Captured the moment

He was an absolute delight to work with! He was warm, professional, and incredibly respectful throughout the event. I especially appreciated that he was mindful about consent and made a point of asking before taking photos rather than simply assuming everyone was comfortable being photographed. He also got the photos back to me impressively quickly, which was such a pleasant surprise. The whole experience was easy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. I would happily work with him again and absolutely recommend him.

Captured Magic—From Kids to Celebrities

I hired HK Photography (Daniel) for my book launch event, and he exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, he was warm, professional, and an absolute joy to work with. He made everyone—from energetic kids to elegant elders to our most glamorous guests—feel completely at ease in front of the camera.

His photos? Stunning. Artistic, emotive, and beautifully composed. He captured not just the moments, but the feeling of the event. Communication was a breeze—he was responsive, reliable, and clearly committed to delivering the best experience possible.

I can't recommend him highly enough. If you're lucky enough to book him, you’re in very good hands. And I'll DEFINITELY work with him again.

Influences and inspiration

My name is David Rivera & Before becoming a professional photographer, I attended an event that changed my life. While fully immersed in the moment, I realized no one was capturing the memories unfolding around us. I grabbed my phone and started documenting the event for a friend, ensuring these special moments were preserved. That experience ignited a passion within me, and soon after, I became the official photographer for their events. As I continued to educate myself and hone my skills, I knew photography and videography were more than just hobbies—they were my true calling.
