About

Bowler Images is a wedding photography company based out of Richmond that serves central and coastal Virginia. Owner Daniel is a Virginia native who grew up in a family full of storytellers. His favorite memories are of when his family would gather around the table and weave yarns full of laughter and tears. This inspired him first to pursue a degree in sociology and a career in photography. Dan is known for getting to know your guests so that they're at ease in front of the camera. He is passionate about the documentary approach to capturing weddings and how it presents opportunities for soulful portraits. He hopes that when looking at your pictures, your loved ones will not only be able to see your love but to feel it for generations.

Services Offered

Daniel works in a documentary style with an emphasis on environmental portraits. He'll aim to be a fly on the wall at your wedding. He's adept at posing clients, but always tries to make the process fun instead of stiff. Through Bowler Images, Dan provides a variety of packages for your wedding planning. He maintains equipment for livestreaming weddings and loves to shoot video as well. For BIPOC and LGBTQ couples, this photographer encourages you to reach out and discuss a sliding scale. As a queer man, Daniel is committed to ensuring that historically marginalized people can have the highest-quality vendors, regardless of their budgets.

Wedding photographer

Daniel was amazing in every way. The photos came out perfect. He spent as much time as we needed to make sure we got all the pictures we could want to document our day. Not only were the pictures perfect but he was so much fun and incredibly respectful. He’s now the only photographer we will use in the future!

Amazing to work with!

Dan was recommended by a friend and we could not be happier we went with him to capture our wedding day. We had some unusual circumstances due to military service and Dan was more than accommodating and willing to work with us. Dan went above and beyond when it came to creating our package and making sure he understood exactly what we wanted. Again, we can’t thank or recommend him enough!

Daniel's ability to connect and empathize with couples and their needs is unlike any other. The process was smooth and the energy was bright.

Daniel did a photo shoot for my wife and I very last minute. His response was quick and ready to discuss ideas. He was professional and followed safety guidelines. Daniel goes over and beyond to make the day special but to also capture every emotion. We are amazed by his art and skill.
