April Sent on 11/09/2026⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **5 Stars Simply Aren't Enough! An Absolutely Incredible Team!**
If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding or any other special occasion, **look no further than Daniel Michael and his incredible team!** I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience, and I truly believe hiring them was one of the absolute BEST decisions we made for my daughter's wedding!
We hired Daniel Michael for my daughter's big day, along with a second photographer and the additional Gal Pal service. Let me tell you, **this team was, without a doubt, one of the greatest investments we made in the entire wedding!** They weren't just there to provide a service. They became an essential part of making the day everything we dreamed it would be.
**Daniel is truly one of a kind!** His personality alone is enough to make you love him. He's funny, upbeat, a little quirky in the absolute best way, and genuinely one of the most wonderful people you could hope to work with. He has an incredible ability to bring people together, organize everyone for the perfect shots, and keep things moving without making anyone feel rushed or overwhelmed. He knows exactly who he needs, where he needs them, and when. He brings such positive energy to the entire experience that you can't help but smile and enjoy every moment. His passion and natural talent for what he does are undeniable!
The **second photographer was equally impressive**, but in a completely different way. He had an incredible eye for knowing exactly where to be and when to be there. He was quiet, professional, and almost unnoticeable as he moved throughout the day, capturing those beautiful, intimate, candid moments that could so easily have been missed. There is something truly special about someone who can capture the emotion of a moment without ever interrupting it.
And then there was the **Gal Pal service — OH MY GOODNESS! If you're considering adding this service, DO IT!** I cannot emphasize enough how absolutely AMAZING she was! She was so incredibly sweet, attentive, thoughtful, and willing to jump in wherever she was needed. She went so far beyond anything I could have expected.
She helped with jewelry, kept the children entertained and out of the way when needed, assisted with flowers, made sure the toss bouquet was ready for the bride, and even painted fingernails and toenails for anyone who needed a last-minute touch-up! And that is only a small portion of everything she did throughout the day. She constantly anticipated needs before anyone even had to ask. No task was too big or too small. She truly helped take the stress off our shoulders so we could focus on enjoying such an important day.
**She was worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY, and then some!**
What makes Daniel and his team so exceptional isn't just their talent behind the camera. It's their genuine dedication to the people they serve. They don't simply show up, take pictures, and leave. They become invested in your day, your vision, your family, and making sure those once-in-a-lifetime moments are everything you hoped they would be.
As the mother of the bride, I can tell you that having people you can trust on such an emotional, busy, and important day is absolutely priceless. Daniel and his team gave us that peace of mind and so much more.
**I honestly cannot imagine planning another important event without Daniel Michael and his team being part of it.** His talent is a gift, his personality is unforgettable, and the level of service his team provides is truly unmatched.
If you're comparing photographers, wondering whether the additional services are worth it, or trying to decide where to invest your wedding budget, **THIS is where you want to spend your money!**
You aren't just hiring photographers. You're hiring an extraordinary team of people who genuinely care about making your special day unforgettable.
**Would I hire them again? Without hesitation. Would I recommend them? A THOUSAND TIMES YES!**
Daniel Michael and his entire team, thank you for going above and beyond for my daughter and our family. You didn't just help capture her wedding day — you helped make it extraordinary.
**Trust me when I say, BOOK THEM! You will not regret it!** ❤️📸💍Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
Wow, thank you so much for this incredibly heartfelt review! It truly means the world to me that our team helped make your daughter’s wedding such a wonderful experience. Knowing that you could relax, enjoy the day, and trust us with all those important moments is exactly why we love what we do. I can’t wait to share your kind words with the entire team, especially our Gal Pal! ❤️ -

I honestly don't know anything else they could've done to go above and beyond. They helped us girls get ready, and took control when our officiant didn't show to distract people. They were there every step of the way and did EVERYTHING to get the photos. I felt like they were there specifically for me and felt at ease the whole time. The few photos we saw looked AMAZING and we can't wait to see the rest!!!Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled that Eric helped you feel cared for and at ease, even through the unexpected moments! It means so much to our team that we had the honor of photographing your mom and stepdad’s wedding and now yours. Eric will be thrilled to hear your kind words, and we can’t wait for you to see your photos! ❤️ -

