Images By Daniel Michael

that it was in the right amount shade. He brought a team with him who helped the flow of the day, and made it as smooth as possible.

t of the limo, carried my flowers, helped bustle my dress, got me a straw for my water, fixed a loose strand of hair. They were so professional and great with directing us on how/where to stand. Received our pictures almost exactly 4 weeks after the wedding and every single photo was great. I am so happy with how they turned out!

ed, plus amazing pictures that we didn't expect. My husband and I are definitely not models, but they made sure we were comfortable and laughing through the day.

e day so perfectly. It was great having Terri, the assistant there to fix my hair, blot my face, hand me a drink of water and fix my dress throughout the photos. The journalist photographer and photographer in training also captured some great photos! The team was all great and easy to get along with. We all had a fun day and I can’t wait to see the rest of our photos!

(it's only been 2 weeks since the wedding) and I must say, what we have at this point -- well, just stunning!!! I am so eager and excited to see the entire photo album and to share them on my own website and social media! I hope I have an opportunity to work with Images by Daniel Michael again! From Lori, Planner/Coordinator, TLC Events & Weddings

s. I can’t wait for the future will definitely be returning for capturing many more amazing memories with them.

super fun to work with as well!!! Highly recommend Images for all your pictures needs!!!!

We first booked with Johnny and had our incredible engagement photos taken. He was fun and easy to work with! Our wedding was pushed due to COVID, the DM team made it a simple and easy process to reschedule our date. Due to scheduling issues, we rebooked with Don for the day of. Don is full of energy and creative spirit, and was a BLAST to work with for our wedding! He has covered lots of wedding in the Bell Event Center, so he knew exactly where the best locations and angles were for beautiful photographs. In addition to the main photographer, DM sends a 2nd photographer and a bridal assistant to ensure the day runs smoothly. I was relaxed knowing that the DM team had everything handled. I HIGHLY recommend Don and Images by Daniel Michael to be your wedding photographer!

robot. My pictures turned out classy and timeless. I’ve been told these pictures need to be in a magazine. I highly recommend her for any photography work needed but especially Boudoir!

wish was our photographer and he was amazing. We received so many compliments on our engagement photos. The day of our wedding, which was October 24, 2020 he and his staff was part of the reason that our day went so smoothly. They kept us to our timeline, they engaged with the wedding party, and made everyone feel comfortable. They were there helping every step of the way and captured every moment perfectly. Our pictures look like they could be in a magazine. I could not have asked for a better group on our wedding day.

n was always available to calm my stress! Him and his crew were great the day of and I'm now I'm completely OBSESSED with how my photos turned out (wedding and engagement)!! If it were up to me I would print them and hang them in every spot of my house because they are so perfect!

tudio. Daniel was so easy to talk to and really helped us understand the art of photography before we even got into talking about booking, which made me feel more comfortable about what we were paying for. We decided to book Don for our big day. I mean, his portfolio of photos was fantastic, so i was not worried about our photos, but I was still floored (in the best way possible) by what we received. We had several artistic shots showcasing our venue, as well as all of the family and candid shots we were looking for. Don took time to figure out our style and what we liked/wanted from our wedding photos. He is so talented! We had several family members and wedding guests ask about who took our photos. They really were amazing! I absolutely loved ever photo he took. The only problem you will have is deciding which photos you want to display! cannot recommend Images by Daniel Michael enough! Thank you Daniel, Don, and the amazing photography teams and assistants for capturing our most precious memories!

d easy to work with.The assistants they assigned for our wedding did an amazing job as well. They were very accommodating. They were super creative with the shots they did. Our wedding guests had a great time taking photos with them as well. If you want a stress-free wedding HIRE THEM! Will definitely recommend them and use them for any future photo-shoots that my family and I need. Thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect!! -Kimberly & CJ Holcomb

many of whom we ended up also booking. We could tell Daniel was not only well experienced in the wedding industry, but also had a true passion for his work. The studio was always responsive to any questions we had and accommodated meetings effortlessly, even letting us have our initial meeting virtually. We were lucky enough to have Daniel himself as our photographer on the wedding day, and he brought along a troupe of girls who took the more candid shots and also fixed my train and held my flowers and my husbands cowboy hat between photos. They were a fun team to work with, always had a smile on their face (even while dredging through fields full of grasshoppers in the July heat), and even offered touching words to me right before I walked down the aisle. They were true gems. Daniel has a mastery on getting all the shots needed, provided us with a time line to structure our day, and he took only one or two photos of each pose (after ensuring the lighting/exposure were correct) before moving on to the next shot. Our family was impressed by how he orchestrated the family shots, making each person feel special. We got our preview pictures the week after the wedding, and were shocked to receive our full portfolio the following week. The images are stunning, and we're so glad we were able to just live in the moment on our wedding day, and trust Daniel to capture the pictures to help make our memories last a lifetime.

