LATEST PROJECT: Central Missouri Humane Society – Charity Shoot
Jason and Jennifer’s wedding…what a blast. You may remember them from the engagement photos I posted on here a while back. Maybe not, who knows.
The day started around 2:30pm with photographs of the preparation mayhem.
This fun young couple was my last engagement photo shot for the weekend. I knew as soon as I sat down with them to discuss their wedding photography that Alex and Megan were going to be great to work with.
If there is one thing I love more than taking photos, it’s taking photos of friends. I know it sounds really cheesy, but it’s true. Maybe it’s just because I know fun people. Erica and Kyle are no exception.
What a cool couple. Let me just start there. After some unsavory weather on our first session the skies cleared up and gave us a beautiful day to capture these two.
I have never met a more laid back couple in my life.
Reagan and Dan have been the ideal bridal client every step of the way. They searched for a photographer that matched what they liked (glad it was me) and let me do what I do best…run around like a madman and take thousands of images.

At the beginning of the day I split up my photo-squad and sent my assistant Hector over to take shots of Dan while he was getting ready.
After I started talking about things I would do in the new year. I started thinking “I’m going to do something this year, that I haven’t done in many years”, and as a result I’ve decided to hand out a bunch of free shoots.
So, here’s what I’m doing:
10 free full-day modeling shoots ( 5 random people, 5 of my choosing )
1 free wedding.
“So how do I get this deal David?”
I’ll tell you. In the upper right corner of this website is a button that says “contact me”. You click that and fill out the contact form with the subject line “free photos”, in the message box…tell me a story. Tell me who you are and why you want to shoot with me (yes “because it’s free” is acceptable, I suppose)
I’m going to give this until the end of February. Then I will choose the winners and post them here.

Well friends, if it hasn’t hit you yet I’m sure it will soon. The holidays are upon us. “Black Friday” (a marketing phenomenon exclusive to the good ‘ol US of A) is a mere two days away. For many people, holiday shopping is a stressful time…much like planning a wedding. Now I can’t do anything to alleviate the stress levels of the shopping herd but, I can do something to make life a bit easier on you and your fiancee.
As of today, I am offering a 15% discount on my wedding collection prices to any bride and groom that book their photography before the end of this year. It doesn’t matter what day you are getting married, or what year, so long as you book that date before January 1, 2008.
“That’s great David, where are your prices?”
Easy, just click the button on the top right of this page that says “contact me”. Fire me an email with that contact form and I will send you all of the information you will need.

Adam came to me a while back and asked me if I would help him recreate his wedding day for his wife on their first anniversary. He told me about what had happened with their original wedding photographer, and how they didn’t want those images to be all they had to remember the day by.
We talked about what disappointed them with the original shots, and some places they might like to revisit. He had already decided they wanted me to shoot, so we set the date immediately.

I have to say, this was a great experience for all of us.
Amanda is a wonderful young lady that I am considering using as a stylist in my upcoming fashion photography plans.

She recently hired me to be her wedding photographer. It was an absolute blast. Quite possibly the most fun I’ve ever had on a wedding shoot.
