I am a documentary style wedding photographer with an artistic flair. You can count on me to deliver high quality natural photos of the special moments throughout the day. I take charge to make sure we efficiently get great group photos with good lighting.
It is important to me your wedding photos look natural. I am an artist at heart but to capture the best I need your trust and confidence. Couples comment I am easy to work with. I will help you relax and enjoy your wedding day because I know what I am doing and I work efficiently and stick to our timeline. I know you want great photos but also want to enjoy the day with your friends and family.
As the lead photographer I work directly with you to plan the photography timeline and group photos. There is nothing to be lost in translation. My second shooters are full time professionals with 10+ years of experience also. Couples have given me over 95 5 star reviews on WeddingWire where I collect most of my reviews. I will do everything possible to make your day wonderful and to deliver gorgeous photos.
Your wedding day team can be from 1 or 2 photographers and if you want videography there can be 1 or 2 videographers. Contact me for more details. Ultimately I want to discuss your wedding plans to properly quote the services and pricing you need for your wedding.
** NEW - Ceremony Live Streaming ** You can still include everyone from a distance with ceremony live streaming. I offer a hollywood package that includes 3 cameras and professional audio or a Pro package with one camera angle. See my web site for more details.

Dave was absolutely amazing from the planning sessions, through the wedding day, to providing the photos after the event! He alway replied very quickly and was very helpful when i...
t came to my family's needs and questions. On the wedding day, he made us feel so comfortable when taking solo pictures, group pictures, posed photos, and candid photos. He really made it a fun and easy experience! Dave and his team did not miss a beat, we got every shot we imagined, plus more! Dave reminded us when it was time for sunset photos and made it a point to get photos of everyone at the wedding. We could not be happier with the photos by Dave! The photos were sent to us extremely quickly after the wedding and in a very easy to use format so I can share, download, print, etc. I can't wait until we get the printed photo album from Dave as well. We have been sharing our photos with our family, friends, and vendors, and they are all in awe of all the photos! I would recommend Dave to anyone and everyone looking for beautiful pictures and a super fun and relaxed experience! Thank you so much for everything, Dave, you helped make our wedding beyond our wildest dreams!

os is innately awkward, but he made us feel very natural during our session. Before our wedding, we had multiple planning calls with Dave in order to create the best timeline for not only photography events, but for the entire wedding schedule of events. On the day of the wedding, Dave and Jason ensured all the events were captured from getting ready to first look and our private vows to all of the ceremony and reception. We could confidently enjoy our day while we knew Dave and Jason were documenting every detail of the wedding. They coordinated directly with the venue staff and our DJ to make sure we could spend as much time with our guests as possible. Just two days after the wedding, Dave sent us all 1,500+ edited photos from our wedding. All of the photos turned out amazing and we are so grateful for all of Dave’s hard work, flexibility, and photographic expertise. We cannot recommend Dave and his team enough to any other future wedding couples!

Dave is absolutely the best! After witnessing his talent from other weddings, it was the easiest choice to have Dave do both photography and videography for our wedding. From the m...
oment we contacted him until we had everything in our hands, Dave was highly professional, efficient, adaptable, and skilled. He responded to all communication quickly, scouted out spots at the venue pre-wedding, and went through our timeline so seamlessly that we didn't have to worry about a thing. We couldn't have been more confident in a vendor throughout this entire process, which is exactly what you want as a bride and groom. Dave took care of everything behind the scenes and adapted anything that was needed throughout. He brought a team of professionals who were just as talented and made us feel totally comfortable. And the cherry on top? We received our photos within a week and our videos within two weeks. He captured each moment so beautifully that we are having a hard time deciding what to print! Dave made any edits we wanted within a day, and they were so great that not much was even needed. If you're looking for someone to take care of your photo and video needs, Dave goes above and beyond in the most seamless manner.

