Daniel made our wedding day so special. He is an incredibly talented photographer with a great eye. What really separates him from others is his thoughtfulness and how we puts his clients interests first. He gave amazing advice and support throughout our wedding (and even before!). We were very fortunate and lucky to have Daniel as our photographer and would highly recommend him!

Not only are his photos gorgeous but he brings great energy! We already loved his work before getting to shoot with him so we were already open to trusting him. We had a great shoot with him before our wedding. I think he really made my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera. For part of the session we had the little one with us and Daniel was great with her. It made us more excited to have Daniel documenting our wedding. Our bridal party and guest kept telling us how he has great energy and that they really liked him too. We would absolutely recommend him to everyone.

Throughout our entire wedding planning process we were always most excited about Daniel + Ashley as vendors. From our first conversation with Daniel we saw his heart. He doesn't look at weddings as a thing he does every weekend, but more like how the groom and bride see them -- a once in a lifetime event. When the weekend came around, Ashley and Daniel were not only there for what they'd signed up for but 10x more than that. They didn't just take pictures of the wedding party, they FELT like a part of the wedding party. They didn't just take pictures of the dance floor, they WERE THE MOST PUMPED on the dance floor. We had so many guests tell us before they ever saw the photos that Daniel and Ashley were the best photographers they'd ever seen at a wedding. Then the photos came and we were in more awe than ever. They created an experience around how they shared the photos with us. They shared them with us and allowed us time to distribute them before posting them anywhere. They captured all the emotion of the day and made the day better. You couldn't hire a better team.

There is no one like Daniel Kim. Not only is Daniel so incredibly talented, he is also one of the kindest/coolest people that I have ever met! I have been a huge fan of Daniel's for years and I knew even before I got engaged that Daniel was a must for my wedding. His approach to shooting weddings and the way he captures the day so effortlessly completely spoke to me. When my husband and I got our wedding photos back, we were speechless. Each image completely encapsulated every moment so perfectly. In every single picture I can tell you what was going on and how I felt in that moment which is such a gift. Daniel Kim is simply the best and I will never be able to properly thank him for what he has given to me and my entire family with these works of art!!!

My wife and I are both wedding photographers. I’ve photographed close to 200 weddings and worked with countless professionals in this industry. I can say with absolute confidence to you that Daniel’s approach to capturing weddings is unlike any other. So much so that he was the only photographer we even considered when planning our wedding.

Daniel’s incredible images moved us so much that we actually planned our wedding date around his availability!

Daniel’s not a traditional wedding photographer—he’s more like a photographer who happens to be at a wedding. His style is improvisational, free flowing; like that of a jazz musician. He has an intuitive ability to read people, their energy and their relationships—it’s is a rare gift—and he spends time getting to know your guests to understand the role they’ve played in your lives. That effortless ability allows him to pick up on what’s important and unique in every wedding and is one of the secrets behind his incredibly intimate photos.

Daniel is a true artist, wholeheartedly dedicated to his craft. During our wedding he had so much energy, and that energy was contagious. It gave us permission to be free; to lose ourselves in what’s happening and forget that we’re being photographed.

Over the seven plus years I’ve been a wedding photographer, Daniel has always inspired me. His style is raw and real; uniquely human and a breath of fresh air in an industry that can sometimes feel stuffy and contrived. A unique blend of fine art and true photojournalism, Daniel’s photographs are not a generic catalog of your wedding but instead showcase the emotion and essence of you and the people closest to you. This is only possible because of his gift of connecting with people, his (what feels like) limitless energy and unique way of seeing the world in an abstract and beautiful way.

Hiring Daniel was one of the best decisions we made when wedding planning!

Hire them. Daniel and Ashley are the most talented photographers out there. They were hands down the best decision I made for the wedding. My photos capture emotion, fun, love, wildness, wine spilling on my dress - every instance of what made our wedding us. They get to know the couple and their families because to them photography isn't work, its a way to connect - fills their cup as they say. They work their a** off - sweating in the 100 degree heat, pushing their way into the dance floor to capture all the craziness. If you want perfectly placed hair and posed photos, they are not for you. If you want to feel your wedding in your photos, hire them.

Daniel and his wife shot our wedding and it was truly magical. They captured the moments that mattered. They captured what we cared about and who we cared about. Every single photo is perfect in every way. Everything about their vibe and personality is perfect in every way. They never make you feel like you have to take a picture here or one way. It is just be yourself and we will capture. I can't imagine our wedding without them there and we are just so thankful and grateful they were there to capture everything for us.

Daniel is incredible! Find a date this man is available and plan your wedding around it! I cannot even put into words how thankful I am for him and his amazing work. He stuck by our side through the thick of COVID while we re-planned multiple times, even when he himself had so much on his plate navigating the new normal with this industry and his family. I cannot imagine what he went through being forced to shut down business and then push forward to intensely busy, future wedding seasons. He smiled through it all! Daniel was always very responsive and worked with my talented vendors to find a date for us that worked for the whole team. Fast forward to wedding day (finally 😊) when he heard I was getting ready at my childhood home, he rushed over to capture the love and memories that home held for me. He was patient with every single family member (and their requests). We had so much fun together! At the end of the night, we said our goodbyes, and a little while later I saw him back on the dance floor! He heard my friends and family singing and dancing to “Sweet Caroline” and said he had to come back to capture it. He is wonderful. And his work! There are no words. He caught things on film that brought tears to my eyes. They are not just photographs, they are art, and they make you feel! They bring me right back to the exact moment they were taken every time. I am forever grateful for Daniel and his amazing wife, Ashley. The BEST team.

Daniel Kim and his wife, Ashley, are truly talented photographers & amazing humans! They went above and beyond to make our big day so special. We felt so cared for and valued throughout the whole process. Daniel Kim has an eye for capturing natural light, makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and captures each moment of your wedding day so beautifully. We are so excited to share our photos with our loved ones and will cherish each piece of art for a lifetime.

Daniel is not a remarkable photographer because he is an absolute master of light or because he has been trained to understand the nuances that comprise a truly good formal photograph (though he is and he has) - he is a remarkable photographer because he SEES and then captures that feeling into an image. Every image he captured from our day, had heart and feeling in it and that's because he literally did not stop looking and shooting the entire time he was with us. He knows how to run a tight timeline, came with so many creative ideas, scouted locations for our images, and was just all around the best to work with. Daniel goes above and beyond, it's his only setting when holding a camera and the images he captures will not disappoint.
