I am David S. Spence, Chief Photographer and Founder of Spence Photographics, a Frederick, Maryland-based Wedding And Lifestyle Photojournalism studio. I use my many years of newspaper and magazine photojournalism experience to capture couples and subjects as they are, in their own environments. I strive to be "hands-off" in my approach to shooting. My direction to my subjects and 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 and lifestyle shoot 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!
David

Power Plant Productions | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | Wedding | Sarah & Mike

Tuesday, February 1, 2022

For our first wedding of 2022, we traveled to the City of Brotherly Love to capture Mike and Sarah’s big day. David has known Mike since he was a baby — their moms are good friends. So, it was fun to see a lot of familiar faces in front of the camera.

Mike and Sarah and their families spent the morning getting ready for the wedding at Penn’s View Hotel in Old City.

Sarah alerted us to the great window display outside Hitched Philadelphia, within walking distance from the hotel.

After photos on the city streets surrounding the hotel, including the historic Elfreth’s Alley, we headed to the wedding venue, Power Plant Productions.
