  • Raena & Ben - The Hamilton Manor, Hamilton

    “Choosing Daniel Nydick for our Wedding Day photography was one of the best decisions that made our day so incredibly special. From the very first phone interview to all of the patience he had with our going back and forth of questions, specific details and shots we wanted to capture to the BIG day and how smoothly everything went, especially with him making it feel so comfortable, we could NOT have asked for a better photographer. The only thing I wish we could've done different is afford to have him for the entire weekend because of just how incredible all of the photos came out for the "short" 10-hour window we booked for the day of. Not to mention, his impeccable timing of turn around time with incredible sneak peaks and the entire album of photos, we cannot speak more highly of having him make our day so special. Book him NOW- you won't regret it :)”

  • Sarah & Mike - The Antique Loft, Hoboken

    “Wow! I can’t say enough about Daniel!!! He made my husband and I feel so at ease when we were taking photos. He has an amazing personality that just adds to the special moments. Our wedding photos came out so vibrant and vivid! I literally can’t get over them! My family loved him and my friends raves about the photos. He helped come up with creative ideas for our small wedding with no wedding party so that everything still felt special!”

  • Jackie & Sal - The Hamilton Manor, Hamilton NJ

    “When we started planning our wedding, we knew that photography was one of the most important things to us. We don’t take many pictures together so we needed to find someone that would be able to tell our love story. Daniel was the first and last photographer that we met with! As soon as we took a look at some of his work and read the reviews from his past clients, we were so excited to meet with him. He is so genuine and incredibly passionate when it comes to his work. We originally weren’t planning on booking an engagement session, but we are so thankful that we did! It gave us an opportunity to get a taste of what our wedding day will be like and we couldn’t be in better hands! What Daniel does is truly a work of art and the results are MAGIC! We were hoping that our engagement photos would look great, but instead, they came back looking like pages out of a fairytale! Daniel delivered and then some (and the photos were sent to us quickly too)! We can’t wait to display our prints in our home! With the uncertainties that come with planning a wedding during a pandemic, Daniel has given us comfort, reassurance, and excitement- we can’t wait for him to capture our wedding day and we appreciate him more than he will ever know! Thank you, Daniel for all that you do!”

  • Shawn & Nate - Perona Farms, Andover Township

    “We had a perfect wedding experience, full of amazing moments. And after the dust settled and the out-of-town family all went back home, my husband and I both agreed that the absolute best decision we had made for the wedding was hiring Daniel to be our photographer. Daniel is Great with shy people; LGBTQ friendly; awesome and artistic.

    At our first meeting, Daniel really showed what his greatest strength is: his friendly, patient demeanor. He is quick to joke, he’s kind and caring. I felt comfortable with him right away, and even though i had non-stop nervous giggles while trying to take our engagement photos, he never grew frustrated with me. He worked with us to help soothe my nerves, he was super creative and gave us some excellent shots.”

  • Cailitn & Azhar - The Art Factory, Paterson NJ

    “Daniel was a great photographer for my wedding from start to finish. He responds quickly to any questions, always friendly and helpful and did a fantastic job with our photographs. He rolled with our changes day of and worked well with all of our guests. I highly recommend!”

  • Karli & Cody - Minerals at Crystal Springs Resort, Vernon

    “I mean....all of the FIVE STAR reviews should speak for themselves.... but I would be re-missed not to share with the rest of the world just how awesome Daniel is and how remarkable his work is. I found Daniel on my hunt for a photographer with an edge -- someone who wouldn't be afraid to break the mold of traditional wedding photography and who could guarantee that when our moments were captured, the personalities of those in the photos could somehow be felt through the screen. It is an understatement to say that Daniel did not disappoint... he EXCEEDED every expectation. Knowing just the right moments to capture and just the right angles to capture at is an art form that Daniel has mastered. From communication, to timelines, passion, and execution, Daniel has been an all-around perfect vendor... and I promise you that after booking him, you'll also make a lifelong friend.

    I booked Daniel 2 years before my wedding and on our wedding day, Daniel suggested we take a photo similar to one I had commented on a year and a half prior, because he remembered how much I enjoyed it. His attention to detail is exceptional. I never had to reach out to Daniel and ask what the next step was, he always made sure I knew. AND when it came time to deliver my photos, he delivered them... ahead of schedule... and made sure my husband and I were well equipped for our viewing party (you'll have to hire him to see what kind of special touches he brings for you !) Daniel doesn't just capture the most incredible moments of your life, he creates art that transcends you back to those moments and you'll remember exactly how you felt (even with a little too much liquor in you).

    Daniel, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for capturing WHO WE ARE and for adding your special touches to our photos -- which have friends and family going WILD. You are a true talent in this industry and a gem of a human being..

    Brides & Grooms, family & friends...this is one vendor/artist/individual you'll regret not booking.”

