MEET dave

hello there

My love for photography began in high school where I started out rolling my own film as well as developing it in a dark room. The magic of watching these images appear has stayed with me ever since. Though I hail from Northern Virginia, I came to the Tidewater area to attend college. Meeting my future wife who was born and raised in Virginia Beach and now teaches here, I have never left this beautiful area. Now, we are raising our daughter here.

Having been in the business for 15 years has given me many opportunities to immerse myself in the Hampton Roads community. I have shot events and lent my talents to local as well as national non-profits, including the SPCA, National Cancer Society, For Kids and many others. Likewise, as an industry expert, I have taught wedding photography across the country as a coach for the After Dark Project. Being featured in Professional Photographers of America magazine as well as winning the Kodak Gallery Award for Wedding Album design have been two of the highlights of my career. To date, I have photographed over 400 weddings across the country, and I look forward to doing many more in the years ahead.

Let me have the opportunity to work with you!
