Dan and Marie were fantastic to work with. We just received the photos back from our wedding day, and the photos are stunning! We worked with Dan as our primary photographer, and w...
e had a second as well - I feel bad as I can't recall her name - and they were both so professional, great at directing for the photos and seeing what would make a beautiful shot and making it come to life. It's going to be difficult to narrow down the selection to what we want in the photo album with how many gorgeous photos they took. So thrilled! I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!
Dan and Marie are both very helpful and their second shooter is so so sweet. Our wedding pictures are beautiful! No issues with them given the pandemic. Cant wait to order our albu...
m. long distance planning wasn't a problem either and they did a wonderful job getting the types of photos we were looking for
Hands down, best photographers out there.
Dan and Marie are a lovely couple that perform exceptional teamwork which is incredibly vital in a wedding and the wedding planning proc...
ess. Our wedding photos are so exquisite that I must have looked through them 100+ times the week after we received them. Their partnership truly shines through the entire process— from booking all the way through to the final photos. They really are talented and an absolute treasure to work with!
Our wedding was almost 200 guests and a jam packed schedule filled with a number of personalized nuances that they adapted to with excitement. They made sure to call and double/triple check on plans/timelines and even reached out to our DJ to make sure everyone was on the same page. Our wedding was in August in St. Augustine… hot, sticky, humid, gross, etc. BUT it didn’t stop Dan from capturing a plethora of lovely moments all the while, sharing a few laughs with our family and bridal party. As a former photographer, Dan’s hustle to get that perfect shot (especially in the heat) was admirable.
Genuinely one of the best parts of our wedding. A solid 5 stars for Dan and Marie at Appleseed Photography. 100% recommend!
Dan & Marie with Appleseed Photography are a pleasure and joy to work with. We love the quality of their photos! I don't know how they make our photos look so stunning!! I cannot ...
say enough great things about this company. If you need amazing photos, I highly recommend Appleseed Photography.
Appleseed Photography is absolutely amazing! They shot our engagement/family photos and wedding. All of the shots were gorgeous! The wedding action shots were beautiful! They did a...
great job of capturing moments. Dan has a great eye and is very talented. They were a joy to work with. Worth EVERY PENNY!!
Dan and Marie were so sweet and fun to work with!!! Our pictures are INCREDIBLE! More beautiful than I ever thought they could be! We couldn’t be happier!
Excellent photographers! Marie and Dan did an amazing job on our wedding photos and I couldn't be more pleased with them. We had to relocate the wedding due to a hurricane and they...
were able to incorporate some great ideas in our pictures on the spot. They know how to position everyone in the frame just right! Also, the details, lighting, and special effects added to the pictures were stunning! We will definitely use them again in the future. If you are looking for true professionals to photograph an event, these are the ones!
Marie and Dan are incredible. I coordinate events as a living and I know I was probably very nit-picky with timing and shot lists. Not only were Marie and Dan accommodating, they...
were willing to talk about the creativity of the shot, the timing and schedule for the day knowing we had multiple locations, and truly went above and beyond the call of duty. Great folks and genuinely funny. They would crack a joke that was actually funny and get a candid laugh from my husband and I which resulted in some great photos. We loved Appleseed!
True Artist!!! I was introduced to Appleseed Photography by my wedding planner. She assured me that I would love their work and I did. I got married March 18th of this year. We had...
a Great Gatsby themed wedding so everything had to be grand and timeless. We first met with Marie and had the pleasure of Dan shooting our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day. When me and my husband received our pictures back we were immediately filled with emotions. The pictures were so perfect. We felt that we were living our wedding night all over again just looking through them. They did such a great job capturing every moment as well as embracing the theme. God has truly blessed them with an amazing gift. Thank you Appleseed Photography for photographing the best day of my life and making out memories look stunning!
Dan and Marie are wonderful to work with! Their photos and work speak for themselves. I received my finished photos today and am blown away by how many beautiful moments they captu...
red and the artistic eye they have! Absolutely amazing photos that we will enjoy for many years to come! I highly recommend them!
We loved working with Dan and Marie. Our pictures were amazing. They truly captured everything we would have wanted. They took the time to capture pictures of nearly all of our ...
guests. Everyone was talking about how personable they were and how fun they made it!
