Staying busy with my uber talented friend Tom Forrest.  We shot Brooke and Chris’s wedding as part one of a double weekend.  Coincidentally, we were at the exact same venue the next night.  Great couple and a great wedding.

John LaPlante: David, stellar! I love these images...what a wonderful series of a beautiful couple...they were lucky to have found you.

Eric and Tania were married in Cleveland, Ohio on a BEAUTIFUL spring day.  This wedding had a mix of just about everything but what struck me most was some of the excellent music and dancing.  Also, my first experience with a bride and groom up on a chair!  Congratulations to my friends Eric and Tania and also a big shout-out to rock star photographer Tom Forrest for all of his help covering this great wedding.  Check-out the GALLERY BY CLICKING HERE!

Wedding | Ryan and Laura

September 15, 2009

Last weekend I had the opportunity to photograph Ryan and Laura’s wedding.  A few years ago I did Ryan’s sisters wedding and had a great time.  It is always nice having a relationship going into the wedding.  It was a fabulous time and Ryan and Laura and their families had a lot of nice touches.  Both knew exactly what they wanted from their special day and it definitely worked-out perfectly.  For a few OF MY FAVORITE IMAGES CLICK HERE!
