David Mielcarek

I can't believe we actually wanted to go with the idea of just asking friends to take pictures at our wedding and then making our own scrapbook. We weren't really sure about the 'digital revolution' going on soon before we started planning our wedding. When we met David however it all changed. Not only did we see that digital was good (it doesn't really make a difference if the photographer knows what they are doing - now we know that!) but we started appreciating the professional approach and guidance we got from David. Little did we know how blown away we would be after the wedding when the pictures came in. I guess David's prices are a bit higher now than what they used to be at the time we were hiring him. Guess what - they should be ten times what they are!!! It's a steal to get him for what he charges so please do not hesitate - book him while he's available. It's not only about the photos that are absolutely amazing in color, clarity, composition... but also about the completely professional attitude and service. In all areas David outdid himself! We couldn't be happier!

From the start I was thrilled with David. He was personable, responsive, offered competitive rates and what I thought was a fun, unique cinematic style. When he arrived with his crew on our wedding day, it seemed as if he was just as excited as we were. He immediately found the more unique aspects of our wedding, like my red wedding shoes, NYC-themed table settings, outrageous flowers, hot dog vendor, eclectic disco band and STUNNING all-family wedding party and blew out those themes like mad. He is refreshed and inspired by original thought -- when you´re planning, put yourself in the position of a photographer and look through his lens. Be bold, embrace color and do something different. It makes it so much more memorable. As a vendor, he was enthusiastic, invisible at times, but never missed a shot. He sees beauty in most everything and is a joy to work with. If only all vendors were this easy! We lucked out with all of ours, but you must ask questions and put yourselves in the hands of experts. Whatever you do, don´t try to control them! Photographers are artists. David, David and Robin certainly are. Thanks again! Gillian & Roeland Baan

I was referred to David by a friend, and after looking at his website I knew he would understand the feeling I wanted to evoke at my Autumn wedding. He has a unique, creative eye and makes an ordinary picture come to life. From what I saw in the photos that David takes, he believes that a moment should come naturally, not be forced. In my wedding photos, I fell in love with the way he caught the quiet moments that people shared with us and each other, without being the slightest bit intrusive. I've gotten amazing compliments from people who have seen my photos and I've recommended him to every one of my friends who are getting married. I will definitely be using David for future special events in my life...he's amazing!

If I could describe David and his work in just a few words, it would be: breathtaking, exquisite, unconventional, and diverse. He listens and understands his surroundings and the people so well. I had the pleasure to work with David for our engagement session, rehearsal dinner, and wedding! He has never disappointed and continually amazes me! There aren't enough stars to express how awesome he is! Thank you, David, for being such an exceptional photographer, for always putting in 200% at everything you do, for having such a creative mind, for making me feel at ease (because I am extremely camera shy!), for making everyone feel beautiful, and for turning these memories into pieces of art!

David, WOW! At that point, we don’t even know how to express our appreciation for what you have done for us at our wedding day. You left us speechless when we saw our wedding pictures for the first time. What can we say, all of the photographs are amazingly beautiful and original!!! It’s been only couple months after our wedding and I still have tears in my eyes when looking at them, so I can only imagine my reaction in 40 years when showing these pictures to our grandkids… Thank you so much for all your hard work and for joining us for such a special and memorable day. We really enjoyed having you there and we thought you handled all the guests wonderfully. All the tiny details have been reflected in your photos and we are so grateful for it! It was so nice being able to enjoy all the photographs with our family, because they loved them as much as we did. You have such an amazing talent and we could never have imagined having anyone else with us that special day! Your photographs are truly capturing the emotion, excitement and fun of the day. It is extremely hard to pick only one picture that we like, because we love every single one of them…yes they are that perfect! Thank you for all the wonderful memories that you have created for us, we love you and wish you best luck!!!

From the moment we met to the day of our wedding David has proven to be an exceptional photographer. He is organized, timely and has an excellent personality which makes you feel so comfortable. He has excellent ability and truly has such a great artistic eye.

We had so much fun with him on our wedding that it almost makes me want to get married again to have another session with him!

Could not recommend a better photographer/person more!

Thank you SO much, David!!! You made the memories from our wedding day absolutely one of a kind. The photos are vibrant, full of life, joy, love, emotions yet true to exactly what our day was! They are all amazing pictures!

I still can't believe you gave us over 800 photos...I appreciate every single shot you took that day. I can't thank you enough for what a great job you did. You captured every special moment of our wedding day and at the same time managed to be completely unseen and unobtrusive! We have also received lots of praise about how much of a nice guy you are to be around. You were funny and our guests loved having you around. I can't imagine hiring anyone else but you when my sister gets married in 2010!

Oh, and one more thing - the album is a true masterpiece. Everyone we show it to, until this day can't stop giving us (and you!) compliments. You were a delight to work with beginning to end - we can't wait for the next one in the family!

Thank You Again!!!

