Make your Big day one worth remembering
When you've already spent tens (if not hundreds) of hours planning your wedding, you shouldn't have to then spend hours away from your guests just to get incredible photos. You deserve photography that naturally fits into your wedding day, no matter what it looks like!
Hi! I'm Dan.
So what's my Deal?
I'm your friendly neighborhood documentary photographer! Though weddings aren't my only niche, they're my bread & butter. I've been working in the industry since 2018, and I'm at my best when schedules are tight, wires are crossed, and plans aren't working out as intended. I'm known by my clients as a calm, warm presence they took comfort in knowing would handle their photography without missing a beat.
Wanna hear me yap?
The best way to avoid scams in this industry is to meet face-to-face, so here's my best attempt at a remote first impression! If any of it is cringe-inducing, that part was a joke, actually.
Hold Up.
What does "Documentary-Style" actually Mean?
Images that capture Raw emotions of the day
An image is truly exceptional when it works as a time capsule for emotions. I want you, your family, and anyone that comes into your life to feel what you felt on your wedding day just by looking through an album - and for that to work through generations.
Compositions that make simple moments extraordinary
Composition (the way in which an image draws attention to the subject) takes practice. Composing shots in a lively, uncontrolled environment is even more challenging. A documentary approach means having the eye for sweet moments in the making and the quick thinking to find a composition that fits the scene, all in a matter of seconds.
Exposures that embrace the beauty of natural light & shadow
Life isn't lit like a movie, and neither is your wedding venue! While flash is often my best friend, modern cameras allow us to see significant details in shadow that previously would have been lost. My kit is built around the same tools AP photographers use to never miss a shot, even in uncontrolled lighting.
Visually striking techniques that enhance your experience, not distract from it
Dedicating myself to documentary-style work doesn't mean I'm without an artistic bag of tricks to pull from. Different lighting tools are perfect for different atmospheres, so I've invested time in multiple techniques! That being said, I'm a sucker for using a studio flash to give even the most candid days a bit of editorial flair; it's perfect for the moments you captured to look like a fine art piece when it's on your wall.
Galleries which highlight your unique connection to each other - and your loved ones
Your gallery won't (and shouldn't) be one big collection of you and your love. If you've planned a wedding, or even an elopement with guests, the folks around you are there for a reason. I'll spend my time grabbing their laughs at the silly accidents of the day, the tears they can't hold back during your vows, and the way they get down on the dancefloor. All the while, I'll be watching for the little looks you exchange and the stories they tell; the eyes are the window to the soul, after all.
"Ceremonies are great, but you're also gonna want to remember your friend ripping his pants on the dancefloor"
