I always knew that the photographer would be one of the most important parts of the wedding. I was a little worried though after my research because all the ones I found online were super expensive and we were on a very tight budget. We found DKWeddings on craigslist. At first we were a little hesitant, but from our very first meeting with them, we knew they were the right choice. The samples they showed us were excellent and their prices were very very reasonable compared to what I've seen. They were the first and only photographers we met with and knew right away we wanted them to shoot our wedding. They are a husband and wife team that work great together. It's a such a great deal for what you pay for because you get 2 photographers and several different shots and angles. David was always quick to respond to each and every email, no matter what time I sent it. At first, we didn't want to do an engagement shoot, since we didn't think we had time being that my husband lives in another state and he had very limited visits to CA until the wedding. But David convinced us and it was a great decision. We were able to sample their work and became so comfortable with them that on the wedding day we felt like naturals in front of the camera. Our engagement photos turned out awesome! Such amazing quality and breath-taking shots! Whenever a bride tells you to soak in every moment you can on your wedding day, definitely believe her! The whole day was such a blur. David and Kim did a spectacular job in capturing every moment of our day and also each little detail we put into the wedding. My husband and I literally relived the day looking at the photos since we didn't remember too much of it since it went by so quickly. They probably took double the amount of photos we were expecting and the quality of their work was just so amazing. I honestly wish we can get married again just so we can take more pictures! =) Overall, the photography was the only stress free part of the wedding. They always reassured me when I was worried about something by answering my questions immediately. And i was never concerned with how the finished product would turn out. I trusted them since we noticed that they are very passionate with what they do. They love taking pictures and make sure that each shot is perfect. David and Kim were so easy to work with. They are very professional, but also very fun. Our photos were delivered to us within 4 weeks (both engagement and wedding); which is definitely a lot faster than most other photographers our friends have used. Price is very good as well. I highly recommend them. We were blown away with our pictures and could not have asked for better people to work with.

My wife and I hired David and Kim from DKweddings as our wedding photographers. We were simply amazed at their work; their pictures captured every aspect of our wedding day beautifully. We strongly recommend them for your wedding. David and Kim are full of great, positive energy. We found it really fun to work with them and they got along great with our families. Our wedding combined American, Indian, and Korean traditions and cultures. It was important for us to have photographers that were willing to learn about these cultures and capture them at their best. David and Kim were enthusiastic to learn about our cultures and it certainly showed in the final product. David and Kim are a husband a wife team. When you hire them you get two very skilled photographers who work together extremely well to capture two angles of every moment. They can be in two places at once and the final photos we received did not miss a single moment. We were really pleased with their system of a 2-hour engagement photo session (included in the price) several months prior to the wedding. This allowed David and Kim to get to know our personalities prior to the wedding day. From the engagement pictures we were able to provide feedback as to the types of photos we really liked and the types or poses we did not care for. The engagement photo session was a real blast for us. We brought our dog along and David and Kim captured some really great moments with our dog on the beach.David and Kim are very professional in their actions and communication. From our initial consultation meeting, to contract signing, to engagement photos, to the wedding day, they were focused first on customer service. They were flexible in scheduling our engagement session which we appreciated.We only had David and Kim provide us with digital photos, we did not have them make us an album (a holiday project of ours) though the samples they showed us were superb. We felt we got very high quality work and a great value for the price of their services. We have a lifetime of memories captured in stunning form thanks to David and Kim!

dKweddings provided the best service and care throughout our entire engagement and wedding process. They were by far the most professional and responsive vendor we worked with. They were very patient especially since we kept changing our dates for our engagement shoot.We had a 300 attendee crazy Mexican wedding and they captured all the fun and all the romantic moments that made up the day without to much guidance at all. They were all OVER the place and captured many moments that my wife and I were not able to experience. Overall, tremendous value and quality of service. I definitely recommend dKweddinngs!

