Christina C. Sent on 12/13/2023Katelyn Tucker is an absolute Gem
We booked Daniel Neal Photography and booked his associate, Katelyn Tucker. The platform and editing style that Daniel Neal uses is very easy to understand, seamless, and displays your photos well. Daniel is very responsive and overall logistics were perfect. Katelyn, the photographer, was the best vendor at our wedding. Photos aside, which were amazing, Katelyn provided the most calming presence at the wedding. She was with me (the bride) every part of the day and went above and beyond to ensure that I got the shots that I needed but didn't spend too long taking photos because I wanted to enjoy my day. She also worked with other vendors to handle minor crises as they popped up without me even knowing. I can't say enough about how kind, caring, and thoughtful she was throughout the whole process. We did our engagement shoots with her as well, and included our high energy cattle dog. She was able to get the best shots of him looking directly at the camera, which was amazing. I love that the editing style isn't over-stylized and that the photos came out looking more natural. We had a great combination of candids and posed photos. If that's your style, then I would recommend Katelyn to anyone.Daniel Neal Photography's reply:
So sweet of you to take the time to leave this review for Katelyn!! She's the best. I am so lucky to work with her. Enjoy the photos and happy holidays! -

We Love Every Photo!
Daniel photographed my engagement photos and wedding day. We met Daniel at a wedding he was photographing a long time ago and wanted to book with him since he was so professional and friendly. For our engagement shoot, he offered several great locations and provided prior photo examples of those. Our engagement shoot was our first time getting professional photos and he made everything feel natural and comfortable. We loved how he kept “finding the light” and getting so excited to shoot us in it. His energy was infectious. On our wedding day, he captured the beauty of it through various shots. Not only do we seriously love every single photo, but Daniel was so positive, fun to work with, and to hang out with. He had great communication, photos arrived within the timeline he said, and he provided suggestions on the timeline and what type of photos to take. I cannot recommend him enough!Daniel Neal Photography's reply:
Thank you so much Kelsey!! It was my pleasure getting to hang out with you and Idin on your wedding day. And to call you two friends now! Thank you for making me feel so included. It was such a wonderful day! -

Daniel did our engagement photo shoot (included in package) as well as our wedding photography and did an outstanding job. The photos turned out wonderful and he got them back to us so quickly (sneak peak in less than 24hrs and all photos in less than 1 month). He also offered to make and edit a photo album for us (at additional cost). He's a very sweet guy and easy to hang out with all day. He actually got married at our venue once upon a time! -

Kimberly K. Sent on 09/19/2021My photos are amazing, would recommend to any bride
Daniel not only takes incredible photos but you never feel like you’re standing around posing with him. He makes it enjoyable and gives great direction. We also told him we wanted to enjoy the dinner service so he coordinated us taking sunset photos during a break in dinner so we didn’t miss any of the food! He’s super easy to work with and my sneak peak photos are so beautiful (he made me look so thin and beautiful!) highly recommend.Daniel Neal Photography's reply:
Thank you Kimberly! I had so much fun with you and Alejandro. You made my job not feel like a job! -

Daniel was responded promptly to my inquiry. After speaking with him on the phone, my mind was put as ease concerning all of our photography needs for our wedding day. I am unsure whether we will make it out to California for our engagement photos since we live on the East Coast, and he was very flexible about providing store credit if that was the case. I look forward to working with him and can't wait to see the photos he will take of our big day!Daniel Neal Photography's reply:
Thanks for booking with me Shiloh! I look forward to meeting you and your fiancé and your wedding at the beautiful St. Francis Winery! -

Daniel is absolutely amazing to work with!!! From the beginning he was professional and attentive to detail. We decided to meet up in person for the initial meeting, which I appreciated being able to meet face-to-face before we booked him. Not only does he do incredible work, but he is also so nice and personable! For our engagement shoot, both my husband and I did not know what to expect as we had never been photographed kissing together, but Daniel made us feel natural and comfortable right off the bat. We were able to include our pup into our shoot as well, which is a plus for us animal lovers!
Communication throughout the months of planning was great as well, he would always respond in a timely fashion. Everything went so smoothly the day of and that was a huge part due to his timeline and schedule. Since this was my first rodeo, I appreciated all the guidance he gave us for the day of. The pictures are just absolutely incredible, and we have had SO many guests/ family members say how beautiful the images are. Even a family member who is a photographer! Daniel gave us a handful of "sneak peak" images the next morning which was pretty amazing to be able to have those so quickly! The turn around for all of the images felt like an eternity (obviously because we couldn't wait to see them) but in actuality, he sent us the link for us to view and download the images within a month. You seriously will not be disappointed booking Daniel for your special day! He is worth every dollar! -

