Choosing the right photographer is gonna be one of the most important decisions you will make when planning your Philadelphia or destination wedding. Having an experienced professional - one that captures not only what it looked like, but more importantly, what it felt like in those beginning moments of your journey together is absolutely priceless. What makes me different from other photographers? I've been in business for over 10 years I've photographed over 400 weddings I'm highly trained in all the technical aspects of photography. I can create unique images in any type of weather, in the rain, in the dark, in the snow, on a beach, at high noon or when a timeline completely falls apart and so on. I'm extremely experienced in all aspects of a wedding day; crafting a timeline, pin flowers on a jacket, give you valuable advice on making the best out of the wedding day. I offer a very simple pricing structure either a la carte or popular collections that include two photographers, high-resolution digitals of all edited images with full non-commercial printing rights, online private gallery, travel, and all expenses within 60 miles of Philadelphia. Collections with Daniel benefit from bundle discounts and include images on a USB drive, a secure online gallery portal, as well as a free consultation. Additional collections including two photographers, signature albums, engagement sessions, etc. are available as well and are fully customizable. In order for you to gain the full experience of what custom hand-made albums look and feel like, I highly recommend you schedule a time to meet with me and flip through a signature wedding album made in Italy. This also gives us a chance to get to know each other and discuss more about your wedding day.

Amazing is the first word that comes to our minds when we think of Daniel! Within an hour after we contacted him online he reached out to us to collaborate about our wedding. Throughout the entire process, Daniel listened to our vision while incorporating his own flair. The finish products received were that of a fairy tale wedding. From the original planning, to the calls, to the engagement shoot, to the engagement album, to the lead up to the wedding, during the wedding, and after he was extremely easy to work alongside. During the wedding, we were not “bothered” by him and we barely knew he was there. He captured moments during the day that we couldn't even dream about. When we received the proofs we couldn’t imagine all the angles he, and his second photographer, Ryan, were able to capture. Daniel offers the highest quality product, amazing vision, and results that are out of this world. Daniel offers such extraordinary professionalism in his art that it left us speechless. There aren’t enough stars to give Daniel a true rating. Above and beyond, unprecedented results, and a lifetime of memories. Haley and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

Wow, thank you so much for the rave review guys!!! You were a breeze to work with and we felt honored to be chosen to capture your big day! 💕

We had an amazing experience with Daniel Fugaciu Photography, do not hesitate for a second to book this vendor. Not only Daniel is a very talented photographer, he is also a nice guy who will go out of his way to make you happy and to make your day special! We would give him 10 stars if we could (and I’m someone who almost never likes my photos-but I loved his work :) Both my now husband and I are newbies to professional photography and we are shy in front of the camera. Daniel helped with posing, where to look, how to stand, all of the little things and photos looks amazing. He knew how to capture the light and produced a good mix of “candid” photos of the guests (and us) dancing and having fun, as well as some stunning magazine worthy “editorial” portraits of the two of us. It rained on our wedding day 🙄, but Daniel still managed to capture beautiful photos. Communication with Daniel was great as well. He was always happy to help, very flexible and responses were super quick (quicker than I would reasonably expect). If you are in the middle of planning a wedding, there is nothing more frustrating than not being able to get ahold of one of your vendors for weeks. This will not be a problem with Daniel. He also has electronic portal where contract is signed, where payment reminders are sent and where he collects all of the details about the event and your preferences. This is very helpful in keeping things straight and yourself sane. Be sure to complete questionnaire in as much detail as possible. Highly recommend doing engagement photoshoot ( we thought we didn’t need it, but ended up going for it and got some seriously stunning pictures out of it in a non-wedding outfits!), it was a great opportunity to meet in person before the big day and “test” some poses, angles, make up, hair etc. For the brides- if possible try to time your make up trial and engagement photoshoot to be on the same day so you can get an idea how everything will look like. Finally, we have recently received our albums (our album + parents’ albums), canvas portrait of us, and a couple large prints. All look amazing, I almost cry every time I look at the beautiful photos and remember what a wonderful day it was!

Best choice we made with our wedding! So many compliments on the unique style of some of our wedding photos. Especially loved the action shots of guest dancing, it was exactly what we asked for, no so traditional and more focused on our guests and wedding party enjoying themselves. thank you Daniel!

Response from the Vendor on 02/13/2023

Thank you Valerie! It was a pleasure photographing you guys!

Any questions?

We had a great experience hiring Daniel Fugaciu Photography for our engagement shoot and wedding! Daniel is an extremely talented photographer and captured beautiful photos throughout our entire day. Daniel knows everything there is to know about weddings and thinks of helpful ideas throughout the planning process to make your day a huge success. His video team took great footage and was also quick to respond when we had feedback on our finished product. Thank you, Daniel!

Response from the Vendor on 01/10/2023

Thank you very much Rachel! Much appreciated!

12/16/2022 • Sloane H

Daniel and his team captured our day flawlessly! At times, we even forgot they were there as they stayed out of our way and really captured those candid moments I wanted. I couldn't have asked for more beautiful photos. Daniel went out of his way for each shot he took and his hard work really paid off!

