I emailed an inquiry about a service they didn't offer and David was kind enough to not only respond, but suggested another business that could help. I thought that was pretty awesome and truly appreciated. That says a lot about the caliber of people at RTP and I'd definitely recommend them for that experience alone.

If you are looking for a photographer, look no further! This was one of the best experiences with a company I've ever had! David and Caleb did our company photoshoot this past Tuesday and not only did our pictures come out amazing, but it was such a fun, easygoing session! We all loved it! They were both extremely kind, patient, efficient and great to work with! I will be using them for any photography needs in the future and recommending them to all of my family, friends and clients!! Thank you David!!!

We've hired David Williams 3 times in 5 months. He has been amazing - so patient, professional, and very easy to work with. And the results are great! My original review from our first experience is below. But since then, we've hired more people and we needed updated headshots. David is so willing to work around our weird schedule (he literally agreed to come at 6:45 AM one day so our crews wouldn't have to miss any on-site work!) He also is so flexible with our somewhat odd requests - adding on headshots of dogs? He didn't bat an eye, despite it being somewhat weird! :) We love David and have been so pleased with our professional headshots, our options, the response time, and the pleasant working relationship!

Corporate group photos and fleet photos turned out great! - We have grown so much over the past two years, but had neglected to update our photos to show that we were no longer 4 trucks and 15 people. We researched tons of recommendations and reviews and have been so incredibly happy with RTP Photo. Here is a summary of our experience to help you decide in case any of these situations apply to you.
David was extremely flexible with our rain delay rescheduling - I think we actually ended up rescheduling 4 times due to torrential downpours on the day of our outdoor shoots! David was communicative and pleasant about all of it.
He came prepared and saved our shots with a special light he hadn't planned on using but pivoted to help us when the clouds were a little difficult. We appreciated not having to reschedule/ setup again or have blown out photos.
He was so organized and prepared - he came and checked out our site on a different day so he'd be aware of light and setup and placement. We are no pros at photography or posing, so he really helped us out.
Speaking of that, David advised on poses, location, and headshots. We got great high-quality consistent headshots of all the employees, and he offered us a discount for when we hire more folks and want to add consistent headshots!
He helped us figure out the best way to get 8 trucks and 20+ people in a shot without looking like a mess or spreading too wide. He patiently waited and directed in our parking lot while we moved and rearranged trucks for 20 minutes. No hint of irritation in him at all!
He offered plenty of options so we could get the things we needed while not paying for services we could handle. For example, we needed help with lighting and color correction, but we had an employee who could handle photoshop needs or blemish correction, so we were able to get the exact right service level to get the best value for our money.
Fast turnaround was surprising - he came out on a Tuesday and took tons of photos. They were ready, impressive, color-corrected, and waiting in our dropbox by FRIDAY. We were seriously impressed.
David stayed longer than expected and was a great value to us to showcase our business and employees - He did extra headshots because we had hired more folks in between the first scheduled date before all the rain and the actual photo date.
Overall, David is just a friendly and likable guy, which always helps in any situation. We genuinely had fun doing our photo shoot and we got affordable high-quality photos. Five stars all around from Southern Outdoor Restoration!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Alison J.Columbus, GA12374Jul 12, 2016
I recently had headshots done by David at his studio in Raleigh and the experience was top notch. I selected him by doing just this - reading Yelp reviews! The 5 star reviews live up to expectation. He is truly an expert at what he does - in one hour I did 3 outfit changes with about 4-5 different backdrops in each outfit - resulting in 200+ photos for me to choose from. He sent me a link to my online prints to review very quickly and he is very responsive via email. I am so happy with my final pictures - I would recommend David to anyone who needs headshots, and I plan to work with him again in the future. Thanks again, David!

David Williams & his staff exceeded our expectations in every category from quality, knowledge, response and turn around time. One would be foolish to consider using anyone else. Give them a test drive and see for yourself. You can thank me later!

Jim, thanks for taking the time to write a review and add the group shots. I'm glad that we were able to deliver what you needed before the conference. David

David was professional through every aspect of our project which required finding the right outdoor site in the winter to look like spring and children and adult model talent. David and his team did a wonderful job on the day of the photo shoot and meet our deadline for finals with superb photo touch ups . Having worked with many different commercial photographers over the years I would without a doubt say David's business savvy and talent far outdid past experiences!

We had a last minute idea to bring in a Professional Photographer for some headshots during an internal employee meeting recently in our Raleigh office. I reached out to David after seeing some good reviews on Yelp and was replied to quickly. With some checking of schedules, David was able to accommodate our team of 25 employees that were in town for the meeting. David and his wife showed up early to our office and was set up and ready for the time we scheduled. They worked with our crazy team and got back some beautiful headshots that included different edits that were requested. We continue to work with David with the new hires joining our team in Raleigh, as well as all employees that are remote across the country, who happen to be coming to Raleigh for meetings, and it's been so easy and a great experience. Highly recommend working with DWPPC for ANY photography needs you have!

David Williams took some pictures of me presenting and one of his pictures is the most requested photo for articles, press releases photos and fliers. Thanks for the great candid photo that catches me in action that my customers and clients like!

David recently captured a half-day of headshots for us at a corporate event. He was timely and responsive to both email and phone communication, and was willing to work within our relatively fluid agenda and timing. He arrived early to set up and was entirely self-sufficient throughout the process, which left me free to attend to other details of the meeting. He proactively checked in with me throughout the event and was able to turn around the proofs for our attendees in less than 24 hours. Very impressive!
I'd definitely recommend David for corporate event headshots and hope to have an opportunity to work with him again in the future.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