Look no further, you have found your wedding photographer!
We first met with Dan about six months before our wedding. From that very first meeting, we were beyond confident in choosing him to capture our big day. He sat down with us at his studio, generously taking the time to get to know us, our interests, and our relationship. He never came across as someone just trying to make a sale, but rather, someone genuinely passionate about his craft and excited to share it. He explained various photography styles, discussed his experience, and shared his love for his work. His portfolio was impressive on its own, but we left that first meeting completely sold on the photographer behind it.
Our complimentary engagement session was wonderful. To start, Dan was extremely accommodating of our busy weekday schedules. He helped select the perfect location and immediately made us feel at ease. The session was highly enjoyable and resulted in beautifully natural photos that made us feel incredible. We incorporated them heavily into our invitations and decor, and they received plenty of praise from our family and friends.
The wedding day itself was, naturally, the peak of our Daniel Michael experience. Leading up to the event, Dan was communicative and incredibly helpful in creating a photography schedule that fit perfectly with a busy wedding timeline. Having already worked with him during our engagement shoot, we knew how easy he made it to smile, how creative he was at finding the best angles, and how personable and hilarious he could be in the process. We are delighted to report that our wedding party and families walked away echoing that exact sentiment. Daniel and his two wonderful assistants skillfully navigated multiple rotating casts of family members, changing weather conditions, and plenty of wedding party hijinks.
We can comfortably say that by the time the reception was underway, Dan was as much a guest as he was our photographer. He seamlessly blended into the crowd while capturing the evening, chatted and joked, and even sang a little karaoke with us. We hired a photographer and came away with a friend. We cannot recommend Images by Daniel Michael highly enough, you will not be disappointed.Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
If it wasn't so specific I would've thought you'd ChatGPT that! That was beautiful. It also means the world to me. You guys made me feel like part of your day from the very beginning. And that makes everything work! Thank you for taking the time to write such a genuine and thoughtful review. -

Lauren Sent on 10/07/2026100% recommend lauren from daniel michael photography!
Lauren was amazing! We also loved our 2nd shooter Tahje! Lauren went above and beyond to make sure I had the best day ever. She was more than a photographer- Lauren handled the family drama so professionally and seamlessly, which is a hard skill to come by! She helped calm me down and got me back into a good headspace after some family issues occurred. She advocated for me from the beginning to the very end. She truly made my day so much better. Lauren was extremely understanding and patient as well. We had very large families to photograph and she was somehow able to get everyone in position in an efficient manner. Lauren- I truly appreciate you so much! When things didn’t go as originally planned, you were so calm and came up with solutions quickly! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LAUREN to be your photographer!!!! Having someone who is caring and understanding (in addition to being an AMAZINGLY TALENTED photographer) makes a huge difference in the experience!!!!! Thank you again!!!! We will 100% use Daniel Michael Photography again, and definitely recommend Lauren!Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
OMG! I teared up a little bit reading that! That was so sweet and it's gonna make Lauren and Tahjeé so happy to see it.. Thank you for taking the time to share such a meaningful review. -

Daniel Sent on 09/14/2026The best in the wedding business!
Truthfully, I can't say enough good things about Daniel Michael and Casey, our photographers for our engagement photos and our special day. At every stage of the planning process and during the whirlwind of the actual day, he made things actively easier for us and demonstrated himself to be not only a true professional in the wedding arena, but a fantastic individual who effortlessly blended into the dynamics of our family and friends.
Already, from only what we've seen of the photos so far, I am awestruck at the way Daniel brought out a type of smile from me that I have no other photos of. I've been told I have a soft smile and can be somewhat self conscious when posing for photos, but Daniel erased every bit of that feeling. The entire day was magical, and I can't imagine anyone else being able to capture what he did.
My family and friends had a great time during photos, he made us laugh, he made us comfortable, and he captured it all.
Simply put, it was a blast, and he was a key part of it all. Beyond worthy of being integrated into our memories of the best day of our lives. Daniel, WE MISS YOU ALREADY!!!Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
You are too kind! But thank you. Please come back and visit at one of our socials, or anytime you're in the area! -

