David Abel’s style is rooted in the timeless qualities of film. Taking a hybrid approach to create images with intentional framing that have a sense of place, romance, and story to capture the effortless imagery not just the major moments, but the moments in between. To us, it’s not about getting a number of images but getting the right ones. The ones that give meaning and nuance to the story of the wedding day. We specialize in a mixture of editorial and candid moments. We guide our couples into the perfect setting and capture it in a way that doesn’t take away from the experience of the wedding itself. Leading to effortless imagery

With David’s fine arts background, he draws from the world of master painters, sculptures, & design to create work that is infused with color, composition, light, movement, & depth. A husband and wife team with over 15 years of experience we lean into the uniqueness of each couple & wedding, working closely with the bride and her planning team to create something deeply personal and unique that captures the story, beauty, and emotion of the wedding day. Calling Virginia home we have been traveling and capturing beauty for our clients all over the world photographing approximately 20 events per year with a mixture of local and destination work. Whether it’s a wedding of 40 or 400 David and his team will be able to provide a well-crafted experience for everyone involved.
