ring our wedding day would look like. We did an engagement session with him and he truly made us feel comfortable and had us laughing a bunch too! That same energy was brought on our wedding day as well. Even though our timeline was pretty tight due to venue time restrictions, Dan made sure we got all the shots we wanted and adapted so well to the day-of changes. He made sure we felt supported the entire time we were planning and caught every moment so well. We’re incredibly grateful for him, have already recommended him to other friends and family, and will probably reach out again for any other professional photography needs.

arboretum and really wanted our photographer to be familiar with the space and take advantage of the nature backdrop. We also wanted our photos to have a more candid vibe. Dan nailed it! He scouted the arboretum the day before and chose the perfect series of locations for our first look and portraits. He was super adaptable when we experienced ~all~ of the weather throughout the day, from bright sunshine to clouds to rain. We also appreciated how Dan made us a schedule for the day very early in our wedding planning process, and met several times with us to adjust it as our plans for the day took clearer form. It helped us to envision the day and plan out other logistics. We received our photos back about a month after our wedding — much sooner than we expected! We absolutely love them. Dan captured our day perfectly. We are so happy we got to work with him!

sure our pictures perfectly captured the joy of our wedding day. He also kept us laughing and made sure it never felt tedious. We would 10/10 work with him again. Please consider for any event, wedding, or family photography needs.

ra. Some of our favorite photos were the candids he took during the reception. Highly recommend!

were thrilled and blown away by our pictures and would hire him again in a heartbeat.

e. And his photos are absolutely stunning, we've already received so many compliments on them and we can't wait to hang them in our home! We couldn't recommend him enough :)

uldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend Dan for anyone looking for a talented, reliable photographer with a great eye for detail!

party even in the heat! He was sincerely interested in and put thought in every single photo he took. He was all over the dance floor at our reception making sure he captured all of the special moments. Although we have not seen our photos yet of course, I am sure they will be beautiful. We can't wait! I would highly recommend Dan to do your wedding photos. You won't be disappointed!

day went so smoothly. Our pictures turned out beautifully--with a good mix of gorgeous as well as candid shots to capture our special day! He was a pleasure to work with--very friendly and great at guiding us for poses and cracking jokes for really cute candids! Highly recommend!!

and really captured our day in an incredible and authentic way. We are so incredibly grateful for the experience Dan created for us and the way he was able to bring our personalities and the fun of the day to life through photo. Can not recommend him enough!!!

al photos were beautiful and Dan provided an easy to use gallery for all the shots. Highly recommend!

the planning he was super responsive and always happy to help answer questions. I really appreciate that he scouted our venue to find the perfect backgrounds for our photos. Day of he was great and made sure everything flowed smoothly. He made everyone feel super comfortable in front of the camera! The pictures turned out AMAZING — we got all the artistic, beautiful shots we dreamt of. I also loved the keepsake box of prints that we received. I would recommend Dan to anyone looking for a fantastic wedding photographer!

dding was very important. Entrusting someone with that responsibility is a big deal and a big decision! The way that Dan runs his business made me feel confident even before I got our wedding photos back that they would be the level of quality I'd hoped for. He was extraordinarily professional beforehand, making sure that we were all on the same page about exactly what we wanted and hoped for from our photos, and how the day would flow. He also has a great talent for working with family and friends, corralling them for photos and navigating the more delicate dynamics of a family with divorced parents and step-family members, which I truly appreciated. He even got a picture of my mom's side of the family, which had about 50 people or so, just siblings and first cousins. That's something my whole family will cherish and pass down forever. And THEN, after all that, we also got BEAUTIFUL photos! Dan truly captured the day how I envisioned it and how I experienced it, and that's a skill and a gift. I'm very grateful.

ding day! Our photographs turned out beautifully, his work speaks for itself, and I couldn’t be happier! From day one his communication was great and he even worked out a timeline early on so that I could loop all my other vendors in. The day of he was so good at directing and working with our families, he kept things moving along and everything went smoothly. He went above and beyond for us (from scouting out our shooting locations beforehand, getting our first look orchestrated, sending us our photos in a beautiful box, etc) and was just so thoughtful in every way! We were so blessed to have found him and wholeheartedly recommend him! Thank you Dan!!

rangle our 3 dogs for an hour for our engagement photos. He's the best!