Response from the Vendor on 12/16/2022

Thank you so much Sloane. You guys were a dream to work with!

If you are looking for a photographer who is creative, super talented, with a diamond personality and who has true passion for his art -LOOK NO FURTHER! Daniel from our very first zoom chat was spot on and left me with all the confidence that I had chosen the right photographer. He’s AWESOME!!!

Personally, choosing the right photographer for the most magical day of your life is one of the best wedding investment above of all your plannings and vendors. Our beautiful wedding venue, Penn Oaks Golf Club, provided Benjamin (my husband) and I a list of recommended vendors and when we visited Daniel’s Fugaciu Photography website and saw his work, we instantly knew he was the one we wanted to capture our wedding day. Even after meeting him in person at the venue’s Cocktail Reception, his charisma, and the way he talks about his work and love for photography, we were sold! Daniel is very creative, has great communication skills (prompt at responding to emails and text messages) and he provides quality services! His recommended idea of Ben and I to consider doing a first look, was one of the best decision we‘ve made. Ben and I got the photos of our dreams and unforgettable memories for a lifetime! Daniel and his team perfectly captured our wedding day and they have exceeded our expectations by far. Our wedding was on 8/21/2022, and we are still in love in with all our beautiful photos and videos (see links below). My husband and I, 100% highly recommend Daniel Fugaciu Photography! He's the absolute best and you won’t regret choosing him! https://youtu.be/kRRBnCFgAQY https://youtu.be/GH499-Xun80

Thank you so much Sherika! You guys are rockstars!

Daniel was great to work with! His photos turned out beautifully. His process from start to finish was very professional, helpful, and organized. We were very happy with his work leading up to the big day, through the whole day, and especially the photos that came from it.

11/13/2021 • Jessica J

Highly recommend! Daniel and his team were amazing. He is incredible with communication via phone/text/email and making sure you feel comfortable with the plan. I liked having a client portal on his website so I could keep track of payment schedule and other details. He truly covers every detail. On the wedding day, he was great with keeping us on time but also making it fun. I’m not the most photogenic person but Daniel told me exactly what to do and it felt effortless. He had a second photographer, Ben, who was amazing. He also made it so much fun and took great shots. Stan was our videographer who was wonderful. I gotta say all three were ninjas. They had a way of being there but never taking away from the moment. Daniel and his team are creative, professional, personable, reliable, and fun. So happy with our decision to go with them.

I found Daniel on IG. His photos stood out to me because they were breathtaking. Due to this and that he had photographed my venue, Union Trust, before I knew he would be great. He is super professional but also makes you feel very comfortable. His photos are stunning and he really makes you feel at ease during the whole day. Taking wedding photos can sometimes seem like a long process but he made it fun and was able to capture beautiful moments at the same time. Honestly we loved working with him and cannot wait for the rest of our photos.

6/09/2021 • Allyson K

Daniel is absolutely amazing! When looking for photographers, his pictures caught our eye because they were beautiful and the couples seemed genuinely engaged with each other rather than awkward and stiff. When actually working with him, I can see why. Daniel makes everyone feel completely comfortable while also keeping everything running on time. He is super fun to work with and his photos are wonderful.

Response from the Vendor on 06/09/2021

Thank you so much, Allyson!

Absolutely Amazing! We used Daniel Fugaciu as our photographer for our wedding at the Hotel Dupont and we were SO glad that we did! His talents are incredible and he delivered on everything that we asked for and more. He is extremely creative in getting unique and beautiful shots while also capturing candid shots of some of the most important moments. He even stayed an extra hour longer during our reception to ensure he captured as much of our day as possible. He truly went above and beyond - laying on the wet ground (it rained) for different shots, scoping out different areas in the city for us that would be ideal months beforehand, remaining available whenever we had a question or needed to get in touch with him before, during or after the wedding, etc - and it showed in the pictures we got back from him. I honestly cannot say enough about Daniel and his team. He was so prepared and ready the day-of that the picture taking portion of the day felt like it flew by and was fun and relaxed. He also sent us a few pictures back almost immediately after the wedding for a sneak peak and thank-you card purposes, with the rest of the pictures being available not too long thereafter. His pricing was also very reasonable and clearly explained beforehand. Both my husband and I cannot recommend Daniel enough and will definitely be using him again ourselves in the future. If you want great photographs of your wedding, or any other special events or moments, definitely go with him - you will not be disappointed!

Thank you so much, Ashley! I had a blast with you and Steven! Enjoy the album! :-) Daniel Fugaciu Photography

10/22/2019 • Katie P

Amazing can't even describe how perfect our experience with Daniel was. Not only are his images off the charts perfect, his process is like a well oiled machine. He has everything meticulously planned so that you do not have to worry about anything. He takes time to get to know the couple ahead of time to make sure he is getting the best responses out of you. And as if that wasn't all more than enough to make him the best ever, we had our images by the time we got back from our honeymoon. If you are looking for someone to perfectly capture your day for a lifetime of memories to share with future generations, look no further than Daniel Fugaciu. And seriously, just get the album - worth every penny and more.

