And I'm not only a passionate photographer & filmmaker - I genuinely love people!  I grew up between London's (not then so fashionable) East End, having since lived in Bath, Atlanta, New York, Munich & Cologne, I now reside in Berlin's vibrant Kreuzberg!

Again, I love people - especially their unpredictability. And I'll capture you anywhere.  In the studio, on the street, at work, at play but best of all - capturing beautiful moments on your special day.  My greatest joy is to witness, discretely capture and stylishly present your most intimate and wonderful memories - to ensure you, your partner (& friends or family) will never forget! How do I work?  I work efficiently, gracefully, discretely and I'm even told I'm charmingly engaging...

Married to Maria, I have a team of gorgeous children - Ruby-Grace, Millie-Pearl, Marie-Davida & Jack... According to my critics, "David loves life, shoots people, interiors and the occasional horse", am an accomplished film cameraman, creative director & producer, and aim to always have time to cook with my children!

As a Sony Pro, I’ve reviewed equipment, been interviewed numerous times and presented live - here’s a recent podcast with Tony Gale (USA) and a webcast with Steffen Böttcher (Germany) & a recent equipment review

A native english speaker but for a Brit, surprisingly fluent in German, I'm available for consultations & bookings literally anywhere - more recently I’ve worked across Germany, Spain (Andalusia & Mallorca), Italy (Tuscany, Taormina, Capri, etc), Israel, Finland & the UK.

I actively support a number of pan European charities and foundations especially focussing on children’s well being including Ein Kiez Ein Herz, First Berlin Foundation, Berlin Outpost as well as also mentoring photo & film to up and coming stars.  See fizzfoto for my other commercial portfolio.

And if the following is definitely NOT, I repeat NOT what you’re looking for…

• hundred’s of group shots

• images that are on a tilt

• being told to “look at the camera & smile”

• spending more time with the photographer than your guests

• being told to hurry up because the photographer has to leave for another event

… then I'm probably the photographer you’re looking for, and we're your team.  And don’t worry, whether you have an event planner or not, I liken weddings to being parachuted into often chaotic and sometimes intimate situations - and we love it! And incidentally, if you’re looking for an excellent creative experienced planner, florist, decoration / set builder, performers or location suggestions, I’ve had the honour to work with some amazing teams and addresses across Europe and I’d be happy to recommend them personally.

next steps…

Call me, let’s see if we’re available... Then if possible, let’s meet in person (video calls work for me too), because if our style excites you as much as it does us, and our budgets are of course aligned, then it’s down to good old fashioned chemistry! And only a cup of tea later & you’ll know for certain.

so who are ruby and jack?

Ruby really does love Jack.  It’s a personal story of authentic love, call me and I’ll tell you….

thanks

A big shout out to Sony Deutschland and the Sony Pro Support Team for their invaluable support over the years, to my wife Maria, my little clan of small people at home & of course not forgetting our cats Starsky & Hutch for their welcomed daily distractions!

Also eternal thanks to Bettina Hagedorn - planner extraordinaire, Ignacio Durruty - aspiring director & writer, Frank Freudenthaler my HatBrother, and Camila Berrio for their patience and unending support…
