Capturing moments of your day

Hi, I'm DAVE! Your wedding photographer & professional third wheel
Hi, I’m Dave — DC wedding photographer serving Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
I believe that when emotion is met with intention, it becomes something truly timeless. I don’t just photograph how your wedding looks — I pay attention to what it feels like.
The quiet moments.
The in-between glances.
The people who matter most.
We approach photography as storytelling rather than documentation.
We are drawn to honest connection, quiet emotion, and the moments that unfold naturally—the nervous anticipation, the soft glances, and the laughter that can’t be staged.
Through guided movement, intentional use of light, and a calm, intimacy-focused approach, we create imagery that feels cinematic, heartfelt, and deeply personal.