Appleseed Photography was hands down the best decision I made for my wedding (besides my groom, of course!) I spent several hours researching photographers in the area but when I c...
aught sight of Appleseed’s work I was immediately impressed… the photos were beautiful; so vivid and artsy! I was so excited about the opportunity to work with them (and have amazing wedding pictures too!) that I bypassed my wedding planner and called them right away. They were quick to respond.
They are a husband and wife team (Dan and Marie). Very easy to work with. I read another review that said “They bring such a fun and laid back energy.” and I couldn’t agree more! Dan (my main photographer) made me feel comfortable and had me laughing when I was sure I’d be nothing but nervous. He really made it fun. At one point he asked to take a photo of me holding a bunch of Twizzlers like a bouquet! It was unexpected but turned out to be such a cool and very unique picture! My wishes came true many times that day thanks to Appleseed. We even got to take some special photos with our youthful dog (all dressed up in a bowtie & super proud) right after our first look.
Appleseed was very helpful and I’m comfortable saying they went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I was happy every step of the way. They were open to offer their professional advice on the set-up and placement of our homemade photo booth (paper-moon / starry night back drop) in terms of lighting, location, shadow, etc. And for our engagement shoot they reviewed photos of outfits I was contemplating and assisted me with selecting and coordinating the best options. They also helped me narrow down the options for engagement shoot location by sending me links to view previous sessions they photographed at the sites I was considering. So helpful. They gave me their honest opinions on the pros and cons of each place, like lighting restrictions, crowdedness/privacy issues, etc.
When my wedding venue notified us last minute that we wouldn’t be able to have as much time to take photos (on-site) as we had originally planned, Appleseed kindly brought on extra support (3 people) to assure we got every photo possible.
They made a point to ask about/become familiar with any sensitive family issues and managed to remember despite everything else they were juggling on my wedding day. True professionalism.
I recommended Appleseed to my friend who needed a photographer for her maternity session. When I told her I was writing them a well-deserved review she asked me to add these comments about Marie (her main photographer): “She was very warm and accommodating to my (very pregnant) condition… always concerned with my comfort, making sure I wasn’t hot, tired, etc. She even called to make sure I brought water. She was so kind and I really enjoyed the shoot. It was much appreciated.”
I’m so grateful I found Appleseed Photography. And I’m oh so grateful for my beautiful pictures- they’re absolutely incredible (Thank you Appleseed!!!)! I highly recommend Appleseed Photography to anyone seeking any kind of professional photography. I know they will be my go-to so long as I live in the FL/GA area!
Marie and Dan from Appleseed were very responsive to all my questions before the ceremony. Marie helped me to create a wedding day timeline, and on the big day, when things did no...
t go exactly as planned (weather and cranky wedding party member), Marie and Dan seamlessly adjusted the timeline and kept cool heads. At the reception, they were so pleasant in working with me to take all the photos I wanted of my and my husband's family. Although I have not yet seen the wedding photos, the engagement photos were gorgeous! I highly recommend Appleseed Photography.
My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Appleseed Photography! Do not even bother using anyone else because no one can compare. We loved working with Marie and Dan for both our engagemen...
t and wedding day photos. They are extremely hard workers and are so great and amazing at what they do as you can see in all of their pictures. They have such wonderful ideas and are willing to listen to your own ideas as well and they make you feel very comfortable as they take your pictures. Dan and Marie are willing to do whatever it takes to get the best pictures such as climbing on trees, laying down on the ground, and much more! Thanks for doing such a great job Appleseed!
I decided to go with Appleseed Photography after checking out some of Dan and Marie's work on their blog/Facebook page. They were truly professionals throughout the entire wedding...
process - start to finish and Marie was always quick to respond to any questions via email.
On the day of our wedding both her and Dan were hustling to get the perfect shots and totally went with the flow of the wedding. They were practically unnoticeable, but at the same time were right there in the middle of things getting the perfect shot!
They were a pleasure to work with and would recommend Appleseed photography to any of my friends needing a professional photographer.
My wedding pictures were amazing I will return to Appleseed over and over thank you so much.