  • Ashley & Kevin Ramsey Country Club, Ramsey

    “Daniel is amazing! Being from Queens and having a wedding in New Jersey with absolutely no background on vendors we were so worried about finding a photographer who would be a perfect match to capture our special day. Immediately after our first conversation with Daniel (in which he responded IMMEDIATELY to my message) we knew he was the perfect person to be there on our wedding day. Daniel took the time to remain in contact with us consistently leading up to our engagement shoot and our wedding day. He helped plan every detail and order for pictures prior to the wedding day and honestly it felt like all we had to do the day of was show up and get our picture taken. No added stress or organization. Daniel is not only a creative genius but also so warm, kind, and open to every crazy idea (like filming the wedding party in halloween masks) you have! He became so much more than just a photographer to us on our wedding day, he was truly a guest and friend! If you’re looking for gorgeous traditional pictures or someone who can create the most gorgeous unique wedding pictures that so beautifully capture your personalities and vision Daniel is your guy!!!”

  • Angela & Alex - HollyHedge Estate, New Hope

    “We love Daniel! We found Daniel through social media and completely fell in love with his unique style of capturing the emotion in every one of his photographs. Daniel was so helpful during the entire planning process. We did our engagement session in Asbury Park, NJ on a not-so-perfect September day. Regardless of the weather, our pictures came out amazing and we had such a blast. My husband and I are not ones to take tons of pictures of ourselves, so we were a little nervous walking into it. However, Daniel had such a calming and fun vibe that we felt so comfortable! We got married this past August in New Hope, PA. We wanted to be able to capture the beauty of our venue and all the fun of the wedding. He did just that and so much more! I cannot say enough about how much we love Daniel and how amazing our photographs turned out!”

  • Sue & Joe - Logan Inn, New Hope

    “We hired Daniel for our April wedding in New Hope. From the minute we met with Daniel via Zoom, we knew we were in good hands. As this was our second marriage, we told Daniel that we did not want a ton of "getting ready" and formal shots. We wanted him to capture the candids of our party. He absolutely delivered! Daniel is a rare talent, but beyond his amazing eye, it was like we had a friend taking our photos. He was kind, funny, and seemed genuinely happy to be shooting our wedding. I suspect we may have made a new friend as well as found a great photographer!”

  • Jamie & Jaymes - Waterloo Village, Stanhope

    “Wedding planning is stressful, and the day of goes by so fast. If you don’t have the right energy around you, it can make or break your day. From the first phone conversation, I got a great vibe from Daniel. When my husband and I met him at a local taco shop, we knew we had to hire him. Within minutes we were bonding over music and laughing like old friends. A quick sit down turned into a mini-photo shoot, after that, it was a no brainer. Our engagement shoot was even more fun, Daniel does a great job of directing you while still capturing natural and candid shots. We felt so comfortable with him and it showed in our photos. They came out AMAZING. Fast forward to our wedding day, all the way through the process Daniel kept in contact with us, made sure we had a schedule for the day and that he knew exactly what we wanted out of our photos for the day. He arrived early, kept us on track and even let us book him for an extra hour day of. Through the whole day he never lost his energy and his passion for his work was clear. You can tell that he loves what he does, it’s not just a job for him. Daniel is a true artist, and an amazing person to work with. Whenever we’ve been around him, we have a blast. We’re so lucky to have found him and had him capture our story. His style is bold and dramatic while still being romantic and timeless. If you’re thinking about hiring him, run, don’t walk. You won’t regret it!”

  • Alyssa & Andrew - Olde Mill Inn, Basking Ridge

    “We hired Daniel for our early June 2023 wedding in northern NJ. He is truly professional, talented, friendly and easy and pleasant to work with! He makes sure that you have the details ironed about before the big day so that way you can just smile and look pretty while he stays on schedule. Daniel had a way of making us feel calm and reassured leading up to the ceremony and was never “in the way” during the reception. We couldn’t be happier with how the photos came out!! Looking through them is truly like reliving the day all over again! Daniel is a 10/10!!!”

  • Tasha & Rob - Skylands Manor, Ringwood

    “My fiancé and I are over the moon with our choice of booking Daniel. Of all the wedding planning aspects, our number one priority was finding a great photographer. Photos give us something tangible to look back on and remember that amazing, but fleeting day. The goal was to find someone passionate about what they do, so that they could connect with us and capture our once in a lifetime moments. Daniel is that person. If you go through the different couples that he has photographed, you will see that he truly captures each of their personalities. We were even more impressed upon meeting Daniel, as he truly takes the time to engage and listen to his clients. Working with Daniel also exceeded our expectations. You can tell that he really enjoys what he does. My fiance and I were on the fence about doing an engagement shoot, but couldn’t pass up the opportunity once we found Daniel. Photos are the best way to preserve memorable occasion. This is one of the best choices we made. We love every single photo from our engagement session, and now we have these fairytale photos for the rest of our lives. I believe any photographer can take pretty photos, but Daniel knows how to turn moments into art. I wanted to feel like a princess, and that's exactly what I got. I can’t wait to see what he does at the wedding!”

  • Veronica & Adam - Forest Lodge, Warren

    “We made the best decision hiring Daniel as our photographer. He already had our attention from reviews and social media and we both loved his photography style. After one call, there was no doubt.

