I looove what I do!! I just really enjoy people. Some other things about me? I'm a sucker for LEGOs, cool watches, coffee ( I roast my own beans) cartoons, traveling, the outdoors and adventures. I think seriousness is sometimes overrated. Why be negative, or a sour-puss? Have fun.. Be nice to Everyone!

Daniel was amazing. We contacted him 4 days before our wedding at Sand Harbor and he got the job done. I liked that he had packages starting at two hours since this was an elopement and we didn't need a large amount of time.
When he sent us our first proofs we actually starting crying they were so good. I 100% recommend that you hire Daniel if you are getting married in the Lake Tahoe area. And if he can get a pic with my three dogs that looks as good as it did, then he probably can do what you need too!

Daniel was absolutely the best. He was very responsive when I first contacted him. He stayed in touch and offered a variety of packages. He's old school too, providing a print credit as well as a thumb drive of all of our photos. He engaged our family and friends and was just fun to be around. His work is lovely. I would highly recommend him.

We couldn't be more thrilled with our experience working with Daniel as our wedding photographer.
Neither my husband nor I (bride) are comfortable in front of the camera, but Daniel made us feel at ease the whole day. His relaxed and professional approach helped us enjoy the day without feeling pressured or stiff in front of the camera.
Daniel has a real talent for capturing natural moments, and we were amazed by how he was able to get beautiful, candid shots without being intrusive.
He also did a fantastic job of organizing our (large and loud) families and bridal party for group photos and met with us several times before the wedding to make sure he had a list of all the group shots we wanted. He returned a sneak peek of photos back to us super fast.
Above and beyond just taking photos, Daniel truly went the extra mile to make our day special. We did an engagement shoot with him the day before our wedding and he brought us a few prints to display on the welcome table - which was super awesome. He also helped ensure we had wine (and water) during dinner. On top of that, let us borrow his Bluetooth speaker while we were getting ready - we forgot to bring one. His thoughtful, caring attitude made our wedding experience even more memorable.
If you're looking for a photographer who not only delivers stunning images but also goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly, we highly recommend Daniel.

Incredible Wedding Photographer -- Exceeded All Expectations!
We couldn't be happier with the experience we had with Daniel Cewinski Photography and can't recommend him highly enough! From the moment we reached out he was responsive, personable, easy to work with, and genuinely excited to capture our big day. He made us all feel comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the photos -- we look natural and genuinely happy. His upbeat professional manner instantly put us at ease, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
We had an elopement ceremony outdoors at Lake Tahoe with our immediate family of eight in attendance. It was our wedding day, our big day, and Daniel felt like more than just a photographer, he became part of the celebration. He connected personally with all of our family members, remembered details just shared and everyone's names as he captured the moments, big and small. He had an incredible way of being everywhere at once without ever being intrusive. We also needed a video of the ceremony at the last moment, which he was able to capture using 3 video cameras and mics on the officiant and the groom. We are so happy we have both formats to remember our wedding day.
When we saw the final photos and video were were so grateful we had found the "fantastically talented" Daniel! The pictures captured the joy and excitement that we all felt. Daniel used the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding forest in the late afternoon to great affect, creating truly breathtaking photos. We have gotten so many compliments from family and friends who have seen the photos -- "Gorgeous" - - "Stunning" -- "Beautiful".
Daniel did a "phenomenal job," as my daughter-in-law aptly said, of capturing all the special moments of our wedding day. If you are looking for someone who is talented, creative, and will treat your wedding day as if it were their own, look no further than Daniel Cewinski Photography. Thank you for capturing so many wonderful memories that we will treasure forever!

His work is truly exceptional - passionate, professional, and sophisticated. On our wedding day, Daniel paid particular attention to our needs, being extremely accommodating with our family and sunset photographs. It was significantly beneficial to meet Daniel during our engagement photoshoot, as it helped us feel secure and motivated for the upcoming wedding. Daniel made the entire experience a joy, and we are thrilled with the beautiful, high-quality photos that captured our special day perfectly. We highly recommend Daniel Cewinski Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Daniel is an absolute joy to work with. He really makes sure he gets every photo possible. He interacts with the guests to keep them up beat and happy. I loved having Daniel as our photographer for our wedding and so did my guests, they had nothing but positive things to say about Daniel and the time that was spent with him at the wedding. He is so fun to work with and he has such an amazing attitude! 10 out of 10 would recommend having Daniel do your next photos!

