About
Hi!
I bring out the best in my clients! I love to create a photography experience that's vibrant and inviting. I've been photographing people and events over the past 12 years. From XBOX, Microsoft, Simply Done Ad campaigns, to Lee Iocca's 90th, the Yemen Prime Pinster of Health's Daughters' wedding, and have created many assets for small business websites, social media, etc..
I listen to what the clients needs/wants are and deliver above and beyond their expectations.
Thank you, I look forward to hearing about your next photography/video project!
Cheers!
David Tosti

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always enjoy a quick phone call to connect! Then we get clear via email what the project looks like, the dates, details.
I'll then send an email to you with a link to a porposal/contract to move forwad with the booking. Once you click a few buttons, we're booked!
From there I'll suggest locations, wardrobe, hair, make-up and other production needs if any to prepare for the shoot.
Then on shoot day, we'll set up, turn up some good music and make some killer images for you.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have attended photography workshops over the years however my best training comes from my Master Coaches Acacemy certificate. I am a certified life coach and integrate they way I show up into every shoot with the mindset, "How can I serve those I'm with today?"

How did you get started in this business?
I was a singer in a international touring band...and then, as bands do, we broke up. I instantly began photographing events and weddings. I was fortuante enough to work with some of the country's top wedding photographers which allowed me to learn from many and become quite adaptable in every situation. I continued to build my business and here I am 12 years later!
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with Microsoft, XBox, Minecon, The Ayzenberg Group, Irvine Co., Cisco, numerous law firms, medical companys, YPO, small businesses locally in Orange County, and hundreds and hundreds of weddings and events.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I just shot an event for a company called Praxis. They help raise up non-profit ceo's to define their vision and present it more powerfully to investors. To see that in action was incredible!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Be as clear as you can about the projects needs/ scope and ask the right questions so you know what level of photographer you are working with.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
I would suggest something like this...
"I'd like to have 10 digital assets that we can use for our website, is this realistic? Do we need 10 or more? How long do you think it will take to create those images? What style and approach do you use? etc.."
