Daniel Schechner Photography

Absolute Excellence - Book Daniel Now! Daniel was responsive to our inquiries, easy to work with, and (most importantly) the best photographer we could have asked for. His work is exceptional and a joy to look at. We couldn't be happier and have just relived our special day while looking through the photos he took. Thank you so much for everything you did and for capturing everything so beautifully. I read a ton of reviews and met with other photographers, Daniel should be your choice too!

Incredibly Talented Photographer! Daniel was absolutely amazing. We are so happy with the photos he took of our wedding. He was everywhere at once and never in the way. He captured all the right moments. He takes amazing portraits and candid photos. He is so kind and easy to work with. I highly recommend Daniel for your wedding photographer!

Truly Magical! Daniel went above and beyond to capture our engagement shoot and wedding. He made us feel comfortable and focused on documenting us in our most candid moments. In addition to this he was always responsive, timely and willing to talk through any concerns we had. We would highly recommend Daniel and we look forward to working with him again in the future!

Professional with a personal touch! Daniel and his brother Yonatan gave us a stellar experience. From the moment we connected (a year in advance of our September wedding) Daniel was so professional, calming and kind. He continued to be incredibly competent, thorough and of course extremely talented. We cannot recommended his services highly enough- imagine a vendor who takes your wedding stress away!!! Thank you Daniel

Daniel is simply fantastic! Flexible, creative, professional, and attuned to the couple's wishes. He went with the flow from our "engagement" shoot to the big day. And the sneak peeks he sent the very next day are beautiful! Highly recommend him for your big event.

Perfection! We could not be happier with Daniel as an integral part of our wedding. We had an extremely small gathering, so it was all the more impressive how natural Daniel’s presence was. The images he created for us were beautiful, natural and authentic.

Daniel was great! My partner is not as comfortable getting pictures taken as I am so doing the engagement shoot was really helpful. Daniel made us feel so comfortable and it was great having an opportunity to get to know him before our wedding. Daniel is true to his description that he is more laid back and does a great job in capturing the moment compared to more posed shots. He really blended with our event and with our guests. We had rain on our day and he did a great job helping us adjust on the fly. He was also very receptive to our COVID precautions and wore a mask during the entire event. We got our pictures about 6 weeks after our wedding. We LOVED our pictures and felt like he really captured some beautiful moments from our day.

We were looking for a photographer who would beautifully capture the spirit of our wedding day without a lot of posed photos. Daniel's portfolio immediately caught our attention, and in the end we are so glad that we hired him. Neither I nor my husband are particularly comfortable in front of a camera, so we opted to do an engagement shoot with Daniel ahead of our wedding; he made two camera-shy people feel immediately comfortable and at ease, and was so flexible and helpful when our initial shoot location didn't work out due to inclement weather. At our wedding, Daniel was a friendly and unobtrusive presence. He moved around the venue to make sure every moment was captured, grabbed the right people at the right time for our shot list, and never made us feel like there was a camera in anyone's face throughout the night. After both the engagement shoot and the wedding, he very thoughtfully sent us a handful of quickly-edited (but still incredible) photos so we could have a preview to get excited about. We just received all our photos and are blown away: he captured the wedding exactly the way we wanted him to, perfectly and beautifully evoking the spirit of the day. We are so grateful that we got to work with Daniel and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!

Gorgeous pictures! Daniel is an amazing photographer whose relaxed and low key personality was a wonderful fit with our wedding. He was timely and the pictures were gorgeous!!! He met us exactly where we needed him to with our comfort with being in the spotlight and he captured some amazing photos and moments. We cannot thank him enough!!!!

Daniel was awesome! He was easy to work with and accommodated all of our requests. He was very professional and knocked out the large photo list we gave him quickly. He also captured so many amazing candid moments. He was extremely helpful, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We received the photos within 2 months and they are all gorgeous. Thank you for helping us capture our big day Daniel! Steph Daniel was so easy to work with, and provided us with such great shots of our special day. We got all the shots we wanted, and he was so prompt with delivery. The preview photos he provided the very next day were so good, and the rest of the photos that followed are so great. These memories Daniel helped capture of my wife and I, our family, our friends, make us so happy. He did such a great job. I'd highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the VT area. Ian

Fantastic! Daniel was everything we were looking for. Friendly, accommodating, affordable and utterly talented! We are so pleased with our wedding day pictures and would recommend his services to anyone who needs a photographer. His second shooter, Lillian, was also a joy. If you're in the central VT area, don't hesitate to reach out to him and see if he's available for your date!!