Simply put: AMAZING!! During one of the most detail oriented days, David and Kim ensured that all the photography requirements were met and we did not have to worry about any of it! There was never a moment during our interaction with dK that we did not feel totally assured that they were up to the task of shooting our wedding. After the initial consultation, there were many more phone calls and emails to coordinate their services, ensuring there were no last minute snags. There were many other vendors that we had to coordinate with for services, and NONE of them gave us the attention that dK did. David and Kim knew exactly what they wanted to do and captured every breath taking moment of our special day, including sunset photos that made us look like we were models. Whenever there was a moment at the ceremony or reception that we hoped there would be a photo taken, there was David or Kim. Their ability to improvise and adapt to whatever we desired, in conjunction with what they already had envisioned, ensured that we received a superior product. Wedding vendors are extremely over burden and the majority of them don’t provide a level of commitment and professionalism worth the money they ask for, but dK is a diamond in the rough! They were very agile to our requests and pulled everything together into a beautiful photo shoot that gives us the memories that will last a life time! Thank you dK!!

David and Kim are an exceptional team! They are very creative, timely, efficent and produce great quality photography. The style as a husband-wife team is unique and they work very well together. David was always responsive and timely and got our photos back to use in record time. We first met them in Fall of 2010 when they captured our traditional ceremony. To be honest, I was a bit hesitant about hiring a photographer who was not familar with traditional customs, but they captured more than 800 photos of our ceremony and so many of them were on point with the traditions and various parts of the ceremony. The pictures were delivered ahead of time and were just gorgeous! and oh so creative, they really took an ok backdrop and turned it into something just amazing and colorful in the photos. We then worked with them for our Engagement shoot, and when it rained on the day we had scheduled, David re-scheduled immediately and made it a priority to do our shoot in time for the wedding, and was able to get our pics back to us for use during our wedding reception in record time! They worked with us through some very windy conditions during the shoot, but you cant tell from the photos, looks like just a breezy evening by the bay. The photos were very creative, and Kim definitely has an eye for this.We had a blast with them on the wedding day, they were timely, efficent, super polite to all of our guests who just keep walking into photos and worked seamlessly throught the day and evening. We hands-down recommend this wonderful team! We are so excited to see our wedding photos and the great work I am sure they will deliver!! It has been wonderful working with David & Kim.

We just got our wedding photos back and we cannot believe how beautiful they are! They literally look better than anything I've seen in a wedding magazine. We have too many favorites to count and are so happy with everything David & Kim captured (around 1,800 photos)! Not only are the pictures gorgeous.....David and Kim are so professional, easy going, and fun to work with. David always answered my questions right away, and I never for a moment had any stress about our photographers. This is saying a lot, particularly because our wedding party was enormous -- we had 3 sets of parents, my sister's in-laws, 12 bridesmaids, and 11 groomsmen. During the family/wedding party photo shoot, they organized everyone extremely well, and were incredible at keeping on schedule and moving through the portrait session quickly (because who wants to be taking portraits while there's a raging party with all your favorite people going on behind you!).We also had so much fun during the photo shoot before our wedding. The weather turned pretty icky, but David & Kim were totally up for having fun in the rain with us, and those turned out to be our most favorite shots. They had us frolicking in the grass, jumping, kissing, twirling a red umbrella… it was FUN and one of the most memorable things we did that day.They told us we'd get our photos in about a month and they were right on. They were so organized and just so on top of things and even got to our hotel early (where we were getting ready, before we got to the ceremony site) to take unique, artistic shots of our rings, the flowers, hats, engraved flasks, wine and other detailed elements that turned out amazing. My jeweler and florist have even asked for the photos to post on their websites. Also, they're married and they make a fantastic team. Kim is excellent at getting beautiful panaromics and David is expert at getting close-ups. Just amazing work, at an unbeatable price!! You can't go wrong with this duo :)

It’s amazing to read all the comments and all of them speak very highly of David and Kim as they should be. David and Kim did a remarkable job not only on our engagement photos but as well as our wedding photos. The way they worked with us made every photo feel as if we were just going thru the motions and not feeling like a robot. The vibe that we got from David and Kim was very welcoming, there was never a time where we felt awkward with them, they made us feel very comfortable and my husband and David looked and acted like they were friends for years or something, that’s how comfortable we got with them. They both were very on point and on top of everything, we didn’t have to tell them to go over there and if we wanted to they were already there. They were always on time and very easy to get in contact with, they also made us feel very important which made me feel a whole lot better, they cared about how we felt about things and how we wanted to do things. The creativity and ideas that they had made the photos look incredible, the vision they had, came to reality in our photos. David and Kim are top notch, you guys both went above and beyond any of our expectations. David and Kim YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!

