David Lau Photography

My FAVORITE vendor!!!! I love David and Amy (his assistant and fiancée) They were not only so professional, but just the nicest people. We loved him from the first moment we met him and didn’t look any further after meeting him. His prices were by far the best and his work unique. We love the style of his photography.

I am already giving David 5 stars because he already (within a week) sent me samples! I LOVE them!!!!

His prices have gone up since we booked him, but believe me he is still a bit cheaper and sooooo worth every penny.

David has a lot of creative ideas and is very nice. It was a pleasure working with such a nice and talented photographer.

David was suggested to us from fellow brides. I cannot thank them enough! We fired our original photographer and thankfully David was available. I've seen a few teasers and that was enough to solidify my insanely high opinion of him and his wife, Amy! David put up with my crazy emails and the day of, my mother with her own camera! He and Amy came over and went right to work. When I got the dress on, I panicked and got very nervous. He and Amy kicked everyone out and took pictures of just me and completely calmed me down. Amy and Dave's best friends were getting married the day of our wedding so Amy left after the first dance and they had asked another photographer, Joe, to work with them. Joe fit right in with our Italian families. He was with Jim and the guys before the ceremony and kept them laughing. He was a fantastic addition. I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of pictures that were taken. Even when our reception site did not have a table for them to sit at for dinner, they were completely relaxed about it (I on the other hand was horrible embarrassed!). I don't think I can express my thanks and appreciation to Dave, Amy and Joe for their work and I haven't even seen all the pictures! Dave has been so kind to us and even helped Jim out during his job search last fall. They are amazing! We are doing our Trash the Dress photo shoot with them on Sept 8th and we cannot wait for it! Highly recommended!

David and Amy are THE BEST!! They are a wonderful husband and wife team that work so well together and have SO much talent. We clicked with them immediately, they were the only photographers we met with and we knew they were the ones! They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire wedding process, from our mini-engagement session to the wedding day. They were never obtrusive, and were so flexible - they even toughed it out through the rain during our outdoor ceremony. They never once complained or lost enthusiasm for our big day. They put up with our families who wanted formal shots with every table and family at the wedding! David and Amy are a class act and totally exceeded all our expectations. We love their work and loved them! They are by far one of our favorite vendors!

David and his wife Amy were one of the BEST choices we made for our wedding. We fell in love with their site and the fact that their beautiful photos were natural and non posy. David and Amy's style fit what we were looking for. We did our engagement session with them first in Hoboken and Jersey City and the photos were soooo AMAZING! They were able to capture us in our true spirit. Our wedding photos were TO DIE FOR!!! We have looked at them over and over again and are still wondering "How and when did they get this shot." They captured so many beautiful shots and we never knew when they were taken. David and Amy recommended a photo booth and our guests had a blast. We highly recommend David Lau Photography. They are very passionate about their work and are
their craft is close to perfection. The quality of our photos speak for itself........

Dorothy and Mark Nichols,
Married 8/23/08

He & his assistant/fiancé Amy were wonderful!!!! They were there all day and I got the proofs back within a few weeks and the website was up within three weeks.

David and Amy Lau are amazing photographers worth evey penny that we spent on them! Finding a good photographer was very important to us during the wedding planning process. From our first meeting with David we felt very comfortable with him and with his style. We also liked the fact that they are a husband and wife team who were recently married themselves. We met Amy during our engagement photo session and was equally impressed with her and how well they worked together. They were very easy to deal with and responded quickly throughout our planning period and after the wedding.

I can't say enough about how wonderful they were on the wedding day. Everyone loved having them around, even my cranky 80 year old grandmother! While we were getting ready and during the ceremony you barely knew they were around and I was amazed at some of the beautiful moments they captured. But, some of my favorite photos of the day were the formals of us, our family, and our bridal party. Everyone who sees them raves about how beautifully they came out! They took all of the photos that we asked for and were always around to capture the special moments.