    Photography was our number one priority. We didn’t want to hope for the best; we wanted the best - which is exactly what you get from Daniel. We did our engagement photos with him as well (which I highly recommend doing!). He is absolutely amazing to work with, helps you to feel comfortable, and gives direction. He truly cares about his clients and went above and beyond our expectations. All of our guests were talking about how he was getting on the floor, running around - doing whatever he could to get the picture! We trusted Daniel’s vision and he delivered the most beautiful wedding gallery imaginable. Each photograph is a work of art - capturing the pure emotion, true love and happiness we felt that day. Our wedding gallery is filled with every special detail of the day, from beautiful portraits to fun moments and candids of family and friends. If you want to feel the same way you felt on your wedding day EVERY TIME you look at your wedding pictures, hire Daniel! We are so thankful that we have these memories to cherish forever.”

  • Amanda & Greg - Blue Heron Pines, Egg Harbor City

    “I can’t even put into words how amazing Daniel was/ has been. From our first meeting he made us feel so at ease and he instantly understood our vision. Flash forward to our engagement shoot where this man LITERALLY SAT IN THE WATER to get the perfect shot for us. Daniel just had this personality that makes you feel so comfortable and always keeps you laughing. Daniel and his team were noting short of perfect on our wedding day. Honestly, words don’t even do him justice when it comes to explaining how talent and amazing he is. His photos are colorful, magical, and creative. He ALWAYS listens to what you want and goes above and beyond to get every single photo you’ve been dreaming of. He is so dedicated to what he does and it’s so evident in his work and how great he is with his couples. So, overall if you’re looking for a photographer look no further than Daniel. Not only will you have some amazing photos, but you’ll also gain an amazing friend in the process.”

  • Jovanna & Marcus - Lakewood Country Club, Lakewood

    “I cannot recommend Daniel enough. My husband and I are a high contrast bi-racial couple that needed a photographer that wouldn’t blot him out or cause me to become part of the glare. With Daniel this was a non-issue we got a full look at the work hes done and its fantastic. I also have a health issues which can flare at the drop of a dime so we needed someone who would be okay with adjusting. When we met I mentioned the name of the condition and explained that lighting could be an issue as it might trigger terrible migraines but also that while I was fine at the time of our meeting it could be completely possible that I would get to the wedding day and find myself in my wheelchair. Then I waited for the pity glare and the dismissive assurance that I would not need my chair that I had gotten with our previous interviews. Instead what I got was a okay then we will adjust to whatever works for you both. Then he went a step further he looked up my condition asked me questions and got a good understanding of what the possibilities were he had contingency in place that would help should the need arise. And that’s exactly what we did. He arrived day of and we had a blast our wedding was a costume party and he and his assistants all showed up in full costume with us!”

  • Jessah & Josh - The Palace at Somerset Park, Somerset

    “We are so happy that we picked Daniel for our photos! He was so professional and really catered to what we wanted. He had a very organized process leading up to the day and was always readily available whenever we reached out to him. We always got a response within 24 hours. He helped carefully build a timeline with us which was great to make sure we had all the must have shots. We had three different locations for our day (hotel for getting ready, church for ceremony, The Palace for reception) and the timeline worked out perfectly. On the day of, Daniel offered additional ideas for creative shots but was always considerate with regards to if we were up for doing more photos versus spending time with our guests. Almost all of the time we said yes and didn’t feel like we were spending too much time taking photos. He also worked so well with our videographer and all of our other vendors/venue which speaks volumes to his professionalism. Even some of the other vendors mentioned to me about how professional he was! He got our photos to us in 2.5 weeks which was way ahead of what we expected. He even posted little previews on his social media as soon as 2 days after the wedding which helped curb the anticipation. Hire Daniel & you will not only get beautiful wedding photos but will also have a carefree day with him & his team by your side!”

  • Jordan & Jonathan - Gramercy Lakeside Manor, Hazlet

    “Daniel is AMAZING. We had a few friends use him at their weddings and are so happy we chose him for ours. Our wedding was scheduled for the beginning of the pandemic, and Daniel was not only amazing about helping us reschedule the date, but he also shot our micro wedding! He is not only a great photographer, but is so fun that you’ll feel like he was meant to be there!! His crew was so helpful and professional, and helped us make our big day go smoothly. The photos came out incredible and Daniel gave us such great direction and advice to make sure we got some BOMB wedding photos. His style is unique and creative, and I promise your wedding photos will be beyond the normal photos everyone gets (although he gets those too!!!). He is so good at communicating with you every step of the way, from when you first book him, to helping plan your timeline, to after the wedding when you’re waiting for your photos (which we got way faster than expected!!) You will not regret booking him. Planning a wedding is hard enough, this should be the easiest choice- book him!”

  • Heather & Mike - Fiore Di Mare, Staten Island

    “My husband and I cannot express how AMAZING Daniel was throughout our wedding planning process. We now consider Daniel a great friend; during high-pressure moments he was the only person who seemed to calm us down. He was able to capture who we are as individuals and the love comes through on camera of our story as a couple. Daniel answered all of our questions and then some. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are seriously one of a kind. When I look at other couples’ photos compared to ours, it is obvious how special Daniel is. We cannot thank him enough and cannot wait to work with him for another life milestone. Mikey and I love you Daniel!”
