From the nervous anticipation of your first look, to the laugh that came out of nowhere, to the quiet glance nobody else caught — your day is full of everything worth remembering.
Not just the two of you, but everyone who loves you. The tears on your mother's face, the pride in your father's eyes, the friends who've been waiting for this day just as long as you have. Every moment of love in that room deserves to be preserved.
You deserve images that bring you back to exactly how it felt, not just how it looked. All of it captured with intention, so you can remember and share every kind of love that filled the room that day.

Hi, I'm DAVE! DC Wedding Photographer & Your Professional Third Wheel
meet your Photographer
Korean Wedding photographer in Washington, DC Serving Maryland, DC, Virginia & wherever your love goes
Genuine feeling, editorial imagery,
effortless experience,
Forever Framed
I believe that when genuine feeling is met with intention, it becomes something timeless. Not simply a photograph, but something you can return to years from now and still feel.
I want your experience to feel effortless. I guide when needed, create space when needed, and move through your day with quiet intention so you never feel like you're performing for the camera. Instead of focusing only on how your wedding looks, I pay attention to how it feels. The in-between glances, the people who matter most, the moments you never realized were happening.
Through intentional light and guided movement, I create editorial imagery that feels honest, emotional, and deeply personal. As a Korean wedding photographer based in Washington DC, serving couples throughout the DMV and beyond, I create imagery that captures genuine feeling while still feeling elevated, timeless, and true to your story.
Because your wedding photographs should do more than document a day. They should preserve a feeling.

He was very flexible with our input and even gave us more time to ensure that we got all the photos we could want! We also needed lots of help with posing, so Dave gave great directions and was very patient with us. Even in the smaller ways he's been very helpful, such as bringing some fake flowers we could use to pose, or helping to move tables or carry our bags. His attention to detail and kindness are second to none. We got the first batch of photos back recently and they are absolutely beautiful. We're super excited to have Dave work our wedding and would absolutely recommend!

I cannot recommend Dave and Lavish Photography enough! From start to finish, the experience was incredible. We are a bit camera-shy, but Dave immediately made us feel comfortable and did a great job of guiding us through poses. The session was so enjoyable, and it was such a special and memorable experience. Dave also has such an incredible artistic vision. We just received our gallery, and every photo is absolutely stunning. I will cherish these photos forever, and I am so grateful for the care, creativity, and hard work that went into capturing them so perfectly. Thank you, Dave, for such an amazing experience!

not just to how it looked, but to how it truly felt.