Marie and Dan were wonderful. They were able to get all of our pictures done in a professional manner yet fun and casual at the same time. They were able to put up with my family a...
nd all ther demands, which says wonders right there. We haven't got our wedding photos back yet but I know they will be great. They did an engagement shoot for us last minute and those photos were wonderful. This pair really knows their stuff.
We had an awesome experience with Appleseed Photography. When I called for a consultation they were very helpful and walked me through the entire event explaining all of my options...
for photos. We chose the silver package with an extra hour. The day of we had Dan and Jeannie and they were both great to work and very flexible with any changes that occurred. The pictures turned out beautiful and we would totally recommend them to other Brides!

Marie and Dan were a blessing that came to us through Facebook. They are so easy to work with, such wonderful energy, and so down to earth. They know how to work with people and ...
make them feel comfortable. We cant wait to see our photos and we are patiently waiting :) We loved working with the duo and defiantly recommend them.
This husband and wife team from Appleseed were heaven sent! We had a small wedding and reception two locations & both outdoors. As soon as we said our I do's it started to pour rai...
n throughout the entire night. Somehow, Appleseed managed to capture amazing photos throughout the night. Some brides may have been upset but we all embraced mother nature & even held our toast in the rain! Even though I was satisfied, they encouraged a complimentary photo session just for the "more intimate" photos that we weren't able to get since it started raining cats and dogs immediately. We had the full package from the getting ready pics through the end when everyone started to head home... I am extremely satisfied and will continue to hire Appleseed for every family event :)
We found Appleseed Photography through the knot. We were a little hesitant to use a photographer we hadn't met, but because our wedding was out of town we had to take a chance. We...
were glad we did. We made a trip to the venue about 3 months before the wedding to find other vendors and scheduled a meeting and engagement session with Dan and Marie. They were phenomenal and very easy to work with. We received the proofs after about 3 week and were very happy. Dan and Marie had great knowledge of lighting and so much experience with hidden gem locations.
The day of the wedding they were on time and again amazed us with their ability. We had a Catholic wedding at the Basilica in St. Augustine. After the ceremony there was a 3-hr. break till the reception. Dan and Marie were like energizer bunnies, racing us from place to place to take pictures. We were amazed with both their energy and the amount of quality pictures we got. During cocktail hour they raced up to the reception venue and got many pictures of the setup before any other guests got there. They even paid special attention to the wedding party ensuring the entire event was well documented. We would happily recommend Appleseed to anyone looking for a photographer.
Marie and Dan are absolutely amazing. From the first moment I sat down with Marie to discuss options I knew she was the right fit for us. She is very high energy, enthusiastic, cre...
ative, knowledgeable, and professional. It absolutely shows in her work that she sincerely loves what she does for a living. All of the emotions of our big day were perfectly captured! When all is said and done we ended up with amazing memories, perfect pictures, and lifelong friends in Marie and Dan.
Im so happy I chose Appleseed photography on such an important occasion! They did an outstanding job. Both are so personable, funny, friendly, fun, full of ideas, knowledgeable and...
professional. I will be going to them for our family pictures from now on. I really cant give them enough stars!
Marie and Dan of Appleseed Photography are very fun,creative, and professional photographers who make you feel comfortable and secure with your choice on your wedding day. I knew f...
rom the moment I sat down with Marie and looked at their work that this was going to be my photographer. I am an artist/graphic designer and have a very hard time choosing vendors because of my eye for creativity and detail. Marie and Dan's photos have that whimsical nature and artistic touch I am looking for with beautifully saturated colors and amazing lighting effects and editing techniques. They truly take pride and show passion for what they do. They made our wedding day look as if it was ripped from a magazine. Marie even worked through her cold/Flu to be with us on our day. The process has been fun, organized, and very fast! My sister had such a hard time getting back her photos from her photographer, I only wish she had had the same service that my husband and I had. The value of these photos is out of this world crazy. Appleseed photography is a hidden secret for brides looking for a value but who do not want to risk quality and that creative edge. I will be using Marie and Dan for any baby photos in the future.
