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, I worried we’d have to cancel. David pulled through for us! His friendly and down-to-earth demeanor made the photoshoot comfortable and fun despite the cold. We couldn’t be happier—he captured us, our love, and excitement. The snow made the photos magical. I’m so grateful!