Dave was my favorite wedding vendor to work with. He was organized, professional, personable, and supportive. Dave made sure we got every picture we wanted to get on our wedding da...
y. He held several quick meetings a few months before the wedding to create a timeline that worked for us. The pictures we have with our family are our favorite pictures, he captured the most precious candid moments that we will cherish forever. He went above and beyond for us; Dave visited the venue and church prior to the ceremony/reception to map out the perfect area to take pictures. He went at the time the events would take place to make sure he took the lighting into consideration! The wedding party, and wedding guests have said multiple times how great of a photographer he was and how he captured those very special moments. 10/10 would recommend Dave!! Dave, thank you for making our wedding day so special.

y from our initial conversation. We chose his package that had 8 hours of coverage and video as well. From day one through the engagement photo session all the day to the wedding Dave was responsive, professional and super easy to work with. For our engagement photo session Dave gave us recommendations on locations and outfits and he did an amazing job on the photos. He even stayed extra time beyond 60 minutes to make sure we had all the shots we wanted. The engagement photos came quickly and looked amazing. About two weeks or so before the wedding our planner set up a call with us and Dave and Dave asked questions and was very engaged making sure he knew every detail of the photo timeline. Dave worked closely with us to make sure we got all the shots we wanted at our wedding. On the day of our wedding Dave showed up with his assistant photographer and videographer and they made sure we stayed on schedule and did an amazing job. We received our photos about a week and half later and we loved them! We are so happy with our decision to work with Dave and his team and we definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an awesome photographer!

We absolutely loved the photographs that we have seen by wedding photographer Dave McIntosh and we were so delighted that he was available for our wedding!
Prior to the wedding, D...
ave talked with us to learn our needs and to communicate to us the process of photographing the day. We learned a lot with this meeting and it gave us so much confidence that we had placed the task of taking pictures into the right hands. Dave also followed up this meeting with several communications to zero in on our preferences and to inform us of the timetable of how he would work during the day. His communication was outstanding!
On the actual day of the wedding, we were so excited but also very nervous about everything. Dave arrived early, and with his experience, he was able to offer some suggestions and he even went beyond what we expected and helped us with some last minute changes. We wanted everything to be perfect and we were worried about several things, but Dave put our mind at ease and continued to restore the calm.
What we learned from working with Dave is that it isn’t just the quality of pictures, but a good photographer will also consider telling a story and helping us with some of the unexpected things that arose. As our photographer, he helped make it a day that we will never forget.
Dave sent the digital photos to us a few days after the wedding and we could not believe what he provided to us. Our wedding took place in a dimly lit church interior, but you could see our faces and those of our family so clearly that we still don’t know how he managed this feat. We look at these pictures and cannot help to smile because he captured everything so beautifully.
We will always remember our special wedding day, and as we grow older together as a couple, Dave’s pictures will allow us to enjoy those memories time and time again. Each time we look at them, it is like we relive our wedding as he took pictures throughout the day and captured so many unique and memorable moments. Dave was the absolute best photographer and we know that he will bless many other couples with his talents!

From the first moment that we spoke with Dave, we knew we were in good hands. Our friend had recommended Dave to us based on her wedding, and we are so glad she d...
id.
In our intro calls, Dave made it clear to us that he is flexible around our style/preferences, and this was very true throughout every step of the process. He came and did an engagement shoot for us where he braved a hot NYC day and endless pedestrians to capture a ton of amazing shots, all with a smile on his face througout.
Leading up to the wedding, we spoke with Dave multiple times to go over the schedules, preferred photos we were looking for, etc. Where we were often frantic and anxious, Dave was calm and incredibly helpful on pointers regarding photos we may want and recommendations on capturing the day.
On our wedding day itself, Dave and his team really shined. They were prompt, professional, dealt with any twists/turns throughout the day, and most importantly - captured endless amazing photos. Dave went above and beyond to capture great angles, get in the mix of the partying to get great action shots, and know just the right level of pushiness so that we get the photos that we dreamed of.
We could write many more paragraphs about how great Dave was, but at risk of running on too much, will just say that we are so happy we chose Dave to work with us on our big day and are confident he will be amazing for any event!

The most incredible part was that he got the photos out to us within 3 days of shooting! Over 500 pictures! They're available for download from an online gallery, he's going to send us a zip file, and he's mailing us a USB, as well. What a gem. He did a wonderful job and we loved working with him.

We used Dave for our wedding this year and I cannot recommend him enough.
We purchased the Hollywood Streaming package and the photo package. First off, very reasonably priced com...
pared to some other photographers and the level of care and consideration on his end was absolutely top notch. The pictures were incredible.
Dave went through every action item with us via a face time video and created a full itinerary for us for our wedding day and had us put together the photos we wanted along with music selections for our ceremony. It all turned out better than we could have hoped for.
Dave arrived early on the day of and we got started almost right away with the photos and he had everything setup for the stream with plenty of time to spare. His crew was courteous and professional. Dave's level of detail to the photos was apparent when we got the full photo album back. Every photo was spot on, not only the photos we asked for, but the photos that he directed and the "spur of the moment" photos that he captured really summed up the entire feel and spirit of the wedding.
These will be photos (and video) that I will be happy to look back on forever. If you are local to the area and looking for an extremely professional and well organized photographer then Dave is your man.
He was a pleasure to have at the wedding. Very nice and well put together and interacted with everyone at the wedding.
I would recommend Dave and any of his services without hesitation. You will not be disappointed!

