    Exceeded all expectations!!

    We had the pleasure of working with David for our engagement and wedding pictures! David has an exceptional eye for detail and a unique talent for capturing the perfect moments. He exceeded all of our expectations!! His attention to detail was evident in every shot. Whether it was a subtle change in lighting or the slightest adjustment in composition, he knew precisely how to enhance the beauty and emotion of each scene. David’s warm and friendly demeanor created a relaxed atmosphere, allowing natural expressions and genuine smiles to shine through. He has an incredible knack for making the experience fun and enjoyable, which was reflected in the candid and joyous images he captured. Overall, working with David was a delightful experience. We highly recommend David to anyone seeking a photographer who not only delivers stunning images but also makes the entire process a pleasure! Thank you so much David!!

    Incredible photographer and artist

    I could not have been happier with my choice of photographer. David was truly incredible. He did a great job at making sure we truly enjoyed our day and were not focused on the "photoshoot" aspect. We ended the evening with over 3,000 photos and I really love them all. He had a great eye and ideas for photos I never would have thought of myself.

    Would choose David again and again!

    David has an excellent eye and his attention to detail is very impressive. Working with David brought a calmness to our wedding day. My husband was a bit apprehensive with the photography because he didn’t want to feel like there was a camera in his face all day. He has mentioned multiple times how great David was and how he didn’t feel pressure and felt very relaxed. I would highly recommend David Champagne Photography.

    Not your average photographer

    We initially chose David due to his style of photography. He uses true color and he takes creative liberties in his shots. He NAILED our pictures. We took initial photographs in the Glasslight Museum due to the bold, vibrant, and modern look. He used that to his advantage and CRUSHED our photos. No photo is boring. I made a list of around 80 family photo combinations I wanted. He was able to create a time line and stay within those boundaries on the actual day which is shocking. He took incredible photos at our reception which capture the joy, excitement, celebration and alcohol drive insanity of the evening. I could not be happier with my choice of David!

    Wonderful experience from engagement shoot until wedding day.

    David was wonderful to work with, from our engagement shoot until the wedding day. He made myself and everyone else feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos were absolutely amazing. I will treasure them for a lifetime. I’m so grateful David was our photographer.

    David was fantastic!

    We are overjoyed with the exceptional service provided by David. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of the photos, every step was executed with utmost professionalism. David kept our wedding day running according to our timeline so we didn’t feel rushed or miss any of our celebration. His keen eye for detail and creative approach resulted in a breathtaking collection of images that beautifully tell the story of our special day. Their ability to capture genuine emotions and candid moments truly sets them apart. David sent us every photo he took less than a week after our wedding. We feel incredibly fortunate to have chosen such a talented and dedicated professional for our wedding, and we wholeheartedly recommend David Champagne to anyone in search of a top-tier photographer. Five stars without a doubt!

    From start to finish best wedding photographer

    Sets up meetings prior to the wedding, and is very fast to respond. During the wedding is everywhere and captures the whole day. Then received the pictures neatly organized very fast.

    Absolutely fantastic!

    David was a phenomenal photographer and worth every penny! He was very quick so he wasted no time and didn’t miss a single moment. He worked nonstop until my wife and I left and got our pictures back to us within a week. Will be recommending him to all friends and family.

    For the perfect photographer, look no further.

    David Champagne is easily the absolute top tier when it comes to wedding photographers, hands down. We could not have asked for a better photographer to help memorialize our special day and he far exceeded even our wildest dreams for photographs! David was on time, on top of his schedule and most importantly an absolute BLAST to work with. Every photo is amazing and he has such a knack for getting the perfect shot and knowing how to pose people and interact with the guests. Every guest commented on how professional David was and he went along with all of the fun and silly little aspects of our wedding that we had. I cannot say enough how David was an integral part of making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

    Best wedding photographer

    David is the best wedding photographer we could have ever asked for! He beyond exceeded our expectations and we could not recommend him enough. He was so organized from the start and made it a stress free process leading up to the wedding day. He was so efficient with his pictures throughout the whole wedding which allowed us to spend much more time with our friends and family (which is what we wanted). He was so fun to work with on the day of our wedding while having a professional demeanor at the same time. The wedding pictures were ready in LESS THAN A WEEK which is unheard of and they are amazing!! Thank you so much to David for helping to make our day so special!

    Perfection!!

    David did both our engagement photos and wedding photos and we could not be happier! He was a perfect communicator and took the best photos we could have ever hoped to have. We would recommend him to everyone and would totally use him in the future for any photography needs!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    We truly enjoyed working with David. He is very professional and made us very comfortable. He's great at what he does and is truly talented. Our favorite shot was when he was asked by our priest to come up to the altar to take a picture of the entire congregation. It was truly a moment to remember. We're so happy we chose him :)

    David Champagne Photography
    David and his team were incredible. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer, from our first meeting he went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was covered on our big day, the photos are truly exquisite and we have received so many compliments about them since. The way he captured every emotion through out the day was a work of art. If I was to ever need a photographer again I will definitely be giving David and his team a call thanks again for your professionalism and attention to detail in every way!

    Best of the Best!

    David is truly the best of the best of wedding photographers! He is very experienced with weddings, helps you establish a timeline (and stick to it!), and most importantly is extremely talented in providing direction and also capturing all of the beautiful wedding moments. We absolutely love all of our wedding photos!

    The best wedding photographer in his field.