We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer! From the very beginning, he made us feel comfortable, cared for, and completely confident that every special moment would be captured. Our wedding day was busy and rushed, but somehow he managed to take an incredible number of photos, capture all of the important moments, pay attention to every little detail, and still keep us right on schedule. That is truly a talent! His attention to detail was phenomenal. He captured the little moments, the big moments, the emotions, the laughter, and all of the memories that we will treasure forever. Looking through our photos feels like reliving our wedding day all over again.
What makes it even more special is that he has become more than just our photographer—he has become a family friend, and we are so grateful that someone we genuinely care about was there to capture one of the most important days of our lives! If you are looking for someone who is talented, professional, incredibly attentive, calm under pressure, and truly cares about his couples, look no further! We would couples, look no him again him a heartbeat.
Thank you for helpingd make our wedding day so absolutely unforgettable! ❤️📸

Kaitlyn Sent on 08/31/2026Lives up to the Hype!
We have known Dan for a long time and anyone who has met Dan knows that he loves what he does. The pride and passion he has for his work is something so exciting to see in any setting, but it wasn’t until I was one of his brides that I really got to see Dan in his element and that I was able to really understand how much he is committed to his couples. From the beginning of the process with our engagement session, Dan was excited to be there and excited to capture beautiful shots to celebrate us. As we got closer to the day, he never added stress or anxiety to us and actively removed so much. His professionalism, planning, and expertise showed through even more as we had our planning meeting 2 weeks out from the wedding. He has everything mapped and planned, didn’t need us to come up with a shot list, only asked if there were any specific ones we wanted. Everything was based around us.
On the wedding day, he and his team were on time, wide awake and ready to roll. Tyler was our candid photographer and he somehow managed to be so fun and happy, while also slipping into the background to capture hidden little moments. Jenna, my bridal bestie, was the rock for the day for them. She was calm, cool, collected and was able to provide me with some peace in the chaos. The whole team was prepared and operated like a well-oiled machine, and I never had to make any decisions or think at all with them, because they knew what to do. Jenna anticipated my needs, sometimes even before I needed them, and Tyler was smiling and snapping photos as we went. Dan, however, was the star, which is surprising to no one who has met him. He kept it fun, made sure everyone was laughing, and everyone was comfortable. You could tell his experience through the way he directed us to pose, and it avoided having to take multiple shots. There was no guess work on his end, if he took the photo, he knew it was perfect. I wanted to add that detail to this review because I don’t typically love getting my picture taken and multiple retakes creates a lot of anxiety. Dan helped me have fun with getting my picture taken and made me feel like the most beautiful bride.
Dan has built his reputation brick by brick and he lives up to it 10x over. There is so much pride and love that he puts into his weddings, and his team supports him in spreading that throughout the day. Speaking to friends and coworker who have had him at weddings they all agree that Dan is the man, and Dan remembers every single one, even recalling a bride from 10 years ago that my coworker was a bridesmaid for. All his couples, especially his brides, are so precious to him. If you have any doubts about including Dan, or any members of his team, please know that besides the beautiful product they will create, they will create memories and laughs, all while alleviating stress and anxiety for the bride and wedding party.

Jennifer Sent on 05/29/2026Wedding photography with Jenna was perfect!
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!Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
Hey Jenny!
I'm so glad your wedding at Manor House in Mason and your experience with Jenna and Casey were so wonderful!
I appreciate you pointing out the communication because I know it's a big stressor for many couples.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **1000-Star Experience with Don!**
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!
Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
This means so much to me because you are not alone! Aaron's feeling of not wanting to be in too many photos and your desire for a lot of photos but not looking forward to the experience are so common! It's so important to have a great experience and feel confident while being photographed.
Thanks for sharing this in so much detail for future couples. -

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.