Daniel was hands down the best vendor we had at our wedding. We met him when looking for engagement photographers in the Lake Tahoe area. He made communication a breeze through the portal and phone calls. My MIL also wanted to add on family photos before our engagement shoot which Daniel added without any hesitation. He knew all the best spots for photos and our engagement shoot turned out stunning.
My husband and I were originally thinking of getting married in Lake Tahoe with Daniel as our photographer. When we switched venues from Lake Tahoe to Lake Arrowhead Daniel made the switch as well so seamlessly.
Daniel checked in multiple times throughout the planning process to see if he could help with anything. When our wedding got closer he scheduled a phone call to go over final details, reminding me of all the things to take for detail shots.
Daniel drove down the Lake Arrowhead the day before and spent hours going through our venue to find the best spots for photos.
On the day of Daniel was incredible. He was early to the venue and already set up and ready to shot when I got there. While doing our rehearsal, he plated my lunch and had a glass of water ready for me when we got back to the cabin. He was constantly asking if I needed anything or refilling my glass with water.
During our first look, he captured the most incredible photos from a distance, making sure my husband and I felt like it was just us. He did the same thing for our ceremony.
He had our family photo list printed out and was on top of it so family photos only took a fraction of the time.
Daniel is one of the most artistic people I have worked with, his work is absolute incredible. My husband and I are so grateful to have found him for our wedding. Daniel is phenomenal photographer and even better human being. He is definitely someone you want at your wedding.

Daniel was the best find ever for our big day! We were first introduced to Daniel a year before our wedding when we were looking for a photographer to take pictures of our engagement in South Lake Tahoe. He help to coordinate our photography session remotely and then took the most beautiful pictures of our proposal.
Fast forward a few months, My wife and I were trying to narrow down a photographer for our wedding day that would be held in Milwaukee, WI. We called Daniel and with excitement he offered to travel from California to Wisconsin at a very reasonable price. We were so pleased as we loved our engagement photos and the energy and professionalism that he brought to our engagement session would be hard to find anywhere else.
In the months leading up to the wedding, Daniel helped us to prepare for our big day not just as it related to our photos but helped us to visualize how we wanted the day to go and where he would fit into everything. To have his wealth of knowledge about weddings and the flow of the day, brought us so much piece of mind.
Daniel travel with his wife (Jennifer) to Wisconsin a few days before our ceremony in order to ensure he knew of plenty of great locations to shoot our pictures. He was extremely organized and on task throughout the day which allowed us to get fantastic pictures of our family members and everyone at the wedding. We were very impressed with his service and his wonderful positive energy that he brought to the whole day.
After the wedding, Daniel provided us with a large portion of our photos as sneak peeks within just 5 days of the wedding. We loved getting to share so many of our photos with friends and family quickly.
Thank you so so very much Daniel! Would could not have had such a beautiful wedding without you and Jennifer.

Daniel was professional, fun, and kept everyone laughing so genuinely that all our pictures have the biggest, brightest smiles. He captured all the best candid shots and knew exactly where to be and when. He felt like family at the ceremony and was so helpful along the way. Our venue originally provided us a photographer but Daniel’s portfolio was so strong that we took a chance and told our venue we wanted a different photographer. He was so, so worth it! A few of our guests even asked for his info for their own events. If I could give six starts I would!

Daniel is amazing. He took time to get to know my wife and I, prepped us for our big day with our engagement shoot, and best of all somehow made me look great in our photos.
He's highly professional, gave us very helpful advice in thinking about how we organized our family and bridal party photos and was super fun to be around the day of the event.
I couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out and highly recommend Daniel!

Daniel put everyone at ease with his positive attitude, enthusiasm and professionalism. He was on time/early, had great ideas for those special candid shots and was a joy to work with. Not to mention the STUNNING pictures he delivered of my daughter’s special day! Nothing can compare to the lifetime of beautiful memories he was able to capture so effortlessly throughout the day. I would 1000% recommend him to anyone searching for that special photographer!!

AMAZING! We first met Daniel for our engagement photos. It was in the middle of November, and the snow. He brought us hand warmers to use throughout the shoot and then provided us with some hot chocolate afterward. They were very thoughtful gestures.
We then hired him for our wedding! He again went ABOVE & BEYOND. We got married in San Francisco, and he came out the day before to check out spots for us to take photos. He was with us ALL DAY, constantly ensuring we were good and had our cups filled. He would also check up on our families, even though none of that was expected of him. He also printed out some photos to look at and take home the same day! For us & for our parents.
Daniel is such a nice and genuine individual. You can tell he LOVES what he is doing. Very personable! We are also excited to have him take our photos for future lifetime events! We could not recommend him more!!!

Let me start by saying that Daniel is the most gifted and amazing photographer that I have ever met! His professionalism, pricing and communications throughout the event(s) is bar none. He puts you at ease from the get go and provides suggestions and referrals for other services if you need. He is genuinely a nice person and so easy going. The guests at the wedding fell in love with him. His talent in capturing memories with perfect angles and lighting is beyond unbelievable. Trust me – you CANNOT go wrong with trusting Daniel to capture your most precious moments in life!