I recently got married in December and after much research decided to contact Dan and Marie. From the first email Marie was extremely nice, helpful and fast with responding. We spo...
ke on the phone a few weeks before the wedding to finalize details and after our conversation, I knew they were going to be fantastic. She covered details I would have never thought about. On the day of the wedding...which was supposed to be an outside ceremony and reception it rained and we were forced to move inside. Despite the changes Dan and Marie were extremely flexible, compassionate and nothing short of wonderful. They are so creative and were able to capture beautiful photos despite the rain. Every detail and exciting moment from ceremony to exit was captured for us to look at and remember forever. Every picture is amazing and I could not be happier. The rain was no match for them or us and I am so grateful that they were willing to go out and take pictures in that weather. They went above and beyond and even after stalking their blog and facebook page, knowing we were going to get wonderful photos, they still exceeded my expectations. We even got our pictures early! I cannot say enough good things! I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a photographer for any occasion. They even traveled 2 hours for us and were very reasonable on travel expenses. THEY ARE FANTASTIC!!!
Dan and Marie were wonderful!!! Dan had never photographed a wedding at Jekyll Island before and he went prior to the wedding to look around the island and find good photo opportun...
ities. Dan and his assistant showed up early on the wedding day and stayed late. They worked so hard and the photos turned out great. I could not be more pleased and would recommend them to anyone.
Appleseed Photography is the best of the best! Dan and Marie went out of their way to make our wedding special. They were even early for the event, and worked so hard to make sure ...
we got the best pictures (and as many of them as possible!). The pictures are stunning, the rates are good for any budget, and you will not find friendlier or more professional individuals to work at your wedding!
Marie and Dan are absolutely wonderful. They will communicate and meet with you to make sure that they understand the pictures, feel, and memories you really want to keep from that...
day. They captured lighting, memories, emotion- everything I had wanted and asked for. I do not photograph well and was so worried- but the images they captured were amazing. I am very pleased and look forward to enjoying the pictures and memories for years.
I looked at their blog and I really liked the pictures there. I was so excited when I received beautiful pictures of our wedding. I'm so glad that we chose Marie and Dan as our wed...
ding photographers. They are easy and great to work with. They captured lots of beautiful moments. Photo delivery got delayed because of an accident, but they sent us updates and they were sincere, so there was no problem.
Dan and Marie were AMAZING to work with. I cannot recommend a better photographer. From first meeting Marie I knew they would be a joy to work with. They were very responsive and I...
knew I would not have to worry a bit on my wedding day. They are great at what they do and it really shows in their pictures. They captured every single moment during my big day and I find myself constantly looking at our pictures.
If you want a photographer who is easy and wonderful to work with, very creative, on time, and one that you can trust choose Appleseed Photography. Our pictures are amazing and we know we will want to look at them forever. There was not one bad photo. They are amazing.
My wedding was on June 12, so I haven't seen any proofs yet. However, I know they are going to be great. We searched all around for a photographer for our destination wedding tha...
t met with our budget. Appleseed Photography is who we found and I'm so glad we decided on them. They are really passionate about what they do and I know our photos are going to be amazing! Nothing was out of the question for Dan... he was rolling around in the sand taking our photos. Everyone kept commenting on how they couldn't believe how long our photographers stayed around during the reception. Thanks guys... can't wait to see the photos!!!!!
Dan and Marie were very organized, friendly and great to work with. Not only did they take absolutely beautiful pictures at my wedding but they were organized from start to finish,...
they maintained great communication when I had questions, responded quickly. Even though I only booked them for 3 hours they were very lenient, they didn't try to rush me, they were open to requests/suggestions on poses. Very friendly, professional and talented couple. Great prices, great quality, good eye for photography, lots of experience, plenty of other great reviews. I would recommend them to anyone!
We had a semi-offbeat wedding. It was at Henderson (B&B) but we did silly things like ultimate & volleyball on the beach- we also got in the water at the end of the day & Marie & h...
er husband were so easy going & had just as much as fun as us & our guests which really added to the loveliness of the day. Their pictures were incredible, too! they were also very affordable & offered a payment plan for us, which we needed. they also traveled from Jackson to Destin for a nominal travel fee. They were perfect!
