    Darko is a wonderful individual and a true professional. His ability to capture each moment and facial expression is truly phenomenal. We were very pleased with Darko's work and were excited to receive all of our photos shortly after the wedding (about two weeks after). We would highly recommend his services!

    Darko shot our engagement photos and our wedding photos and did an absolutely amazing job. From our first meeting through to receiving our pictures (less than 3 weeks after our wedding!), we were thoroughly impressed with his professionalism and enjoyed working with him immensely.

    Price, quality, communication and fun working with Darko were all top notch. If you are looking for a photographer for anything, we would definitely recommend him.

    Darko takes amazing photos and is very easy going and pleasant to work with. We liked his taste and style in photos. He takes great casual, modern looking shots and was very accommodating to the types of photos we were looking for. We would highly recommend Darko and his team!

    Darko is amazing! Not only is he an incredible photographer with such a creative eye, he is fun and a great guy to work with. He is so efficient, speedy to answer your questions throughout the whole wedding process, and super pleasant to be around. He helped make our day so memorable and we are so grateful we found him! We would recommend Darko to everyone and anyone!
    Thank you Darko for being so wonderful!

    Booking a photographer was the second thing we did, after booking the venue. It was very important to us to get a professional photographer who can capture our once in a lifetime moment. We browsed through the work of a lot of different photographers, before choosing Darko. He did not disappoint!

    On top of being a great photographer, Darko is also extremely punctual and very professional. This is exactly what you want from any of your vendors on your wedding day. When he was taking pictures, we felt very comfortable showing our true emotions, which really showed in our photos. What also stood out is how quickly Darko was able to recognize and capture perfect moments throughout the day. He has great vision and is very efficient with his shots.

    We received our photos in two weeks, which is very fast comparing to other photographers who take months. All the photos look very bright and full of rich colours. We got compliments from all of our friends and family as well as the people that were unable to attend. They truly felt that they were able to share this experience with us by looking at our photos.

    I would definitely recommend Darko to anyone who is looking for a professional wedding photographer. Just look at his work, you will not be disappointed!

    Darko is nothing short of a magician with the camera. Knowing he (and his second shooter/wife Carrie) were on top of the photo-documentation of our day not only reassured me but filled me with excitement and pride.

    His portfolio and online gallery would've been enough to sell me on his services but meeting him in person and discussing our plans cemented the deal. His enthusiasm for our event and the innovative ideas he suggested turned what could've been a stressful experience into a fun and enjoyable one. I could think of no one else to shoot our wedding day.

    We knew exactly where we wanted to shoot our engagement and wedding photos. Future brides might also want to have a few locations in mind but Darko knows that Vancouver area extremely well and would be helpful in suggesting beautiful and unique locations.

    We can't say enough about Darko and Carrie - they are Awesome! We would recommend them without any reservation to anyone having a special occasion - but in particular, a wedding. Our engagement shoot was a lot of fun (and wasn't something we were looking forward to…both being a bit camera shy); Darko made it feel so relaxed and comfortable - and so this also meant that on our big day, we had no stress whatsoever! Our wedding photos are just simply beautiful - we love them as we feel they really capture the emotions of the day and such memories! All of our friends and family have raved about them as well! Do yourself a favour and book Darko and Carrie for your next event - you will be so happy you did!!

    If you need a photographer, Darko is your man. He is AMAZING. My fiance and I had an engagement shoot with him after a long day - and the shoot was so much fun, totally relaxed and turned our day around completely! The resulting photos were spectacular!! Our wedding day was completely low stress and fun because of Darko and Carrie's energy and all their help (which was above and beyond photography!). We don't regard ourselves as photogenic or even very comfortable in front of the camera, but our photos from Darko and Carrie say otherwise! The photos capture so much feeling and the use of light is amazing! Book Darko Now. You will be so happy you did!

    My wife and I hired Darko as our wedding photographer and for an engagement photo shoot. He is an amazing Vancouver wedding photographer who is incredibly talented at capturing the chemistry between couples and leveraging lighting and composition techniques to produce brilliant photographs. He has a great eye and was able to capture us in the best, most flattering light and angles. Within minutes of viewing my wedding photos, I got the same butterflies I had on my wedding day; he captured our energy and emotions so vividly that I experienced my excitement all over again. He is honestly such a talented photographer that I cannot even begin to decide on a favourite photo, let alone top 10 - there are numerous photos I absolutely adore. Darko also has a wonderful personality with such professionalism that it was easy for us to relax and just be ourselves. His wife Carrie took photos as well during our engagement and wedding sessions and they worked seamlessly together - she was a pleasure to work with as well. If you're looking for a Vancouver wedding photographer, I would highly recommend Darko Sikman Photography. Amazing value.