Out of all of the MILLIONS of decisions that I made for my wedding day, besides choosing the Groom of course, choosing David Mielcarek as my Wedding Photographer was the BEST decision I made hands down!!!

I myself am a Professional Photographer with a degree in Photography from FIT, so when choosing a wedding Photographer, I had the highest of standards and expectations! I am known as a perfectionist, high maintenance and overly demanding. Not only did David meet every single one of my very high expectations, but he greatly EXCEEDED them with flying colors!!! I am not easy to please, so that was quite an accomplishment!

From the moment we met I just had this good feeling about David! He's just a very likeable, kind-hearted person. On top of his personable demeanor, his picture's brought tears to my eyes!!! At that moment, I knew that my long search for the World's Best Wedding Photographer was finally over! He was it!!!

David has this easing charm about his personality that makes the most nervous and stressed bridezilla feel comfortable and relaxed around him on one of her most important days! He knew how to get the natural smiles and have fun while doing it! He made me feel so special, like I was the most beautiful bride he had ever seen! He was 100% professional, reliable and trustworthy at all times! He was also so patient with me, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish! He followed through on every promise and I cannot imagine a better Wedding Photographer!

Every single one of my wedding pictures was breath-taking! David captured everything I could have dreamed of and more! I have referred David to every single one of my friends and family members that have gotten engaged since I met him and will continue to do so in the future! I have never seen a more beautiful wedding album in my life!!! Everyone who has seen it agrees and wishes that they knew about him for their wedding day!

There are no words to fully describe how absolutely flawless David was!!! Both my husband and I will be forever grateful for all of David's hard work, patience and award winning pictures! We feel so BLESSED to have found David to photograph one of the most important days of our lives! From the bottom of our hearts we want to say, THANK-YOU DAVID MIELCAREK!!! YOU ARE THE WORLD'S BEST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER!!!

Gratefully,
Angela Moravek

David goes above and beyond the call of duty. He works "with" his clients, not just for. Every image that he has produced for us so far (wedding date: 5/31/08 so we haven't seen them all just yet) has been just AMAZING. David makes everyone around him feel comfortable and that allows him to capture the "real people" that are in front of him. He rolls with the punches and just delivers!

I have to express how pleased both my wife and I were with choosing David Mielcarek as our Wedding Photographer! He captured every special moment of our day perfectly! I usually don't like having my picture taken, but with David, I didn't even notice he was there! I was able to enjoy our wedding day and still have lots of amazing shots! His creative eye and artistic angles helped us see our wedding from such a unique and interesting perspective! He was a true professional and a joy to work with! We couldn't be happier with the outcome! We highly recommend him to anyone who wants the best there is! Thank-you so much David Mielcarek for capturing some of our most precious memories that we will treasure for a lifetime!

Sincerely,
Robert J. Moravek Jr.

David was exceptional to work with. We had seen his work through friends of ours and had to have him. My husband and I both love photography and this was one area that was most important to us with our wedding. We wanted something original, different and unique. That is what we got. He does the traditional photos as well as interesting and diverse. His use of color makes everything light up, and his black and white very classic and always showing emotions. He captures special moments without you knowing he is there so the true emotions can be seen. He manages to also capture every facial expression of every person invoved to ensure that when you see the albums, you can see all the personalities that made your special day perfect. He is a true artist that is rare to find.

We came across David while going through all of the information we received for our wedding. We were so impress by his work that we booked a meeting with him. We knew from the beginning we did not want a traditional wedding photographer and David was anything but traditional. It was instant connection and new right away that David was the perfect person to shoot our wedding pictures and didn't have to look any further for a photographer. He was so easy to work with, organized and timely. From our Engagement Shoot to the Day of our wedding David was exceptional. He capture so many amazing moments and when we looked through our proofs it was so hard to find just one shot that we loved. Everything was incredible and he truly captured everything we wanted him to with out us even telling him. We have recommend David to anyone we know who was looking for a photographer. He truly is absolutely incredible!

As the mother of the bride, I wanted my first daughter (of three) to have a picture-perfect wedding, and even though we had an unexpected wedding guest, "Hurricane Ernesto" (labor day weekend 2006) the day was truly PICTURE PERFECT because of our amazing photographer, David Mielcarek! Someone who can remain calm in the middle of a hurricance, and adapt to rain and gusting winds, is truly A PRO!!! Not only did he adapt our 'garden photos' to an amazing indoor locale, he actually used the rain to his artistic advantage-GORGEOUS shots of the bride and groom beneath a golf umbrella, walking amid raindrops together toward the awaiting limosuine, and even some shots looking out of windows with rain coming down, that were nothing less than MASTERPIECES! So much so, as a matter of fact, that some friends who have seen our albums while planning their own weddings, have said, "I almost hope it rains on my wedding!" Since my daughter's picture-perfect wedding, at least six friends, neighbors and family members have had weddings 'by david' and EVERY SINGLE ONE feels as we do, that SIMPLY PUT...HE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You cannot go wrong if you use David Mielcarek, it will be the one thing you don't have to worry about on your special day, no matter what the weather might be! Deanna V. Sass, Princeton, NJ

