Images by Daniel Michael Photography

Our experience with Images by Daniel Michael has been wonderful. We live out of state so had to do most of the wedding planning by phone and video call, but it was all very well communicated and easy. Our main photographer was Jenna and she was great. Communicated poses well and the photos we have seen (engagement) have looked so beautiful. I needed breaks and to sit more and she was really accommodating and helped me plan around that need. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone wanting professional photos. Thank you for helping make my wedding so memorable!

Daniel Michael hands down best photographer I’ve ever worked with. I’m an older bride and have done this before 😊. Daniel honored every request, calmed the bride, and emphasized the inclusion of all family members. I will treasure the experience and enjoy this day every time we see our pictures. Thank you Images by Daniel Michael. Will share our pictures when they are finished.
Thank you!

From the very beginning, Don was absolutely incredible. As someone who *loves* having beautiful photos but genuinely hates the process of taking them, I was nervous about how the day would feel. Don completely changed that for me. He has this amazing ability to gently guide you — adjusting posture, fixing those sneaky double chins (bless him!), and offering subtle tips — all with so much grace and kindness that you never feel self-conscious. Instead, you feel confident, cared for, and honestly… kind of like a model.

My fiancé was *dreading* the endless photos he knew I wanted (and that were very important to me). He’s camera shy and not one for over-the-top praise. But after the wedding, he turned to me and said, **“That guy was pretty great.”** And let me tell you — that is a *1000-star review* coming from the man of far and few between compliments for anyone😂. If Don can win him over, that says everything.

The additional photographers (I am so sorry I blacked out and don’t even remember names!) were also phenomenal. They were everywhere in the best way — quietly snapping candid, behind-the-scenes moments that I already know will become some of my most treasured memories in the years to come. Those in-between laughs and little glances? They caught them all.

And I have to give a special thank you to Don for one moment that meant so much to me. When I arrived and realized no one had given him my fancy custom hangers (that my bridesmaid and I had made ourselves), I felt a little panicked. To anyone else, it might have seemed like a small, even silly detail. But Don immediately understood it mattered to me. He was so gracious about redoing the detail shots and took the time to capture them exactly how I had envisioned. That level of care and attention speaks volumes.

Don doesn’t just take pictures — he sees what matters to you and makes sure it’s honored. He made us feel comfortable, confident, and completely taken care of. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would recommend him a thousand times over.

Truly the best, and *thank you so much* again,
The Newest Mr. & Mrs. Belongia❤️🤍

P.S. I have included some of my favorite shots from our engagement shoot to show Don's amazing work!

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!

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!

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

Don was absolutely amazing! He will make you feel so special! He will help you get the Perfect pose and go the extra mile to capture the beauty of your love enhanced by the uniqueness of your venue set by idyllic backdrops! He will work to accommodate your timeline! He is extremely professional! He is an excellent hype man! He even went the extra mile and ran with us to take advantage of a beautiful sunset after we had finished shooting for our engagement photoshoot! He truly goes the extra mile for his couples in every way! We cannot recommend Images by Daniel Michael Photogragphy enough if you want a worry free excellent experience!

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.

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! 💕

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!
