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!

kari and james

kari and james are librarians. they love books. they love each other.

so it was fitting that we started their pictures at the c. burr artz library in downtown frederick. stacks and stacks of books all to ourselves. not having to worry about being quiet, not that we did make lots of noise anyway!

they were married at the delaplaine visual arts center, a super place for a low-key wedding! just a few family and friends attended, but the love was everywhere, despite the weather not being so nice (more rain!).
