David G.F. Smith Photography

David G.F. Smith Photography Weddings, Events, Property and Wildlife Photography are my passion.

My passion is photography - it is my chosen medium to communicate the beauty that I see to others, inspiring emotion through my images, touching the human heart. Whether it is a wedding that I have been privileged to create memories of, an event that I have documented, or one image that I have waited for hours to capture - I always seek out the beauty that is there to behold, and with my camera, I

capture the essence of a beautiful moment. Through the mixing of several disciplines, I feel I am able to take a fresh approach to different fields of photography, and do not feel constrained to follow any particular style, trusting my eye and understanding of light to create images which tell stories.

The art of seeing takes practise ...and often you do it without realising. I took this picture 3 years ago without realising what I had seen .... processing it today I remembered the moment....it was that beautiful.

My apologies for being so quiet recently ....I've been hard at work, and a work in progress all at the same time☺

And paradise it is...my final evening here in desroches and a beautiful Hawksbill turtle made her way up the beach and chose "my" garden to lay her eggs in the sand. Very moving watching her heading back out to sea...travel safely little lady.

Today I was on the beach to check the light at 05h30. ..and was greeted with the sight of two eagle rays swimming two metres off the beach.

I photographed the beautiful beaches around the island and checked out the kiddies haven and returned to the main lodge area ...and what a beautiful setting... for a hearty breakfast and much needed coffee☺

And here I am at my office for the next 7 days...desroches island ... super special place ☺

I have been blessed this year to participate in the weddings of some truly special people, and it has been great fun .... here's what this lovely couple had to say ....

Dear David,

finding the right photographer for a special occasion isn't the easiest thing in the world. Doing that for a wedding is even worse. The person a bride and groom are searching for isn't just supposed to take pictures, but to capture atmosphere, be visible and invisible in the right moments and to make everyone around (especially bride and groom) feel comfortable with a camera around them in a very special situation. A tough job given the fact that the pictures in the end should be impressive and outstanding - simply one of a kind, speaking from the expectations of the couples you work with.

You have been this genius and even more. You have captured our special day in a way that is beyond our expectations and which still brings tears of joy to our eyes when we look at your pictures - they will keep this day truly alive for us and our family. That alone is already an outstanding achievement. But looking only at the results of your work wouldn't be the complete picture: You have handled our booking from 11000 kilometres away absolutely professionally, you have been reliable, punctual creative and resilient and by being so you've been an asset to the "success" of our wedding. We enjoyed working with you, laughing with you and we are grateful not only for your pictures and related services but for you realising all our wishes.

David, you are a true artist and professional at the same time - a rare combination. Moreover you are a very sensitive and truly great person. Stay the way you are and keep doing what you do - amaze couples and help them memorize "their day" as you helped us memorizing ours - Inimitable.

Your friends,

Kiki & Stefan