Hunter Sent on 10/09/2025The Dream Team Who Captured our Day Perfectly!
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! 💕Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:

I remember my first bridal show I attended last April, 2024 called a Bridal Affair. Not only did I meet incredible vendors there, but I met Daniel Michael and I knew he was going to be my photographer. His work was beautiful, but his personality was even BETTER! :) Having a great photographer is important to document such an important day, but to have a photographer who's fun, hilarious, and fits in with your vibe is A++!! Daniel was all of that and he made our wedding FUN!
Besides, you gotta think... your photographer is going to be with you from start to finish on your big day. Who wouldn't want someone who is going to have as much fun as you are and make you feel like a million bucks!
If you have gotten this far and haven't been sold on Images by Daniel Michael, then you're just not fun! LOL! But really, look into this company because even if you don't hire Daniel Michael himself, he has a team of great and talented people that will make your day just as spectacular! Plus, he will work with you for a price that fits you right!
Thank you, Daniel for a truly memorable day! My husband and I cannot wait to see the masterpieces you captured! XOXOImages by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:

Amy Sent on 06/15/2025I would choose this photographer a million times!
We absolutely loved working with Images by Daniel Michael. From the initial meeting with Daniel we could tell how much his business, his clients, and his employees mean to him. He offered great advice and coached us into picking the perfect staff member for our big day.
And then we met Jenna, who was phenomenal at making us comfortable in front of the camera. She was so attentive and sweet on our big day. We had a tight schedule but I felt zero stress because I knew she had everything under control despite sneaky raindrops and out of control cicadas. She stayed the entire day to make sure she didn’t miss a moment. Toward the end of the evening, one my friends told me they saw her looking back on her camera at some shots she had just gotten and had a grin on her face from ear to ear. You can tell she loves what she does.
I would recommend Daniel and Jenna a million times. I can’t wait to see the photos and relive the best day ever.Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:

Without any hesitation I would recommend Daniel Michael's photography team to any bride. I hired Eric and he was incredible. I got back my photos and loved it. The ones I didn't love being in black & white, they fixed to enhance and make the colors pop instead. Super easy to work with, get a hold of, coordinate, and they do great work!Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
Hello Lanie,
Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you loved the photos from your special day. Eric, along with our entire team, is passionate about capturing those precious moments, and it's wonderful to know that his dedication shone through in your experience. Your satisfaction with the color enhancements we made to the black & white photos warms our hearts, as we always aim to ensure every image is just as you envisioned.
Your kind words about how easy and enjoyable we were to work with mean the world to us. We understand how important these memories are, and we're honored to have been a part of preserving them for you. Thank you for recommending us – it's the highest compliment we could receive.
Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and love, and we hope to be a part of more joyous occasions in your life.
With heartfelt thanks,
The Images by Daniel Michael Team -

The whole team at Images by Daniel Michael was professional and helpful! Eric our main photographer answered all our questions over the months leading up to the wedding! The day of the wedding they were punctual and helped keep us on schedule. They were even down to help us sneak away from our reception to take beautiful firework photos! They were open to our ideas and feedback, would highly recommend! -

What can I say about Dan? He’s professional, fun, and spontaneous! He truly was passionate about making my experience an incredible one. His team was phenomenal! Tom and Allison (the wedding assistant), I mean WOW! They all catered to my needs before I could even anticipate needing it. I’m so glad that I picked them for my perfect day. Anyone would be lucky to have them on their team!! -

We just cannot say enough nice things about this studio and their photography. We first spoke with Daniel Michael on the phone after he was referred to us by several other vendors we had secured. He was so outgoing and friendly! He really spoke to the craft behind his photography which we enjoyed hearing. We also appreciate the time he puts in day of. He doesn’t set an end time like most photographers, he stays until he feels he’s captured all the shots and moments he needs to or you want him to. He keeps everyone laughing and managed posing our large bridal party with ease (20 people total)!! One of the BEST parts about working with Daniel Michael was his amazing team. I (the bride) cannot say enough nice things about Terry!! She was my shadow, had an emergency kit with anything you could think of, fluffed my dress for every picture, held my flowers and shawl as they were in/out of pictures and had a very calming energy about her which rubbed off on me from the beginning. She was a dream and I can’t imagine my day or pictures being half as perfect without her help. The turnaround on both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures was incredible! We returned home from our honeymoon and were surprised with a sneak peek just one week after our wedding!! The pictures were breath taking, the candids were perfect and we honestly couldn’t imagine having worked with another photographer. Thank you Daniel Michael and your dream team!Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
Hi Alisha! Awesome to hear from you and Will. Terry loved your complement, and thank you for laughing at my bad jokes all day! Its hard not to love your photos! -

