Love STORIES are forever Stories
“Daniel was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He embodies the pure definition of professionalism, artistic creativity, and love!”
- Marta & Marc
This is new territory for you, and I recognize just how overwhelming planning a wedding can be.
You’re amazing humans at the most meaningful time in your lives.
Feeling seen, understood, and valued is something you deserve.
From our first contact, I’m here to make navigating the whole process comfortable and stress-free.
THANK YOU!
Authentic connection
Being able to laugh, love, and play in front of a camera doesn’t always come naturally to most people. Having a personal connection with your photographer lets your true selves shine through in the images we create together.
Which means: You know and feel that you’re in good, competent hands of a storyteller who’s as amped & excited as you are!
“We had a perfect experience. The absolute best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Daniel. He’s great with shy people; LGBTQ friendly; awesome and artistic.”
-Shawn & Nate

family matters
Loved ones come from far and wide to be part of your EPIC day, and I encourage them to show me they’re just as hyped as you are. I treat your family like the VIPs they are, and they’re all too happy to share their love with my lens.
friends do too
Your ‘I Do Crew’ easily gets the message…They’re there to have a good time, and to make sure you do to. Everyone deserves to enjoy the celebratory vibe, and I make sure make sure your photos show it!
Daniel kept us positive and laughing during the usual wedding panics and interacted beautifully with our guests. People asked all night long if he was a friend who just happened to do photography because he fit right in!

SKYLANDS MANOR WEDDING AT NJ BOTANICAL GARDENS WITH A DISNEY TWIST.
Calling All Disney Princess Brides in New Jersey! I can’t imagine a more picture-perfect day. Tasha’s request for a Beauty and The Beast slipper on the staircase photo was a no-brainer. From the finer storybook details to the Irish flair, capped off with Tash’as infectious laughter and the EPIC party during their reception, this is a blogpost worth its weight in gold!
Hi, I’m Daniel!
Knowing the importance of documenting life and love, I take photos of my wife Lisa around the globe.
Having these memories that are more than 'iphone selfies’ with the woman who puts butterflies in my heart is a gift.
Our walls in our home are filled with our love, and yours will be, too.
When love and art become one, it creates a special kind of magic. The essence of my work is a combination of Renaissance-era vivid, bold, true-to-life colors, combined with a little Rembrandt-inspired use of light and shadow. And I do it all in camera, not Photoshop. With my award-winning mastery of lighting techniques, your portraits become masterpieces where you’ll stand out in every scene. I can turn day into night, add pops of color, or let clean natural light grace you while still letting your you shine through.
Industry Accoloades
My internationally juried & awarded work is a testament to the passion I bring to every wedding. I consider it a huge honor to be recognized as a leader in the global wedding photography industry.
I’ve been invited to write articles for New Jersey Bride Magazine, interviewed live at B&H Camera’s event space, and published by Rock n’ Roll Bride, EquallyWed, Manhattan Bride, Bespoke Bride and more.
My work has been internationally recognized by reputable organizations and industry experts for its technical excellence, creative merit, and overall impact. I’d love to share with you the ‘street cred’ that I’ll bring to capture your EPIC day! Please do take a peek.
