Wonderful Engagement Experience - I thought finding a professional photographer, in a country that I am not native to, to capture our engagement would be difficult. However, by chance, I found David. After booking with David, he promptly messaged me through Viator before we moved our discussion to WhatsApp for more seamless communication.
He quickly calmed my nerves with his clear communication, coordination, and by providing suggestions on different locations and ideas to make the proposal more special. This was a big moment for me as I was proposing to my girlfriend of 7 years, and I was more nervous about the execution of the proposal than the proposal itself. David understood this, and helped to thoroughly plan every detail to ensure it went smoothly. He was kind enough to bring roses and champagne for me to give to my fiancée after I proposed.
From my personal experience, it is obvious that David is a highly skilled, knowledgeable, and professional photographer who was a pleasure to work with. David captured the proposal exceptionally well. He knew the area in and out, and he took us to different locations to get a variety of shots. David’s friendly approach made the entire session feel natural and fun, even though it was Taylor and I’s first photo shoot with a professional.
It was a very sunny day, but this did not stop David from capturing beautiful photos of us. He has expertise in adapting to challenges like lighting, posing and positioning, and more. His photography and editing skills are of the highest quality. He even provided a quick turnaround on a few of the photos so that we could share them with family and friends.
I’d hire David again in a heartbeat. I’d also recommend him to friends, family, or anyone in need of a professional photographer.
David, thank you for your amazing effort and work towards capturing our engagement. Thank you for making us feel comfortable in the moment, for your communication and coordination leading up to the moment, and for capturing memories that we will treasure forever.
It was a please to get to know you. I wish you all the success in your career, and all the best for you and your family.

A proposal, beautifully memorialized - When I was looking for professionals to capture our engagement, I was very nervous about who to hire. This was a special moment, and I wanted to make sure it was captured in a way that would be true to the moment and the personalities of both my fiancé and myself.
I was very fortunate to have chosen David, and Romantic Tour Amsterdam for our special moment. David was an absolute professional. He was very responsive in coordinating the event with me prior to the shoot, and he made me feel comfortable that the moment would be shot in a way that would produce gorgeous photos. We texted back and forth the week prior to the date, and he meticulously covered every detail of the day. In retrospect, this was key. I was terribly nervous to propose, and having one less thing to worry about made the moment special.
Apart from being a fantastic photographer, David was compassionate, funny, and generally brought a great atmosphere to the shoot. Both my fiancé and I felt totally comfortable in front of the camera while David was shooting, something which is pretty atypical for both of us since we are actually pretty shy people. With David's professionalism and calm demeanor, he put us both at ease so the photos would turn out well.
David's photography skills are second to none, and I can say the same about his editing skills as well. After the shoot, David offered us several photos of his choosing that he edited. They turned out amazingly. He then offered 20 additional photos to be edited. He edited them expeditiously and they turned out to be absolutely gorgeous. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives.
If you are looking for a fantastic photos, for whatever occasion you may have planned, I can strongly recommend stopping your search here. Just hire David. He will do an excellent job.
To David:
Thank you for making memories for Murphy and I. You have made us so incredibly happy with your work. Thank you for all you do, and I hope that you are taking some beautiful photos of the flowers this April. Cheers!

I could not have asked for a better photographer!! - I had David photograph my proposal on a private canal tour in Amsterdam. He worked very hard to make sure all the details of the photoshoot and surprise were planned out, which really helped reduce my stress during such a big moment. All of his photos turned out amazing and the turnaround time to receive them was very quick!
David was incredibly professional and very friendly throughout the whole experience. My fiancé and I loved our experience with him and the boat captain on our tour before, during and after the proposal. If anyone needs a photographer in Amsterdam, I would highly recommend David!

A great way to capture a moment in time - David was incredibly easy to work with! First, he was very communicative. I booked the photoshoot rather late at night for the following morning, and he promptly confirmed that we could meet at the scheduled time. We met at the location of the first photoshoots and chatted for a few minutes. He was very good at explaining how to make natural poses! He was very professional but also very funny. As we walked to the other locations, he ultimately gave a me a mini tour of Amsterdam and shared some fun facts. David made the photoshoot very enjoyable! I am very happy with the pictures he took (and so are my friends!). I will definitely save his number for future photoshoots. Thank you David!

⭐️ Amazing experience ⭐️ - We had our engagement photo shoot with David. He was extremely nice and professional! We could communicate with him effortlessly as he’s a native English speaker. He gave instructions that made it super easy for us to pose and he knew a lot of spots for the pictures. We received the first few photos really quickly and could choose more than enough pictures from the rest. The final photos are just as great as the time we had during the shoot :)

Don't miss out! - This was even better than I thought it would be. David makes you feel comfortable and confident. In addition to capturing one if a kind photos in Amsterdam, you get a little history of the city. Be prepared to walk a bit. It's so worth it, especially if you are traveling solo.

Best Experience I had during my trip to Amsterdam! - Even though this trip was almost a year ago, I still remember the experience like it was yesterday! I booked this experience as a solo traveler to learn, and have from great shots from my trip. I was lucky enough to be the only one that booked for the day, and got an awesome personal experience with David. David was very knowledgable about photography and assisted me in adjusting my focal points to take better shots! He was also super friendly and gave great recommendations and took me to sights to which I would have never found in Amsterdam. I highly recommend booking this experience as the quality of shots and personal experience made this experience something to remember the most of my trip. I cannot wait to return in the summer to book this experience again! Thanks for an awesome time David!
Cheers,
Jon