From start to finish, this team was absolutely amazing!!! I had Amber as my lead photographer and she was incredible!! I spoke with Daniel first and he sold me on booking their team based on price, accommodations, professionalism and value!! Amber was so nice and so easy to work with! Great energy through both our engagement and wedding day photos. Kept me calm when we were running behind and things went wrong, as they always do with a wedding. She never made me feel rushed and got all the photos I asked for still even after arriving at the venue almost 2 hours behind schedule. Best day ever and a huge part was because of this team and the work they put in!!! Just got our photos back a few days ago and I am over the moon with the quality!!!!! 100/10 would recommend to anyone I know that is looking for a photographer!!!!!Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
Amber loved shooting your wedding, you, Zach, and your wedding party were a hoot! Loved the outdoor ceremony, and what a neat spot for your reception! Amber, Eric, and Kristin had a great time with your crew! -

Beautiful photos and amazing photographers!
We’re so happy we chose to have Images by Daniel Michael photograph our wedding day! As soon as we met with Dan to hear his pitch, we knew we wanted him as our photographer. We had such a great time with him shooting our engagement photos and were so excited to work with him on our wedding day. His entire team was amazing! Our wedding parties and families even commented on how great the photography team was. They were also so prepared! They brought a toolbox filled with anything you could possibly need and even fixed someone’s hem. The pictures came out even better than we could have imagined. They captured so many little details that could have been easily missed, like the weird faces my now wife and I tend to make at each other or the table numbers we made ourselves. In the rush of the day we forgot to have pictures of our invitations taken, and Dan offered to have us stop by the studio so he could take them there. Thanks to everyone involved for helping to make our wedding day special! If we had to do our wedding all over again, we’d definitely choose Images by Daniel Michael as our photographers again!Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
Thank you for your kind words Rebecca! It really goes to show how an experienced team can make the day, so much fun and laid back.
Its all about getting you to be yourselves, and capturing those details, as every wedding day goes by so fast! Myself, Kirsten, and Terry loved spending the day with you! -

Amazing pictures!
Don is a photography mastermind! I am beyond thrilled with our wedding photos, and I am so happy we chose Images By Daniel Michael to photograph one of the most important days of our lives! Right off the bat, we had a good feeling about this studio. Daniel was so easy to talk to and really helped us understand the art of photography before we even got into talking about booking, which made me feel more comfortable about what we were paying for. We decided to book Don for our big day. I mean, his portfolio of photos was fantastic, so i was not worried about our photos, but I was still floored (in the best way possible) by what we received. We had several artistic shots showcasing our venue, as well as all of the family and candid shots we were looking for. Don took time to figure out our style and what we liked/wanted from our wedding photos. He is so talented! We had several family members and wedding guests ask about who took our photos. They really were amazing! I absolutely loved ever photo he took. The only problem you will have is deciding which photos you want to display! cannot recommend Images by Daniel Michael enough! Thank you Daniel, Don, and the amazing photography teams and assistants for capturing our most precious memoriesImages by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
You guys are the best! Thanks so much for taking the time to say all this about Don. I know it's well deserved as we both know his passion and work ethic. He's going to be thrilled to see this! -

I'm so glad you loved them! Johnny, Rick, Kirstin and Terry will be so happy to see this. I'm so happy to hear it was such a wonderful experience! -