    Darko is such a wonderful photographer. We had a very low-key, small wedding, but our photos are so dramatic. Darko was an exceptional value and so easy to work with on the day. During the reception he was practically invisible, yet he managed to get some great shots of our friends and family. Hiring Darko was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

    Searching for our photographer online, what drew me most to Darko and set him apart from the hundreds of other photographers in the Vancouver area was that in his photos, I could truly visually see the love between the couple. He has a rare gift for really capturing the emotions of moments. I knew I wanted to see "us", being us, and that's what he gave us. Beyond how beautiful and honest his pictures are, he's also fantastic to work with. Always quick with an email reply, he's very funny and easy to get along with, and when we first met with him he gave us some brilliant advice: "It's most important that the bride gets along with the photographer. After all, that's the person she's going to spend the most time with that day." So I'm glad we picked Darko! As well, he had very quick turnaround time with the photos, his price was incredibly reasonable considering the quality of his work, and he and his wife Carrie are such an amazing and professional team, working together seamlessly. I can't recommend Darko highly enough, both on a personal basis (as someone you will love to work with) and as a professional.

    Darko and his wife were wonderful! They provided great service, from the moment we started getting ready util the DJ kicked in at night, they were there capturing every moment. The photos we got are amazing! The quality and variety of photos we received was much more then what we hoped for. Great value. We're very glad we chose Darko Sikman Photography for our wedding day.

    Incredible shots, wonderful lighting, captured both natural and more structured scenes, organised, creative, innovative, very easy to work with.

    I work in the creative ad industry with a lot of photographers and wouldn't have chosen anyone other than Darko to capture our special day.

    Darko is an amazing photographer. He is very professional and creative. All of our pictures turned out beautiful. Darko and his wife Carrie photographed our wedding from early morning to late evening and did it with a smile on their face. Their passion for photography is evident. We would definately recomend him to couples looking for a talented photographer at a reasonable price.

    We were fortunate enough to find Darko through Weddingful (Groupon for weddings). He took our engagement photos which were super fun and he and his lovely wife Carrie did an amazing job capturing our wedding day. Darko is very professional, flexible, super friendly and very talented. The collection of photos we received are incredible and they were ready in record time! They captured the best of moments big and small featuring amazing composition, great use of light and that 'wow' factor! It's going to be very difficult to choose which ones go on the wall and in the mail to our friends and family. Thanks Darko and Carrie! :)

    Darko and his wife Carrie shot our wedding a few weeks ago. What can I tell you? He was superb, and went so far beyond our expectations. We wanted a very candid, photojournalist approach and he captured that perfectly. We now have hundreds (!) of amazing photos of our friends and family and ourselves in really compelling images that perfectly describe how the whole event unfolded. Besides that, the standard family and groups shots look awesome, and the portraiture he did of the two of us is stunning. He posted all the shots online and gave us discs of every single image (lightly retouched and adjusted) within two weeks!!! I'm sure that's not always possible, but it tells you how professional he is and conscientious of seeing the job to completion. We couldn't be more impressed with Darko (and Carrie!) and we know we made the best possible choice hiring him as our wedding photographer! Plus he's super cool and terribly good looking. :-)

    Darko and Carrie were perfect photographers on our wedding day. Not only were they professional and their photos fantastic, but they were also incredibly warm people that were a joy to work alongside. I give the highest recommendation for Darko Sikman Photography, and can guarantee you won't be disappointed!

    When I first started planning my wedding, finding a perfect wedding photographer was one of my top priorities (after my dress and the venue, of course). It took me quite a while to find that perfect one! All other photographers that I came across offered very limited packages and were way more expensive than I expected. If you have high expectations of your wedding photographer and are looking for a great value - Darko is the one for you! :))

    Darko and Carrie added to wedding's energy! They coordinated family photos and keep things moving.

    They both have a keen artistic eye, captured all the right moments, expressions as well as the excitment that was in the air!

    Prior to the wedding, Darko communicated well, listened to our interests and afterwards, was quick to turnaround the many photos we were all eager to see!

    From the first consultation with Darko, to the day of our daughter's wedding, he was professional, personable, and thoughtful . Darko listened to the vision of Elizabeth and Marlon's wedding, and asked lots of questions to find the perfect shots. Elizabeth and Marlon wanted their wedding to be all about family, friends and fun. Darko captured their vision. He was spontaneous, as well as very flexible to their needs.
    I am so pleased he understood their vision and executed it perfectly.
    Thank you Darko