    If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER! David is truly the best in his field. He was so easy to work with and kept everything on our desired timeline. He captured every wonderful moment of my daughter's wedding and when looking back at many of them, I felt as if I was reliving it all over again. Isn't that what you want when you look at photos that reflect those special moments? This is the photographer you want to make that happen.
    Thank you, David, for such a lovely experience on a day that goes all too quickly; you have given me something that transports me back to those beautiful moments each time I look at each of these photos! :)

    The perfect person to capture our special moments

    It was an absolute pleasure working with David! We did an engagement shoot with him as well as hired him for our wedding photos, and we loved his work. He was so easy to communicate with, was the epitome of professionalism, and worked with us to make sure our photo timeline flowed smoothly and included everything that was important to us. We were over the moon that we got our photos - ALL of them - within a week of the wedding! Our family and friends can't stop raving about how beautiful they are and how they truly captured the magic of the day. Would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a photographer!

    Amazing!!!!

    David Champagne Photography was AMAZING as my wedding photographer! He is a true artist with an eye for the perfect shot. I wanted some creative flare to my portraits and he went above and beyond to scout locations, style the shots, place the lighting for the best effect. He was such an impressive one man team!! Not to mention we got our photos back SO quick, myself and all my friends and family were shocked to have them back so soon! We are absolutely thrilled with his work, would recommend a million times over!!

    Amazing!!!

    I researched photographers for my wedding and David's work looked amazing. I was instantly excited to book him and he did not disappoint! He was very professional in every aspect and amazing to work with. I informed him of my limited abilities with taking a decent photo and my fear of my wedding photos because of it. He was encouraging throughout the whole day and made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My photos came out amazing and I absolutely love them!! I'm looking forward to working with him in the future for family photos!

    The best there is!

    David was amazing! He came recommended by two friends/coworkers and he did not disappoint. I’m not photogenic at all and don’t really like having my picture taken, but David put us at ease. He was so friendly and organized and all the pictures he took turned out beautiful. Looking back, the wedding day itself was a whirlwind. But one thing I do remember was that David was there every step of the way, capturing every moment. Even going around to all the tables to say hi to all our guests, David was there, never missing a shot. He also captured all the little details of the wedding that I never got to see, so it was nice having those photos to go back and look at. We would highly recommend him for your special day!

    Thanks David!!

    David was a pleasure to work with! He responded quickly to all of our questions, and made us feel confident we'd get all the photos we wanted.

    On the day of our wedding, David was super professional. He made everyone feel at ease, including our cat and the young children. I had mentioned feeling self conscious about my posture, and he was really great at reminding me to stand upright without drawing attention to it. He managed our group effortlessly even though we are a rowdy bunch. He planned a thorough schedule to make sure we would have time to capture everything that we wanted. Overall working with David was a total breeze in the day thanks to his professionalism.

    We got our photos back today, only 1 week after the wedding, and they are everything we imagined and more! Absolutely fantastic work, David!

    Fantastic!

    David was an absolute WONDER to work with. He captured every moment I could think of and more. We had to postpone our wedding twice due to COVID and he was so patient with us in having to reschedule. We got married on May 14th and received all of our images on May 18th. I was so incredibly pleased with the quality of the images and the speed in which we received them. He was so professional and understanding of all the important moments. I love how unlike most photographers you receive every single photo that he takes. It truly is the most bang for your buck. I will only ever recommend him to future brides. I can't thank him enough.

    The Best Around

    David Champagne was absolutely amazing! He came very well recommended by The Cavalier, which is where we had our reception. Aside from the fact that ALL my vendors knew him, they all continuously said such nice things about him and his work. I can't even begin to say how glad I am that he was our
    wedding photographer, he highly exceeded our expectations (like HIGHLY EXCEEDED). We got married 4/30/22 and I was so shocked with how quickly we got our photos. David took so many perfect and beautiful shots at our wedding. Everyone that has seen our photos have raved about how in awe they are of the photographers work and when I tell them that he is a team of one they are even more amazed. I also need to talk about how great he was getting photos with the flower girls and ring bearers, I can't believe that he got such perfect photos with all of them looking at the camera. Lastly, one of our favorite things about working with David was just how fun and professional he is. My bridal party, friends, and family loved seeing him do his work. He was always at the right spot getting the perfect shot. I will forever cherish these photos. We cannot recommend David enough as a wedding photographer!!!

    The best decision we made

    Booking David was the best decision we made when planning our wedding! He is the supreme professional, from his communication skills to his artistic vision and eye. David went above and beyond our expectations from our first meeting with him, making sure to ask every question he could think of to be as prepared as possible. He has a gentle and calming demeanor that made photos totally stress-free even amidst unforeseen circumstances that made photo-taking chaotic and challenging. David even communicated with our venue on our behalf to ensure we could have access to every area needed for us to get the best photos possible. We got the photos back from him much quicker than expected - only a few weeks! The photos are gorgeous, perfectly staged with a natural feel and lovely editing. All my friends and family cannot believe how incredible our photos turned out. I would book David again and again. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone. You cannot go wrong booking him for your wedding!

    The best decision!

    David was amazing to work with! David photographed my sister's wedding a few years ago, and when I saw the pictures, I knew I had to hire him! Although he is based in the Virginia Beach area, he travelled to D.C. for my wedding. We delayed our wedding twice due to COVID, and he was extremely understanding and easy to work with. David is very engaged with the logistics of the day and sent a timeline in advance. Not only did the pictures turn out absolutely beautiful, but he made sure the day stayed on track and went smoothly. In addition, he is very detail oriented and captured every aspect of the day.

    Absolutely fabulous!!

    In all honesty words can not express how amazing David was at our wedding. He captured the most beautiful pictures of our wedding. He is quick, very helpful, and definitely will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. He was on top of capturing every beautiful moment/detail from first look, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. We were fortunate to have an absolutely beautiful sunny day and were able to take sunset photos. David showed me one of the photos on his camera and it literally took my breath away. David is someone I would 100% recommend to anyone to capture their wedding photos!!!