as our lead photographer because the pictures we loved hanging in the studio were his - we loved his style and his personality. Johnny did our engagement pictures in April 2019 and they were amazing. We really hit it off and knew we'd picked the perfect photographer. Johnny made us laugh, captured every single moment, and helped capture the most amazing thing about us - our connection and our love. As we continued wedding planning, Johnny kept in touch. When COVID hit, we did virtual meetings to get our style and what images we wanted and everything. He did this all while his wife was 8-9 months pregnant - so much dedication! Johnny was even able to move with us from our original May 30 date to our new July 25 date. I knew if we could keep Johnny, I could find other vendors if needed. I just wanted to keep him! Johnny brought his crew with him to the wedding. They swarm you like paparazzi and it's odd but super fun! The hotel went from quiet and empty to swarming with people and flashes. I literally felt like JLo (and I had on huge fake lashes so I definitely felt like her!). I smiled from the time I got up until the time I went to bed - and Johnny was there capturing every moment he could. Rachel was on Johnny's team. She carried my train everywhere. She laid it out flawlessly. She kept me hydrated! Rachel even fixed every one of our necklaces if they were crooked or the hook was showing. She would literally stop Johnny from taking his shot, fix us, and let him resume. She was amazing! We got pictures back in 10 days. TEN DAYS! It was fantastic! We got back over 900 photos that we can go through and use for whatever we want. We've even sent the link to family and friends who all call and tell us "Your photographer was amazing. I don't know how much you paid but he was worth it." And I totally agree. Johnny and everyone we've worked with at Images by Daniel Michael have been amazing. I recommend this studio without question or hesitation. If you want the best photos and the best team, splurge on the photography teams at Images by Daniel Michael. They will not disappoint!

s. Johnny Darwish was enjoyable to work with and brought a sense of humor, lightheartedness, knowledge and lots of smiles. It’s clear he’s passionate about what he does and executes it well. Our engagement session was accompanied by high winds, however Johnny was happy to schedule another session for us later on in the spring. He wanted us to have some good photos we could hang up in our home as memories. Even shortly after becoming a new first time dad, he managed to still be with us on our wedding day and capture some amazing memories we’ll have forever. His entire team was awesome in capturing our day and so very helpful with my dress and veil all day and helping make us and our bridal party look on point! We’re so happy we decided to go with Images by Daniel Michael Photography and Johnny Darwish as our master photographer. We’ve only seen a sneak peek of our wedding day, but are excited to see the rest. Thank you Daniel Michael, Johnny and your team for being a part of our special day and capturing moments and memories that will be with us a lifetime.

hen you choose a business for a service, you really don’t know whether it’s a good decision until after the event. You look back on the event and how things went, and then you ask yourself… would I choose this company again for the same service? In the case of Images by Daniel Michael, the answer is absolutely YES! Daniel and his staff were all extremely professional, but also very approachable. But what made our event flow was that Daniel and staff were very experienced in how to keep things moving, while also coming up with some unique and amazing settings for photos. Every appointment was on time, every time we met with Daniel and his staff they impressed us with how seasoned they were, and also how much fun it would be to have them there on our special day. Daniel chooses his staff and you can see his influence is why this company has such great employees. If we had to do it all over again, we would pick Images by Daniel Michael!

niel blew away our expectations and clearly outdid himself. The best part? It didn’t feel like we were taking hundreds of photos. Daniel kept things fresh, which kept us relaxed, kept our smiles natural and led to some amazing photos. Daniel, Rick, Rachel, and Kelly were exactly what we needed on our wedding day. Daniel knew our timeline and kept us on schedule all day. Rick did a fantastic job of blending in, which gave him the ability to get true candid photos. Rachel was my “mirror” and made sure my veil, jewelry, flowers, and train were all perfectly placed for every photo. (Who knew a necklace could shift so much from photo to photo?!) Kelly was my second mirror and kept me hydrated all day (a thankless but much needed job). Also, we can’t forget Linda and Johnny. They were both very responsive to all of my questions, which I greatly appreciated since we were planning an Ohio wedding while living in Texas. Daniel and team, we cannot thank you enough! Our experience was top-notch and led to photos we will cherish for years to come. We can’t wait to find an excuse to have more photos taken!