A gifted artist and absolute pleasure to work with! Daniel was exactly who we were looking for for our engagement and wedding photos. We wanted someone to capture the action rather than stage it, and that is exactly what he did. He captured the joy and relaxed(ish?) energy of the day even while it was rainy and gray outside. I often don't love the way I look in pictures, but dang he made us look good! He was professional, flexible, and fun to work with, too.

Daniel was a perfect addition to the wedding! He captured all the right moments, and was so easy to work with. He was exactly what you want in a photographer — able to blend in while still being in the center of it all. If you’re looking for a photographer to capture the essence of your wedding, hire Daniel!

Top Notch Photographer. Daniel is an incredibly talented photographer and was a genuine pleasure to work with. My wife and I are so happy with our wedding photos and would recommend Daniel in a heartbeat. His creativity and ability to improvise really shined when a rainstorm forced us to scramble and find an indoor location to take some family portraits. Somehow in a narrow, cramped hallway of the inn, Daniel was able to create some really stunning images. They are among my favorites of the entire wedding day. Daniel did a great job of regularly checking in with us to make sure that he was getting all the shots that we wanted, while also fading into the background to capture some great fly-on-the-wall candid moments. He has a great eye. From start to finish, communication with Daniel was very easy. He was always quick to respond to a question, and his friendly and laid back personality was most welcome on a busy, chaotic day. The photos look great and we were pleasantly surprised when he delivered the final images to us about a month after our wedding, MUCH faster than expected. We can't recommend him highly enough.

Wonderful and Candid. Daniel was amazing! His work is so warm and real, it makes me and my loved ones relive the the big day all over again! The colours are so visually beautiful. Simple, elegant, and high quality photos. He took so many pictures, candid and posed. He had a very extensive questionnaire to help him and us figure out everything we wanted to capture and what kind of atmosphere it was going to be. It took around a little less than 2 months to get our photos back which is normal. He came dressed accordingly and was very sweet the whole day. I didn't notice any cosmetic touch ups on my photos, so that could be a pro or con to different people. But having them not 'altered' makes it look and feel so much more organic. And I can fix a few blemishes on my own, lol. I am very glad I chose Daniel, and I would choose him again!

Wonderful Photographer and Experience. This is the second time we've worked with Daniel and we look forward to working with him again on our wedding day. If his professionalism and expertise are any indication of the quality he'll bring to our day, then the one thing we won't have to worry about at all are the moments he'll capture. He is a wonderful photographer who simultaneously makes you feel at ease while snapping beautiful images.

Everything we wanted. I don't even know where to start, Daniel was just amazing. He is so friendly, and personable, and we really felt just so comfortable around him. He perfectly captured the candid beauty of our day, and when we look at our wedding pictures we feel like he really caught us, and who we are. I cannot say enough good things about Daniel and what an incredible job he did, I would recommend him to anyone.

Daniel's images captured exactly what we were looking for. They were a perfect blend of candid moments, combined with great group shots. His perspective and artistic eye added a unique touch that we really liked.

Highly recommend Daniel!! Daniel is an extremely talented photographer. He is also very professional and made everyone feel at ease during the most intimate moments. He holds a rare combination of technical, artistic, professional, and hospitality skills, making everyone feel comfortable while creating incredibly memorable work. Daniel was amazingly stealthy during the ceremony and we did not notice him at all, however he got extraordinary shots of exactly what we wanted. We were drawn to Daniel's work because of his raw and true lifestyle portfolio, hoping he would capture our wedding frankly and honestly and he delivered exactly that, at a great value and with sincere professionalism. We highly recommend Daniel's work!

Professional, down-to-earth, talented artist. We are so thrilled that we hired Daniel to be our wedding photographer! From the intro phone call through the delivery of our photos (earlier than expected), Daniel exceeded our expectations and was such a pleasure to work with. He was friendly and responsive throughout all of our communications leading up to our wedding, and helpful and flexible on the day of. He even sent us a small selection of photos the day after so we could get a sneak peak, which was the best! When we got to see the full set of our photos, we were completely blown away by all the beautiful moments he captured. I can't recommend more highly- you need to hire Daniel for your wedding!

Captured our day perfectly! Daniel was so flexible and and captured our day perfectly! He worked with our budget and made our special day incredible! I will be recommending Daniel to ALL my friends!