We had our engagement session done recently and were thrilled with the experience. Marie and Dan were fun to work with and were great about getting us a few pics early so we could ...
make our save the dates. They were really easy to work with and we had a blast. Thanks again and I would HIGHLY recommend them!
Marie and Dan were absolutely wonderful to work with! They were very professional, very nice, and I am so happy with the way our photos turned out. I am really impressed with their...
creativity and in the range of different styles of pictures they were able to provide us with. On our wedding day they were right on time and actually stayed a little longer than we had originally planned to take some family photos for everyone. They did a great job dealing with my very large, very boisterous family!
Our wedding planner actually ended up ditching us at the beginning of the reception and Marie and Dan stepped in and helped guide us through the rest of the reception. They were extremely helpful and we really appreciated the way they stepped in to help us out. Ever since I have gotten back our photos I just can't stop looking at them! Getting such wonderful pictures back is like getting to relive the day all over again. Marie and Dan really went above and beyond and I would hire them again in a second! I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a great photographer!

We were recently married in Hilton Head, SC and had the pleasure of working with Marie and Dan from Appleseed. We were drawn to the photos on their website and were ecstatic to fi...
nd out they would travel to Hilton Head from Jacksonville. We saw each other prior to the wedding and had some photos done beforehand in order to relax more during the ceremony and reception. The time we spent prior to the ceremony with Marie and Dan was exactly what we needed. Marie and Dan made us feel relaxed and were super easy to work with. While we haven't seen the pictures yet, we know they're going to turn out amazing. We can not speak any higher of Marie and Dan. They helped set the stage for the relaxed and casual evening we so wanted.

My husband and I got married on the beach in Destin, FL this summer. We chose Appleseed Photography and we couldn't be happier with the result! Compared to other photographers in...
the area, Appleseed is one of the more reasonably priced. We definitely feel like we got the best value for our money! Call me partial, but I think our wedding photos are breathtaking! We have received so many compliments. I would chose Appleseed Photography again and again to capture the precious moments in my life!
There are not enough words to describe how amazing of a job Marie & Dan did to capture our Engagement & Wedding images! Everything about their pictures are simply beautiful. All fr...
om the lighting, to capturing the most candid moments; allowing us to re-live our special day all over again. They were so easy to work with and and we had an absolute blast shooting with them.

You won't regret having them as your photogrphers, the pictures speak for themselves!! =) - Lorenna & Robert 6/23/12
Marie was wonderful! She is creative, professional and so much fun. She did a fabulous job during our engagement session and our wedding. I would totally recommend her.
Leslie and Dan are worth double what I paid. They were professional, organized, on time, and offered a wide variety of photo options. I truly enjoyed my time with them and the phot...
os are works of art. I could not be happier. Highly reccomend!
Marie was the lone photographer at my small wedding, but that did not stop her from taking a plethora of classy, fun, perfect photos.
Her professional yet fun attitude made ever...
y part of the process a breeze, and it made a potentially stressful part of the day anything but.
She works extremely well with all sorts of family members, from the elderly grandmothers to the on-the-verge-of-tears children.
When I originally saw her portfolio of work, I expected her prices to be extremely high, but her prices were quite reasonable, and I couldn't have been happier choosing her.
I had high expectations, and they were absolutely exceeded.
I can't thank Marie and Dan enough for their AMAZING job on my wedding photography. I have had so many compliments on their work and have referred people to them for their family ...
photos, etc. Hopefully I will be able to use them in the future for a Maternity session. ;) Between their patience, cooperation and professionalism, Marie and Dan couldn't have made my day more perfect! They utilized their time to the best of their ability and came up with some amazing shots. The creativeness of their work is phenomenal. I didn't want the "traditional" posed photos and Marie and Dan were able to capture EXACTLY what I envisioned. I can't thank them enough for all their hard work. Thank you, Appleseed Photography for making my wedding so insanely AMAZING and PERFECT! I couldn't be happier and couldn't have asked for more amazing people to have captured my big day, like Marie and Dan!!! Thank you so much for everything! You will be hearing from me for more photos in the future! Love you guys!!! :) :) -Dean & Kim Mazur
