David’s images evoke an emotion, a memory. He has a great ability to capture the day in a way that the pictures tell a story.
It's indescribable.
With well-worn passports and an eye for the avant-garde, we've had the privilege of photographing love and style across the world. That global perspective shapes our signature blend of high-fashion edge and honest documentation, resulting in more than a collection of images.
At David Abel, we sculpt memories, craft visual narratives, and create timeless heirlooms that are experienced as much as they are admired.
For over 19 years, we've approached photography with a deep reverence for story and a level of artistry that can't be imitated.

David’s images are not just pictures; they’re art that invites reflection and connection.

“I had been in several weddings, but there was something about the wedding day experience with David that was different. David made our process unique to us—we felt like we were the only couple he was working with. From the first meeting, David made us feel special. However, that didn’t even compare to the beauty we received from our wedding pictures. David has a calming persona. The day was perfect—and I honestly think we owe some of that to David."

And you went even above and beyond that - our gift of that beautiful photograph touched our hearts. It shows how much you care about what you do."

“I'm not one that always writes reviews, but David is THAT. GOOD. He is so easy to work with, and such a professional! I was so worried about taking pictures since I don't consider myself to be a photogenic person in the slightest, but I was amazed when I got the pictures back from David. Taking the pictures is fun - David make is easy; giving advice on where to put your hands, or tilt your face to the left and right, etc. He is talented and sees things like lighting and opportunities for good photographs that the average eye doesn't see. I highly recommend him to everyone!"
“I highly recommend him to everyone!”
- Abby + Matt
"David photographed my husband and I in Paris a few years ago and I am STILL in love with the result! His use of lines and architecture to frame each photograph is just breathtaking. I love that he captured my husband and I as we were right then (so joyful!), and these sweet photographs will be treasured for years to come."
“These sweet photographs will be treasured for years to come.”
- Emily + Jeremy
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about David and his team! From our initial consultation, we were blown away by his professionalism. His calming presence fit perfectly into our busy wedding day. When we look at the pictures, we truly feel like we are back in the moment. The way he captured the emotion was like something out of a magazine. To be honest, I still cannot believe these gorgeous pictures are mine! David is a class act and worth every penny!"
