with David. It was a pleasure to work with him--from the beginning he was very easy-going yet professional, which definitely helped to make our wedding a less stressful event. He scouted out our venue ahead of time to find the best picture locations (a time-saver since it was outdoors on a farm), and many of our guests commented on how much they liked our photos--especially the candids--and the photographer. We also appreciated the fact that he was willing to design a package for us to suit our budget.

In short, David was simply great--we heartily recommend him!

David and Molly were absolutely amazing. Another one of our vendors suggested Spence Photographics. We are so glad we took her recommendation. From the moment we met David we felt at ease. We could tell from his professional but casual demeanor we would be in good hands. We received so many compliments after our wedding about how wonderful he was. He made sure that we didn't miss out on any photo opportunities we had discussed in our meetings and planning beforehand. When we received our prints after the wedding we were in awe of how many special moments he captured that hadn't been planned. The prints are absolutely beautiful and seeing them around the halls of our new home really brings back the magic of that day. We opted for one of the packages with an unbound album. It is beautiful and we will treasure it forever. Molly was really great about answering any questions we had beforehand and even after when I was in a rush to order prints for Christmas months later. We will definitely be using Spence Photographics for any future milestones and recommend them to any friends looking for their wedding photographer!

David and Molly are simply AMAZING. From the start, we loved that they are not cliched as we wanted unique and candid photos, not the typical formal/stuffy/unoriginal ones we saw from so many other photographers. David quickly picked up on our personalities and captured photos that reflect who we are. Our guests even remarked on how impressed they were that David was able to capture photos of little moments during our ceremony and reception that others may have missed. He is fun, personable, and talented, and he was such a pleasure to work with! We couldn't be happier with who we chose to capture our special day!

I cannot recommend Spence Photographics highly enough. If you’re looking for that mix of a fun, creative, highly affordable wedding photographer, David is your guy.

We inquired and met with a number of photographers who did beautiful work, but their prices were astronomical and they charged for every single extra or additional request, pricing themselves right out of our budget. There were also the very affordable photographers whose work lacked originality.

David really captures the warmth and love between his subjects, and we loved his use of color that just seemed to pop right off the screen. He was also very easy to work with and has a great sense of humor, which makes being in front of the camera for 8+ hours much easier to bear. In addition, we liked David's flexibility and felt that he would accommodate any last minute changes or requests we had and would do it graciously.

On the big day, David and his assistant/wife Molly were very prompt and completely unobtrusive. But make no mistake, they were working their butts off, as evidenced by the thousands of photos they took – nearly all of which were beautiful. Looking through them all later, we loved having a nearly minute-by-minute timeline of images from throughout the day. These are moments we might have otherwise never seen because as the brides, we were just so overwhelmed! We forgot things or missed things, but David made sure to capture it all.

David and Molly work like a well-oiled machine. They know exactly what needs to get done and they make it happen with absolutely no stress to the wedding party. Yet, they aren’t cookie cutter. Every photo is original and so expressive and behind every photo is David – a great photographer, working to capture the best and most beautiful moments of your wedding.

David and Molly provided exceptional service from the initial consultation until the final photos were delivered. They were kind, communicative, and professional throughout our time working with them, and they went the extra mile with numerous small gifts (for instance, coffee and a coffee mug after we signed our contract with them) to really make us feel special. Most importantly, the pictures turned out amazing! David has an incredible knack for catching all of the small, intimate moments that happen throughout the course of the wedding day. We couldn't be happier to have worked with Spence Photographics for our wedding.

David was great from the engagement pictures to the wedding. They were awesome at the wedding taking pictures that were amazing, totally leveraging off of the great venue. I would highly recommend Spence Photographics for any special moments you want captured. The silly station was a great addition to the reception! I will totally use them for future family pictures and recommend them to anyone else who needs a high quality photographer!

I loved working with both David and Molly of Spence Photographics. Their laid-back, down-to-earth personalities won me over along with the incredible pictures they capture. I never felt like they were trying to sell me something or pressure me into choosing their photography services. My husband and I were nervous about having our pictures taken during the photo sessions, but the photographer did a great job of directing us and keeping the mood light. Our wedding guests liked the fact that the photographer stayed in the background and was not even noticeable during much of the reception. They also loved the wedding pictures and still comment on what a wonderful time they all had.

One thing I didn't realize is that I would have to purchase engagement photos myself at $2-$3 a photo to display at the reception. I thought I would have access to the photos in order to make cheaper copies at CVS or RiteAid. The pictures looked great because they were high quality, but it was just an extra payment I hadn't planned for so close to the wedding date.

Dave did an amazing job every step of the way, from taking our engagement photos to shooting our wedding. I arrived late to our engagement session and Dave did not complain one time and the pictures came out amazing. As for our wedding, Dave went above and beyond. Aside from taking awesome photos (while managing to be invisible) he also helped fix a technical issue when our slide show presentation did not work. All in all, I highly recommend Dave for your photography needs. The only reason I gave less than 5 stars for responsiveness is because, like with any busy photographer, it can take a bit of time to get photos back or a sample of an album, etc., but even that issue is not bad at all.