Easy to work with, amazing photos!
Daniel is amazing! We spoke with him for about an hour on the phone when we were searching for photographers early in our planning process. Daniel was very personable over the phone and seemed like it would be a good fit. He takes the time to speak with his clients to get a sense of their interests and style prior to scheduling engagement shoot. His packages include an engagement shoot, which is great. Daniel made us feel comfortable and relaxed during the two hours despite the insane winds and cold temperatures. Prior to the wedding, he helped us draft a timeline for events since we had separate coordinators at our church and reception. Daniel corresponded frequently with us and in a timely manner as the time got closer to a big day. Our family, bridal party, and guests really liked him. He made everything so easy for us - before, during and after the wedding. He brings a very special touch to every picture he takes and it was so much fun working with him. He has many creative ideas and we are simply amazed by the outcome. Best part is he delivers his galleries very quick--we only had to wait 3 weeks to get over 1,100 photos! Thank you so much for being part of our wedding and capturing these precious moments that we will never forget! -

Best Wedding Photographer!
Daniel is a great photographer who takes his work seriously and is extremely organized. He got our pictures back to us (engagement, sneak peaks, and final photos) so quickly - we were shocked at how fast it was! The best thing about working with Daniel is that we didn't have to worry about anything - we knew he would show up on time, have a positive attitude, and take great pictures. Weddings can be stressful and it was nice to have a vendor that was so reliable and that helped ease the stress. He is also such a kind and easy-going person; it was great to spend time with him. The engagement shoot was definitely worth it to help us feel comfortable in front of the camera and Daniel took his time to make sure we got some great photos as well. Daniel has done a lot of weddings and knows what he is doing. We would highly recommend him. -

5 Stars all around for Daniel Neal Photography!
Daniel was one of the first photographers that we met and right away we had a great feeling about him. He was so attentive, easy going and super professional. He shot our wedding venue a few times and was very familiar with the venue but he made sure to find new spots for us. He was a true professional throughout the entire process from our engagement photos to our wedding day. We got great candid shots and we just couldn't have been happier how they all turned out. We also got our wedding photos super quick and our photo book was just so beautiful. We feel pretty lucky that we got to work with Daniel and we highly recommend him if you are looking for a photographer! -

Kylie Sent on 06/15/2019Amazing Photographer
Daniel photographed our August 2016 wedding and was absolutely amazing. He is extremely organized and easy to work with, and he made our day run so much smoother.
On our wedding day he arrived early to check out our wedding site, then came over to our hotel for group shots. He was to on time, was super fun to work with (my bridesmaids and I were laughing the entire photo shoot), and he is a pro at working with large groups (I have an extended family of 30+ people and we were able to get them all together in one shot).
Several of my family members and other venders mentioned what a pleasure he was to work with on the big day. And to top everything off, the photos we have received look amazing. -

Trisha Sent on 06/26/2019Favorite wedding vendor - and gave me the best memories
Daniel was our engagement and wedding photographer when we got married in 2017 and we had such an INCREDIBLE experience working with him. I can't stress that enough. Every anniversary my husband and I have (two down a lifetime to go) we look through the photos Daniel took and are immediately transported back to the best day of our lives.
For a more detailed account of how pleasant it was working with Daniel, I've copied my yelp review that I posted right after our wedding:
.......
So wedding planning is super stressful and can be extremely frustrating. I can honestly say that working with Daniel was neither of those things. In fact, it was the opposite. He was by far the most amazing vendor I worked with throughout the entire process. Here's what I appreciated about working with Daniel leading up to my big day:
1) He was always friendly and kind -- from the initial call, engagement photos, the big day and the timely follow up afterwards, Daniel always spoke to us like we were friends! He was respectful, a great listener and always strove to make sure we felt supported and heard.
2) He was transparent about pricing. In planning this wedding, I found that vendors can be cagey about how much it costs to get what you want. Not Daniel. His price list is detailed and he explains when and how any additional costs could come up (i.e. additional hours of coverage, or adding a second photographer). He showed us a gallery of photos for a wedding where he was the only photographer and another where he hired a second -- I could see the differences in coverage (i.e. multiple angles of key moments like the first look etc).
3) He was flexible with us -- we ended up doing our engagement shoot in Monterey, and he traveled down from the Bay Area to do it!
4) Timely & thorough communication -- I never had to chase him for answers, his communication was thorough and proactive. It's nice to not have to repeat yourself, and Daniel always makes you feel like you are his top priority. He tells you when you can expect to see your photos and BOOM there they are, on time or early!
5) Respectful of other vendors -- The hair and makeup team that helped me and my bridesmaids get ready asked Daniel for his cards so they could pass them out to other brides they work with -- that's how much they loved working with him. He captured the getting ready moments without getting in their way or interrupting their flow, and they loved him for that.
All of that amazing customer service is just the cherry on top of the BEAUTIFUL photos that Daniel takes, and how comfortable you are working with him on the day. It's weird being the center of that much attention, but somehow Daniel makes it totally comfortable. I have shared the photos he took of our wedding and people actually tear up just looking at the ceremony photos and first look photos. He does an outstanding job of capturing the emotion and love in the best day of your life so you can relive the memories later for years to come.
THANK YOU, Daniel for making our day so amazing and memorable, and for being a DREAM to work with.

User2362326 Sent on 10/12/2015Daniel was an awesome photographer for our engagement-style shoot. Not only did the pictures come out beautifully but he was fun to hang out with for a couple hours. His rates were reasonable, he gave good directions for poses the entire time and had good knowledge about awesome locations for shoots. Daniel was always open to ideas we had as well. Furthermore, he got our pictures done well in time for a deadline we had :) -
