Danto Photography

our first location be on campus. His angles and the way he plays with shadows truly demonstrate his willingness to think outside the box. Our actual wedding pictures turned out amazing! We were located off the marina in Redondo Beach. He was very instructive and helped guide our wedding party through the many shots. He was so efficient that we actually had free time before the ceremony! He checked in to make sure everything was to our liking and demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism. We received our wedding photos about 4 weeks after our wedding! Thank you Joel and Richard for your help and creativity!

I loved, and it came out perfect. He is very friendly, easy to work with, and extremely talented. His prices are very fair and I definitely recommend him.

e so happy we chose Danto Photography!

d, and they made sure they got every single shot! On the day of- both photographers were professional and fun to work with. Also- the delivery of the photos were prompt and came out beautiful!

ement ceremony and both sides were very very happy with the pictures. EVERY SHOT was amazing, not just one or two. Great guy, fun to work with, and an eye for detail. I'm super super picky, and I couldn't have picked someone better myself. Unlike other photographers, Joel provided us with all different types of shots, portraits: artististic details, documentary style. I RECOMMEND JOEL WITHOUT HESISTATION, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!! THANK YOU, JOEL! -Kiran & Novy

ed up on time on the big day and did an amazing job. There are no negative things to say. We are very happy that we chose Danto Photography.

of my daughter's Bat Mitzvah, Joel had 10 awesome photos for us to post on social media. Within 24 hours of the event, he had another selection from the party we had for us to either post or email to friends and family. I love how he succeeds in never being seen, but always getting the shot- even the one I didn't know existed. He somehow captures the soul of the event and the person.

business. One look at his portfolio will tell you everything you need to know: he simply captures perfect moments. We didn't want "traditional" photos (although Joel is more than happy to accommodate those, as well). His shots feel cinematic and can tell a whole story. He is also calming, talented, and so much fun to be around. He is a true artist and booking him as our photographer for both our engagement shoot and our wedding was the best decision.

kes everything that much easier. Our wedding pictures perfectly captured the magic that was felt throughout our fairy tale inspired wedding. The attention to detail, the patience with working with a large family it was all I could've asked for. Both Joel and the second photographer were absolutely phenomenal. They blended into the crowd and just captured all the right moments. We will most definitely hire Danto photography again for other family portraits later on down the road. It was the perfect mix of classic with a twist if modern and I loved it!

reative, and easy to work with.

y pictures came out. Im so happy that I found Joel! Erika

the photos came out beautifully and we have had so many wonderful compliments. We are very grateful to Joel for helping to make our celebration a dream come true!!!

an't stop looking at them! Anyone would be lucky to have him as their photographer, he is the best!

d shooter on our wedding day was just as easy to work with as he was. He even took the time to go to our wedding venue on his own to scope out the best locations for shooting so we weren't wasting precious time on our actual day. We had so many beautiful memories captured that day thanks to Danto Photography and would definitely recommend this vendor to others.

he way our photos came out. I am so happy with them & so happy that I chose him to capture these precious moments. Thank you Joel!!! Erika

amazing, we can't wait for the final product! Thanks again Joel for making our wedding day one we'll remember forever!

agement shots and wedding. During both sessions Joel really was on the lookout for any special shots. Looking more at our photos you can see he has a keen eye for taking those special photos. We have recommended him to many friends who are taking the next step to marriage.

Joel caught so many magical moments and did it effortlessly. Not only is he easy to work with, but he brings a beautiful aesthetic to his photos.

reach and replied to me almost immediately. He was an hour early for our engagement session and wedding day. By the time we were ready to take pictures, he had already scouted the perfect location for a beautiful photo. We would highly recommend him to future brides and grooms.

rise for a wonderful Saturday morning! Richard and I both LOVE LOVE LOVE the pictures!! Like Ohmgosh, when I saw the pictures I literally leaped for joy! It's wonderful! It's perfect! It's simply amazing! Again, you've done your magic! I was almost feeling emotional seeing all the pictures! It was one of the happiest days of my life and if I may say "The best day EVER". I am utterly grateful that we chose you to capture these important and happy memories of our lives. And again, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU SO MUCH! You have no idea how excited and happy I am to share these pictures to the whole world! Everyone keeps saying how good the pictures are and keep asking me who was my photographer and how I found you! haha If only I could take you with me to Philippines and be my photographer for my second wedding in Cebu, Philippines, I would! You are not just a photographer but a great story teller! You do not just capture pictures because it's your job but you were able to portray happy stories behind the pictures! You were able to capture the celebration of our love for each other! And everyone seem so happy and I love it! Everything was so perfect and you went beyond expectations! Words aren't enough to express my gratitude to you! Again, thank you so much! I really love the pictures! "

his photos are jaw-dropping beautiful - I love every shot he took! Not only is he talented, though, his calm demeanor always helped to put me at rest. I was not an easy client to deal with, but he always reassured me and calmed me down. I was able to enjoy my wedding knowing that Joel was there to capture all the special moments! HIGHLY recommend!

out his photos and he captures beautiful and genuine moments! He is very responsive, which is very important to any bride! Once we did our engagement photos with him and saw the results, we knew he would do a fantastic job with our wedding photos and indeed he did! We were blown away with the quality and emotions that he captured in the photos that day! Joel is simply amazing and any bride would be lucky to have him as their wedding photographer!

