Looking back on our day, we are so happy we were able to work with Daniel and his assistant, Emily. He was easy to communicate with, and straight forward with his expectations for us... which was to have a blast at our wedding and let him take care of capturing the moments! We were already excited after seeing Daniel's work on our engagement photos, and had so much fun working with him and Emily on our wedding day. It was also a bonus that he worked quite in sync with our videographer, which he recommended, and made things run so smoothly. We are so happy with all of our pictures. He is definitely your guy for your big day!

About two years ago, I helped my sister hunt for and find a wedding photographer, and we decided on Daniel. The pictures he took for her were flawless, and she’s been back to him for subsequent maternity photos. So it made sense that when the time came for my wedding, I would use Daniel too. He was very responsive and accommodating. With the four hours of coverage, Daniel and his assistant were able to capture the most beautiful moments of our wedding. Our winter wedding was indoors, but we managed to sneak outside briefly for some scenic shots, and I’m so glad we did… those turned out to be my favorites! We got plenty of family shots, plus photos of all of our guests. He took some amazing detail shots as well, including the room setup, a lightless shot of our cake, and our rings on rose petals. It took about two weeks to get digital proofs of our photos, then another week to get the full-resolution photos on disc. Looking through them again, I must say that he truly has a gifted eye... I recommend him 100%!

We hired Daniel for my bridal portraits, our rehearsal dinner, and wedding. Daniel always responded in a timely manner which made planning a breeze. He was flexible with my dates and times and was willing to work around my schedule. He was also extremely helpful! I mentioned at the rehearsal dinner wanting to have a note requesting no photography during the ceremony but that I ran out of time. He told me to email him what I wanted to it say and he'd take care of it for me. That night, he printed 180 notes for me! Every time I look at my bridal portraits or wedding pictures, I relive every moment of that amazing time in my life. We will definitely be using his services for our future photography needs.

Daniel was great! We wanted some traditional wedding shots but also wanted more "artistic" ones, too, and Daniel delivered. My husband and I had photo ideas of our own and Daniel worked with us to make them a reality. The wedding album he made for us turned out better than I expected, he was very accommodating with the changes I wanted. Daniel and his assistant were great from start to finish. The problem now is which ones to frame!

I have worked with Daniel on a professional level in the wedding business for over 10 years. Now, I was able to use him on a personal level, the most personal event ever - my own wedding. Daniel has an eye for detail. He's very talented in an artistic way. He was patient with my family and guests. His photos are a piece of art - I can't wait to share them with everyone! I would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Third Eye Studios is a fantastic studio to work with. Their photos really bring out the emotions of the day. As a cinematographer, it's really great when the photographers see a wedding as a team effort, and do so without compromising the shot. They are creative throughout the day and continue to push the craft forward.
