About

A wedding is a kind of slow theatre.
I'm there to keep what the day is too busy to remember.

Light is the first guest
to arrive — and the
last to leave. My job is to follow it.

About David

I'm a wedding photographer based in Barcelona. For the last decade I've been quietly traveling between cities, coastlines and country houses, watching the same beautiful, slightly chaotic thing happen — two people deciding, in front of everyone they love, that this is it.

I came to photography late and slowly. I trained as an architect, which taught me to look at light, at the way a room is built, and at how people move through space. I never quite became one. Cameras were more honest about what I actually wanted to do, which was to look very carefully at small things and then leave them alone.

My couples are warm, slightly understated, and not particularly interested in being directed. I'm not particularly interested in directing them. We tend to find each other.

Process · How we work

The method

I shoot quietly. I don't pose, I don't shout, I don't ask anyone to do anything twice. The day belongs to you and to the people inside it; I'm there to pay attention.

I deliver galleries in roughly six weeks — a long edit, generous in number, finished by hand. Each wedding gets a small printed proof book as a thank-you. Couples who want a finished album get one made in Florence by people who've been binding books for three generations.

I work mostly in digital with a few rolls of film woven through the day, particularly the last hour of light, when nothing else quite captures what's actually happening.

Beauty, in the way I mean it, isn't perfection.
It's the thing you notice a year later, in a photograph you'd almost forgotten you took.
