You’re not just planning a wedding — you’re planning one of the most meaningful days of your life. And while beautiful photographs matter, how your day feels matters even more. When you work with us, you're getting more than a photography team.
When you work with us, you're getting more than a photography team. Our studio manager will be there for you throughout the entire process, helping with locations, timelines, logistics, and all the little details so you never have to figure everything out on your own.
On your wedding day, our lead photographer will guide you naturally in front of the camera, keep the timeline on track, and make sure everything runs smoothly without ever making the day feel rushed or staged. His approach blends editorial direction with genuine emotion, creating photographs that feel effortlessly beautiful while still preserving the candid moments that truly tell your story.
Meanwhile, our second photographer is focused on the moments you may never even see happening — your father quietly wiping away tears before the ceremony, your friends cheering as you walk down the aisle, your grandparents holding hands during dinner, and all the in-between moments that become some of the most meaningful memories.
Our goal is simple: to help you feel cared for, fully present, and free to enjoy your wedding day while we take care of everything else.

Photography services
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.
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.
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.

Time to have some fun in front of the camera!
Your engagement session is about more than beautiful photos. It's our chance to get to know your story, understand your vision, and see how you naturally connect as a couple.
We'll bring your inspiration to life while helping you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. By the time your wedding day arrives, you'll know exactly what to expect—and you'll be able to fully trust us to document your story beautifully.
Your First Chapter
STEP 03.
Before your wedding, we'll sit down together and build a photography timeline designed around your priorities, your venue, and your vision for the day.
From family portraits and sunset photos to the quiet moments in between, we'll help create a schedule that flows naturally and leaves room for you to actually enjoy your wedding day.
Because great wedding photography isn't just about beautiful images—it's about creating the space for real moments to happen.
Timeline planning
STEP 04.
The wedding day is finally here.
Everything we've planned together comes to life. From the moment we arrive, our team is focused on one thing: helping you enjoy every second of your day. You don't have to worry about the timeline, logistics, or what comes next. We'll take care of that. Your job is simply to be present and celebrate with the people you love most.
While you're living the day, we'll be documenting it all: the big moments you expect and the quiet ones you never saw happening.
Your wedding day
STEP 05.
The story doesn't end when the wedding day does.
Within a few days, you'll receive a collection of sneak peeks, followed by a thoughtfully curated gallery edited entirely by hand.
We believe every wedding deserves its own visual identity. Rather than relying on automated edits or one-size-fits-all presets, each image is carefully refined to reflect the light, colors, and emotions that made your day uniquely yours—while staying true to the timeless Lavish style our couples love.

laender & lynn
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.
KIND WORDS
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.
When is the best time to book?
I do not send unedited images. The images you receive from your shoot will be edited in my unique style. I take my time on all images and consider them my work of art. Please take this into consideration before booking!
Will we receive unedited images as well?
Within 3 to 4 weeks you will receive the photos through your own password protected online gallery. For weddings, you will receive a detailed preview within 5 business days.
When will we receive the images?
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!
