Hey, I’m Daniel. I’m a NY & NJ wedding photographer who incorporates fresh, contemporary techniques to create dramatic portraits for couples on their wedding day.
My imagery is a combination of cinematic portraiture & true-to-life photos that capture the essence of your story.
Let’s be honest. There are plenty of opportunities for cookie-cutter photos on your wedding day which is why I prefer to deliver more cinematic portraits.

The Process
Daniel and his team are personable and easy-going which instantly made us feel comfortable so there were no awkward or stiff photos. On top of that, Daniel artistic eye added more character to our wedding album - adding eye-catching backgrounds, great poses, and capturing all of the authentic love and happiness of the night. Our wedding album is a true treasure for us, and we love our pictures so much that we have difficulty picking which ones to get printed to put on our walls.

This all depends on the logistics of your day, and also if you want more perspective from your photos. Some more intimate weddings taking place in one location can totally be covered by one photographer. The larger weddings that last 10-12 hours and have multiple locations for the couple’s prep however usually need the second shooter coverage. This ensures all the important parts of your day like prep, first look, and groom’s reaction at ceremony are being covered.
