My husband and I could not love our wedding photos by Dennis Kwan any more than we do! Dennis has a special gift for capturing everyone at their best and for making you feel completely at ease. He makes sure to get everything--he doesn't miss a single important beat. As far as wedding planning goes he is a "must-have!" You will congratulate yourself for making a stellar decision by hiring him.

I'm so happy I got to be a DK bride! Dennis came to Nashville for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. He caught the most memorable moments during our speeches at our rehearsal dinner and priceless photos of our special day. He helped my camera shy husband come out of his shell and actually smile! Not the creepy fake one, but his genuine smile. Dennis captured our true happiness on that special day. He always managed to pop up at the right moment, my dad and I practicing our first dance, my maid of honor and her mom getting their makeup done, moments you know happen at every wedding but aren't always captured. He even made the pictures of our food and decor something I want to frame in our home. He is always snapping, and the candids are priceless, of course someone nearly 7 ft tall on the dance floor has the best vantage point! (another plus for him!) We extended our reception past his contract time but he still came out for our sendoff in his pajamas! Dennis has the most wonderful smile its easy to smile back at him and forget you're being photographed. The time I spent with him I really felt like a bridal model and I truly looked like one in the pictures he took. He has such an amazing eye for everything. If he's available, HIRE HIM! Dennis, if you read this, we love you soy much! Thanks for everything!!!!

Truly Fantastic!

Immediately upon meeting Dennis – we knew he was the one! Not only does he have an incredible eye, impeccable style, and a knack for unique photos; most importantly, Dennis is someone you just want to be around! (This was crucial, as I do not have a good poker face, if I’m uncomfortable there is no hiding it)!

We were so confidant in Dennis we hired him to do our engagement shoot and entire wedding weekend.

For our engagement shoot he went out of his way to shoot us at two separate times/locations – early morning in Bryant Park (where we had a first date) and late afternoon in Brooklyn Heights (where we now live). To top it off it was pouring while we were in Bryant Park; Dennis acted as though there wasn’t a cloud in the sky (and as though he wasn’t completely soaking wet). His professionalism during this day showed through in some incredible photos!

For our wedding, Dennis was by our side the entire weekend in Bridgehampton, NY – from showing up early to photograph our rehearsal through to our day after brunch. Our whole bridal party (including my mother) fell in love with him – it was as though he was just a guest with a camera. He truly captured the essence of our big day, from the littlest details to awesome shots of all our guests on the dance floor.

We are still having a hard time picking our favorite photographs – we didn’t know we could look this good! ;)

Dennis is truly the ultimate photographer. He is incredibly talented, very professional, with a warm, friendly fun personality! He captured our June wedding at The Breakers in Palm Beach so perfectly! He and his team leveraged all aspects of this gorgeous property easily transitioning from multiple inside and outside locations. Always at the right place and right time to beautifully capture our special moments, but never intrusive which is both unique and quite amazing given his 6ft 5" height! Dennis is highly regarded in the industry, and was recommended to us by our amazing wedding planner Tracy Taylor Ward, who only works with the best. Dennis is is one of a kind...

We love Dennis! We had him photograph our small family wedding on Oct 3, 2015, then had him photograph our big celebration with friends the following weekend. Dennis brought just as much energy and excitement and spontaneity for the actual wedding as he did for the party. The photos were the envy of my friends, who said they wish they had Dennis shoot their weddings. Dennis is professional and calm throughout any bumps in the road (we had a few - our ceremony and photos took place outside, during a nor'easter on the beach in Long Island) and rolled with the punches throughout. One of his photos of us ended up in Huffington Posts' weddings section, as "an incredible shot in horrible weather" :)

Dennis is unbelievably talented!! We felt completely confident with Dennis as our photographer and that feeling was so reassuring and calming. He truly knows how to capture the most unique moments of love, happiness, laughter & sincerity throughout your wedding weekend. Dennis is so great at directing the bridal party and families when taking pictures and makes it easy, efficient & fun. I'm so impressed with his unique ability to capture the perfect lighting in every photo. Dennis has the perfect balance of shooting the romantic and traditional photos, but also makes sure to capture the artistic, fun & unexpected moments. Simply stunning work - I will cherish these photos forever. They exceeded our expectations.

Dennis Kwan is the best of the best. From start to finish, everything was impeccable. Dennis is an amazing photographer and took the most magnificent photos. He was able to help my husband and I feel relaxed and take photos that really felt like us and showcased both our love for each other and our personalities. We shot in several locations, and along the way he found additional spots where we got particularly great shots. When I got the photos, I simply could not choose among my favorites - they were all so different and so fabulous. I could not be happier with the entire experience. I would absolutely recommend!!

Dennis photographed my client's wedding that I coordinated in Nassau, Bahamas earlier this year, and he truly captured not only the love and emotion of the wedding day, but also the beauty of the entire setting. I was completely blown away with his ability to visualise each shot, and with the creativity and inspiration displayed in the final product. Dennis is kind and so accommodating to his clients. It was so lovely to work alongside him and I would recommend him to anyone who wants great quality and a great experience, whether your wedding is near or far!

Hiring Dennis Kwan was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process! From the beginning he was very helpful, responsive, and flexible. We set up a meeting with him in NYC to chat and look at his portfolio, and we hired him the next day. Dennis was more than willing to drive 3hrs to Montauk for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. On our wedding day, Dennis was really on the ball and the pictures turned out amazing. He is so happy and funny, which is exactly the kind of person you want to be around on your wedding day! I had several ideas for photo ops (the Montauk lighthouse, the beach, the dock, on a sailboat, on the deck...) and Dennis was able to do them all efficiently and beautifully. Within 24 hours of the wedding he sent us a few shots from our first look to share on social media right away. Within a week, he had sent over 100 shots from our crazy dance floor (his height definitely enabled him to capture some great dance floor moments that could have otherwise gone unnoticed). The full suite of over 3000 (three thousand, not a typo) were uploaded to a user-friendly gallery within 3 months of the wedding! I should also mention that he is now one of my husbands favorite people to follow on instagram and facebook

Best photog in the history of wedding photographers. I think his numerous 5 star reviews speak for itself but Dennis was the best person to work with. You really want to pick someone stellar like Dennis to capture moments that you will remember forever after the wedding is over. The engagement shoot turned out stunning and he made our awkwardness translate into gorgeous photos. Dennis has a real eye for finding amazing spots to photograph in. The day of the wedding, Dennis showed up early and spent all day making sure to capture all the moments and got some fantastic shots! Wow! He was really patient when a bunch of drunk people hounded him for photos at the end of the night! Dennis is also really funny, kind, and makes even a terrible photo taker feel comfortable in front of the camera. Thanks so much, highly recommend!