The first decision Mark and I made after getting engaged (before choosing a date, reception site, bridal party or band) was that we had to have David as our photographer. He had photographed my sister's wedding two months before and his work was amazing. When we found out Monika Broz would be working with him the day of our wedding we were thrilled. Both David and Monika were so exceptional to work with. I'm not sure I could every put into words how incredible the photographs are or how David and Monika made Mark, myself, our families, bridal party and friends feel the day of the wedding. They managed to capture every moment of the day as if they were a friend looking on. The pictures still bring tears to my eyes when I look at them. I think the biggest compliment I can give is that almost all of our guests have said they want to redo their weddings and have David and Monika takes the pictures. Thank you again for capturing the most wonderful day in our lives!

Hey David-

The pictures are AMAZING!! They are ridiculous and I am in love with them, thank you so much. Tim told me they were posted while I was at work and I raced home as fast as I could to see them. The saturation is amazing, I really don't know which series I like the best. Even my mom likes them and she doesn't know anything about art. But that's what they are...really, really, really good art. It really gets me psyched even more for the wedding!

Hi David,

Thank you again!

-Tracy & Mark

Hey David!

As I'm sure you hear ALL the time.. everyone who I have shown your blog post to has just been in AWE of your pictures. There hasn't been ONE person who just casually said, "oh that's nice" every person has said how breathtaking and fantastic they are!! YEA! You truly have blown away all my friends and family on how you absolutely captured the day and the emotions!

I am so impressed and am so telling all my engaged friends about you! (and the internet of course!)

I cannot wait to see the gallery and am already thinking about how I want to frame and print the photos haha! So fun!

:-)
Talk to you soon!
Margaux

David,

We have looked at the pictures...oh, about 1000 times and are absolutely SPEECHLESS! I don't think I can put into words what amazing work you did. The way you captured the joy in not only our faces, but our parents, friends and family is incredible and invaluable! You are so truly talented and gifted and John and I could not have been happier. You truly captured photographs that reflected our personalities, and most importantly, the wedding day and we are forever grateful.

From the first meeting to our engagement session, this has just been an extreme pleasure and wonderful experience.

There will be a formal thank you but I just wanted to let you know immediately how incredibly happy we are with your work. We were so fortunate to find you and use you as our photographer!

Dear David,

We don’t know where to begin on how to thank-you for your breath-taking job done on our wedding Photography! You exceeded all of our highest expectations and captured more than we ever could dream of! We are so grateful for all of your hard work, long hours and endless effort you put into capturing one of the most important days of our lives! We have already recommended you to all of our family and friends and will continue to! There are truly no words to fully describe what an amazing job you did! You are a true professional and a true artist and we feel so fortunate and lucky to have found you! We couldn't be more pleased and we thank-you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us the best memories that will last a lifetime!

David, I've just viewed the entire gallery and I am just blown away! You have such an amazing eye and so much personality....it's everything that Josh and I were looking for. I truly feel that it was fate for us to work together, and I don't care if that's sounds cheesy, lol. You had a wedding that was cancelled (how often does that happen?), and we had a photographer that backed out on us last minute...FATE.

Josh and I will be in touch soon to schedule a time to start working on the album with you. Thank you again for everything!

=)

Best regards,
Priscilla

Hello,

We couldn't wait to get back from our honeymoon to email you and let you know how grateful we are for the work you've done on our wedding day. The slide show was AMAZING and out of this world. To see how you've captured our emotions of that very special day was unbelievable. We can't wait to see the proofs, but we know that the pictures are going to be awesome. It isn't easy to find a person that understands the emotions of that day and is able to capture them in a picture. You've done it and we're very thankful for having found you and being able to work with you. You've received many compliments from our guests-and that further proves your greatness. We hope to hear from you soon.

Marek and Emilia

Hello David!
Ok so I am nowhere near ready to go in the morning for the honeymoon, but I just could not resist writing to just quickly Thank you so much for yesterday! I absolutely can not express how much I enjoyed the time with you and Monika! It is so cool that I got the chance to meet her! I am so appreciative that you traveled to photograph my wedding, and even though I know it was not as elaborate as many weddings can be, I am positive that the one thing I will always remember of this day, other than marrying Jeff of course, was how amazing it felt to work with both of you! You are so awesome together, and I am so thrilled to have had the opportunity to meet both of you! You both truly made me feel so special, and it is a feeling I will never forget!

And of course I absolutely loved the slideshow! I don't even know how long it lasted, but I didn't want it to end! The images were completely breathtaking and the music was so cool! It was just perfect!! Everyone has been telling me how much they loved it!

I hope you both enjoyed your visit to Baltimore! It truly is amazing what you can do with a garage door and an empty parking lot! :)

Thank you for making my wedding day truly memorable!
