I’ve always loved photography. Being able to freeze a memory or moment forever is something special.

Hey I’m David Symes
If you're worried about awkward photo sessions with stiff poses and uncomfortable directions—don’t be.
With me, your session will be relaxed and stress-free. I’m a laid-back photographer who focuses on making you feel comfortable, especially if being in front of a camera isn’t your thing (same here!).
I love working small, intimate events where I can give you my full, uninterrupted attention and create a meaningful, high-quality experience—sometimes without you even realizing it’s happening.
My approach is casual and unobtrusive. I’ll guide you when needed, but mostly I step back and let moments unfold naturally. I want you to feel like I’m part of the group, not hovering or forcing awkward poses just for “the shot.”
Let’s laugh, talk, and enjoy the moment together. I’m always up for an adventure and happy to travel wherever is special to you.
This should be fun and effortless. Show up as yourself—I’ll take care of capturing memories that last a lifetime.
If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about you, your people, and your moments, I’d love to be that person.
Let’s meet as strangers, and part as friends.
– David
