About

My wife, Liz, and I bring out the best in each other—in fact, that is precisely why we got married! Being a husband has shown me that love is responsible for the most wonderful events in our lives; as a photographer, I am in the fortunate position of capturing those moments. My approach is unobtrusive, allowing your event to unfold naturally. I enjoy getting to know my clients prior to

their event to learn how to best capture them. The result? Beautifully preserved and individually tailored memories in photographs. My photographic attention to facial expressions and timeless moments, coupled with an artistic eye, aim to capture the full emotional value of your day so that you may revisit it as often as you flip through your album’s pages.

Reviews of Dan Stewart Photography

Amazing photographer, calming presence

Dan was amazing to work with. Due to covid, we had a small ceremony in 2020 and a large ceremony and reception in 2021 and Dan was incredibly flexible in letting us split our time between the two events - 2 hours in 2020 and 7 hours in 2021. He was a calming presence during the planning process and his experience comes through as cool confidence. During both our 2020 and 2021 weddings he was practically invisible during the ceremony and still managed to get some amazing shots! He had so many good suggestions while doing the couples pictures that ended up making the pictures look great while still feeling relaxed. During our 2021 wedding, we did several large group family photos (multiple groups of >15 people) and he told us based on our list of 20 combinations, he could get it done in 15 minutes. We didn't believe him, but lo and behold, we got to our cocktail hour just 15 minutes after it started.

All of that detail barely commented on the incredible quality of the photos he provided. You can see his portfolio online, but what's worth knowing is that he's not just selecting the best photos to show off - every picture Dan gave us looked as good as everything on the website. All in all, Dan is an incredible photographer as well as exactly the type of person you want on your team for your big day (or in our case days).

Beautiful Pictures

Anna was the perfect wedding photographer for us! She was great to have around for the day. Our pictures perfectly captured everything. The service and care following our wedding day exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend Dan Stewart and Anna for wedding photography.

Loving, Professional, and Amazing!

While there were a lot of things up in the air with our wedding due to COVID-19, having Dan Stewart Photography capture our big day was something that was non-negotiable! We worked closely with Dan and Anna from 2019-2021 to plan our big day. The attention, love, and kindness they showed us throughout the wedding planning process was exceptional - we knew we were in good hands. On the big day, Anna made us feel completely at ease and comfortable (and even made the process fun for my husband who is not big on pictures!). Anna was an absolute joy to work with and took the stress out of photos while capturing thoughtful and loving moments. We just got our photos back and it is such a dream to relieve the magic - they exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Anna, for perfectly capturing the best day of our lives!

Absolutely incredible!!

We could not be more glad that Dan was able to be our wedding photographer!! We fell in love with his photography style of capturing the big and also unexpected moments, and we love that we can relive our emotions, and enjoy others', just through looking at our pictures. We shot our engagement photos before sunset on the dunes in Glen Arbor and were BLOWN AWAY by the magical photos we received! For our wedding he traveled all the way from Traverse City to Ann Arbor and we had complete confidence in letting him choose the perfect spots for our photos. Not only was he very easy to work with, he was extremely professional and organized (even our family noticed!) - the entire day felt seamless and relaxed! He was by far one of the best decisions we could have made for our special day and cannot say enough good things!! We are so grateful to have such amazing photos to treasure forever - thank you Dan and Luke!!

We were so happy to have Dan as our photographer! The pictures were amazing. Our friends and family saw Dan's photos and simply said "Stunning!" He was our favorite vender to work with throughout the whole wedding process! He made us feel comfortable. His experience speaks volumes to the quality and professionalism of his company! I wanted someone well practiced in this field and knew how to capture all our moments while we enjoyed ourselves. I had a girl friend get married this same year. After seeing my photos, she even said she wished they had gone with Dan.

His portfolio stuck out above all others when were looking for a photographer and meeting him really sold us that he was the one we wanted for our special day. Dan really has a way of capturing special moments without even knowing he is there, and that we really appreciate. His attention to detail and professionalism really helped make the day run smoothly. He not only took photos, but was helpful with all aspects of the day. The photos turned out amazing!! His final product weren't simply stationary pictures, but rather they told the story of the moments and emotions of our day.

Luke and Anna were amazing! From beginning to end, they worked together to perfectly capture our special day. Leading up to the wedding they reached out to learn more about us and get an idea of our vision of the wedding. They were at the venue early to scope the venue out for the best locations for pictures. They were able to accommodate all of our requests and were great at easing our tension and nerves leading up to the ceremony. Every shot was perfect, their skill really showed in their photos! These are good people and even better photographers and we cannot recommend them enough!

Luke from Dan Stewart was AWESOME! He was chill, honest, and was intent on capturing real moments instead of the super staged poses.

We had a first look with just bride and groom, and I was a little worried that it would be weird with the photographer watching. Luke however quietly let us have our moment. We always felt really comfortable around him!

If I ever need pictures taken again I will drive all the way up to Traverse City just to have Luke do them. Absolutely loved working with him.

Dan is the man. He knows what he's doing inside and out, and on top of that is one of the best wedding photographers in the game. He knows how to use light like I've never seen and his photos are absolutely incredible. He's prompt, kind, and became a friend to us throughout the wedding planning process. He's always around to answer questions and give advice, and he does so in a professional and honest way without being demanding or offensive. He was absolutely the perfect photographer for our August wedding and we would recommend him to anyone who asks!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
