Highly personal service at reasonable prices. I give straight up front pricing, no required "up charges". I deliver the end product sooner than the industry average. I believe my reviews and recognitions / awards, speak fondly as to how I operate the business.

David did my photos for my speech in Chandler, Arizona at the Arizona Leading Age Conference & Expo! He was very nice, professional, and understanding of my wants and needs! His prices are reasonable too! Highly recommend him and will use him again if I ever have another event in the area! More...

David photographed our wedding and made a video as well. He was very helpful coordinating over email as we were planning our wedding from out of state. When we decided to add video to our plan a few weeks out, we appreciated that he agreed to adjust the plan and pricing. I was very happy with the photos from that evening- David sent a folder with 200 images as well as a thoughtful wedding video. It only took him a few weeks to put that all together. The editing made us look great but still felt natural. As a one-man team, David does an excellent job capturing special events. I would recommend hiring him for your event. More...

David’s professionalism is absolutely top-notch. He is, without a doubt, the best photographer I’ve ever met. His passion and commitment to his craft truly shine through in every shot. The photos from my wedding turned out nothing short of amazing—each one capturing the emotion, joy, and beauty of the day perfectly. Not only is David incredibly talented, but he also has a warm and uplifting presence. He truly put a smile on my face and helped make my wedding day even more special. I’m beyond grateful for his work and will definitely be hiring him again in the future. Highly recommend! More...

Hi Miguelito, thank you very much. That was an adventure, certainly not the normal wedding. Really enjoyed working with you. Having just a small group allowed us to interact and react quicker.

Not sure what method was used to develop the photos, but wife and I were only satisfied with a handful of the photos. The faces on most of the photos looked badly distorted. Some of the photos had dark spots (wife’s dress, bridal suite). We were on a budget, but somehow everyone else that took photos on their phone turned out more clearer. Wish we could have gotten more clear bridal suite and general photos. Pro was accommodating, and prompt. More...

David provided videography services for our daughter's wedding back in August. I wanted to make sure we finally gave him a great review because he deserves it! I absolutely recommend David for videography!! Long story short, I had previously hired someone for videography that I knew & was given a great deal that I wouldn't get anywhere else. However, they stopped communicating out of nowhere about a month before the wedding. As I tried not to panic, I started getting other quotes, and most people weren't available that quick on a Friday. I got on Thumbtack and came across David. I'm so thankful I got on Thumbtack and reached out to him. The biggest thing was that he was available with 3 weeks notice and he doesn't rip people off. He gave us a GREAT deal to cover the ceremony + reception, which were in two different (nearby) locations. We are a veteran family, and I love supporting veteran businesses. Secondly, David was so friendly and approachable. My husband liked him as well and commented on his professionalism and friendly conversation. Last but not least, he has top notch communication which was what we really needed. I highly recommend him for your next event! David, thank you for everything! You really made it possible to capture our daughter's beautiful day on video and I only wish we had found you sooner for our other daughter's wedding. P.s. photographer captured you having a good time as well LOL! More...

We chose to go with David, and as he contacted us immediately with an availability due to a cancellation. He was also able to provide the most affordable price we’ve seen thus far and we are extremely excited to be working with him. Most photographers were so pricey we were going to forego one all together but David saved the day. Can’t wait until our event tomorrow 🤗 More...

Thank you very much Diana. You were quite elegant in your speech. The added bonus for myself was the ability to get some valuable information.

David is a very kind guy, he does so much all on his own. He was setup well ahead of the ceremony with multiple tripods that after watching the ceremony really captured all the good angles.
He was able to get little interviews of everyone before the ceremony and seeing the excitement on camera before the event is really special cause that's the last time you'll see yourself after you're married. We really appreciated everything he did for us and we hope you will too.
