About Dave & Quin

We are a husband and wife team of storytellers based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Our gift is connecting – with the people we are privileged to capture and the audience we are honoured to garner.

Over the past two decades, photography and filmmaking commissions have sent us to document stories worldwide, including those in Italy, Argentina, Indonesia, Panama, Spain, India, Thailand, Germany, Greece, and across North America. From shooting world-class performers on the largest of stages to documentary films in the slums of Indonesia, our subjects have varied considerably. Still, the story of human connection through the lens of cinematic beauty is always our priority.

We have written, directed, and produced TV commercials and international advertising campaigns, have had images and articles published in industry journals and books on lighting portraiture, and DP’d for television’s Flavour Network (formerly Food Network).

We have produced award-winning documentaries featuring a variety of personalities ranging from professional athletes to Indigenous Elders to cancer survivors. Most recently, our documentary film, Chef Stories, won Best Short Documentary at the 2025 Toronto Short Film Festival.

With extensive experience operating in both large teams and small crews, we are trusted partners in sensitive and difficult situations.

Clients include Petro Canada, Aviation Gin, Porter Airlines, Lexus, Taza Development Corp, Bauer Hockey, Nikon, Glenfiddich Whisky, FM Systems, and a Giant of the travel industry.  Click here to view more photography.

 We believe everyone has a story worth sharing. We want to help share yours, and we promise to listen, to shoot, and to share your story with heart.

Above all else, we strive to honour our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through excellence in service, customer relationship, and lifestyle. (Colossians 3:23)
