This review is probably going to sound like a fake paid ad, but we've got witnesses! 200 of em! Bottom Line: Dan is magical. He is the absolute best wedding vendor we invested in out of MANY. And there is no one that comes to mind more than Dan when we look back on who we would recommend to others for their special day. Dan and his incredible assistant Lauren Lenko were a DREAM TEAM of energy and love our entire wedding day with our ceremony at the Museum of the American Revolution and reception at the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia. Dan and Lauren were incredibly energetic, warm, organized but not invasive, and flat out *FUN* with us and with our many guests, wedding party, and family members. It felt like they had been a part of all of our family and friend groups for years (which, ok cheating a little here: Dan photographed my brother's wedding 8 years ago! But I knew even back then as a bridesmaid that I would want to have Dan photograph my wedding some day! The memories you make with Dan have serious staying power). Now on to the photos themselves: My husband's "getting ready" photos make us laugh and smile, especially the impromptu groomsmen beer run right before the ceremony (thank you Lauren for those!), and mine include some seriously tear-inducing and very personal moments that Dan captured for me, including photos honoring my Grammy, photos with all my Mommies and my best friends, and my heartwrenchingly beautiful first look with my Dad. Our completely stunning and emotional ceremony photos make us cry EVERY. TIME. Like, literal weeping from both of us. Our family & couple portraits are perfect, and Dan handled our massive families and fairly tight schedule with such ease (Dan's pre-wedding organization and spectacular professional judgment were so clutch here. From his forms, phone calls, emails, and timeline drafts and we knew we had NOTHING to worry about for the Big Day, and he coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors!). Our wedding party photos capture "our people" to a tee. And our stunning reception photos make every moment of our celebration come to life, from everyone's amazing intros, to our first dance, parent/special dances, speeches, toasts, and every dance move we could muster!! We are looking forward to an album consultation with Dan to round out our full wedding experience, but honestly, we just want to hang out and catch up with him because he is truly such a wonderful person with a huge heart. My heart aches with emotion for couples considering Dan as their photographer knowing how incredibly special and perfect his combined professionalism and friendship will become in their big day and in their lives. Dan is a permanent staple in ours, and we can't thank him and Lauren enough for everything they gave us.

I am so glad we had Dan as our photographer and he is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From helping us with our timeline two months out to being a fantastic MC for wrangling people in group photos to even showing my sister how to put my veil on, Dan is truly a wedding expert. He got along so well with our rambunctious family and was also incredibly respectful of our cultural traditions. He managed to capture all of the tiny, heartwarming moments while still letting us experience them in real-time. We didn’t notice him, but we really felt his presence (if that makes sense) and knew that he was working hard in the background to capture the best moments of our day. He was so much fun on the dance floor and kept it alive by dancing with our guests while taking awesome photos! He also set up a photobooth for us and all of our guests across all age groups had a ton of fun. We loved that we didn’t have to worry about physical prints and that we all got access to the photos at the end of the night! His flexibility, warmth, and enthusiasm really made our day a special one.

We initially picked Dan for our wedding photography because we loved his candid photo styles - but after our first meeting we knew he would be a great fit. He made us feel so comfortable right away and made sure that he understood what was important to us, who we wanted to make sure we had photos with etc. We had a super fun engagement session wandering around Central Park. Day of the wedding he and his second photographer Lauren, were both very supportive and full of positive energy. Even when I was nervous about going into Rittenhouse Square FULL of people to do our first look, I knew I could trust Dan and everything would be okay. The preview photos we got are INCREDIBLE and we can’t wait to see the rest.
