    Excellent and Wonderful to work with

    Darla and her second photographer, Ashley, were amazing to work with. They were quick with taking outside photos due to how cold the outside was. The photos that we had seen on our wedding day were immaculate.

    Phenomenal

    Outstanding!!! The skill, professionalism, delivery time and quality of photos was over the top. I worked for an Emmy award winning director and I was suitably impressed!!!

    Darla Photography is top notch quality and a pleasure to work with!

    Darla Photography has been our family’s only photographer dating back to 2017, and I wouldn’t consider a move to another photographer! She has taken our family portraits, she has helped us stage special event photos, and she has photographed two Bat Mitzvahs. In short Darla has been there for us by capturing our most important life moments. We will soon be setting up another session for her to photograph out daughter’s senior portraits knowing that they will be outranking. Darla is the ultimate professional who plans well, she has an astounding creative and technical eye, and she works incredibly well with other event vendors to anticipate and time her editorial photographs. Darla is the best!

    Darla Photography's reply:

    Thank you, I always look forward to spending time with your family.
    I can't wait to see what we do this time!
    Love the images. See you soon.

    They are the Best!!

    I'd give them 10 stars if I could! Darla, Aaron, and Ashley are some of the most personable people I've ever worked with! Darla is fabulous with communication and I feel like I've known her and the staff longer than the few consultations. Aaron and Ashley did our wedding photography and we couldn't be more happy!! I recommend them to all my friends and family because her work is so professional and gorgeous. I have never received so many compliments on photos taken by professionals until we hired them. I like that Darla doesn't pressure you into buying photo albums up front or right after the wedding and can return at any time to get them made up.

    Darla Photography's reply:

    I knew from the beginning we were a match. Your wedding was so vibrate and beautiful friends and family! You are the BEST.
    Darla, Aaron, and Ashley

    Darla Photography - Simply The Best!

    Darla was amazing, not just with the photographs but also with so many other challenges. The wedding was three hours away and during the Covid pandemic. Darla was so helpful with so many of the details not related to just photography. Darla found the videographer, and us find many other wonderful vendors for the wedding. Darla has a gift for seeing the photographic opportunity and capturing it perfectly. I'm am grateful to have found such a gifted photographer and would recommend her to anyone looking for the best for that once in a lifetime day.

    Darla Photography's reply:

    Oh, it was so wonderful hearing from you! I know you are so busy, and I hope everything is going well for everyone and all your work and studies. You are so kind, and the entire team had a great time with you, your families, and friends. Please say hello to everyone and kiss your husband and dog!

    Delfine/Mechler Wedding- 10/10/20 Review

    I absolutely ADORE Darla and could not have asked for a better photographer! She worked to be flexible with all of our COVID-19 changes and was so much fun to hang out with. Leading up to the wedding, I genuinely enjoyed our conversations. She made sure that we got the photos we wanted for the day. We ended up with hundreds of beautifully edited pictures. I went to the Pittsburgh Bridal Convention in 2018 and the BEST thing to come out of it was our contract with Darla.

    All Around Terrific

    I met Darla this past year through my mom, who recommended her for my blog photos and boy am I glad I met her! She is wonderful to work with an and all around beautiful person inside and out. You get quality photos, for a great price, and the opportunity to work with such an experienced/talented photographer. If you haven't booked her what are you waiting for?! Book now and I promise you won't be disappointed!

    Darla Photography's reply:

    Good Morning Beautiful,
    Thank you for the great review! Hope all is well at home!
    Looking forward to shooting again soon

    Wedding 2019

    Darla was an excellent photographer for our wedding. Very detail oriented, she captured pictures of things I would not have thought about. Very professional and in command of the shots she wants to take. I would highly recommend her.

    Darla was spectacular! She called several times to make sure she knew what shots we wanted. She was on time and extremely professional. She was also warm and comforting. Very approachable! Her pictures are so beautiful! I would use her services again in a heartbeat!