was blown away by his talent and professionalism. From the moment Dan arrived, he immediately put everyone at ease with his friendly demeanor and calming presence. Throughout the day, Dan worked tirelessly to capture every precious moment, from the getting ready shots to the final dance of the night. His attention to detail was unparalleled, and he was constantly finding creative and unique ways to capture the beauty of the day. But what really stood out to me about Dan was his ability to truly capture the essence of my husband’s and my love for one another. The photos were not only stunning, but they also perfectly captured our emotions and joy of the day. It was clear that Dan truly cared about making sure we had memories to cherish for a lifetime. Overall, I cannot recommend Dan enough. He is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but he is also a pleasure to work with. If you want stunning, authentic photos that perfectly capture the essence of your wedding day, Dan is the perfect choice.

s create our timeline and understood what we were looking for. I appreciate that he went out and scouted our location and had an idea of what would shoot well on the day off. He was thoughtful and friendly and a great addition to our wedding day team. The pictures he captured were amazing and really brought the day to life. He captured our personalities and brought out our best! The lighting and framing were also beautiful. The candids from the reception are also really fun and Dan did a great job blending into the dance floor. I am so happy that I took a friend's recommendation to use DMP Family Life and would recommend the company without reservations!

rked with our budget and our vision for the day and he nailed everything!

gement photo session as well, and that experience confirmed for us that we made the right decision choosing him as our wedding photographer. My husband and I are admittedly not the most comfortable with getting professional pictures taken, but Dan makes it easy and got us both to feel very comfortable. We haven't gotten our wedding pictures back yet (it has not even been a month) but we absolutely cannot wait because we know how incredible Daniel's work is! If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further.

from the beginning! Dan was communicative leading up to the wedding and amazing the day of. He was patient with me even when I got cranky from hunger. I can’t say enough good things about his work AND his personality. I hope we have the opportunity to work with him again for something!

edding by far! Dan is the most patience and kind person you’ll ever meet and he has a very calming and warm personality so you’ll never even stress during your wedding day photos. Dan is a dedicated and talented photographer that I would recommend to any of my friends and family. He is engaged and passionate about what he does and kept us laughing the whole time. Dan was the first vendor we saw in the morning for photos and the last vendor we said goodbye to at the end of the night - we wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! Thank you Dan for making our wedding day so special and for all your support leading up to our big day!

d to what we wanted out of our photos. We got every shot we wanted and more! His style is perfect for what we wanted- classic, modern, and artistic all combined into one. I love how his photos aren't super saturated like other photographers we looked into. His portfolio is a great representation of his work. My husband and I and our loved ones were the focus of the photos, and the venue background only enhanced the moment. He also took gorgeous detail shots for groom and bridal prep, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception flowers and displays. We highly recommend booking him and his second shooter if you can. They captured every special moment! Everyone is blown away by the quality and detail of our photos. Thank you Dan.

ption pictures! We fully recommend Dan and his team for any couple in Philadelphia who is looking for a modern, super experienced and easy to work with professional photographer!!

o what we wanted. At the wedding he made us comfortable and made us laugh, yet also allowed us to enjoy our day uninterrupted! The picture delivery was uncomplicated and all our guests were able to access them easily! (He even did all of this for us on his birthday!) Would absolutely recommend for any event!

rson! Dan was very punctual, full of energy, professional, and very creative in his approach. My wife and I felt at ease with his guidance, and he always made us feel like the stars of the show! It was our first time ever doing professional photos, and Dan made it the best time. The work Dan provides is priceless, we couldn’t be happier with how our engagement + wedding photos turned out! The details are immaculate, and we are blessed to have had Dan as our photographer to capture these lifelong memories. We will certainly be working with Dan again for all of our future milestones. Consider us life-long customers after this amazing experience!

ctures so easy. I am not one that likes to pose for photos much and he made myself and my husband so comfortable. He even cracks jokes throughout the day! Our pictures were gorgeous - we also loved that he went around to tables and got posed photos of our guests at the reception. Thank you again Dan!

ne call, he was so thorough with details and had great suggestions. From the beginning, I already knew we’d be in good hands. I booked him about a year in advance but if I had any questions, he always responded to me in a timely manner. Dan is a true professional and extremely down to earth. My husband and I can be shy with pictures but he made the entire process fun and easy. He captured timeless and beautiful memories that we are thankful to have forever. We opted in to hire an assistant for our 8 hour package and we couldn’t be more happy with our choice. Chris was extremely helpful with handling the equipment and anything else Dan needed help with. Truly worth the add-on!! Even though our wedding has come and pass, we will be reaching out to Dan in the future for family portraits!! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Dan for being a part of one of the most important nights of our life and for capturing the most beautiful pictures. Highly recommend DMPFamilyLife!