I could not have asked for a better photographer! From the first email correspondence to the day of the wedding, working with Daniel was so incredibly easy, and he was always very responsive to any and all questions I had. During the wedding it seemed that he was everywhere at once and was able to capture amazing shots. He was also able to adapt to the fact that we had less than perfect weather for walking around in heels, and made the best of the ice on my wedding day, which he turned into a beautiful backdrop, without me having to walk too far on ice and slippery snow. Our engagement pictures and wedding pictures are absolutely stunning. I am so pleased with the work Daniel did and would recommend him to anyone.

05/27/2016 5.0 If I could give Daniel 100 stars, I would! You can tell he enjoys every minute of his job. He is professional, creative, and extremely personable. We had our engagement shoot on a freezing day and our wedding day was hot as hell, but Daniel made it all enjoyable and fun with his passionate work and fun personality. My advice to future brides is just leave it to Daniel and his experience to make you feel and look beautiful on your big day! That's one fewer thing to worry about! Your photographer will be by your side throughout the whole day, so you want someone who is not only a good photographer, but also someone you can enjoy spending time with. Someone who helps you relax on a very stressful day, and is passionate about making you feel and look your best. In my experience, Daniel is all of that. And last but not least, I want to thank Daniel's assistant, Senia, who was extremely helpful and kind to us during the whole process.

8/07/2015 • Kristen J

I have nothing but positive things to say about Daniel. He did an incredible job capturing our engagement photos and wedding day. He is professional and so easy to work with. My husband is not a big fan of getting pictures taken and he had a great time with Daniel! Daniel went above and beyond, he stayed several extra hours with no charge, and our pictures turned out great! It rained on our wedding day and you couldn't tell at all from our photos! He really captured the essence of us and our families. He is very easy to get along with and is flexible to your needs. I would definitely use Daniel again in the future!!

3/23/2015 • Veronica M

We had Daniel and his assistant Adriana photograph our wedding at The Crystal Tea Room 1/31/15 From the moment we met Daniel we felt immediately comfortable and trusted him completely. We did our engagement shoot with him, and despite the rainy cold weather, the pictures were great. The day of our wedding, they showed up on time (if not early) and were ready to go from the second they walked in. Daniel is easygoing and funny, and he also managed to keep us on our scheduled timeline. I was very unsure of timing for the day, but he helped me out tremendously with that. I'm also pretty sure he is the fastest person at replying to emails, and I barely remember seeing him throughout our ceremony/reception (He blends in well, while still managing to capture every moment).. Overall, we can't say enough good things about Daniel. Our pictures are AMAZING, he is a nice guy and he definitely knows what he is doing. I would definitely recommend him to any bride! Thank you Daniel!!! - Veronica & Daniel

Daniel was amazing. I can try to list the ways, professional, helpful, quick and efficient with his pictures, helped you take the shots you wanted, but they all pale in comparison to looking at his photos. His photos show the true class of his work, and they are stunning. If Daniel is still free on your wedding weekend, book him now before it's too late.

5/20/2014 • Fiona P

My daughter and I hired Daniel to be the photographer for her engagement and wedding pictures. She chose to have a small intimate wedding in a remote area in the mountains and Daniel set his pricing to match exactly what she needed. He was always available to talk about any concerns and planning needs. He went out his way the day of to help fill the shoes of other vendors that did not show up!! And on top of all that the pictures are AMAZING! I would highly recommend Daniel for any event.

5/08/2014 • Lori W

I'm absolutely in love with my photos. Out of the hundreds of photographers out there Daniel's work just jumped out at me. He works with the flow of the day not following some list of poses etc., and I loved every aspect of it. I highly recommend Daniel to any bride!

4/22/2014 • racstoke

Daniel really put us at ease and was wonderful to work with. He had many great ideas for unique photo poses, and made sure we looked our best. Daniel was punctual and always returns calls/emails quickly, and we got our wedding photos back in less than a week! The photos were gorgeous. He has a knack for capturing all the little looks and details that made our day special. It felt like we were having a friend snap pictures. At Daniel's prices, he was a steal. You definitely can't go wrong! Love, love, love our pics!

4/10/2014 • Amy S

I LOVED having Daniel as our wedding photographer! He was absolutely amazing to work with, and the pictures were incredible! He was extremely responsive and easy to coordinate with before the wedding. He was also very helpful in making sure that I got all of the pictures and everything that I wanted out of my photographer. He did an amazing job photographing all of the candid moments of our wedding, which really captured the overall feel, energy, love, and excitement that the whole day was filled with. I HIGHLY recommend Daniel!!

4/08/2014 • KSER13

Daniel was so fun on our wedding day! I would recommend his services to anyone in the Philadelphia area. We LOVE our photos and album!

4/04/2014 • Dana R

Daniel is such a talented photographer. We can't thank him enough for the incredible pictures he captured of our wedding day. The lighting and touch ups that he did made our wedding moments look spectacular! I did a lot of research to find the right photographer and Daniel was the one! I was so comfortable being around him and his pricing was perfect for what we wanted. He is really flexible and very responsive (even during his busy season!). I would highly recommend Daniel for anyone getting married in the northeast area!!!