We feel so lucky that Daniel was available to capture such a meaningful moment in our lives. He was open and engaging from start to finish and met our level of excitement from the moment he arrived:) Not only is he approachable and down to earth, but his work absolutely speaks for itself. What we loved most about his portfolio was his ability to tell a story...we wanted to capture the occasion with an artistic statement and he 100% delivered. Can’t wait to work with him again in the future!

Daniel is friendly and comfortable to shoot with. His work has a raw, real feel to it, yet presents itself as crisp, bold, and composed. My partner and I cherish the photos Danial has captured of us. He seems to catch the moments that really show us our best versions of ourselves. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Daniel is one of the most talented and easy to work with photographers in the Burlington area. He’s flexible, kind, creative, and has a million and one concepts to throw into a shoot. If you book with Daniel, you will find that he truly captures a glimpse of how two people view each other. He captures true love at its finest.

Amazing photographer. Daniel was the photographer at our wedding, from the moment he arrived and until he left he was professional, courteous and efficient. We are both camera shy but Daniel made us feel comfortable right from the beginning. Daniel’s pictures reflected us beautifully. his photographs are simply amazing and and we are so glad we chose him!!! Thank you Daniel for taking part in our special day!

Great Photographer With An Artist's Eye. We met Daniel when our original photographer had to back out. She introduced us to him and he very graciously, three months before the wedding, offered to do the job. We were very excited to work with Daniel because his portfolio had the style of photography we were looking for. We wanted a photographer with an artistic eye and who could take candid pictures that told a story of the day, as opposed to standard, posed photos. After we received the pictures, numerous family members and friends gushed over how much laughter and personality was captured, which is why we can't stop looking at them! He has a great eye. He also took a LOT of pictures and was very flexible with whatever we asked of him. We would definitely recommend him to others, especially if they're looking for a photographer with an artist's eye and flare.

Daniel is our hero! My husband and I found ourselves in a huge pinch just weeks before our wedding when our original photography plan fell through, and Daniel became the heroic solution! We connected with Daniel via a friend's recommendation, and from our first conversation we knew he was the perfect human to capture our day. He was incredibly responsive and really strove to meet us where we were at financially, which is huge for any young couple. He captured so many candid, emotion filled moments that it's been a challenge trying to determine which shots are our favorites. If you are looking for someone who is down-to-earth and takes the time to really hear your photographic vision then Daniel is your person. We can't recommend him more, and we expect you'll have nothing but praises if you work with him! :)

Beautiful photos and great experience! Taking engagement photos can be super weird but Daniel made it a fun and comfortable experience. We had a great time at the shoot and Daniel had a quick turn around with the photos (which were gorgeous). 10 out of 10 recommend.

Awesome Wedding Video! Daniel is awesome! He worked with our budget and made an extra effort to discuss what we wanted out of our wedding video and what he could do to help capture our day. The result was incredible and we love it. Highly recommend Daniel for photography or videography. He's a fun guy to have at your wedding too!

Absolutely Perfect! We just got our video back from Daniel and WOW. I've watched it on repeat. He did the PERFECT job of summarizing our day with captivating shots, special moments and wonderful music. I know that my husband and I will watch this for years and years to come. I was blown away by his artistic approach and thoughtful composition. If you're on the fence about a videographer (I was too) - DON'T BE. You will not regret it. Daniel was a wonderful human to have around on our big day, as he was calm and blended right in to the festivities.

Nothing but praise! Daniel was our top choice, we couldn't imagine anyone else capturing our big day. I'm a professional photographer, I even do weddings, so selecting the right artist came down to many little details and personality was huge for us. Daniel was kind and considerate to our needs but more impressively the needs of our guests were of equal importance to him. He was able to juggle our huge wedding party and create a warm and candid collection of day's the best moments. I think his work speaks for itself. He has range and is able to adjust on the fly depending on your taste. My wife and I had fun with the portrait session before the reception and he quickly picked up on our taste as we shot and found the right positions. Daniel legitimately cares about telling your story, a quality lacking in most event photographers trying to make fast cash. We felt taken care of from start to finish. His collection was delivered within a reasonable timeframe with accurate expectations set in advance. All of our family adored the photos and felt well captured. We had a dozen or more guests praising our photographer for his friendly vibes and overall welcoming presence. When you invite a photographer into such an emotional and special event, they should feel like an extension of family, or an old friend. Daniel manages to insert himself into new crowds and make friends right away. It was an absolute pleasure working with him and we've already come back for holiday portraits–I suggest you stop your search and give Daniel a call.
