      <h2>A quiet eye for timeless stories.</h2>
      <p>I'm David — a wedding photographer with a cinematic eye, a calm presence, and a deep respect for the moments entrusted to me. I work with restraint and intention: observing first, photographing second.</p>
      <p>My imagery is shaped by natural light, honest composition, and the beauty of in-between moments. Couples value the ease of the process, the attention to detail, and photographs that endure beyond trends.</p>

  <div class="wrap grid grid--2" style="align-items:start">
    <div>
      <h2>The approach</h2>
      <p>I blend the timeless quality of film with a modern editorial sensibility. We design a schedule that allows for breath — unhurried portraits, space for candid moments, and light that flatters.</p>
      <p>My goal is not to stage a performance but to witness a celebration. I direct only when it serves the image; the rest is quiet observation.</p>

      <h2>The values</h2>
      <ul class="kv">
        <li><em>Calm</em> A composed presence from first email to final album.</li>
        <li><em>Clarity</em> Transparent timelines, simple communication.</li>
        <li><em>Craft</em> Film stocks, considered composition, archival delivery.</li>
        <li><em>Discretion</em> Subtle, unobtrusive, focused on what matters.</li>
