Northern Glow Wedding Guide
2023 - 2024
Welcome!
Welcome to Northern Glow. Photography is our excitement, passion and life. We spend every day finding ways to bring vibrance and perfection to our work. Our focus, when capturing a wedding consists of a few things we consider to be absolutely necessary. Here is what moves us: Building great relationships with our clients to ease the nerves of photography. We creatively structure the scene in order to manifest unposed natural images. Yes we will get the entire family and loved ones looking at the camera but, expect to have 95% of your album candid. Lastly, we understand how important your day is and take everything very seriously. Professionalism is key in finalizing a product worth smiling about.

Always a creative soul, I inevitably made my artistic passions a professional reality. As an erstwhile Graphic & Web Design major, I am constantly looking for beauty in the world around us. I apply my creative training and years of experience to portray the things I love with a unique vision through the lens.
The Foundation
Earthy and natural tones, deep and enticing textures – these are the things that enchant me. I am inspired by the subtle beauty of wood grain, ancient stone, and olive-green hues. There is such poetry in creating something refined from the most rustic of elements.
Things That Speak To Me
My work is my passion, but I find pleasure in many things: long-distance runs with a view; the crisp air and color of autumn; the bold character of a single malt scotch whisky (Lagavulin 16 is hard to beat); the intrigue of history; and the occasional video game when a real break beckons. I married the love of my life in 2016. We’ve been blessed with two charming daughters. It’s wonderful to watch them explore life in their sincere and innocent way. I am learning to prioritize peace every day. Seeking better ways to achieve this has helped me find meaning and inner happiness. Our family is thriving!
My Life Now
After 150 weddings and a decade of photography, I am still excited for every event on my professional calendar. Photography has brought me the best of life. I get to work with inspiring families and individuals, building friendships amid scintillating locations. My job is to seek beauty, to place people in it, and to capture the resulting magic forever. I couldn’t be happier with the lay of that land. The future is bright and I’m always ready for the next adventure!
My Life Now
The Wedding Day
Every wedding we capture is a story and always unique. We want your album to reflect your special day from the getting ready fun all the way to the grand exit. It is crucial you get the images you want so we help build the day-of-schedule and refine all the details along the way.
We love natural light and have full OCF lighting for the evenings. We deliver your completed album at full resolution via online downloadable private gallery. Every image is professionally and artistically edited. We also send you a personalized USB flash drive and an 11X14 Lustre print of your favorite image all within 60 days of your wedding. You have full print and reproduction rights.
Ask us about our products such as printed album booklets, canvas, metal and wood prints. We have spent years finding the highest quality options.
More good stuff! Smooth sailing is our jam, so we offer a complimentary engagement session upon booking your wedding day with us. It is so nice to get to know each other before you tie the knot.

What's Next?
If you like my approach to photography, then let's get to know each other better and set up a time to connect. I feel the best way to get to know each other is face to face. Call me a traditionalist. If that's something you're interested in, let's meet for a coffee or a drink. Otherwise, if a phone call or FaceTime is more your style, let's get it on the calendar.
I hope this guide has helped give you a better understanding of how I work and approach photography. There is a lot more attention that goes into creating a beautiful timeless album along with building a wedding day experience that is enjoyable and fun. I look forward to hearing from you and learning more about your vision.
Best,
David
