  • welcome to our 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!
