Danielle Richards provided a photo booth for our wedding reception. It was a hit!! Guests loved the candid shots of themselves and their groups, and that they each got a copy to take home. We loved that it was printed with our name and wedding date! There was a photographer manning the booth at all times, so the pics turned out fabulous. We got a copy of each pic on disc so we could share them! I'd highly recommend her!

Danielle Richards Photography was truly an amazing photobooth vendor for the Web Series launch party that occurred on Tuesday, October 27th, 2015. My team couldn't have asked for a better service from any one else. They arrived with a large and professional setup, with all of the add-ons you could ask for! Danielle was incredibly responsive to my countless emails and address each inquiry with a professional and helpful attitude. She was also incredibly accommodating to our very modest budget, which we couldn't be more thankful for. I would recommend her services to any one and everyone looking for photography for their upcoming event or photo gallery. Thanks Danielle Richards! The event would not have been a success with you!

Danielle did a great job with our wedding. We chose her based on a family friends referral. We loved here photo-journalistic style for our pictures/album. My husband tells everyone that "the best wedding photo!" was one where Danielle captured a child crossing our path and looking up in wonder. And I thought the moments captured with my mother and sisters dancing were wonderful. She also took our engagement photos at at the Grounds for Sculpture in NJ and they were lovely.
As far as leading up to the wedding, Danielle was great with communicating. Any time I sent an email, it was answered promptly. She made sure I thought about & let her know what photos I definitely wanted (so important to make sure you do this!).
Danielle also has a very warm and open personality which was perfect for a shyer person like me. I felt very relaxed around her and was able to enjoy the wedding day.
Overall we were very happy with Danielle! Our album is beautiful and on display in our home :)

Danielle is an excellent photographer. She is very personable, she provides excellent customer service. She is extremely sensitive to the client's needs. She photographed our same sex wedding on the beach in Cape May, NJ on a particularly hot weekend. Everyone of our guests loved her. But most importantly, we have stunningly beautiful keepsake photographs and a wedding album that is a joy to behold.

Danielle was wonderful, from the moment we met her at her studio through till receiving our album just the other day. Our wedding day was probably the hottest day of the summer, and Danielle handled it with grace and professionalism. We also had seven flower girls, it was very important to my husband and I to have a photographer that was comfortable around children.
Danielle captured every moment of our wedding we wanted, although I did provide her with a list of photos I wanted to make sure we got, she did an outstanding job of catching the perfect moments. My husband and I are thrilled that we had her as a part of our day - we wouldn't have been happy with anyone else. We look forward to working with her in the future when it comes time for family portraits!

Thanks again Danielle!

The more we look at our photos from our wedding day, the more we love them. Danielle captured the tone of our day right from the start. We have the posed pictures, which are just what we wanted, then there are the candid ones, which are amazing. Danielle was professional and unobtrusive throughout the whole day, gently reminding us to look at her camera when our guests pulled out their cameras; the cake cutting was like being surrounded by the paparazzi. Danielle captured the essential moments and we could not be happier!!! Our engagement session was also amazing - we felt comfortable with Danielle right from the start. We didn't even meet with other photographers that we had set up appointments with, because we knew that she was the photographer for us. One piece of advice to future brides; the wedding planning process can be daunting and overwhelming, so keep it simple by going with someone when you love their work and their personality. For us it was one and done!!!!

Danielle was wonderful! We really enjoyed working with her. She made us feel totally at ease and people that saw the "engagement session" that we did with her, commented over and over at the quality of the pictures.

During the wedding and the reception, she was unintrusive and was very flexible around different group shots and rounding up people for them. She was patient and willing to do whatever we were looking for. We have not gotten the photos yet but can't wait as we know they will be superb.

We talked with a couple of other photographers before we selected Danielle and even though her costs were slightly higher than most, the quality, the professionalism, the flexibility, and her personality were well worth every penny. You won't go wrong using her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

It was my pleasure to celebrate Matt & Leo's Marriage Equality ceremony in NJ with Danielle Richards. When I arrived, she was effortlessly capturing the arrival of family & friends, and easily grouping clusters together for large family photos on an outdoor patio. During the ceremony, as the Officiant I had the ease of "not knowing she was there" meaning, Danielle was able to get all her amazing shots without calling attention to the camera. Her pleasant nature, professionalism, and friendly demeanor mean I will be recommending her again and again!

We are primarily wedding and event florists, so we have the opportunity to work with many photographers. Danielle Richards is the best we've seen. She has a way of capturing the tender and intimate moments of a wedding - far beyond the usual posed portraits. The warmth conveyed through her images is like nothing we've seen anywhere. We wholeheartedly recommend her.

Danielle Richards is a very talented wedding and event photojournalist who really stands out among the clutter of wedding photographers out there. I am a wedding planner and when I found her information on WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association) and called her to inquire for a wedding client of mine a few years back, she was unfortunately booked for the date; but she was very personable and very helpful in sending other quality referrals. She also was pro-active to show interest in meeting in person to get to know each others businesses. I was so impressed by her during our initial in person meeting. I meet so many vendors in the wedding industry on a daily basis and it's hard to distinguish what sets each vendor apart from one another. However, my meeting with Danielle, stuck out for many reasons: her work and talent speaks for itself, she is extremely professional, very personal, and takes her work and her clients seriously to ensure that their special moments are preserved through photograph. I continue to recommend Danielle Richards Photography for all the above reasons.
