Charmaine Sent on 10/09/2020Book them!
Where to begin with Clay and Dani! My husband and I met Clay and Dani through our venue Bella Collina. Prior to our meeting I was incredibly intimidated by his photography style but was intrigued enough to ask them to come for an interview at our venue. Through the interview process and beyond, Clay and Dani knocked it out of the park. There are many talented photographers out there but with Dani and Clay you really are getting something special. They are some of the most compassionate and passionate people you will ever meet and we are so fortunate to have met them.
They truly are a dynamic duo in terms of photography talent and business.
The day of our engagement shoot - the weather was nonstop rain. There was a moment a torrential downpour started and I thought we would all run for cover but Clay crouched down (without cover!) and took extraordinary shots. He never ceases to impress me with his ability to find the best photo opportunities regardless of the circumstances.
From our engagement shoot to the wedding day - Dani continued to check in with me to see how I was doing and closer to the wedding day provided helpful guidance for the wedding day, and asked for a shot list to ensure we were able to capture the most important shots. They day of the wedding, I was stressed and overwhelmed with a number of things that went wrong and when they arrived - they both consoled me and told me everything was going to alright and it definitely helped alleviate my stress. I really appreciated that affirmation and I think that speaks volumes to how caring they are.
I could go on and on but, in short- if you need a photographer for ANYTHING Clay and Dani are your people. Book them and you won't regret it. -

Shayla Sent on 07/03/2023Highly Recommend Booking Them!!!
We can’t say enough great things about Clay and Dani! They are so thoughtful, artistic, welcoming and fun to work with. Luckily we were able to book them for both our engagement photos and wedding. We are not the type of couple who know how to pose in photos but Clay and Dani walked us through every step of the way even giving little tips and tricks. It's amazing how much moving your leg just a few inches can make the photo pop but it is that level of detail and attention that make Clay and Dani so amazing. On our wedding day they got every one of our must have photos and were even able to accommodate our last minute ones including some from our guests. You can truly tell they care about what they do and even more so enjoy it. After the wedding they invited us back to reveal the highlights putting a slideshow together and spending time talking just making us feel so welcomed. They have a great eye for epic pictures and we are so excited that we have them forever! We highly recommend booking them!! Thank you Clay and Dani for capturing amazing memories! -

Clay and his wife Dani were the first vendors besides our planner that we booked, and we knew right away we had made the right choice. They invited us to their gallery home to show us their work, talk about their packages, pick out something perfect for what we wanted, and to get a feel for our personalities so they could make sure to capture those. Our engagement shoot was a freezing cold day but they were so accommodating with breaks and outfit changes that the pictures turned out gorgeous regardless. They even had us over for snacks, champagne, and a reveal of our guestbook with our engagement photos! On wedding day, Dani and Clay both played such a huge role in helping us capture every step of the process, and even though by the end of it I felt like I couldn't take another picture, their bubbly personalities and fun demeanor put me at ease that it was worth all the walking around and posing because I knew the pictures would be worth it! My husband and I had so many guests who all wanted pictures and family shots and Dani and Clay stayed the duration of the entire wedding, party, and send off to make sure everything was captured beautifully. Clay has such a great eye for turning any setting into a beautiful photo - his work combines drama, emotion, framing, and lighting in such a way as to really capture a single moment that feels so candid and intimate while really being a masterpiece of planning and execution. Dani's warm big-sister presence kept me feeling calm and she definitely helped us stick to the timeline! It was so wonderful to work with a husband-wife team that showed such teamwork, care, and passion for their craft. By the end of our day, we felt like we'd been photographed by old friends who happened to also be amazing professional photographers! I cannot wait to see the finished photos! -

Passionate photographer with attention to detail and above all they develop a personal relationship with the couple and parents. Clay and Dani are not just photographers, their photos will show you like a video all what you missed at the wedding because of all that is going on. What most touched me was that Clay helped my son Michael get ready as he was running behind. Unfortunately, his father is not in his life so this made me cry when Michael shared this with me.
Dani also brought Charmaine a gift at the interview and then when we went to see the photos there was champagne and these delicious Brazilian cheese bread appetizers.
I think of them as part of our family now because they spent nine plus hours with us on the wedding day as well as for the engagement shoot.
You will get more than what you paid for when you hire with PhotosByClay. -

They took the time to get to know us as a couple, are very easy to get along with, extremely patient, kind, and professional. They know all the details to capture, big and small, and go above and beyond in order to provide a memorable experience capturing life's important memories!