I'm not very photogenic and smiling for an extended period of time while a camera is clicking away feels a bit awkward.. so I'm always nervous at how special photos are going to turn out. Safe to say, we're thrilled with our photos!!! This isn't the first time I've work with Danto Photography. My company has hired him for several projects and I've been so impressed by his work that I hired him to shoot for me personally. So glad I did! He's very professional, has great pricing, excellent response time, and we received our proofs faster than expected. 5 stars all around!

tures. He made us feel comfortable, guiding us through the process, but also allowing us to be ourselves and bring in our silly sides as well. We could not be happier with how wonderful our pictures have turned out. We highly recommend him to help capture your special memories.

. However, Joel was able to help us relax and take some amazing photographs.

e date of the shoot and answered any questions that my fiance and I had. He had endless ideas during the shoot and made us feel very comfortable. He was also amazing with the speed at which he edited and returned our photos. We enjoyed our experience with Joel.

has the picture shots! We had the funnest engagement session with him. He made it a great experience and one to remember! He doesnt just take pictures, he captures moments to the point that all my friends and family said how much love they can feel in my pictures. When my fiance and I received our pictures, we were blown away! We kept thinking to ourselves that if our engagement photos are going to be this amazing, what are our wedding photos going to be like? They are just too perfect!!I think I have looked at my pictures 1000 times since he has sent them. You are getting top quality pictures and working with an amazing photographer for an affordable price. I think my shoot with Joel made me 10x more excited for the wedding. I highly would recommend him to anyone looking for outstanding photography for there engagement and wedding. You will not be disappointed!

mily and friends are obsessed with the pictures we posted on Facebook, and we get compliments on them from total strangers. Of all of the vendors we worked with for our wedding, Joel was the most responsive and most flexible, arrived early to scout locations, and overall it was a pleasure to work with him. His packages are affordable, and ours included free engagement photos and a second photographer at the wedding (who was also excellent). I would recommend Joel to anyone.

d, gentle to work with, and has a natural ability to put clients at ease. I've been lucky enough to shoot with him more than once and every time they've come out looking like something a higher priced photographer would create...PLUS the images that he took are the ones I use for all my default social media profiles. He is truly a genius and a really, really cool dude!

talented and creative photographer for any event. Joel is extremely skilled and professional, and at the same time relaxed, fun and personable. He helped me feel totally comfortable in front of the camera and contributed many helpful suggestions for experimenting with different settings, angles, lighting and poses. Joel really has an eye for composing exceptionally beautiful and artistic photos. While there is a strong sense of vision to his work, he also has a collaborative spirit and I truly felt like we were working together to create the photos rather than merely being the subject. Working with Joel was so much fun and yielded more amazing photos than I could have hoped. I would recommend Danto Photography to anyone and have no doubt that they would be more than pleased with his beautiful photography.

his Joel and his work enough to our family and friends! Thank you Danto Photography :)

ht and happiest moments and that is everything that you would want on ANY of your special days! Joel made everyone at the reception(s) comfortable and was never right in your face. Joel was part of the party, rather than stealing the attention away trying to get your photo taken. I really was impressed with Danto Photography and will be using them for all my future occasions, I won't make the mistake of using another photography vendor ever again! Thank you Danto Photography for capturing our best moments!

cal "wedding package" and the associated costs. I shared this sentiment with several photographers who just came back with their typical wedding package. Joel heard what I wanted and offered a terrific solution that didn't cost thousands. The pictures look great, exactly what I was hoping for. Everyone commented on how great they thought Joel just ‘fit in’ to the event. He caught some great candid shots that we can share with our family. We were looking at all the pictures last night and my husband thought Joel provided us with some great Christmas presents that we can give this year :-).

s, lol). Our engagement session was perfect, he was fun to work with and really made an effort to capture our personalities and our relationship, so we had complete confidence going into the wedding that he would do a great job. I especially loved how he photographed the wedding with a mix of different styles, so we got all the classic photos plus some beautiful artistic ones and some quirky ones and some awesome candids. Whenever I look at them it reminds me of how much fun we all had! And everyone I've shown them to raves about how beautiful and unique they are. We couldn't be happier!
