We are SO lucky we found Daniel for our Big Sur elopement!
My now husband I planned a last minute elopement because our original plans got derailed by Covid. We chanced upon Daniel's photography services on an extensive search, and we are SO glad we found him! Daniel knew of a private and special location for our elopement that we would not have been able to find without him. If not for him, we may have given up on our dream to elope in Big Sur!
We love our photos so much!! They really capture every moment of our elopement and the beauty of Big Sur. The colors are phenomenal, and we are so happy looking at them. We couldn't have asked for a better day! Daniel was very professional and friendly. We also appreciated his energy and excitement in capturing our day- we could tell he was just as amped as we were and was great at cheering us on!
Thank you again, Daniel! Can't wait to share these with our family and friends.

Hands Down Best Photographer
Daniel James is hands down the best photographer I've ever worked with. He guided us with poses and the photos came out dreamy, moody, romantic, cinematic. I could not have dreamed of more better photos. Thank you Daniel!!!!!

Amazing experience!
We had an amazing experience with Daniel! He captured both our proposal and our wedding and we absolutely love the photos from each. Neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera but Daniel made us feel natural and relaxed. He's an expert on what poses and lighting and spaces make great photos. He is super friendly and responsive and so fun to work with! We would highly recommend him!

Classy and Polished Lifestyle Shoot
Daniel delivered the lifestyle shoot of my dreams! It was fun to do, he was down to earth and relaxed, and the photos were dreamy, a touch gritty, and felt like they could be in an editorial magazine, I could not recommend him enough! He is very educated and knowledgeable and such a truly nice guy!
