I worked with Dave for my surgical residency application photo, and was so impressed with his talent, professionalism, and ability to bring out a photogenic side I didn't know I had. To start, Dave was incredibly responsive. I was on a time crunch, and Dave called me Sunday night less than an hour after I sent an email to give a quote and answer my questions. The session was scheduled for Tuesday, and I had the photos within 24 hours of selecting my favorite. On site, Dave was warm, made me feel comfortable, and helped me find the confident, friendly look I was hoping for. Being natural in front of the camera doesn't come easily to me, but Dave made the whole process painless, and I loved so many of the photos I had trouble choosing. His retouching work was wonderful, and the price was extremely competitive--one of the best I found in my search of around 10 photographers. read more

Dave is so incredibly talented. He photographs my festivals as well as my family. Festivals - Dave doesn't require any direction, which is so nice. He shows up and seems to get the best photos that truly capture the day. From crowd shots to food shots, I am always so pleased with the end result. Family - He just recently started taking photos of my family. Anyone who has kids knows that family photo sessions can be highly stressful. Dave has a way of putting everyone at ease and can capture fabulous photos in a short amount of time. Every time he sends me the gallery, I spend hours looking at all the photos. I love and cherish every single one. Lastly, Dave is professional, reliable and provides a quick turnaround. I highly recommend Dave McIntosh Photographics! read more

To just call Dave our photographer would be the understatement of the century. I remember the first email Dave sent us after we booked him finished with the line- you have made the right decision. He could not have been more right. We found him because we knew he was familiar with Christian Weddings and Hindu Weddings- which is what we were having. He immediately proved to be knowledgeable, flexible, compassionate, and really savvy. During COVID, we had to sunset our original plans and transition to a virtual wedding. Despite our fears and anxiety in shuffling plans, he helped us stay calm and collected. He was willing to update our contract so that it included video streaming, which he took sole responsibility in learning the technology, setting up links, and thinking creatively the entire way. I can't say how many of our family members not only loved his photos but were beyond impressed at the stream he setup for us. He was able to bring together over 500 people across the globe, and we can never thank him enough. What I think I find most valuable in Dave is his perfectionist personality. I'm someone who always needs a plan B, while Dave is someone who is always prepared with a plan B, C, and D. He will be your most trusted advisor through the process while also sharing in laughs and love along the way. I literally cannot imagine what our day would have looked like without him. read more

Dave was absolutely amazing. I needed some professional headshots done for my website and some digital business cards. From contacting Dave to receiving all of the proofs, I was blown away at how professional, prompt and easy going the entire process has been with working with Dave. I would highly recommend booking Dave for your photography needs. read more

It was a pleasure working with Dave who video recorded a family member's memorial service. From the start, his email gave me confidence that he was a professional and would deliver a beautiful product. We were 100% happy with the process (communications, organization, etc..) and the result (a recording to keep as a family memory). Dave is service-oriented, extremely open to feedback and clearly a perfectionist. I give him my highest recommendation and would call him again when the need arises. read more
