David was a vital part of our wedding! We are SO glad that he was able to capture our day in such a beautiful way. His photographs show expression and emotion in a way that is unlike so much of traditional wedding photography. One of our favorite parts of our wedding day was leaving with him for sun…set photos, where we truly felt like we were spending time with a close friend. We are so thankful for David’s personality, attention to detail, and all of the work he put into getting to know us in order to make our photos something that we have to look back on and smile forever! Cannot sing his praises enough!

David is the best hands down! We were so glad he was able to take our engagement photos as well as our wedding day photos. The photos came out amazing and David’s vibes are unmatched. We also got a ton of photos and we got them quick! 10/10 would recommend David and his team.

David was our photographer for our wedding day, and he was accompanied by Carlynn from his team. The two of them were absolutely incredible. From the moment they arrived, they brought such a calming, joyful energy that instantly put everyone at ease. They were organized, efficient, and so genuinely …warm and friendly that by the end of the day, they honestly felt like our best friends.
They also went above and beyond for us in so many little ways. At one point I had a small issue with my wedding dress, and David jumped in with safety pins to save the day! Our wedding party couldn’t stop talking about how kind, personable, and talented they both were. They gave clear, easy direction for poses that never felt stiff or awkward. Everything felt natural, relaxed, and fun.
When we received our photos, we were completely blown away. Every image captured the emotion and joy of the day so beautifully, and the overall feel was exactly what we had hoped for: authentic, genuine, and just plain beautiful. We are absolutely in love with our photos and honestly don’t know how they did it. Looking through the gallery truly felt like getting to experience our wedding day all over again.
We are so grateful to David and Carlynn and truly could not have asked for a better photography team.

I cannot say enough good things about David. The photos turned out more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Did great guiding us when we needed it.
Choosing him was one of the best decisions we made, worth every bit of the investment. I’ll …cherish these photos forever, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone who wants their love story captured in the most beautiful way.

I felt like I’d unearthed a hidden gem. We first found David via random Google search while vacationing in New Mexico. He did our engagement photos and the way he captured us against the New Mexican terrain, w the mountains, cliffs, rocks, was just breathtaking. Being from Toronto, the concrete jung…le, having these photos was such a beautiful contrast from our usual city scape backgrounds. We knew we 100% wanted him for our wedding in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada and he was a dream to work with. So friendly and easy to get along with and so damn creative! His group shots are fashion magazine worthy, and who knew an average couple like us could look so vogue 😉. I want to get married again so we can have him shoot for us again haha.

David was exactly what we wanted in a photographer, he told a story with his pictures and not just crappy family photo recaps. We really loved his edgy style, which to us highlighted our sense of adventure and kept the whole thing from feeling like an "ushy gushy romance" (which is not us). He absol…utely knows the business and our wedding coordinator thought he was great, and you know that girl has seen it all. On top of all that David was a great hang in general and was totally down for a last minute boat ride. He is a guy we would love to be friends with, but I think he is too busy traveling to all sorts of cool places to shooting weddings. Book him if you can!

Phenomenal - absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish David delivered. When you hire David you not only add a fantastic and experienced photographer to your wedding repertoire, you add a seasoned wedding coordinator to help build timelines, keep rehearsals on track, and ensure the big day runs sm…oothly. But that’s not all - you also get a fantastic friend who makes you feel completely comfortable. In short, David professionally ushers you along the entire wedding process.
As soon as we hung up after our free consultation it was clear he was our guy. We hired him on the spot and never once second guessed our decision. Like most people we tend to be awkward in front of cameras, and David put us at ease and coached us through every photograph - but most importantly he made it fun.
For our engagement shoot, David flew out to Las Vegas and worked his magic in 100 degree heat, never once missing a beat. He made us feel so comfortable and natural that we forgot we were even being photographed.
Then came our wedding in Cabo San Lucas. David didn’t just capture the day, he captured the entire experience. From the joy and laughter to the tears and quiet moments in between, he preserved it all in the most beautiful way. His photos tell our story perfectly, and we’ll cherish them forever.
We honestly couldn’t have asked any more out of David, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time getting to know and work with him. If there’s one thing you do for your wedding, HIRE HIM! You’ll certainly be happy you did.

The Cure- Pictures of You
David and his team are marvelous and without needing to say so very talented. His work speaks for itself. We feel so fortunate that he was available for our small grassroots wedding, which was s…traight from our hearts and all about love, family, and friends. David and Bobby captured all of that and so much more. We wanted our photos to narrate all small and big details, and that is exactly what our amazing photos do. David just makes you and your entire wedding party feel at ease. When he says he doesn’t do packages he means it. He is there to support and guide you not only on the day of but with the whole process. He helped us build our timeline which was such a huge relief, from there he ensured that the hustle and bustle of the day had built-in moments for just the two of us. Looking at our photos is reliving one of the best days of our lives. David is now like family and is already booked for my daughter’s upcoming day. Thank you, David- we were so honored to have had you as our photographer!

My husband and I hit the jackpot when we chose David Goldman as our wedding photographer. Two of our dearest friends highly recommended him and sang his praises. So we agreed to take a zoom with David and see if he was the right fit. On our first call together he was so professional and warm. David …was transparent and up front about his service. We could tell he was experienced and organized. Most importantly, he was easy to talk to. We wanted a photographer that we meshed well with, because that is what warrants amazing photos. It’s more than just skill using a camera. You need someone who knows what to do, what the client wants and how to execute the vision while simultaneously making people feel confident on the other side of the lens.
David agreed to coming early to our all-inclusive resort wedding. We wanted him to hang out and get to know us and our wedding guests before the big day. A few days before the wedding, we brought about 30 wedding guests on a catamaran excursion to an island. We asked David to come and snap some photos along the way. What we didn’t anticipate was that David would become our friend in the process. He got along so well with us and our guests. He fit right in with everyone and we had a blast on the island and eventually at our wedding too. I think this is one of the reasons why our wedding photos are so fun. David could walk up to anyone and maintain or encourage the excitement. Everyone felt like they could continue being their authentic selves while having their photo snapped by David. Guests continued being wild and free as David aptly captured candids.
Thanks to David not only being a talented photographer, but also magical human, we can look back at our wedding photos and be transported right back to the magic of those moments.