They showed us about 30 teasers very quickly after the wedding and we had our proofs (online and hard copies) as well as a disk with all images only 6 weeks after the wedding. Amy also designed our album. She works closely with you during the album design process to make sure it meets all expectations. I love the design that she did and I am really looking forward to seeing the final product in my hands!

David and Amy Lau are amazing photographers and you won't regret choosing them to photograph your wedding! They are true professionals and artists!

I was very impressed with David Lau and his fiancee Amy. David was just beginning his wedding photography business, so his rate was very affordable for what we received in return. David and Amy showed up to the hotel early and was in the right places at the right times. I gave them creative freedom and I'm glad I did.They were unobtrusive- I hardly noticed them. They also captured all of the moments that were important. I was impressed at the details that they captured that are easily forgotten- the kids table decorations, placecards, etc. They had very inventive ideas about where to shoot and in what groups/combinations of people that I wouldn't have thought of. The background and lighting was beautiful. One of the best features was the fact that we were able to get a CD with the photos and the rights to reproduce the pictures. I would recommend this, because we were able to take all of our photos and email or make gifts/prints for our family and friends.

"Your wedding day is once in a lifetime and flies by in an instant." That was a quote I heard over and over again when planning. That statement was an understatement.

I was only lucky enough to have David and Amy photograph my wedding. Now whenever I want to revisit the magic of my day, I look through my amazing pictures. David and Amy captured every moment and even all of the moments that I didn't see. Every time I look through my pictures I am right back to my wedding day. David and Amy's pictures are like no other.

My sister found David Lau and we had a blast at her wedding 8 months before mine. Even before seeing her pictures I booked David to shoot my wedding. Just meeting him and seeing his work allows you to be at ease knowing your wedding pictures will be perfect. He is quick to answer emails, phone calls, and easy to meet with. Our meetings and emails were always fun yet very professional and exciting. We received our photos very quickly and David contacted us several times after the wedding with updates.

David is truly an artist, each picture perfect. Being a December bride I had a tough time thinking of where to shoot our formals. David and Amy found great shots all of our reception site and followed us to a friends house where we took pictures outside. It was freezing that day and our pictures look like it was warm and sunny out. I am a perfectionist and only wanted the best. My husband had very few requests for our wedding, and one was that he didn't want to feel like he spent the day taking pictures. Other than our formals, David and Amy captured every moment and my husband and I didn't realize he was there. We spent the day enjoying our family and friends and pictures were constantly taken. My husband actually raved about our photos to several people and was so thrilled with my choice. That was not something he would normally do as he is a man of few words.

My sister and I already talk about having a photoshoot with our future children with David. We just adore him and cherish all of our priceless photos.

David and Amy were the perfect choice for photographers at our wedding. When we started looking for a photographer, we did what many of our friends did, we asked around to our married friends for recommendations. Most of these were local photographers, that didn't really meet our vision for our special day, especially in quality and passion of their work and the fact that we would be able to kept copies of our digital negatives. After so many disappointments, we met David and Amy. After being kind enough to meet at our house, we discovered that David and Amy were gonna be married in a few months and this make a big impact on our decision. We could see that they truly understood what we as a future bride and groom would want as the pictures of our wedding. This is something that's self-evident in their amazing work which you can see in their website, http://www.dlauphoto.com. Eventually we booked them to do our engagement pictures, which was a short session by our decision but was enough to truly see how fantastic David and Amy work really is. It brought my mom (groom) to tears as she thought that we looked like celebrities. During our wedding day, David and Amy were punctual, incredibly friendly, very accommodating we all special picture requests for our families and most of all extremely accurate at capturing the intimate and personal details our special day. Also we had a photo booth which David and Amy have as part of their services and everyone should definitely use it for their wedding. Those pictures are priceless and share moments what we never knew had happen in our wedding day. We got our proofs and photo album within the promised time and the quality of the work surpassed our wildest expectations. David and Amy has also been very kind in mentoring me with my new digital camera. If you're still looking for a photographer, look no further. David and Amy will make sure your memories will never be forgotten by anyone that sees your photos.

