Dave Medal Photography - Hello

I was raised in Santa Cruz, Ca. As a child I loved spending time outside enjoying all the outdoor activities that the area had to offer. From the beautiful coastline where I learned to surf, to the redwood forests where I rode my bike and the meandering creeks that I fished; I was constantly surrounded by all of these picturesque settings. I wanted to share with others all the things that I thought were really amazing. That was what originally drew me to photography and still fuels my passion and love for taking photographs.

I now live in San Francisco with my beautiful girlfriend and our black lab. I’m a lover/fan of family, friends, making new friends, traveling, film cameras, music, coffee, sushi, the ocean, art and design, board sports, getting better at fly fishing, finding delicious but not necessarily expensive food and photography.

My goal is to capture one of a kind images as precious and distinct as you are. I strive to create images that are lovingly crafted and captured unobtrusively. It is important to me to create unique and timeless photographs while documenting fleeting, yet cherished moments that are part of the energy, tranquility, love, passion, chaos, and joy that is your wedding day.

I am committed to making the most important day of your life fun and enjoyable.

I look forward to hearing from you!
