Wedding + Elopement Photography Booking
Welcome to my page about my pricing for wedding + elopement photography!
If you haven’t already, please visit my wedding photography style and approach page. This will help you decide if I’ll be a good fit for what you’re wanting.
When that is done, please take a moment to check out my calendar of booked dates to make sure I have your day available.
Then you’ll see my pricing information all included when you choose me as your official photographer. Please read all the information about what’s included and why.
Once that is done, it’s time to send your official inquiry message! You can use the form on this page or visit my contact page to start the process. I’ll then send you a personalized quote as soon as possible. It will have all sorts of useful information to help you and your partner make this important decision!
If you want to book, we can then set up a consultation via a phone call or Zoom. This will help us get to know each other, answer any questions you may have, and take care of all sorts of important details.
To book your date, a signed agreement + a retainer of, typically, 1/4 of the package price would be required. Payments are usually based on a 120 Day-60 Day-Wedding Day schedule.
I’ll happily put your date on the calendar and brag about the two of you once I receive the retainer and agreement. We’ll then talk regularly about creative ideas, scheduling, and the important details leading to your big day!
Full Coverage for Your Wedding + Elopement Day – No Time Limit
Please read this section carefully as my coverage approach for your wedding or elopement celebration might be a bit different from other photographers.
I offer all couples a full day’s coverage of their celebration, which means I do not operate with an established time-limit. You give me a start time, and I’m there until all the events of the reception have been documented.
My pricing is based on you booking the day for your wedding or elopement celebration along with my years of experience, the customer service I”m providing, and other factors. This is why I do not offer “by-the-hour” pricing even if you only need a few hours of coverage. I understand this might price me out of your budget, but I do hope you understand the value applied to this approach.
I’m committed to you for the entire day, not just 6 or 8 hours or some other pre-determined limit, because your entire day is important to me.

Testimonials
David is not only an incredible photographer but a kind and events-experienced person. Having him in the loop during planning and around on our wedding day made everything low-stress and kept us on schedule. He always listened to our wants and added such great shots along the way- even in our less-than-traditional situations. He’s just the best! Our photos were back in two days and public pages he sets up made it so much easier to share with family and friends. We cannot recommend him enough!!
-Alex + Jeff
David was an amazing photographer for our small elopement. He captured the beauty of the area and our special moment perfectly. He was professional and very helpful, the experience was a joy and I would highly recommend him to anyone!
–Kayla + Brady
David is a fantastic photographer and was so easy to work with. We had a small wedding and reception in the SF Bay Area, and we found it hard to find wedding photographers who catered to smaller events and had the flexibility we wanted until we found David. He was extremely communicative during the planning process and, during the event, did a great job handling some of our family members that are less comfortable in front of the camera. The photos he took of us are stunning and he absolutely captured the happiness and energy of the day. We can’t recommend David enough!
–Sharon + Alex
David did an amazing job with our small wedding in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. The photos are so wonderful the hardest part has been choosing which ones are my favorite for printing. He was so lovely and got the photos back so fast. Cannot recommend him highly enough, and the services he provides for the price cannot be matched.
-Gabrielle + Jackson
David has an incredible ability to make your vision come to life. We eloped on the coast of Maine, and David made it easy to photograph at many different locations. He was very thorough and did not shy away from capturing the absolute best photographs. He is so talented!
-Sarah + Owen
We chose David as our photographer based on his photos he had posted. We loved the rustic, earthy tone to his photos. David did not disappoint. His communication was great, he was professional and he had everything timed out perfectly. To top it all off, his photos were unbelievably beautiful. We were so thankful David was available for our wedding.
-Elizabeth + Jeffrey
“Got married in January 2023 and had David as our photographer. He was so professional, courteous, and helpful throughout the entire process and all of the pictures turned out so much prettier than we could’ve ever imagined! Would recommend David 15/10!!”
-Brooke + Evan
“David was exceptional in more ways than I can express in words. I happened upon a landing page he had made in search of a Salem wedding and lo and behold, I was having a Salem wedding. I fell in love with his photos online and booked him 11 months before my wedding. First and foremost, photography is the most important part of a wedding for myself and my now husband. So we did not take this decision lightly. I am elated to say 3 days after my wedding, it is the best decision we made for the wedding. David was SO communicative over the 11 months, doing random check-ins and holiday outreach. He was excellent at planning our photos ahead of time and on the day of, was the most personable, knowledgeable, and efficient person I’ve ever been around. He is SO caring, and committed, and put me at ease. We spoke about him more after our wedding than anything else!! Dare I say…we might actually miss him!!! Our photos were ready 3 days after the wedding and are literally stunning. We have not even been able to breathe since we got them. Long story short, I’d get married again just to see David, but I recommend anyone looking for a photographer to book him immediately.”
–Michelle + Tommy
“David was so amazing to work with. His communication was very clear and was quick to respond. He was also on time with everything and made sure to stick to a schedule. Where I live is rainy a lot he made sure to take pictures outside when the sun popped through. Everyone that met him at the wedding said how nice he was and I have nothing but good things to say about him. I absolutely love the pictures he took and we got them back fast! I would 100% recommend him to anyone!”

“David did such a wonderful job on our engagement and wedding pictures. He made sure to take the time to capture all the shots we wanted, plus more! He is so quick with getting your photos back to you (I mean unbelievably quick), and his editing style is BEAUTIFUL! If you are stuck between photographers please look no further. David is amazing and I will recommend him to anyone and everyone! You will not be disappointed with his work at all!!”