Cathy and Joe's Wedding/Reception
In making a decision on a photographer for our wedding, we met with Daniel Michael, hearing his “pitch”. Cathy had already read his company’s online reviews, and this is what led us to meet with Images by Daniel Michael.
The reality is that when you choose a business for a service, you really don’t know whether it’s a good decision until after the event. You look back on the event and how things went, and then you ask yourself… would I choose this company again for the same service?
In the case of Images by Daniel Michael, the answer is absolutely YES! Daniel and his staff were all extremely professional, but also very approachable. But what made our event flow was that Daniel and staff were very experienced in how to keep things moving, while also coming up with some unique and amazing settings for photos.
Every appointment was on time, every time we met with Daniel and his staff they impressed us with how seasoned they were, and also how much fun it would be to have them there on our special day. Daniel chooses his staff and you can see his influence is why this company has such great employees.
If we had to do it all over again, we would pick Images by Daniel Michael!
Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
Thank you so much Cathy and Joe! It truly is after the fact, you look back and realize how important it is to have a good team with you all day that knows what they're doing! After all the meetings, its always great to show up the wedding day, confident you're getting everything you hoped for with photos, and having fun while doing it! -

We used this vendor at our wedding at Pinecroft in October. Lauren and her team were absolutely awesome the entire day. For all 12 hours they spent with us, they captured all the emotion of the day from so many people. Looking at the photos brought back all the tears of happiness of the day as if we were reliving it again. They did an absolutely magical job! I would highly recommend them!Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
Thank you Linda! Lauren will make sure you get all the photos you would possibly need, a 12 hour day is long, but not unusual for us! The Candid photos Rick took are probably your favorite photos you never even knew were taken. Its truly magical seeing the emotion come out when you look back on the day! -

We just got our photos back and by far the best photos I have ever seen. I would have easily paid double to have Don, Johnny and Rachel take our pictures again! During the day of our wedding they were all so fun and amazing! They were very helpful with every little detail. You will not be disappointed in how amazing these talented photographers are!Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
Thank you Kyle! Don is amazing at what he does; not just photography, but the way he just puts you at ease. And speaking of details, I loved how you had so much personality sprinkled throughout the day! -

Ciara Sent on 08/22/2019Exceeded my EVERY expectation
I cannot day enough about this company. Every step of the way they have been outstanding. My husband and I chose Mark for our wedding photographer and have been blown away. From making sure every detail was covered in engagement photos, staying up to date and in contact with us, to being amazing on our big day. Our contract was for Mark to stay the first hour of the reception (to ensure to capture the day and some of the party)... he stayed until the VERY END! He captured every time we were on the dance floor and our very last dance.
When you go for appointments they do a great job getting to know you and what you are looking for! They have an amazing bar stocked with rare bourbons (and everything else, my husband was very impressed with the bourbon selections). We even met Daniel who have my husband recommendations on where to find the rare Bourbons.
His whole team (Jenna and Amber) were all fantastic. I cannot wait to see how the photos turn out. They are well worth every dime and the best in the Tri state
We are expected to get photos back in September and I will upload some then!Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
Thank you Ciara! Im sure Mark got some fun photos as the reception went along! Until the wedding day, its hard to understand how important Jenna and Amber are! I hope Daryl has started a little Bourbon collection of his own! -

The team from Daniel Michael Photography exceeded our already very high expectations. Johnny, Don, and Jenna made everything from the planning through the entire day of the wedding a professional, stress-free and exciting experience. The way the photographers played off one another's strengths completely captured every facet of the day and made every moment, from hysterically candid faces, to the beauty and majesty of the dress against the skyline, pop to life in the finished photos. The way the team blended into our party allowed them to capture some things i couldnt have dreamed of, and made our guests all comment on how amazing they all were. Our finished photos came back much faster than expected and look so beautiful we don't know where to begin with choices!! Thank you! -

