About David LeClair


Photographer & Visual Storyteller | Serving Belleville, Quinte West & Southeastern Ontario

Hi, I’m David LeClair — a professional photographer and visual storyteller based in the Bay of Quinte. I provide on-location commercial, event, and headshot photography across Belleville, Quinte West, Prince Edward County, Brighton, Greater Napanee, and throughout Southeastern Ontario.

Before photography, I spent over a decade in heavy civil construction, where I developed a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and technical precision — all of which now fuel my creative process.

Today, I specialize in documentary-style photojournalism, capturing authentic moments, real emotion, and the true essence of people, events, and brands. Whether it’s the raw joy of a wedding, the professional polish of a corporate headshot, or the energy of a live event, I create visuals that tell compelling stories and elevate your presence.

Every project starts with you — your story, your vision, and your goals. With a client-first approach, I bring creativity, care, and professionalism to deliver visuals you can trust.

    Dave came through for me multiple times and took some amazing photos and videos for myself and my company. He captured awesome angles, took his time and was a true professional! I appreciate the effort and passion he brought to the shoot. His work speaks for itself, and his rates are also more than fair. I will be hiring Dave again and would fully recommend him to anyone. Thanks again, Dave!

    My Fiancée and I just did our engagement photos with Dave in February - during a crazy snow storm! We live in Toronto and were only visiting home (Carrying Place) for the weekend. When we woke up to a white out, Saturday morning, I was so worried that we would have to cancel the shoot, since I didn't know when we'd be in the area next.


    David pulled through for us! His friendly and down-to-earth demeanor made the photoshoot comfortable and fun despite all of us being frozen. I couldn't be more happy with our photos - Dave really captured us, our love, and excitement. The photos are so magical with all the snowflakes. I'm so grateful!

    Had a great experience with Dave capturing some important moments for my family and I. He attended my family farm to do a family photo shoot. He was able to do an awesome blend of candid and posed shots, which really diversified our photoshoot and gave me some phenomenal photos that I have plastered on my walls, as well as background images for every electronic I have. He brings forward strong professionalism during all interactions. Not only is he professional, but he also takes the opportunity to get to know you more personally, so he is able to capture moments that will be close to your heart.
    Highly recommended!
