THE LAVISH EXPERIENCE
- Ju
We couldn’t be happier with our experience with our photographer. He photographed both our engagement and wedding, and each and every step was truly memorable. He is incredibly genuine, kind, and so easy to work with.
“We highly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares.”

Couples & Engagements
Some of the most meaningful photographs aren't always the ones of just the two of you. They're your parents seeing you for the first time. Your grandparents holding hands during dinner. The traditions your family has carried for generations.
Those are the moments we look for just as intentionally, because years from now, they'll become part of your family's story - not just your wedding gallery.
Rooted in family & heritage
Every part of your experience is thoughtfully designed so you can enjoy your wedding instead of managing it.
Before the wedding, we'll help you build a timeline, recommend locations, answer questions, and make sure every detail feels clear and organized.
When the day arrives, you'll never have to wonder what comes next. You'll simply be present with the people you love while we quietly take care of everything happening behind the scenes.
Tailored with intention
No two wedding days are ever the same, because no two love stories are.
Before we ever pick up a camera, we want to understand what matters most to you - the people, the moments, and the feeling you hope to remember years from now. On your wedding day, Dave isn't chasing perfect poses. He's watching for the quiet glance across the room, the deep breath before you walk down the aisle, and the moments that happen naturally when you feel comfortable enough to simply be yourselves. Because the photographs you'll treasure most won't just remind you what your wedding looked like - they'll remind you exactly how it felt.
Emotion-first storytelling
Our brand values
Use this space to introduce the love stories you’ve already captured. Highlight the joy, emotion, or connection you witnessed, so potential clients can imagine their own wedding being told in the same way. Remind them that each story is unique, and that your portfolio is proof that no two celebrations ever look - or feel - alike.

Dawon
Dave is an incredibly talented photographer with a remarkable knack for capturing and editing stunning images.
Given that a wedding is one of the most significant events in life, I took the time to find the perfect photographer. When I explored his website, I was genuinely impressed by his unique photography style. The results exceeded my expectations, so I decided to print several photos to display around my home. Each time my family experiences a special moment, I reach out to him without hesitation.
To date, I've enlisted his services for five sessions, including family portraits and a one-year birthday shoot for my baby. I always come away thrilled with the results.
"I find him to be a kind and thoughtful person, which shines through in the warm and beautiful photos he creates."

My wife and I cannot recommend Dave and his team highly enough. We first found them on Instagram and immediately fell in love with their photography style, especially how they incorporated the beauty of Washington, DC's monuments and historic landmarks.
They photographed both our engagement session and wedding, and the experience was incredible from start to finish. Dave made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and our engagement photos at the Capitol and Jefferson Memorial exceeded every expectation.
It felt less like working with a photographer and more like having a trusted friend capture our memories.
"When we received our gallery, it felt like reliving the entire day through a beautifully told story."
Their
experience
Our team is based in Washington D.C. and serving Maryland, Northern Virginia and destinations beyond.
We love traveling for love stories and meaningful moments. If your wedding takes place somewhere special, please reach out and we'll be in touch shortly.
1. Where are you based? Do you travel?
Securing your date is super simple - and exciting, because it means we’re making things official!
I ask for a $75 (session) or 50% (wedding / elopement) retainer to confirm your photo shoot or date. Once I have received the retainer payment, your date is secured!
2. How do we secure our date?
You’ll get a little sneak peek within 5 business days - just enough to relive the magic and share a few favorites with your loved ones!
Your full gallery will be ready within 6 to 10 weeks, beautifully edited and delivered in a private online gallery for you to enjoy, download and share.
3. When will we receive our photos?
I don’t deliver unedited images. Every photo you receive is carefully selected and edited in my signature style, which is a big part of the final result you’re booking me for. I take my time on all images and consider them my work of art. Please take this into consideration before booking!
4. Will we receive unedited images as well?
For sessions, I recommend booking at least 2 - 3 months in advance.
For weddings it's best to book ASAP! I always say the earlier the better so that I can guarantee your wedding date is still available.
5. When is the best time to book?
Absolutely. If I ever get sick or have an emergency, no worries - I have a trusted network of professional wedding photographers I can call on, all with a similar style and approach. You’d still be in great hands, and I’d make sure the transition is as smooth as possible. Your day is far too important to leave to chance!
6. Do you have a backup plan in case of illness or emergency?
