If you like a photographer who responds extremely fast, is professional, calm and can handle 4 kids at 7am in 5 ft of snow for pictures - I swear they will thank me for one day - then David is your man! Our family photos came out so beautiful. David captured the beautiful winter in Lake Tahoe and our family forever. David was so kind to our family. He was flexible and was conscience of our time being on vacation and working with our schedule. We had communication via email, phone and text and all the ways he was fast, professional and relaxed. I need a photographer to be relaxed because I am always stressed out trying to coordinate 6 peoples outfits and hoping all my kids behave for 30 min and we get one picture where we are all smiling and looking at the camera. Thanks for giving us a forever memory David! More...

David was wonderful to work with! He took the photos for our elopement at Emerald bay, he stayed out with us until it was getting dark, and just continued to take pictures of us from all angles. What I love about David's work is that he really has an eye for catching the emotions of the moment! He managed to catch beautiful images for us and We have such beautiful memories of our perfect day made all the better by David's work! Definitely highly recommend! More...

I planned a last minute trip to Tahoe for me and my wife and I wanted to surprise her with a maternity photoshoot. We only had one day that would work for us. David was booked for another event that day but was kind enough to accommodate us in the morning before his other event! From the get go, communication was easy and David was very responsive and professional. I am not too familiar with the South Lake region, especially for photoshoots so David had recommended a list of places he thought would work out nicely for the time of day we would be doing our photo shoot. The venue he recommended for us was perfect and we also went early per his recommendation before it got busy and for the best lighting. My wife and I both felt very comfortable during our photoshoot and I was even able to toss in a couple silly photos.After the photoshoot David remained in communication with us, updating us on when the gallery would be available. He gave us a few previews for us the following week and had us our full gallery in about 2 weeks! Perhaps we will book again when our baby arrives!Thanks David! More...

Working with David was a dream. We booked a last-minute photo session with extended family. The response time was fast and consistent, and David was really understanding when an unexpected emergency came up and was flexible all day while we waited to see if it could resolve in time to take the photos. He made it clear he could work with us and was really understanding. Overall, both in the scheduling and the session, David's manner was really kind, laid back, and professional. Best of all, the photos came out stunning. It was the first time since Covid our entire family could be together, and we were so glad to have the memories. He made us feel comfortable as we posed ourselves but his gentle suggestions and choice of placement of the light made each one a gem. The images look really natural, intimate, and fun. He even made our crying toddler smile! The rates were very reasonable and his turn-around time was quick and within the timeframe he noted. I would highly recommend working with David at Go West Foto. More...

Go West Photo compares in professionalism and skill to all the pros I've worked and collaborated with in NYC, LA, UK and Europe. The quality of David's work is clean, delicate and dynamic and his timing to capture authentic moments is such an important skill paralleling his ability to create a relaxing open space for capturing impactful photos. I enjoyed so much working with David not only because he created amazing photos for me but really was a humble and friendly person to be around which is paramount for the best photographer-subject and client relationship.

Both times he has been very accommodating and easy to communicate with to plan time, which isn't the easiest trying to coordinate everyone's schedules. He arrived early and scouted the house and suggested taking pictures in the back by the trees in addition to our suggestion of one by the lake, and the shots by the trees were great. Had all the pictures online within a couple days and sent us the link. Hope to use David again next time we are in Tahoe! More...

I hired David as a videographer for my wedding that took place in June 2017. I just want to say that he is fantastic to work with because he replies to his emails promptly, updates you through his process, and submitted his work to us in a timely manner. It took him about 3-4 months to finish the final video which was absolutely wonderful - he did an amazing job with capturing the beauty and feelings that took place throughout our special day.There was a moment during my maid of honor's speech that I wanted him to include. I emailed him right away when I remembered and he was able to edit it in and had the best placement for it. For our wedding, the two things I invtested the most in were photography and videography. I also was living in southern California, so I was really nervous about hiring people in Tahoe while I was in SoCal. I found David on Yelp and I have no regrets with choosing David as our videographer as he is extremely professional and did an overall lovely job. If you are still looking for a videographer (or a photographer as I am sure he does a wonderful job with that as well) and David is available, don't hesitate to book him because you will not be disappointed!

My husband and I eloped to Lake Tahoe and needed a videographer so we could share the special occasion with family and friends. David responded immediately and offered a few video options so we could choose the best one for our ceremony. He was there early on the day of our ceremony, helped place and direct us, and he truly captured the moment for us forever. The video quality and sound is outstanding!
