ABOUT DAVE

A photojournalist by trade and a regular contributor to the Los Angeles Times, Dave Getzschman brings a skill set to wedding photography that is highly complimentary. He shoots fast and remains unobtrusive, steadfastly seeking images that communicate what is unique about each wedding.

His iconic 2006 photo of presidential candidate Barack Obama earned him honors from Pictures of the Year International, the premier annual showcase of the world's finest photojournalism. His images have been published in Time, Newsweek, BusinessWeek, Fast Company, Maxim, Photo District News, and every major newspaper in America.