AMAZING ! :))
In every way !! This is the photographing team you want by your side for any special occasion.
I’m a pro makeup artist and hairstylist For over 17 years. I love my job but it’s talent such as theirs that really make me love what I do. Clay and Dani have this incredible energy. It’s infectious and will translate in all your photos. They are talented, punctual, detail oriented, creative and enthusiastic.
You just can’t go wrong.
It’s always an honor to work along side such beautiful artists. -

Clay and Dani are dedicated to make sure you are completely happy with their work.
We hired Clay and Dani to photograph our December wedding. While speaking to Clay over the phone I could tell he immediately knew what we were wanting. Their professionalism is above par. They captured every moment of event and their work is captivating. If you review the pictures on their website you will see examples of the excellent work. What you don’t see is their charming personality, which literally is the icing on the cake! I would HIGHLY recommend them for any event. I’m so glad I was able to witness their talent first hand! -

Ernesto Sent on 03/19/2020Affordable and beautiful photos just perfect for us
Clay and Dani were wonderful to work with. My husband-to-be at the time and I sifted through tons of wedding photographers on WeddingWire looking for example photos that would reflect our “style” at an affordable price, and we finally hit the nail on the head with Photos by Clay. This fun and professional husband and wife team met with us privately to discuss our needs, attended planning events with our wedding planner (Knot Your Average Events, also incredible, highly recommended!). Clay and Dani attended our rehearsal dinner to get to know the family before the wedding. We were extremely pleased with their ideas and the finished product! The extensive online photo gallery was available to us for a year after the wedding. We ended up purchasing an amazing slideshow that Dani put together with her own musical background, that we could share with guests and friends who could not attend, an album, and several metallic prints for framing and gifts. We brought our wedding album to our green card interview with USCIS and the interviewer was so impressed he called in a passing colleague to look at the album. Clay and Dani really captured the magic and happiness of our wedding evening such that these strangers were touched! My husband got notice that his greencard was approved the same evening. We still keep in touch and are friends with Dani and Clay; they are exceptional people! -

Kevin Sent on 03/13/2020One of the industry's finest...
I've known Clay and Dani by reputation and I have admired their work for several years but it was only recently that I had the privilege (yes, privilege!) of working with them. Based on my 25 years of experience as an ordained minister and officiant, I have rarely encountered such a combination of consummate professionalism and outstanding interpersonal skills. While the choice of photographic style is a matter of taste and personal preference, in my opinion their work is always stunning and captures the very essence of a couple's wedding day. Most importantly, they are kind, warm personable and caring and willing to do whatever it takes to capture every moment of their couples' special day in the most captivating and artistic way possible. Clay and Dani have far exceeded even my very lofty expectations of their work. Get in line and book them NOW! -

If your looking for a Photographer-photobyclaync-Clay and Dani - should be your only choice. I just finished looking at the beautiful pictures of my daughter and son-in-laws wedding in Feb. It took me 2 sitting to be able to see them without crying. They captured the day with such ease and friendliness they felt like family. From engagement pics, bridal portraits, and wedding day start to finish. So many pictures we will be able to re live the day for years to come. Thanks Clay and Dani was great to meet you both. -

Clay and Dani - where to begin!! We went to the Bridal Show January 2019. Our goal for the day was find a photographer and DJ. The bridal show was very hectic. When we stopped at Clay and Dani’s booth - we spoke with them for about 5-10 minutes. In those minutes we never once discussed their services or pricing - Clay wanted to hear our story. How we met/engagement/ plans so far. That, in addition to their amazing personalities, made us choose Photos by Clay. With the welcoming feeling we had from them, not to mention their affordable pricing - they were our first choice. I feel like Clay and Dani were a part of our family. We got engagement photos, bridal portraits and wedding photos. The photos we have are truly a treasure to forever remember our amazing day. I would highly recommend this amazing team!! If we ever have a need for a photographer in the future they will be our first choice! -