David and Kim took our engagement photos, and they did an amazing job. David was very easy to get a hold of, and we were able to schedule an engagement shoot without too much issue. When the weather was bad on the day we were supposed to take our shots, David said they were happy to take our pictures, but if we wanted to reschedule for a better day, he was happy to do so. I think that most other photographers in that position would have told me that we had to show up for pics unless it was down pouring. I really appreciate DK's flexibility and genuine desire for myself and my fiance to get great pictures. The day of the shoot came and things went extremely smoothly. David and Kim were friendly and had great ideas for shots (and they didn't get upset whatsoever when we showed up a few minutes late... in fact, they gave us more than our scheduled time). We took pictures in San Francisco and they knew where to go for several different types of backgrounds, all within walking distance of each other. My finace is can be very picky and a bit critical at times, and he was truly thrilled with the quality of the work and how many beautiful shots we received. I can honestly say we had about 40 pictures on the "short list" of ones we loved. The turn around time for our photo disc was incredible. It took them about a quarter of the time they estimated it would. Needless to say, I was very pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately, our wedding is not in California, so we were not able to use David and Kim to shoot our wedding. However, if we had a chance to do so, I would absolutely 100% go with them. They produce beautiful, quality work at a very reasonable price.

After a difficult and unexpected year, my fiance and I decided to take our immediate family to Napa and Sonoma for an intimate wedding celebration. Everything about the day exceeded our expectations, and David and Kim were no exception. We have nothing but praise to give with regards to DK Weddings.There were only 13 people at the event (including my husband and I). Aside from the fact that our individual and couple shots were breathtaking, I think that my absolute favorite thing about David and Kim was their ability to get shots of everyone in just the right moments...looking through our album is literally like reliving that entire magical day. You can expect to look through the pictures that they take and find yourself smiling out of no where, laughing out loud, and even crying!On top of being incredible at what they do, their professionalism is stellar and their prices are amazing. Very reasonable for the high quality photos that you can expect! Most importantly, they're a joyful and adorable pair!Without a single doubt at all, my husband and I highly recommend DK Weddings for a truly wonderful photography experience!!

Usually people find photographers from other people's experience, weddings, and people that they know. Not in our case, I was at about 5 weddings last year, and my wedding was the last one in December. I was asking around for photographers people have worked with, but then decided to search the web and see what else was out there. We accidently found David and Kim through the internet. I looked at their portfolio and website, and I had no doubt about it that I wanted them to be our photographers for our wedding. I absolutely love their style, their uniqueness, and their passion for photography. So we called them, and from the get go they were so nice, interesting, and had so many ideas for wedding photography. They really only care about what you like and what you want. We first did our engagement shoot, WHICH WAS INCREDIBLE!!! and then finally our wedding. Before I get to the photos, during the wedding, David and Kim put so much effort into capturing every moment, and when I say every moment, I mean it!!! closer to the end of the wedding the grooms friends stole the bride(me):) and then the groom has to run and find her, David and Kim were following and running after the groom just to capture that moment! (and there were flights of stairs! many!!) Wedding pictures! : We recieved our wedding photo's recently, and I was SPEECHLESS! absolutely stunning photographs! you feel every single moment and emotion from the wedding. We are so lucky that we found David and Kim, and I would recommend them to ANYYBODDYYY!!!!!!! not even recommend, and I would insist on them being photographers for your wedding, or engagement, and whatever you need photographers for! DKWEDDINGS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! We cannot thank them enough for everything they have done for our wedding!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! :)~Anton and Julia~