    Darla is absolutely wonderful! We were looking for a photographer for our daughter's bat mitzvah, and to our good fortune were referred to Darla by another photographer who was booked for our date. Right from the beginning, Darla was quick to communicate with any details we requested and to respond to any questions we had. When plans for the timing of our event changed mid-stream a month or so back, Darla put our minds at rest and let us know that she would make everything work. Then a couple of weeks ago, I called Darla about an idea for a project we were thinking of for the bat mitzvah that--if it was even feasible--would have to be done ahead of time. I think she was as excited about it as we were! She found time in her busy schedule for a photo shoot the following weekend and, from her years in the industry, promptly connected with artists in the area who (together with Darla) could convert our vision into a reality. Darla spent a couple of hours with us, discussing and helping us develop the idea and making-up our daughter (another of her specialties), and then took a series of photos of our daughter (and her younger sister) in different get-ups, poses and arrangements. They had so much fun together--Darla coaching our daughter to achieve the pictures we were hoping for, and then taking a bunch more just because! A quick two days later, Darla deposited the set into our Dropbox. They were stunning--beautiful, spontaneous, fun, natural. Even though the shots were taken in our home, not in a studio or outdoors, the lighting, crispness and evenness of the images somehow are outstanding. As my wife and I scanned through the collection, each image seemed to be outdone by the next. We feel very fortunate to have lucked our way into finding Darla. She is an excellent and experienced photographer (and charges reasonable rates), but more than that, she is a lovely and friendly person and a natural with adults and children alike. We highly recommend her.

    Darla is top notch! She took the most amazing pictures of our family and knew exactly how to capture everyone's personality. She was super flexible, going to 2 different locations, and has the patience of a saint! These family pictures taken right before my daughters Bat Mitzvah and the memories we made during the photo shoot are such a treasure. She made my daughter feel like a super model and took all the stress out of having family pictures taken. I am so glad we had the chance to work with Darla during this special time for our family!

    Darla was great! Spent some time with her beforehand getting acquainted. We did an engagement shot where she helped us get comfortable with the camera and find angles we liked. Also had a few phone calls beforehand to iron out details for photos and go through the day's timeline to ensure all the photos were taken. She is great at making sure everyone in the wedding party followed directions and moved all the formal shots so we did not miss any of the action at the reception.

    Darla was great to work with! She was prompt and worked well with the entire group. She was very direct which was very helpful for gathering my large family and friends for pictures. She also had awesome ideas for photos at our outside location. Everything turned out great, people are still raving about the pictures we received from Darla!

    WONDERFUL PICTURES AND GREAT EXPERIENCE!
    She is an experienced photograph that works in Pittsburgh. She has a lot of great ideas for locations which helped a lot. She is so friendly and helpful with a lot of good ideas and tips! I've never had photos done. She made me and my fiance feel very relaxed. The pictures turned out wonderful! I couldn't be happier.

    We absolutely loved our wedding pictures!! We live out of state so we never met Darla before working with her. There were no issues through the entire process. Darla is very easy to work with and can command a crowd of talkative guests which helped us stay on our schedule. Our reception was at a hotel with not a lot of scenic areas but somehow she was able to make the colors pop! We just kept smiling and awing at each photo... They all are fantastic. And the detail shots were unexpected but so glamorous I couldn't stop looking at the flowers and cool decor pics. She really captured the fun we had and we'd recommend her to anyone!

    Darla was excellent. She was able to capture everything we needed and a whole lot more. She gave us an excellent deal and would refer her to all of my friends and family. She even was the photographer for my Father's wedding and her pictures and photo albums were so unique and modern. She went through everything and was able to get us back the prints quickly and without issue. She had a lot of great ideas and made sure we were happy and got in all the shots we personally wanted to have. I will use her for future parties and events as well!

    I loved working with this lady. My wedding was 12-29-12 and she was my photographer. She is a joy to be around and such fun. She added a special touch to my wedding day that had myself and the guest laughing. She has a wonderful personality. I would highly recommend her as a photographer for your wedding and any other special event. My wedding planner said she was fun and that was no lie. If you looking for some excitement with professionalism than look no further. She is the one. Thanks Darla for everything and I will continue to bring you business. You were part of the reason my day was perfect.

    Darla photographed our son's Bar Mitzvah and we absolutely loved her! Not only did she capture so much of what happened that night, but we had so much fun with her. The pictures were beautiful and we would use her again!!!
    She was like part of our family for the weekend:)