Hiring Dave turned out to be one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We were extremely impressed by his level of professionalism from the very first time we made contact...
. In fact, we held Dave as the standard when evaluating other vendors' professionalism. He was proactive throughout, took initiative and set up meetings to make sure we were all on the same page, and created a photography timeline that satisfied my need for organization. I was stressed about many things while planning the wedding, but the photography was not one of them as I knew I could trust Dave to do a good job. He did not disappoint. On the day of the wedding, he arrived early and was even flexible enough to stay later than planned to capture photos of me in my reception dress. The photos turned out amazing and we even received more than we expected. I love looking at them and so do my family and friends. My only regret? Not hiring Dave for videography as well!

Choosing Dave as our photographer was one of the first and easiest decisions we made about our wedding, and it was one of the best! From our first meeting through two postponements...
, one elopement, and finally the big day, Dave was professional, flexible, accommodating, knowledgeable, and fun. He truly understands photography, especially lighting, and will work to ensure that each photo is perfect. He was amazingly flexible, rescheduling our engagement photos due to weather, and making himself available on a day’s notice when we decided to elope Covid-style. He came with his own know-how and ideas for shots, but was also more than happy to accommodate last minute requests or ideas for shots- and every one turned out beautiful!!!! The second shooter complimented his style exactly. The reception photos are some of my favorites- so many great candids, and you didn’t even notice they were taking pictures. We would recommend Dave to anyone who wants their day captured in a clean, crisp BEAUTIFUL style. Thank you, Dave and Jason!!

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we wanted to find someone experienced to live-stream our wedding for the many people who could not travel to our wedding, but we also wanted to go wit...
h a service that provided both photography and live streaming for our wedding. Fortunately, Dave McIntosh showed up as a top result in our online searches and his in-depth website made us know we wanted to work with him. Meeting with him initially, we told him what we had in mind for our ceremony and reception (two locations that were a 25 min drive apart, with the ceremony ending at 1 PM and reception starting at 3 PM) which was no problem for him in terms of setting up for the live stream. I told him we were doing a Catholic wedding and he responded by saying that was all he needed to know. He also provided good recommendations to help us work within our budget but provide the services we really wanted. We also went with getting engagement photos to get more photos of us together and to get to know our photographer, Jason, who posed us in a way that required minimal direction. We received the photos within a week and were able to get a large variety of photos we loved. For the wedding, Dave and his team showed up early to set up at the church and rolled with last-minute changes that happened throughout the day. The ceremony and reception were recorded and photographed beautifully and after the wedding, we got all of the live streaming footage, Zoom logs, and photos within a few days of the event! Dave's quick responsiveness and experience have made working with him absolutely wonderful. We are so grateful to him and his team (Jason and Dan) for helping extend our wedding to many who could not make it and recording our memories that we can look back upon for years to come!

Dave did our livestream ceremony this past weekend and it made our wedding so special. We have received rave reviews from all of our virtual guests. I think we had 100 or so people...
join in from all over the country (and the UK!). From the start Dave was awesome. He is a complete perfectionist in the best way. Sometimes I was hesitant to send him a late night email or weekend question because I felt bad knowing that he would always respond so quickly even when my request wasn’t urgent. He worked really well with our DJ and had to make last minute behind the scenes changes related to mics that I didn’t hear about until after the wedding. Hiring Dave was worth every penny and I’m so glad I didn’t listen to the people who recommended we just throw an iPhone in a tripod and do the livestream ourselves. My uncles review really sums up how great the live stream was: “We started with the slide show, and continued on to the end of the broadcast. We set it up to watch on our big flat-screen TV, and the technical quality was terrific for both sound and picture. Obviously, the people who made it possible knew what they were doing and used the best equipment. The opportunity you provided for us to attend virtually is very much appreciated. Lots of smiles and nods on this end.” I will add that these words from my uncle were completely unsolicited, he just sent my mom an email after the ceremony because he enjoyed watching it that much!
