Davenport, Iowa Wedding + Elopement Photography

Thanks for visiting! My name is David A. Smith, and I’d love to photograph your intimate micro-wedding + elopement celebration in the beautiful location of Davenport, Iowa, or the nearby Quad Cities communities of Bettendorf, Rock Island, Moline, and anywhere throughout Iowa and Illinois!

Giving couples dreamy cinematic-style photography is something I’ve had the pleasure of doing since 2010. I’m also happy to provide couples with photos shot DIGITALLY AND ON FILM!

Most importantly, though, I want to make sure you have a wonderful experience on what should be one of the happiest days you’ll ever have.

Why I Love Davenport, Iowa Weddings + Elopements

While I have photographed lots of big weddings over the years, what I really enjoy doing most is photographing small and intimate micro-weddings and elopements.

This is because the couple can really focus on what’s important, their love for each other, and spending time with those that are special to them, instead of having to worry about a million things at once.

That’s why I’d love to document your intimate micro-wedding or adventurous elopement in Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, Moline, or anywhere throughout the Quad Cities area, Iowa, and Illinois.

I want to focus on you and your partner while also making sure you have an absolutely wonderful day.

A Full Day’s Coverage for Your Davenport, Iowa Wedding + Elopement

Ever since I started doing wedding + elopement photography professionally in 2010, I’ve wanted to tell the entire story of my clients.

That means I will not impose a time limit on your wedding + elopement day.

You give me a start time, and I’m there until all the events of the day and/or reception are covered.

Because I’m devoting my attention to the entire day, and am usually traveling to document your celebration, I cannot offer pricing by the hour. Everything is based on a full day’s coverage, regardless.
