“I met Daveed during an event and I loved his photography style. We became friends and did a photoshoot.

We went everywhere from the beach, to the streets and to birthday parties. Daveed has been present in every special moment of my life. On my wedding day, I couldn’t imagine having anyone only Daveed.

He is sweet, fun, loving and a gifted photographer. Daveed makes your special moment unique and memorable.”

His enthusiastic yet gentle approach brings out the best in his subjects - and result in fantastic shots. He was a pleasure to work with - and I HIGHLY recommend him!”
