ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE PHOTOGRAPHER - Google Review

…The entire experience was easy, fun and BEAUTIFULLY done! Our photos came out absolutely stunning. They captured the joy, love, and emotion of the moment in a way that we will treasure forever.

DAVID IS BY FAR THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER we’ve worked with. Not only is he incredibly creative and skilled behind the camera, but he’s also an absolute pleasure to be around. His editing is top-notch, and he truly knows how to bring every shot to life. I highly recommend David—his work speaks for itself!  -Google Review

• To make sure YOU feel comfortable, and have a blast during your photography session.  
• To honor how light and shadow reveal the very best, natural-looking picture of you.  
• To deliver gorgeously edited photos really fast, usually 2-3 days

 I'm not one for muted tone pictures. Mayhem, spectacle, a blaze of color, as long as we're having fun and getting great photos, I'm going to keep on shooting. Want to delve closer? I've made it possible for you to view not just a cherry-picked photograph or two, but complete client galleries.

Tangelos, yum!  Winter is citrus time in Kauai and you'll find me at the farmers' market buying tangelos by the crate load. How about some other random things. 

I’m into sunsets more than sunrises, not because of lighting—equal there— but dawn shoots make my day very long.  

I dig broccoli and cayenne pepper in smoothies. Peanut butter, yes, but never with jelly. Favorite movie?  I like so many. 

Favorite book?  As a kid, all Jules Verne and H.G Wells. As an adult, I'm an eclectic reader. Michael Crichton to Isabel Wilkerson and a hundred in between. 

Favorite color? Maybe blue, no, purple, no, primrose yellow. You get it. It's the same with most things. I've read thousands of books, no best, seen thousands of movies, tasted more foods than I can name, don't have a bestie but do have a few. Is that weird? 

Or is this weird:

I talk to strangers I pass on the street, "hi, good morning, I like your sneakers."I do the same at the supermarket, in the parking lot at the beach after I’ve finished a photo session. Growing up I was a shy one. Who knew I’d be such a chatter box? 

I’d sooner have the three cameras on me, each with a different lens rather than a single camera and a backpack of lenses.  

 I speak one language, three different speeds. 

 I'll give my photography and videography time freely to bring awareness to animal cruelty, such as hoarding situations. I've done Youtube videos for these causes. I love cats and dogs equally. So yes I'm an animal-loving photographer Kauai locals can trust.   

 Okay, nuff said, for now.