Happily married since 6/14/2008

David and Amy were absolutely amazing the day of our wedding. He was the first and ONLY photgrapher I looked at because his work truly speaks for itself. Not only was he professional throughout the whole process, he was a great addition to the wedding party mania with his sense of humor. Both him and Amy were able to get the shots they needed with all the craziness occurring.

All my photos came out beautiful and I've received tons of compliments for them. They were done and ready in a few short weeks and I was so pleased with the way they turned out. If you're looking for a great photographer, look no further than David and Amy. You will not be disappointed. Their work stands on its own and the price is a steal when you look at the final product.

I plan on keeping DAvid's card for any future events that require photos as I'm sure he's the best around.

Thanks David & Amy!

David and Amy are absolutely wonderful! We had already booked our wedding day photog, but were looking for someone for an engagement shoot, and we found David Lau Photography online. From the beginning, David was extremely easy to work with and very responsive. Although our e-shoot day was rainy and cold, David and Amy stayed flexible (even offering to change the date) and created a beautiful portfolio of shots for us. We had a bit of a time crunch, and they sent us all of our proofs, album, and enlargements within 2 weeks- incredible! Wedding planning can be stressful but our experience with David Lau Photography was nothing but pleasurable. I can't say enough good things about them- I highly recommend them!!!

We could not have been more pleased with the photography services provided by David Lau. He met with us numerous times before the date to discuss everything from style options to what to expect at the ceremony. At the wedding, David and his assistant (his wife Amy) did a great job of capturing the shots we wanted, and some he thought to get – which we loved! They were respectfully off to the side when we needed them to be, and they handled and directed a challenging wedding party very well. Afterward, our samples and previews were ready before we got back from our honeymoon. David met with us again to offer assistance with the album layout, and advise on different options. All in all, we got a terrific wedding album and a lot of wonderful photos for a very reasonable price, along with professional and dedicated service.

Amy and Dave are an amazing duo. Their expertise in the field of
photojournalism as well as their warm personalities make them the
perfect photographers for any occasion. We had the pleasure of hiring
them as our sole photographers for our wedding in July, 2007. Right
away I had a great impression of them: they were punctual,
professionally dressed, and went straight to getting the best shots.
They were quick and efficient and they listened to our comments. They
captured all the "classic" important shots and others that I would
never have thought of! Best of all, my husband and I had a lot of fun
taking these photos with Amy and Dave; they made us feel very
comfortable and were simply a great joy to work with. After our
wedding, they were very prompt in developing our pictures and creating
our album specific to our liking. They also created a beautiful
online slideshow that many of my friends and family loved! Overall, I
could not imagine hiring a more knowledgeable, professional, and
enjoyable photography duo for our once-in-a-lifetime event.

David Lau is the most talented photographer that I have ever come across. His perspective on our wedding was truly amazing but at the same time, it was if he was invisible while he was taking the photos! One of my bridesmaids already booked him for her wedding in 2010! I cannot say enough fabulous things about the photos - but it must be obvious how beautifully out wedding was captured as it made it into The Knot magazine (all thanks to David). Our album is gorgeous, and exactly what I could've wished for. If we ever need a photographer again for photos of our new baby-to-be or for my sister or friends wedding, I would not hesitate one second to use David Lau Photography. I'd be too nervous to trust anyone else with taking photos of such an important event!

