The best !

DSQ Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Darnell and his team were professional, creative, and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. They captured every moment beautifully—both the big highlights and the small, meaningful details we’ll cherish forever.

Magical Photos and Fantastic Experience

Darnell was everywhere all at once at my wedding. He got so many moments that I, as the bride, missed and did so beautifully. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality wedding photographer who is friendly, creative, and an absolute joy to work with. 10/10 Experience.

DSQ Photography is exceptional.

Darnell took our wedding photos in April of 2023; he was simply amazing to work with. He was professional, amazing at his craft, and worked really hard to understand exactly what we wanted. Darnell captured the beauty of our wedding and gave us perfect suggestions for how to pose, and I am someone who is not great at posing.

Wedding Review

Darnell was amazing for our engagement and wedding photos. He was extremely personable, engaging and had a great way of making us feel comfortable. He was very knowledgeable about areas and venues for photos and was open to try anything creativity wise. The photos came out great and I would highly recommend and use again for any events in the future.

Beautifully In Love

I spoke with Darnell regarding wedding photos & at the time I hired another company and they didn't show up but I was blessed to get him to take these dope photos of Me & my Husband. He is cool, down to earth, very knowledgeable about what he does, & that is what I like about him. If you need a photographer for your big day you will not be disappointed.

Ecstatic 😁

We were looking everyday multiple times a day for a photographer with good quality and I must say that Darnell went above our expectations. Darnell had so much patience with us and our 3 year old . Darnell was reliable, resourceful and affordable. We had no idea where we wanted the pictures taken but he had all the hidden gems in Pennsylvania . Darnell turn around time on photos are amazing . The quality of his craft is absolutely worth every penny . We are gonna be forever customers thats how much we enjoyed Darnell and his hospitality. Thank you again for capturing so many great moments.

Exceeded expectations

Where can I begin. My fiancé and I could not have been happier with our choice. Our photographer was kind, patient, and helped push us out of our comfort zone to get the perfect shots on our big day. Our photographer Darnell and his assistant provided encouragement and support through out the night and exceeded our expectations. Darnell was very enthusiastic about our venue and getting the shots that were important to us. Our wedding photos turned out beautiful! I would hire DSQ again for future photo shoots.

Forever Grateful!

Darnell was extremely professional and captured the most beautiful moments from our special day. I was so shocked and overwhelmed by the proposal, however Darnell was so kind and patient with me. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We are so blessed to have such beautiful photos to share for many years to come!

We look forward to working with Darnell again!
