Dan Cox Photography

We had the privilege of Dan photographing both of our engagement photoshoots AND our wedding! As a lesbian couple, it was incredibly important to have a photographer who would make us feel safe and comfortable throughout the process. We are so thankful for his warmth and kindness, because our comfort and joy shines so brightly through the pictures! In addition, our bridal party and family loved working with him throughout our wedding day! We’re in love with how our photos turned out and we would hire him to capture every occasion if we could! Thank you so much Dan!

Hire Dan! Our wedding pictures turned out incredible. I chose him in the first place because of his unique, moody, artistic, style. Our photos were definitely that and more. We got so many ‘gram worthy pics, but he also was able to capture the friends and family for our memories. The pictures are really all you have after that one day is over and I’m overjoyed with how ours turned out. Can’t wait to get a million prints, photo book, etc and look back on them for years. Communication and punctuality were great. He’s very good at giving direction and posing us. Overall, very fun to work with too!

Dan is truly the most incredible wedding photographer - do not hesitate to book him! We had Dan for both our engagement photos and wedding day, and the entire time he made us feel super comfortable while setting up the most perfect shots. We are obsessed with all the photos that came out of working with Dan. His editing style is impeccable and unique, and every photo is just so beautiful. Not to mention he’s professional, personable, and overall fantastic to work with!

If you are stressed about planning your wedding, let me make your photographer decision easy for you. .. Hire. Dan. Cox. This person is a legitimate artist and the photos (and GIFs!!!!) we have from our wedding our the most special pieces of art we will ever own. My husband and I are the most awkward, unphotogenic people and Dan made us feel like god damn models. His encouragement and pure joy of his profession made our wedding day experience the very best. I truly cannot say enough about how beyond happy we are with our decision to book Dan. I promise you will not regret it.

Book him!!! Seriously. The pictures turned out perfect and working with Dan was smooth and painless. We booked for both engagement and wedding photos. During the engagement session he really helped us relax and get us into position for the various shots. All of them turned out great and it felt like we were just talking to a good friend throughout the session. For the wedding photos because of how things worked out (our fault) he arrived to the venue at the same time as us since we were coming by boat and he was with us (we did the getting ready photos and everything across the lake). He quickly was able to adapt to the venue and began capturing moments with the ceremony starting right then. The photos turned out phenomenal. He captured different angles of us, some photos of our guests, and he framed the first kiss photo perfectly. Given we arrived by boat, we had someone move the boat after we disembarked. This was a public lake though, with other boats on the lake including one docked right behind us. I don't know how much of it was just Dan framing the shot perfectly or being a legitimate photoshop wizard, but all of that lake activity isn't in our first kiss photos like I had feared. Dan is a real life wizard of some sort. Dan also was extremely professional and patient while doing our family shots. We have a large family, and getting everyone to listen wasn't exactly easy but he expertly navigated through each shot and took care of us. Another thing I really appreciated about his photos is the coloring. He nailed it. We had a vibrant color theme with a garden, and my tie was primarily a bright lemon yellow color. His photos captured the essence of all of these elements. I simply cannot recommend him enough! But if you're still reading this and need more convincing, part of the dilemma for us was that one of my best friends is a professional wedding photographer with her husband. They take phenomenal photos-- and actually did our proposal photos 5 years ago. I wanted my best friend to be able to attend the wedding as a guest and so my criteria was to find a photographer as good (or better) than my friend. I looked through dozens of photographers portfolios and I really didn't like any of them until I came to Dan. In other photographer portfolios I found poor color profiles, bad editing, bad framing, etc, but Dan's portfolio was perfect and just what I was looking for. Now that the wedding has passed and we have our wedding photos, I can see he gave us the same level of high quality photos that I had hoped for. For everyone photos are going to be how we remember things long term. Dan can be trusted to help immortalize your wedding day memories. For me I especially appreciate Dan's work because I have aphantasia and I literally cannot visualize things in my head (memories are just a collection of associated words). Even just 2 months after the wedding I can't "See" the memories in my head, but I have Dan's photos. Thank you Dan for helping me see my memories.