Daniel is the man! We first met in Lake Tahoe for the engagement surprise photoshoot where he helped capture that amazing moment. We generated such a great friendship over that short time that we had him help with our big day.
It was a destination wedding in Maui, Hawaii. Daniel was amazing as he joined us for our rehearsal dinner where we got all the sunset photos one could wish for at the Plantation House and Plantation Golf Course at Kapalua. We had the wedding at the Ritz Carlton - Kapalua where you can imagine had plenty of amazing areas for photoshoots. He scouted out the location days in advance and had an amazing plan in place for all the wanted and surprise photos.
He is not only extremely talented at what he does but he absolutely loves it, and it shows. He is very professional but at the same time knows how to get that genuine laugh or smile in the moment. I would highly recommend him for any local photoshoot in Lake Tahoe area or any destination photoshoot. We definitely look forward to working with our new friend in the future.

Daniel is a freaking rockstar! Hands down the best photographer and one of the best human beings out there! My husband and I were lucky to have found him for our engagement photos and we loved him so much that we immediately hired him for our wedding and a special event with my family. Not only are his photos spectacular, but the process is just as wonderful because Daniel knows how to make you comfortable with his poses and fun sense of humor. We will forever have the best memories, not only because of the photos and videos he has given us, but because we genuinely loved getting to know Daniel and hanging out with him! I fully plan to book him to capture any future special moments and would HIGHLY recommend his services to any person wishing to do the same. We love you Daniel!

Daniel took our Christmas card/engagement photos at the end of last year. We were so happy with him and his product that we hired him to do our wedding and another family photo shoot several days later. He has been nothing short of a pleasure to work with. Extremely responsive and organized. Our venue was a considerable distance from where he lives and the family photo shoot was even farther, several hours away. He was on-time and prepared with an engaging and upbeat attitude. Did a great job of keeping us "on-track" on the day of the wedding and the pictures he took were simply wonderful. Worth every penny. He's also a very nice and engaging person who we have become friends with through the process. We have several friends who are getting married this coming year and will most definitely be recommending Daniel for their events as well. FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!

Daniel went above and beyond! He did more than just take photos of our special day, he helped in every aspect. Asked questions about the wedding day I hadn’t even thought of. Almost as though he was my unofficial wedding coordinator. Daniel is a genuine, energetic, funny, and intelligent person that I would hire again in a heart beat, and would recommend to anyone in search of a photographer. Through his photos I got to experience what my wedding was like in a whole new way. The big day came that my photos were ready for viewing instantly in tears at how beautifully done they were. I couldn’t have been happier.
Thank you Daniel you’re a bad ass photographer and kick ass human!

We had such an amazing time with Daniel! Our family and friends still talk about how great of a job he did. From the moment I first inquired, to the wedding, to the weeks after he has been so responsive, helpful, and continues to go above and beyond. We even got a sneak speak Gallery the day after the wedding! Wedding day he was on-time, and ready to go, he knew all the right shots and took us to all the great locations. I wish we had done our engagement photos with him. 100% recommend! The quality and extras that you get for his package prices is unmatched. Plus you get someone who really cares about you on your special day :)

If we could give Daniel 10 stars we would! When we were first looking for a wedding photographer we had already booked a venue in Lake Tahoe and when we spoke with him over the phone and looked at his work we just felt a great connection with him. A few months later he did our engagement photos and we knew that we had chosen the right photographer. We were so happy with our pictures and when we used them for our Save the Dates and wedding invites, we received many compliments at how natural the photos looked. Due to Covid we had to cancel our Tahoe wedding and for several months at the beginning of 2021 we were in limbo about what we were going to do. Daniel was so great about being flexible with us on whatever route we were going to take to get married. We were going to get married at City Hall in San Francisco and he was more than happy to come down for the day and take pictures of us. We changed our plans again in early April when we decided to get married at the oldest winery in Southern California and Daniel was again more than happy to fly to San Diego for the weekend and capture our special day. We were beside ourselves that he was willing to do that for us after changing plans a few times. Daniel came to our rehearsal and he just knew exactly what to do. He immediately clicked with the wedding manager and I knew he was going to capture our day perfectly. On the day of our wedding he came to the salon where I was getting ready with my sister and the moms and he even brought my sister an iced tea to drink! At the wedding he was so professional and moved so quickly! He even printed out a few photos to give us a sneak peak and handed them to me during the reception - we were so impressed! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Daniel. He went above and beyond during our whole wedding process and we are so happy we found him. He will definitely be the photographer we choose for other big moments in our life. He was responsive, helpful, and just a kind genuine person. You can tell he truly loves people and his work and that is a hard combination to find.
