The BEST part of our wedding day

I wish I could give this review more than 5 stars. Eric truly made our day. He had amazing photo ideas and made sure everything throughout the day ran smoothly. He personally made sure there were no hiccups and worked so well with the rest of our vendors. Eric made every single moment feel completely personal like they were part of the family. Out of all the wedding vendors we picked Daniel Micheal was definitely our favorite. From start to finish they made us feel like we were the most important in the world. I cannot recommend them enough. Our day was so special due to Eric and his team!

Could Not Have Framed It Better Ourselves

We hired Eric Nally from Daniel Michael Photography as our photographer for our big day and could not be happier with how things went! From the moment we met, Eric brought a sense of calm, confidence, and genuine excitement that instantly put us at ease. Beyond the talent, Eric and his team are wonderful assets to have by your side on your big day. Warm, patient, and SO fun! They kept us on schedule, made us look natural even when we felt awkward, and blended in well with our family and friends. If you are looking for a photographer who elevates your entire wedding day, look no further! Choosing Daniel Michael Photography was one of the best wedding decisions we made!

Hire Them. Seriously, Just Do It.

There truly aren’t enough words to express how overjoyed I am with Daniel Michael and his entire team. They were absolutely incredible, not just on our wedding day, but every single day throughout the two years of planning leading up to it.
No matter what challenges came up, Daniel and his team were never once a source of stress. He listened to every request and idea, took the time to understand my insecurities, and guided me through every pose so I could feel like the most beautiful version of myself. He gave pep talks when I didn’t even know I needed them, offered priceless advice about wedding planning, and made us feel so supported and prepared for the big day.
Daniel made us feel like family

My photographer was fantastic!

I just had my big day and everything was great. It took me a long time to pick a photographer, but I ended up choosing Daniel Michael. My first visit with them was great. I stress over planning anything and they talked me through a lot of wedding things in general and it made me feel more at ease. I also found out my cousin's friend used this same place, I saw their photos on the wall and in a book. I texted my cousin immediately to ask her what her friend thought about her photographer and she said she loved them. I ended up having the exact same photographer! Lauren was so great to talk to, she gave us great directions (even though my now husband went the wrong way for our first look, I heard her say the right thing! Lol). I was very open to all her suggestions and relied on them a lot but also if I wanted a specific photo she took it. When I arrived i immediately saw my now husband standing with his back to me by the water and I told her he looks so cute can you take a photo when you go back over? She did, and also informed my husband what I said which I loved as he was extremely nervous before the first look. I thought I would be more nervous for the photos, so many and being the center of attention but Lauren made the experience so fun and lovely. My grandma was crying when we were taking photos and had to run her eyes several times, Lauren was so patient, told her she would wait for her as long as she needed. We haven't gotten our photos back yet but I'm so excited to see them.

The Dream Team Who Captured our Day Perfectly!

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding photography team — Cory, Tyler, and Jenna were absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable and capture every special moment perfectly.

Cory, our lead photographer, was an absolute pro — calm, organized, and creative all at once. He gave such great direction while still letting us feel completely ourselves. He somehow managed to capture every little detail and emotion without ever feeling intrusive!

Tyler, our photojournalist, had this incredible ability to blend into the background and catch all the candid, genuine moments — the laughter, happy tears, and spontaneous joy that made our day so special.

And Jenna, our bridal bestie, was truly that — a best friend behind the cameras. She kept me calm, helped with my dress, fixed my hair when it was windy, and made me laugh all day long. She was such a positive, grounding presence and made me feel like the most beautiful, confident bride.

Together, they made us feel so comfortable, celebrated, and seen. Their energy and teamwork were unmatched, and they fit right in with our guests like part of the family. We could not have asked for a better photography team to capture our wedding day.

If you’re considering them for your wedding — do it. They made an amazing team who genuinely cares about making your day magical. We recommend them a thousand times over and can’t wait to see the final results! 💕

Worth Every Day

I got married this past Friday and had the absolute pleasure of working with Images by Daniel Michael Photography. My master photographer was Don, our journalist photographer was Rick, and our bridal assistant (aka bridal bestie!) was Jenna.

From start to finish, their team was phenomenal—kind, punctual, funny, and amazing at keeping us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. Don’s experience really shined, guiding us seamlessly and making sure every moment was captured perfectly.

When I wasn’t feeling well at one point, Jenna immediately noticed and went above and beyond to take care of me. She also handled my flowers and dress throughout the night, giving my bridesmaids the chance to relax and enjoy themselves instead of worrying about the details.

Don and Rick captured everything so naturally and beautifully, making the entire day feel effortless and stress-free.

If you’re considering booking them, definitely go for both photographers and the bridal bestie package—it was 100% worth it and made our wedding even more perfect and memorable. I couldn’t be more grateful and would book them again in a heartbeat!

Ceremony photographer

Dan was extremely patient with me and my busy schedule. He took time out of his busy day to accommodate mine. He was kind enough to do a late night call and gave me suggestions, speak about services, and attentively listened to EXACTLY what I wanted.

Lauren was my photographer and she KILLED it. She knew exactly who was who, had the patience to deal with all the military men in the party, and was extremely attentive to our weird family dynamic. She was absolutely fantastic and I cannot recommend her enough!

Amazing service, incredible photos, lifelong friends

Hired Daniel and his team to do photography for our wedding at the Heritage Village Museum in Sharonville. Don and Daniel were absolutely incredible both just in terms of the images we have seen as well as being helpful with the wedding, reception, having a Bridal Assistant available (Thank you Jenna!). I could *not* be happier with the service, skill and professionalism. The engagement photoshoot was incredibly fun and gorgeous and the wedding photos themselves are stunning. I am going back for pretty much anything I need photography for.

MOST FUN Experience!

I remember my first bridal show I attended last April, 2024 called a Bridal Affair. Not only did I meet incredible vendors there, but I met Daniel Michael and I knew he was going to be my photographer. His work was beautiful, but his personality was even BETTER! :) Having a great photographer is important to document such an important day, but to have a photographer who's fun, hilarious, and fits in with your vibe is A++!! Daniel was all of that and he made our wedding FUN!

Besides, you gotta think... your photographer is going to be with you from start to finish on your big day. Who wouldn't want someone who is going to have as much fun as you are and make you feel like a million bucks!

If you have gotten this far and haven't been sold on Images by Daniel Michael, then you're just not fun! LOL! But really, look into this company because even if you don't hire Daniel Michael himself, he has a team of great and talented people that will make your day just as spectacular! Plus, he will work with you for a price that fits you right!

Thank you, Daniel for a truly memorable day! My husband and I cannot wait to see the masterpieces you captured! XOXO
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