David and Amy were the clear choice for photographing our wedding. After seeing their website and the extraordinary photographs, and meeting with David, we didn't waste much time in booking with them. We are a laid back couple, and were distraught at the thought of having to do some of those silly poses you often see, but because of their expertise in photojournalism, they took so many natural (and beautiful) candid shots, and even the formal pictures looked gorgeous and depicted unique perspectives. Both David and Amy were so kind and had such a calming presence as I was getting ready (as a makeup artist, I did my own makeup and was completely at ease while applying my extra eyelashes!) and I think the relaxed atmosphere made for some great pictures. They were really on their game, and despite the over 100 degree heat of the day, they stayed motivated. Our photographs were top priority to us, and we couldn't have been happier that we chose David and Amy. They also have so many options, please check out their website - they could do engagement shots, and down the road, can take beautiful family portraits. Like us, you'll be glad you chose them - trust me!

David and Amy Lau are absolutely AMAZING photographers! They captured all the wonderful moments of our wedding day, with the perfect balance between the photojournalistic and traditional styles of pictures we desired. David and Amy were aware of all their surroundings and everything that went on during the wedding that needed to be photographed. They captured all of the details! We interviewed many photographers before we selected David and Amy. From their online portfolio, we already knew they were talented and creative photographers. In person, they are easy going, friendly, and personable. From the first meeting to the wedding day, David and Amy were fun to work with throughout the entire process. They are easy to work with, extremely talented, professional, and reliable. We could not be happier that we chose David and Amy, and now we have incredible wedding photos to last us a lifetime!

David & his wife Amy were fabulous! I love my album & parents albums! I would absolutely recommend David to anyone. I actually did recommend him to a friend that used him even before I did and she was very pleased as well! David & Amy are a class act. They also made sure they stayed to get the cake cutting even though we were running a little behind. I thought his prices were very reasonable. David & Amy treat you like a friend from the get-go.

Words can not describe how ecstatic we are with David’s work. Unfortunately we didn’t not get to work with Amy on our wedding day because our wedding was on a Friday and I don’t think she works Friday weddings, but we did get to work with David’s friend Joe. (Amy did do our engagement shoot – they are the cutest couple and work wonderfully together!!!!)

From the second I looked at David’s website and blog I was hooked. His work is absolutely amazing! He was a pleasure to work with. He is not your “typical” wedding photographer I have been to many weddings and have looked at a lot of wedding pictures and I can say that David’s pictures always stand out. He truly has a style of his own and it’s amazing! My family didn’t even realize he was at the wedding – he captured every second of our day without being in the way. I have been to weddings before and the photographer always seems to be in the way following the happy couple around. David and Joe did NOT do this at all. When our family was looking through ALL our proofs (there were sooo many) they didn’t even realize some of the pictures he took. When you witness David working you can tell this is his passion – he will do whatever it takes to get the best shot… even if it’s going in a fountain or laying on the cold ground. David and Amy are definitely the team you have to hire if you want photographers that will treat your special day like a special day to them! You will NOT be disappointed – there is no way you can be!

David & Joe

Thank you so much for capturing every second of our day. We can’t imagine our wedding day without you guys in it. Our proofs are amazing – We can’t wait to see our album.

You guys are the greatest!

David and Amy were wonderful. Photography was one of the most important aspects of the day. I wanted a photographer who captured candid emotion as well as traditional formals. David and Amy were very friendly, unobtrusive, never bossy, easy going, and very dependable (I think they have 2 GPS units going to make sure they are where they are supposed to be). I liked the idea of having a print of all of the shots, a CD archive from which to print additional shots, and a traditional wedding album. I was very pleased with my decision to have them as our photographers. I also think it is nice that they get to spend the weekends together at work.

I first met David Lau a few years ago when I was MC'ing the wedding reception of a friend of mine-- he was her wedding photographer and, after seeing her photos later, I was amazed.

When I finally got engaged, David was my first and ONLY pick for photographer! I showed my fiance his work and we both agreed that we had to have him-- he and his wife, Amy, did not disappoint!

I cannot express how phenomenal they are. In my opinion, their work leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. They are detail-oriented & punctual, covered all bases (especially ones my wife and I never would have even considered), were patient and flexible... But more than that, they are kind and friendly which, as couples grow more and more frantic, is something that you'll definitely appreciate!

