10 stars!!! Joel is an amazing, amazing photographer with breathtaking work. My fiance had Joel for our proposal, and I couldn't be happier. Joel also photographed our Indian engagement ceremony and both sides were very very happy with the pictures. EVERY SHOT was amazing, not just one or two. Great guy, fun to work with, and an eye for detail. I'm super super picky, and I couldn't have picked someone better myself. Unlike other photographers, Joel provided us with all different types of shots, portraits: artististic details, documentary style. I RECOMMEND JOEL WITHOUT HESISTATION, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!! THANK YOU, JOEL!

Joel is everything you could want in a photographer! He has a great eye for capturing amazing shots. His style is so unique from all the other wedding photographers out there, and his photos are jaw-dropping beautiful - I love every shot he took! Not only is he talented, though, his calm demeanor always helped to put me at rest. I was not an easy client to deal with, but he always reassured me and calmed me down. I was able to enjoy my wedding knowing that Joel was there to capture all the special moments! HIGHLY recommend!

We couldn't have imagined a better photographer for our wedding day. Alicia and my intention was to keep our wedding as simple and down-to-earth as possible. Our budget was tight and our wedding party was relatively small. However, the one thing we knew for certain was that we wanted the very best photographer for this special day. It is the record; it is a large part of the memory. I had reviewed so many wedding photographers' shoots and while they were beautiful, they didn't seem to suit our needs. I wanted someone who could tell a story, who could capture the moment; someone bold and artistic. What a tall order! When I was first recommended to Joel, I reviewed his website and immediately knew he could deliver what we desired. He is not only kind and humble, but an incredible storyteller and overall talented artist. Professional, innovative, kind, everyone at our wedding fell in love with him. Thank you, Joel Danto, over and over and over again! You make us fall in love with our wedding day each time we look through these pictures.
