Vacation Photography in San Francisco
You want photos of your family vacation, but you don’t want to spend your vacation thinking about photos.
Vacation is a story
The vacations of my childhood are stories etched into my memory. New sights and smells, new people and cultures – through travel, I grew as a person, and we grew as a family.
Photographs shape our memories of those vacations, but spending your time thinking about taking pictures takes away from the experience.
I create artful compositions that capture the feeling of your family in this place.
“David is awesome and easygoing, making everyone feel like we’re just casually hanging out, which sets the tone to capture an authentic day.”
– Morgan Broms
More than a photographer
My previous careers involved a lot of guiding in the outdoors. I have experience in helping make your vacation a great experience.
As a Marin local, I share a wealth of knowledge about location planning, avoiding crowds, and managing fog.
Invest in your vacation and maximize your time in the Bay Area!
“It was a fun and casual time…it just felt natural, like we were all hanging out and he was capturing our little adventure…”