They offer affordable packages and their creativity is pretty much boundless, which means that you're going to get some awe-inspiring shots and you may wonder how a photo of yourself actually looks as great as it does! :-)

Within a couple of weeks, he emailed us a link to view ALL of our photos online. We later got print-outs of all the pics, and all of the photos on CD. The album creation process was simple and seamless and we couldn't be happier.

I HIGHLY recommend David Lau Photography to everyone-- book quickly because he's in high demand!

By far my favorite wedding vendor. David and Amy are so talented and you should snag them before they are booked. Their pictures brought tears to my eyes and friends and family have been raving about their work since the day we received our pics. Their artistic style speaks for itself and that in itself sold me on them. In addition they are super responsive and professional-it is the best of both worlds. You will not regret booking David and Amy as your photographers.

David and Amy Lau Photography was our favorite vendor. I lost count of the number of times I've told my husband that they need to hire me. Everyone was amazed with how well our engagment pictures came out.. We were so relaxed and at ease with them after the engagement session that I was even more excited to see the wedding pictures. They captured everything even stuff we didnt even know took place. Our problem now is deciding on 80 of them for the album. There is way to many good ones to choose from. They are both extremly professional and get everything done and sent to you very fast. I've recommend them already to friends and even strangers on the street. I can't wait to use them again as soon as I can figure out a reason too..

My wedding was just a few weeks ago and I have only great things to say about Dave and Amy. They were amazing!!! They made sure that they not only got every shot that my Husband and I requested, but all the important pictures as well. Any time we wanted a spontaneous picture taken, they were right there for us. They also allowed us to pick a park after the church ceremony to go to and take pictures before the reception. My Husband and I knew right away after our first consultaion with David Lau Photography that they were the ones, and were going to be great...and we were right! I strongly recommend this team!

My husband and I used David and Amy as both our wedding and trash the dress photographers. I can't say enough about them and their work. They were great to deal with on our wedding day and took some amazing photos. Our wedding was on the beach and they definitely utilized the scenery. Everyone that has seen our photos either on their website or from our wedding album can't believe how amazing the photos look. I have gotten so many compliments! Their style of photography is so unique and they captured many the perfect moments of the day. They captured so much emotion in each photo that we couldn't have asked for any different.

As for our Trash the Dress session, we went down the shore again for some photos that would never had been taken on the day of the reception; who wants a really wet dress?! Those photos too were gorgeous and my husband and I felt like models taking the photos. When we got those back, they too were so amazing! I have never felt so beautiful.

From the beginning David was timely with his response via email or telephone. He met us in our home for the pre-wedding meetings. Our wedding album and photos from the trash the dress session got to us very quickly and we never had one bad thing to say or problem.

I cannot say enough about David and Amy. I have reccommended them to everyone I know. We just welcomed a little boy into our lives and I would love to have them capture some of the moments we have ahead in our lives. They did an incredible job of telling the story of our wedding through photographs and would love to have them tell the story of our new family.

David Lau Photography: A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I absolutely adore David and his wife Amy. He is such a sweetheart and choosing him and Amy was the best choice I made about my wedding (6/4/06) aside from choosing my wonderful husband of course. They were there all day long and I could see that they were not simply doing a job; they genuinely cared about getting beautiful pictures of our wedding. This trait separates David and Amy from a lot of vendors, they are both absolute artists and their passion for their art is truly inspiring. Amy was actually more like my bridesmaid that day and helped me into my dress and calmed me down before the ceremony-something that no one in my actual bridal party was able to accomplish. I love her for this and am truly grateful for her thoughtfulness and kindness-she was in no way obligated to do any of this, she did it because she cared and wanted to help me. I must say that I was wonderfully surprised throughout the whole process by David and Amy's professionalism, talent, and wonderfully kind hearts. They were always timely to answer all of my questions and quell any of my neurotic concerns. I was completely wowed by the gorgeous pictures David and his wife took and continue to be blown away by the photos they take of my baby daughter. I would recommend them to anyone with absolutely zero reservations; they are fantastic and I am so extremely happy that I decided to use them as our wedding photographers.

