Are you relying on a cellphone to tell your story?

Every event is a major investment of time and resources. Yet, so many businesses rely on cellphone cameras to document their hard work. The result? Generic, low-quality images that don't capture the true energy or story of the day, leaving you with little to show for your efforts.

My Event Photography Process.

Your event is unique, and our process is designed to ensure we capture its true story. From our first conversation to final image delivery, our focus is on planning and communication to give you the visuals you need.

  • 1. The Planning Session

    Every successful event starts with a clear plan. We will begin with a consultation to understand your goals, target audience, and the story you want to tell. We'll outline all the essential shots to make sure every key moment, from keynote speakers to networking, is perfectly captured.

  • 2. The Event Day

    On the day of the event, you can focus on your guests and your goals. I will be there to professionally and discreetly document the energy and key moments, ensuring a stress-free experience for everyone.

  • 3. Delivery & Usage

    After the event, your images will be professionally edited and delivered in high-resolution digital format. The final files are licensed for use in your marketing, social media, and on your website.

Frequently Asked Event Coverage Questions

  • Do you travel outside of the Bay of Quinte region?

    Yes. I am based in the Bay of Quinte, but I am available for events in Prince Edward County, Belleville, Brighton, and across Southeastern Ontario. I'm also happy to discuss destination events and special projects.

  • How many hours of coverage should I book for my event?

    The ideal number of hours depends on your event's unique schedule and goals. To ensure all key moments are captured, most clients book between 4-8 hours. We can discuss the best option for your event during our consultation.

  • How many images will we get with our coverage?

    I focus on delivering a comprehensive gallery of high-quality images that tell your event's complete story. The final number depends on the length and scope of the event, but you can expect 100+ images per hour of coverage.

  • What is your photography approach for event coverage?

    My approach is a blend of photojournalism and authentic storytelling. I work discreetly, documenting the event as it unfolds while also capturing the key moments, candid interactions, and overall energy. I believe the best visuals are a true reflection of the experience.

  • Do you only shoot candids at events or will you capture portraits of attending guests?

    While my focus is on candid, documentary-style photography, I am happy to capture posed photos and group portraits. We will discuss all the essential shots and moments you want captured during our pre-event planning session.

  • How long is your image turnaround for event coverage?

    Final images are professionally edited and delivered in an online gallery within 4 to 6 weeks of your event. If you need a faster turnaround, please let me know during our consultation so we can discuss expedited options.

  • Can we have images on the event day for live promotions?

    Yes, absolutely. For an additional fee, I can select and edit a handful of key images on-site and deliver them to you before the end of the event. This ensures you have high-quality visuals for live social media promotions or immediate press releases.

  • Since you are also working with a local publication, can we use those images for our social media?

    The images I create on assignment for publications are subject to different licensing. All of the images I capture at your event—including those used in a publication—are available for your use under a license agreement.

    After the event, I can provide a watermarked proof gallery to review. We can then discuss which photos you would like to license for your social media, website, or marketing campaigns, with discounts available on the purchase of full galleries.

  • Is it cheaper to buy your gallery or lease images that you have shot while providing coverage for a news publication?

    My pricing for commercial and event photography is based on usage-based licensing, which is different from my work as a photojournalist. For that reason, images are licensed at a commercial rate that reflects your specific marketing needs. You can license images on a per-image basis, or a full gallery can be purchased as a complete package. I'd be happy to provide a custom quote for your specific project.

    The Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board has hired Dave multiple times now and across projects with different set ups - sports, stills, aerials, outdoor, indoor, etc. Each time, Dave understands and interprets our vision, shoots out great images and gives a lot of variety with the final product. He's always professional and always easy to work with.

    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!