ure and organize our day that made us feel incredibly at ease. Not only was he a breeze to work with, but he captured extremely beautiful pictures of us on the most important day of our lives together. If you are looking for a photographer in the Philadelphia area, we would highly recommend connecting with Dan!

wedding to discuss the ideas I had and the main shots I wanted to get. He listened to everything I said, but also gave so much helpful feedback and suggestions. Dan went to the church and reception venue the week before the wedding to scout out good back drops for the photos. On our wedding day it poured rain, but that didn’t matter; he was still able to come up with creative indoor and outdoor shots to work around the weather. He did such a good job at directing and posing us. Besides posed shots, he got some incredible candid photos as well. The quality of the photos is amazing, and you wouldn’t even know it rained because he edited the lighting so beautifully to make them look nice and bright. I was also extremely happy with the amount of photos we got; there were so many and it was the perfect mix of posed and candid shots. Overall, Dan made it such a fun and stress-free experience. We laughed and had fun the whole time. I will cherish these photos forever!

n away by how AMAZING the photos turned out. Dan is also an incredibly warm, kind, gentle, and fun person and it was truly so wonderful having him with us on such a special day. We plan to have Dan photograph all of our big moments throughout the rest of our lives!

duce the best quality pictures. We loved our pictures and we highly recommend him.

emailed me back quickly without hesitation and was always so helpful. He assisted with making and also kept us on top of the timeline the day of the wedding and made everything run so smoothly! He told us how to pose, when to fix my hair etc which I am so grateful for! Our first look location didn't end up working out and Dan quickly found an alternative that was even better than the original. Love him!!

ing photos turned out fabulous! My husband and I will treasure them for the rest our our lives. The photos were back to us weeks before the timeline in our contract, which was a really nice surprise! Dan is a really nice guy and we genuinely enjoyed his company on our special day. We highly recommended dmpfamilylife!

etailed, remembering everything we mentioned during our very first meeting. He was kind and extremely patient throughout the entire day. He was there early and took photos of and things we never even would have thought of. He did his job with such ease, making everything so unforgettable. He was was able to capture the heartwarming moments along with the funny ones. Every photo turned out absolutely beautiful. We could not recommend Dan more! He made our entire day so memorable and magical!

hotographer, we were referred to dmpfamilylife from a friend that had used him. We was well priced and went above and beyond. Prior to the wedding we had phone conversations, exchanged emails and he even came onsite to check out ideas of what types of locations we should use for the day of the wedding. For the day of event, he showed up EARLY (yes, not on time but actually early) he was very punctual and we even got to take more photo options than we talked about. He was open to any ideas that we had and he was really great. During the ceremony and reception the mother of the bride mentioned that he was so great, and didn't even feel like he was there. He did great at taking candids on the dance floor and got a lot of great photography. We highly recommend!!

re evident throughout the process, and his input (including the timeline, suggested photo locations, and shot list) was invaluable. He answered every email promptly and was impressively thorough, going through each question point by point. In addition, Dan is flexible with his packages and will work with you in adding or subtracting hours based on your needs. He made even the most introverted of introverts comfortable in front of the camera - which is no easy feat. In fact, our friends and family were so impressed not just with the photos but with their personal interactions with him on the day. We especially loved the artistic shots he took during our portraits both in the morning and in the afternoon. Our favorite photos were the City Hall pass throughs (especially the silhouette under the archway) and the "secret garden" spot on the side of the Art Museum. The photos were processed quickly and efficiently without sacrificing quality. Dan makes photos available via online gallery, mobile app gallery, and a USB that comes beautifully packaged in a keepsake box with some complimentary 4x6 prints - such a lovely touch! We are so happy to have worked with Dan!

step of the way looking at potential dates, changing dates and supporting us. He was flexible and always happy to help. When we finally got our day, Dan captured it beautifully! He was awesome to work with and told the story of our day better than we could have ever imagined.

ly members wedding and we’ve loved the finished products each time. Dan has a great attention to detail and has a great eye for finding the perfect locations for photos and the perfect way to pose us. We especially loved having him for our wedding a few months ago as he was such a calming presence for me and my husband but also made the environment light and fun and kept the wedding party laughing. He also worked great in conjunction with our videographer. We love Dan and hope to use him again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!