David and Amy are great! Because they've been through the process pretty recently, he was very understanding and went out of his way to make our day very special. He agreed to look at sites for formal pictures because we were nervous about how they would photograph and when we were running late, even offered to pick my sister up from the train station! They arrived early at the site to help set up a photo booth and were genuinely excited to help with getting it going. He really went above and beyond to make the process very easy and the photos turned out so beautifully. They were very affordable, very professional, and we got our pictures back very soon after the honeymoon. They are extremely easy to work with and there couldn't be nicer people to help you with such an important task on your big day. We highly recommend David to take your wedding pictures!

David and Amy were wonderful photographers. David did our engagement session and was able to put my fiance, who does not like to pose for photos, at ease. He quickly sent over the images and book and they looked amazing! The photos from the wedding were also very beautiful (and i got to see a lot of the moments that I missed!) and when we got the hundreds of photos, it felt as if we were reliving the wedding again; they had captured every moment. The hardest part was probably winnowing the photos down to make an album, which Amy was able to do quickly and beautifully. All in all, they were our best vendor and I would highly recommend their services!

From the moment I saw David's work, I knew he had to photograph my wedding. He is truly gifted with the ability to capture a moment in time, forever. He took so many pictures that bring me back to that very moment the day of my wedding-something I have never experienced before. David is so funny, and his wife Amy is lovely. We are so lucky to have found them (thanks to a friend's recommendation). I have been moved to tears looking at some of the photos, as has my mother. And I have received tons of compliments on how fabulous the pictures are. I cannot recommend David highly enough- you must use him! My sister is lucky enough to have booked him for her upcoming wedding too!

David Lau was a fantastic photographer. I would recomend in a second to any other brides. He has a truly amazing eye and all of his pictures are artistic and beautiful. He and his wife are a great team. They both were very prompt in returning any phone call or email. They were very open minded in the sense that they did whatever i asked of them. The year I got married, NJ was hit with the only hurricane on the very day we were married. So we had no outside shots at all. David contacted me half a year later and offered to retake some outdoor shots of me in my gown again and my husband in a tux. He did all of this free of charge. We spent the day in Princeton and he and his wife took several shots through out the university. I don't think there are many photographers that would do that for their clients. David and Amy are wonderful and I couldn't have been happier that I found them for my wedding. Any bride would be lucky to have their services.

David was recommended to us from a collegae and was a pleasure to work with. He was my best vendor and worked with all of my request in a fun and creative manner. He is very knowledgeable and create amazing and unique photos. Everyone of my wedding photos have been compared to magazine layouts and I love them all. David and his team really captured the essence of my husband and me and was ideal to work with. Thank you verry, verry much.

We were so impressed with David's photos when we first saw them on his website, and once we met with him, we knew we wanted him for our photographer - he was so personable, laid-back, knowledgeable and accommodating. On the wedding day, both he and Amy helped us relax and have fun, while also managing to stay in the background and beautifully capture different moments as they unfolded. And we're thrilled with the photos - they really reflect our personalities and provide a wonderful record of the day. We'd recommend David and Amy to anyone - they did a fantastic job!

I met David and Amy when I was doing make-up for a wedding the were photographing. I instantly loved their style and the way the were with the bride. When the bride emailed me her pictures I was so impressed with how beautiful the images were. They captured beautiful moments that only creative photojournalists could get. They are extremely detailed oriented and and it shows in the pictures. I have had the pleasure to work with them on serveral more weddings and I think their work is amazing. They deserve all the raves they have. I highly recommend them! And on a side note, I was lucky enough to do Amy's make-up for her wedding to David :)
