capturing life... one image at a time

welcome to my blog!

i am david s. spence, chief photographer and founder of spence photographics, a frederick, maryland-based wedding photojournalism studio.

i use my many years of newspaper and magazine photojournalism experience to capture couples as they are, in their own environments. i strive to be "hands-off" in my approach to shooting. my direction to couples is minimal so i can capture their true personalities in the images. i look to find natural, organic light to capture the moments as they are. with each wedding comes new and exciting challenges, but also fun and unique personalities that drive my images. i love to see the interaction between two families coming together to form a new family and lasting friendships.

cheers!

hangin’ with the ackermans

saturday morning i traveled down to the great state of virginia for a family portrait session with our friends, brian and lisa, and lisa’s family. what a trip! mary ann, lisa’s mom, invited my wife, molly, and my son, jackson, down to hang out with everyone while i took all the pictures. thanks so much! jackson had a blast!

the day was typical washington area summer weather, hot and muggy! with a photographer’s friendly overcast sky, we tried to do as many pictures outside as possible, in between running back into the air-conditioned house to cool off! i did individual shots of all of the family, including extended family and lisa’s college friend. lots of people, but everyone was great! thanks again for such a wonderful time, ackermans!
