Overwhelmed by wedding planning? Let me make this part simple: all you have to do is celebrate your love. My job is to preserve it in a collection of beautiful, true-to-life photographs you’ll be proud to share and revisit. So, take a deep breath, friend—you’re in steady hands now.
While I’m proud to collaborate with my couples for a personalized experience that fits their vision, I follow a consistent path to capturing weddings like yours:
The process behind the photography.
You relive your favorite day in high res.

I’ll work to cull, edit and deliver your wedding photos in a timely manner, with preview images in just a few days and the full collection 6 weeks after your wedding date. Plus, they’re all uploaded to your online gallery, making it easy to view, share, download and print every priceless memory.
We get to know each other.
01
After you or your wedding planner contact me with all your day’s details and any questions you have, I’ll send a custom proposal, including pricing information. We’ll meet to talk it over and get to know each other, so you can feel confident I’m the right photographer for your wedding.
You make a decision, and I get to work.
02
If you like my proposal (and my style), we’ll sign a contract. From there, I’ll plan an engagement shoot and a timeline for your wedding day, which will allow for all the photos you have in mind: family portraits, first looks, bridal party shots and more.
I shoot your picture-perfect wedding.
03
To make sure we preserve every magic moment, a second shooter will accompany me throughout your day as it unfolds. We’ll follow our predetermined timeline, blending in to observe and directing shots when needed.

Questions? I’m here to help.
Yes, I carry liability insurance up to $1 million as per most venue requirements.
Are you insured?
While I’m proud to collaborate with my couples for a personalized experience that fits their vision, I follow a consistent path to capturing weddings like yours:
I won’t make you wait long for your photos! Within a few days of your wedding, I’ll deliver a set of preview images highlighting some of my favorite moments, portraits and more. You’ll receive the full collection in your online gallery 6 weeks after your wedding day.
When will I receive my photos?
I typically deliver anywhere between 750-1000 images per wedding with a minimal coverage amount of 8 hours. 10 hour weddings are well over 1,000 images.
How many photos do we get?
Yes, I’m happy to shoot any wedding, anywhere! My work has taken me across the entire state of North Carolina, the far reaches of the East Coast, and beyond. To account for my travel expenses, I include a travel fee in my proposal that varies with location.
Will you travel to shoot our wedding?
Yes, booking me requires a 25% retainer and a signed contract.
Do you have a retainer fee?
Because I believe an engagement shoot helps my couples feel more at ease in front of a camera—and get to know me better—I offer complimentary engagement shoots as part of every wedding package. These sessions include location and styling assistance.
Is the engagement shoot included in my
proposal?
“I’m so grateful to have worked with David! He captured the essence of our day perfectly, shot the most stunning details, and took some of the most fun dance floor shots that bring me right back there.”
We get to re-live our beautiful day over and over again thanks to David’s perfect photos. I completely trusted his vision. On both our engagement session and wedding day we let David take the reins with direction and it absolutely paid off.

"David is such an incredible photographer. He is super kind, and made taking pictures fun. We are obsessed with our photos!"
He captured my intimate wedding in January 2024! He is super kind, and made taking pictures fun! We are obsessed with our photos! Would highly recommend booking David Howell Photography for your wedding or special event!
- Erika G., Raleigh, North Carolina
"We worked with David for an engagement session and as our wedding photographer and could not be happier with this choice! His eye for the perfect lighting and angles is second to none. He captured our big day perfectly."
We had our sneak peak wedding photos the very next day and were blown away by how amazing the photos looked. He captured our big day perfectly, especially the details, and we would recommend him to anyone!
