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! More...

We originally found Spence Photography through a family portrait special in 2010 and now we wouldn't go anywhere else! David takes our family pictures every year and they are amazing each time. He can definitely work his magic too since we have three little boys and to get good pictures with three small children is amazing. He is great with locations, poses, lighting and couldn't be more fun to work with. More...

David was so sweet and a great photographer! We had our wedding on a hot June evening and David, along with his second shooter, Emily, were such troopers! They constantly asked if we were okay and asked what we would like to do next. So sweet! :)
My husband and I have loved David's photographs from the very first moment we looked at his portfolio. his attitude along with his ability to find and frame the perfect shot make selecting them to be our wedding photographers the easiest decision.:) More...

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! More...

We hired Spence Photographics back in May 2015 for our wedding and absolutely loved working with David and Molly. I recently reached out to David and Molly again to create our wedding album for me as a Christmas gift for my husband. We were already thrilled with the professionalism and quality of our wedding photos and now I am pleased to say we have a beautiful wedding album that we will cherish for years. Thank you Spence Photographics!! More...

When looking for a stateside reception photographer after our destination wedding,I was referred to Spence Photography. We reached out to Molly and David via email and first met David in his studio in Frederick. The space is so super cool that I wanted it to be apart of my house. It was this cool industrial space that makes you say “whoa this place rocks!” David completed a custom quote for us since we didn’t need a full day photographer and we found it very fair. Payment was easy over their website and Molly was great at communicating with us about timeframes for everything. We scheduled David far in advance. After we secured our date, we received a coffee mug and a small bag of coffee in the mail to say thank you. I loved the personal touch. It made my day. Then at Christmas time we received a tree ornament with both our names and est. year. Again, super cute awesome thoughtful idea. Tha day of the event, Molly and David were at the location well before the scheduled time and stayed well after when they should have. My guests loved them both and their photo booth that they brought with them. I would work with them again in a heartbeat. As a matter of fact, I have a professional event coming up and are using Spence again! Last, but not least, several weeks after our event, we received an adorable USB drive in the mail with all of our images. We love David and Molly. They are genuinely fantastic people:) More...

We worked with David and Molly for our December 2015 engagement photos and wedding. They were amazing and a true joy to work with. Both David and Molly exceeded our expectations. Before we booked with them, they took the time to FaceTime with us to get to know each other better and answer any questions. On our wedding day they were flawless. Every other vendor complimented them on how easy they were to work with. The photos David delivered from both our engagement session and wedding day were goregeous. We truly could not have been happier or chosen a better team to capture these incredible moments for us. We hope to work with them both again in the future. More...

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! More...

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. More...

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! More...

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 :) More...

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!

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.

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.

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! More...

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! More...

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! More...