Daniel Michael Photography was an all around amazing experience. When we met with Daniel Michael to see if we wanted to work with him, he was welcoming, friendly, and very warm. He sold himself and his team without over talking himself, which was a turn off we had with other vendors we met with but didn’t hire. We were paired with Photographer Don who is very friendly and has a passion that he just can’t hide. He got to know us with an Engagement Photo Session. It started raining at the park, but it wasn’t pouring, so we had fun with it and he captured some very fun and beautiful pictures. I like that he can take advantage of a situation that doesn’t seem very enticing. Don did the same thing when it rained on our wedding day! Luckily we had a venue that had a wrap around covered porch. I really wanted outdoor fall photos, but the day was so rainy that it didn’t seem possible. We got some pseudo outdoor photos using the covered porch, but also got out a few times for not so rainy photos. We met with him a few weeks before the wedding and talked about what we wanted, who was going to be involved in photos, and where everything would be. He showed up at the Salon to take photos. When I was laughing because my nephew was watching his iPad while laying underneath chairs in the waiting room, Don immediately ran to him to take photos. This made me feel like he truly wanted to capture all the moments of the day, no matter how silly they seemed. That made me feel so... taken care of, for lack of better words.
Truly a great experience with Daniel Michael Photography. I plan to use them for future photography needs - Maternity, kids, etc. I would recommend them to all my friends and family!Images by Daniel Michael Photography's reply:
That is so sweet! I'm so thrilled how at ease you felt. Weather can be so stressful but Don is such a brilliant photographer that it's just another opportunity for him! He was so happy to read this. You know how personally he takes every one of his couples!

Rose Sent on 12/07/2017Words cannot describe how truly happy we were to have Daniel Michael photograph our wedding. We will continue to use him in the future for capturing all of our most important life moments. He was so fast and no one ever felt like they were having their pictures taken. The way he interacted with us and the guests was amazing. We still have people talking about how funny and friendly our photographer was. I think he seen more of our guests than we did! When you look at our pictures you can actually see the emotions the people are feeling. They say a picture paints a thousand words, his really do. If you are looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Imagines by Daniel Michael does.

Emily Sent on 11/07/2017I loved working with Lauren at Images by Daniel Michael! She was so easy and fun to work with. We first had our engagement pictures done by Lauren and she captured exactly what I was looking for. She was very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process! She took the time to sit with us and go over the whole day and exactly how we wanted it to go. For the day of the wedding Lauren and her team were so nice, happy and helpful! She made sure we stuck to our timeline but captured everything that we asked for. We received a preview on Facebook a couple weeks after and they were AMAZING! I cannot wait to look through all of them. We had so much fun working with Lauren and I highly recommend her if you are looking for a wedding photographer!

Amanda Sent on 09/28/2017I have nothing but positive ravings about Johnny, our master photographer, his second shooter, Hope, and my "matron of honor" Natalie (Natalie was the bridal assistant - but she was so awesome we started calling her my matron of honor!), and everyone at Images by Daniel Michael.
From the very beginning, the staff at Images by Daniel Michael were so kind and welcoming. Johnny continuously went above and beyond our expectations - with our engagement shoot, my bridal portraits (rock the dress, session B), and of course the wedding! We get nothing but compliments about our photos. Even before we got them back, people kept asking us "who is your photographer, he's so good!" but how they knew he was awesome (he definitely is) I'm not sure, but they're spot on!
The entire staff is phenomenal. Before we set up the initial appointment, I was quite certain we would hire Images by Daniel Michael. Upon meeting Daniel Michael, both my (now) husband and I knew we had to hire them immediately - they were the only studio we met with! They were the first vendor (aside from the venue) that we booked, and we booked 2 years in advance. Every time Linda (office assistant) emailed that my pictures were done, I came the same day because I was too dang excited. Linda was always so accommodating as well! She stayed a little late in the studio on a Saturday so I could get my engagement photos! She is so sweet and I'm sure I seemed crazy! Haha.
Johnny, Hope, and Natalie worked together fantastically as a team. They were all in sync and so accommodating. Natalie constantly would tell me that I was to do nothing - she would take care of it - and she did.
I seriously could ramble on and on about how awesome these humans are, but I'll end it with this: we got all 800+ gorgeous photos within 11 days of our wedding. Look no further! -