This February Photosbyclaync photographed my sons wedding in Raleigh, NC. Dani & Clay were marvelous in putting the bride, the groom and the bridal party at ease throughout the event. They moved around effortlessly and captured memories we will cherrish forever. They were sensitive to and respectful of the people involved in all aspects of this event. They worked their magic in spite of the wintery weather we experienced on the day of the wedding. They showed patience and talent in getting the flower girls and ring bearer to smile especially in group settings.
After reviewing the entire bridal/wedding shoot, I am having a challenging time to choose the highlights for my album. There is no doubt that Dani & Clay have captured the radiant essence of the bride and the debonair charm of the groom from every angle and lighting condition. I would sincerely recommend “photosbyclaync” as photographers who succeed in capturing the ’Special moments’ of the bride, the groom, the wedding party, their families and guests.
This team brings their “A” game to all your special occasions and milestone events. -

Alan Sent on 03/11/2020Awesome husband and wife team!
I've worked with Clay and Dani with Photos By Clay on several weddings and shoots. Their professionalism and abiliity to capture the perfect shot is amazing. Unique to them is their ability to use darks and shades to contrast color. You see many photographers overexpose to white wash and soften, and Clay does this when appropriate, but he's a natural when using the edge to create stunning pops of color. The lengths they go through to capture the perfect angle with positioning and light is insane; it's not uncommon to find Clay laying on the floor with his camera and meter looking for the perfect shot. If you are looking for an uncompromising professional photographer with a flair, look no further. -

Brittani Sent on 02/14/2020Magical Wedding Day💕
When I started the journey of wedding planning I said that the one thing I would NOT play around with would be the photography. I searched and looked.. actually stumbled across Photos by Clay but having looked through some of the pictures I said to myself this guy is amazingggggggggg there’s no way I could afford that.. a few months later my daughters gramma brought up the name again and I said to myself let me just check it out and Wow am I glad I did! This husband/wife duo was soooo patient with us and made us feel so comfortable during our engagement/wedding. They are sooo thorough and will keep going until they get the perfect images! Tonight we had our photo reveal and I was blown away at our images! Me and Clay want to thank y’all so much for your passion and for giving us the gift of these amazing images! We will be sharing the images soon!💕 if y’all need a wedding photographer this is IT! -

Clay and Dani are the best at what they do. Not only is the work that they provide top notch, they also helped us along during the wedding day with keeping things on time. They worked alongside the wedding coordinators to make sure things went seamlessly. I would highly recommend them. Their vision and knowledge are unmatched at capturing those perfect memories. We are so glad that we chose them to photograph our wedding! -

Scotty Sent on 12/10/2019Dedicated Photographer, Fun Addition To Your Wedding!
Clay and Dani were an amazing team who made a wonderful addition to the day! I partnered with them in celebrating a couple and they were integral to the success of the day. I don't know that I ever saw them take a break because they were always on their feet capturing not just the couple, but their guests and loved ones in a number of candid situations! They were looking for shots all night and were incredibly dedicated to catching the bride and groom! I cannot wait to see how amazing their shots look because they worked so hard on the wedding day and it showed! I cannot wait to party with them again very soon, and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for committed professional photographers. -

Photos By Clay is an excellent husband and wife photography duo! They do a great job of working together to get the most amazing shots. I am a wedding planner who had the privilege of working with this couple and I loved every minute of it!
Clay and Dani made sure they were familiar with the venue before the wedding day and even came to the rehearsal to be familiar with the flow of the ceremony. They arrived the day of the wedding ready to go and knew exactly what shots they wanted to capture. They followed the timeline to a tee while being able to capture everything the bride and groom desired! I am impressed with their dedication to the couples they work with, responsiveness to other vendors and love for what they do. I can't wait to work with them again! -

I am so glad that I have found Dani and Clay among sooooo many other photographers to shoot for my wedding ceremony and wedding portraits. It is fate and it is karma :). Despite the time zone difference and the quite non-traditional family-style setting I requested, Dani and Clay have worked with me in relatively aggressive timeline. Their references for bakery, hairstyle and makeup as well as florist have literally helped achieve my mission-impossible wedding with across the globe planning journey. Thanks for your passion and enthusiasm in your work and in helping people in general.....Keep up the ever-demanding artistic perspectives!!

Not only did they capture every detail of the bride’s wedding day, but they were also very attentive, professional, and courteous during the whole process.

They were very professional, funny, and kind. This was our first professional photo shoot and they really helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Aside from being so great to work with, they deliver really high quality products. The prints came out so wonderfully! We are definitely looking forward to working with Photos By Clay again. -
