    David was AMAZING! He did both our engagement pictures as well as the wedding. He was such a professional and creative photographer!!! All of the pictures came out beautiful and he captured so many moments throughout the night that put a smile on our face. We HIGHLY recommend him for any type of event.

    Absolutely FANTASTIC! David did a wonderful job and exceeded all of our expectations. David was reliable, professional, and extremely talented. The only problem...we have too many perfect pictures to choose from for our wedding album. We are so happy that we entrusted David to photograph the most important day of our lives!

    From the very start we had such high hopes invested in you and we knew that you wouldn’t disappoint us or let us down. Right from the very start you were exactly what we had been looking for; a friendly, down-to-earth, talented and accommodating man, who offered us individuality.
    Captured in the shots you have taken are the very essence of everything that was important to us that day – the laughs, the smiles, the fun, the romance, the friends, the family, the charm, the enchantment, the atmosphere, the love …simply everything.
    We cannot put into words how blown away we are by what you have done for us. We were ecstatic when we found you, and even more ecstatic when we realized how flexible and dedicated you were to suiting our needs.
    It was our absolute pleasure to have you take our wedding photographs and we had the most amazing day. We feel it very safe to say that we WILL be in touch in the future should we need the slightest of pictures/portraits/photos taking. We will be sure to recommend you to everyone and anyone, and we wish you all the very best.
    We can’t wait for you to capture the next new chapter in our life!
    Thank you-Thank you!!

    We used David Todd Photography for both our photographers and videographer. They were great! We met with them a couple of times before we decided to go with them and both David and Rob did a wonderful job explaining the different packages and took the time to make us feel comfortable with them. Rob did our engagement photo shoot and the wedding and the pictures came out beautifully. Him and his team were on time the day of the wedding and were very good working with our families to get our photos done. We never felt like they were in the way on the day of the wedding. A couple of weeks after the wedding we had all the proofs and a couple months later we had the video which was done very nicely. Unfortunately, due to family reasons we were unable to meet back with David Todd to put our albums together until over a year after the wedding but even then he was very nice and promised he'd try to get them done for us as soon as he could. We would definitely recommend them to any of our friends and family and can't wait to use them again for a special occasion!

    Robert photographed our wedding, and he was absolutely fabulous. He was extrememly professional, while still able to make jokes to help ease our minds, and he captured great photos. We highly recommend him.

    We are closing in on 2.5 years since our wedding and still do not have the video. David was paid for his services and did a great job with the pictures. I think no video after this long is excessive. We have a friend that used David and she was taken care of first after her wedding was several months after ours. I understand you take care of friends first but this is excessive. David told my wife that we will have the video by Christmas and now it's February and no video. He shouldn't be paid in full until he holds up his end of the contract. We paid good money and now we're getting the run around. I will give credit where credit is due everything was great except for delivering the video in a timely manor. I would feel better if he received the last 20 percent once video was done. You need to hold the money to get the product. George Anderson

    David Todd is great at photography as well as his team doing great with video. However customer service he gets an F. Took over 3+ years to receive everything promised in our contract. On my wedding day I would have given him 5 stars on everything. But after needing to hassle him for years for everything else my review has changed. He received all his money upfront so there was no hurry on delivering the product. If we didn't remind him of the contract we would have been forgotten about.

    Still waiting 7 years later

    Paid in full, absolutely ridiculous! Have contract from my son's Bar Mitzvah. Never got a thing. Lies and empty promises. Shame on you.

    Swindled by David Todd Photography

    This so-called businessman deserves 0 stars. Lies after lies. Excuses after excuses. Ignores text messages and phone calls. 2+ years later and still no wedding video or photo prints. Then suddenly his business and office is gone and he changed the business name to "Visionary artists". This man was paid up front and has not delivered. The sad thing is, he did 3 parties for my family before this. Run far away from this photographer. On a side note his work isn't even good! Signed, one very disappointed bride and her family

    Do not use this guy

    I rarely write reviews, but I feel compelled to let others know the experience we had so they can make an informed decision before using him. Be careful as he used to do business under the name David Todd and now it looks like he’s presenting his service under Visionary Artists.

    I would have given him -0- stars but that is not an option. My daughter was married over TWO years ago. We had to hound him to get anything. The wedding video he supplied was HORRIBLE. The editing was amateurish. The feature intro did not even show the couple. It took 2 years to get the video and it looked thrown together and out of order. It did not appear the editor had ever been at a wedding or they would have known that.

    David promised to get us a revised one several times, but nothing happened. Now David won't even return phone calls. I called last night, a woman answered (probably by accident) and said he was in the pool. I was glad to see the money we paid him was making someone happy. We used him 3 times prior, and her husband’s family twice. We were all very pleased and trusted him with this sacred event. It is apparent by this experience, and other reviews online he is off the rails and not the same person, or vendor he was in the past. This is sad. Please warn everyone you know to stay away. You pay people like this to preserve your memories. He made the experience a nightmare.

    Scammer alert!! Do Not Use!

    Scammer alert!! Do Not Use! I cannot even believe this photographer is even allowed to be featured on this site. Wedding Wire- remove him at once! He did our photos and our video and scammed us out of our albums. We paid a lot for our albums up front and met with him to narrow down the pictures and he charged us even more! To make a long story short, he took our money, moved his business, and stopped responding to texts and returning phone calls! It’s been 5 years now. Please do not use him! You will regret it!

    REGRET AND DISAPPOINTMENT. We hired David based on a list of “preferred vendors” that our venue provided. We also met with him once before we signed and he seemed very enthusiastic and gave us a very good “sales” pitch.
    In short, since then, working with him has been extremely difficult and disappointing from our perspective (note that I am typing this in the present tense since we just got our album and are actually still trying to finalize our wedding video nearly 2 YEARS and 3 MONTHS after our wedding), as discussed more below. His rate was in line with some other popular photographers that we considered, but the product and services have fallen far short of what we had hoped for. He has also taken days and days to respond to our repeated texts, phone calls and emails, and also canceled and/or postponed a number of our appointments, sometimes at the last minute, based on excuses ranging from illnesses and hospitalizations among his staff and their families to vomiting and diarrhea (i.e. we actually got a text from him once saying “bad stomach things coming out both ends”). Worse though, his video crew failed in our opinion to properly capture what we considered to be the most important part of the wedding ceremony, extended and uninterrupted footage of the bride and her parents walking down the aisle. And to add insult to injury, since we received the video, he's repeatedly told us that they actually had additional footage and would fix it, but to date he has still not done so. We have also repeatedly asked him for all of the raw video footage, including from the ceremony (i.e. our hope being that we can at least try to have a new video made at our own additional expense by a different vendor to our liking), but he has likewise not provided that to us either. There are so many wedding photographers in the area who have received great word of mouth and online reviews, so it's really unfortunate and regretful that we’ve had such a disappointing experience : (

    If you want anything in a timely manner do NOT use David Todd. I used him twice in the past and was happy. In this digital age there is no reason not to have a video immediately. I had non digital videos two weeks after affairs in the past. He does not return phone calls and it’s been 14 months and still no portrait or wedding video. He has no sense of how to run a business. I leave messages for over a week and he still doesn’t respond.

    My Advice would be not to use David Todd. It will take so many years to get your album and video that you'll be celebrating your 10th anniversary before seeing yourself on the big day!
    Our family are upset, david was paid in full but 7 years later we are still waiting for our things.

    Still haven't received my video from 4 years ago. Of course he was paid in full. Very sad because he is very talented and his book are beautiful. If you decide to use him I would not pay him until you have a finished product.