Words can't express how thankful my husband and I are to DK Weddings.net for their dedication and hard work in photographing our wedding. From the very beginning, we were extremely impressed with their genuine love of photography and willingness to go the extra mile for us. They are a husband and wife team, and thus offer a variety of perspectives which result in a wide array of photos which capture the couple's personality and love. We had a fun time at the engagement session, and we felt extremely comfortable. We LOVE LOVE LOVE our engagement and 1700+ wedding photos!Any bride to be who is still searching for a photographer must hire DKWeddings .....here are some reasons why!**Professionalism: David and Kim impressed my husband and I from the beginning with their amazing customer service! David replies to every email, text, and phone call extremely fast ....there were times he responded in 5 minutes! David and Kim go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied. They asked us lots of questions and had great communication so they could help make our visions a reality. Every step of the way, they wanted to make sure we were happy and satisfied! For example, in designing our final album, David was willing to create several drafts until we were happy! ** Quality of Photos:David and Kim take sharp, colorful photos which capture every moment. I love their different points of view, creativity, and willingness to listen to our input as well. I even processed some photos at Costco. Because of David's high quality camera and his photography skills, the photos looked like I developed them at a high end studio. Our final wedding photo album blew us away. We were SO happy with how it turned out and you will be too! In addition,David and Kim took 1700+ photos, capturing details and moments in the wedding to be treasured forever. There were some very artistic shots, emotional shots, panoramic shots, action shots, and more.** Value: You definitely get great value when you hire DKWeddings because they provide top quality service and photos for a much lower price than many competitors. I did a great deal of research, and am confident in saying you will not find a better deal.David and Kim are wonderful, kind people who work hard because they love what they do. My husband and I will treasure our photos for the rest of our lives, and hopefully pass them on to our future kids and grandkids!

David & Kim captured some of the most amazing photos from our wedding that I have ever seen. My whole family knew we didn't have a fortune to spend on our wedding and we not expecting amazing professional pictures. Well a few weeks after the wedding when we received our pictures everyone was completely blown away by how awesome they were. My wife and I are not the most photogenic people around but you sure wouldn't be able to tell that by looking at the pictures. David and Kim did a great job capturing the best of moments on our wedding day.I'll even go out and say that some of the pictures they took of my wife on the day of our wedding can easily be featured in a professional magazine; they're really that good. They were both always early to all of our meetings, always communicated to questions right away, and could not have provided better quality pictures. I'm in my mid twenties and have many friends that have gotten married recently and our photos completely blow away all of the others. Most of my friends even paid more than we did. They were so good that after our first meeting that I didn't even have to meet any other Photograqphers because I was that confident in the job they were going to do. A great job they did! If they have your wedding date open then I suggest you just book with them. You honestly won't find any better for the price and who needs to waste valuabe time now a days? Thanks again David & Kim!

I do not know where to start. David and Kim are amazing! I found them on craigslist and didn't know if they were going to flakes. Quite the opposite! From the very first meeting they were pleasant, upfront and personable. We booked immediately. I couldn't believe how affordable it was. I thought oh, we will just basic wedding photos. Once again I was mistaken. Our package included to photo session, an engagement session and the wedding day. WoW!My husband and I like to think outside the box so we used a 2010 Camaro in our engagement photo shoot and David and Kim made me feel so relaxed and comfortable and modelish (not sure that's a word). We had the best time. they took and endless amount of photos. The pics were ready in less than 2weeks and the DVD of all 300 pics were mailed. That's right 300 pics. WoW!For the big day Kim and David arrived as scheduled and captured every single moment of the day. It was amazing. Who need a videographer when you have David and Kim! Our wedding was 8/22/10 and they have already posted all pics to their private gallery. 912 photos! Simply Amazing! I love them. I am so excited that I chose them to memorialize a day I want to remember forever. This was was probably the BEST DECISION made for our wedding beside the venues and DJ Tempoe. If I could give and infinity amount of stars I would. They are just that damn good!

David and Kim are a husband and wife team that's somewhat new to the professional photography business (engineers by day!), but not to creativity and style. We checked out several other photographers and decided on DK Weddings because their prices are reasonable, their equipment top-notch, and their professionalism unmatched.

David and Kim make an exceptional photography team! They are extremely professional and have great creative vision. My husband and I used their services for our engagement photos as well as for our wedding. They gave us A TON of photos and have the skills and vision needed to get us unique photos that really captured the special moments during our special day. Their work during the day was seamless and the seemed to just know where to be to capture each moment from the perfect angle. They captured wonderful candids that made me cry when we were looking back through our photos--things I never even knew happened. They instantly got a feel for who we were and that really showed. My favorite part of working with David and Kim is that we got SO MUCH MORE than the typical cookie cutter wedding photography. We even had many guests at our wedding say they wished they had known about David and Kim for their own weddings!!!I would, and have, recommend David and Kim to anyone getting married!