ddition to an assistant who is there to help the bride or anyone one in the bridal party who may need something in an emergency. I relied on his assistant to carry my dress at times or my flowers to take the work off of my matron of honor. They were professional and never got in the way but always managed to be in the right spot for a perfect photograph. Daniel and his team are passionate about their work and it shows. The final photos were returned quickly and you are able to print without buying them through him, although you can if you want. I cannot say enough about his work. Add him and Tim with McFadden Music and you have the perfect match!!!!

hole team kept us going on time, snagged every image possible, and were so much fun to work with. I have recommended them to every engaged friend I have and just cannot speak highly enough of them!

what picky picture preferences, and graciously obliged with flexibility! Our wedding was at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and even when we cut our 230 person guest list to just immediate family and closest friends, the company was still happy to have the team come for our wedding day. Our wedding day team was Johnny as the main photographer, with owner Dan as the secondary shooter, and I don’t remember the name of the third helper person or the trainee. Having the 3 person team was fantastic. Johnny did a great job taking charge and directing everyone, as well as setting up great shots and getting people to laugh. So far all I’ve seen are the sneak peak photos and I love them all already. Dan did a great job stepping back and letting Johnny take charge, and being a fun presence during the day, as well as taking some fantastic photos. The helpers were also phenomenal - making sure my train was properly adjusted for all the photos, and helping me carry the train through the park so things wouldn’t get muddy and dirty after it rained. They all did a great job making sure things were sanitary with the pandemic going on, and making sure to keep a good distance whenever possible, and directing our poses with voices instead of hands. Johnny and the team did such a great job! It was such a comfort to know we had such an awesome team that was there for us during uncertain times. 100% would recommend over and over again. Pick them, you won’t regret it!

have fun. Johnny is so personable and our friends and family loved him. He made us feel at ease and made sure to get all our photo stops in our schedule. Lauren and Tiffany were so much fun and even saved the day when I needed help with my dress! Thank you Johnny and team for spending your day with us! It really was the best day ever!!!

our wedding. Johnny was always early with getting all our photos to us and he took a great variety. We really couldn’t be happier with how everything came out. It was also refreshing to work with a vendor that was on top of things and always checking in.

ur event to the personal level. He is in it 100%. On the top of the great customer services skills he posses, His pictures are amazing! The whole office treated me well from the beginning to end, starting by the owner Michael. Their prices are really reasonable compared to seniority level, quality and all they do for you. Not to mention delivery time: none will bit Don who delivered all my pictures in 2 weeks!

l assistant turned out to be something we did not think of but was extremely helpful throughout the whole day. She was willing to carry my veil and train so it didn’t get dirty while taking photos outside and placed my dress for each pose. Johnny was very helpful throughout our planning process; he helped us to determine our timeline for the day, find locations to take photos, and plan shots. He has a great personality making him very easy and comfortable to work with! We are very pleased with our pictures and highly recommend working with Johnny and the team from Daniel Michael Photography.

ver once felt rushed. A lot of people warned us that the day will “fly by” and you will feel like you missed things, but we truly felt like we were able to enjoy each and every moment thanks to Don! At first, we were afraid that Images by Daniel Michael was out of our price range. Typically the top rated photographer in the area is going to charge outrageous prices for weddings, but after talking with Daniel at a bridal expo, I decided to meet with him at the studio to go over pricing. He took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for and after going over our options and we were surprised to find out that they were absolutely within our budget! After receiving our pictures, we couldn’t believe the quality, creativity, and amount of pictures we received. Don showed up while we were getting ready and stayed well into our reception, capturing so many fun pictures of our guests as well as a couple of shots of us standing outside in the rain that we love! From the very first meeting to the night of the wedding, the communication from Images by Daniel Michael and Don was prompt and informative, which is exactly what we needed. Everyone says that the photographer is the main thing you need to splurge on for your wedding, and that’s completely true, but not just for the photos. You want someone to take charge, be well organized, and have endless creative ideas so that you are not stressed, rushed, or disappointed with the pictures. If you have Don as your photographer, you will never have to worry about any of those things. Everyone at Images by Daniel Michael is so kind and passionate about what they do. They will go above and beyond your expectations on your big day and take the time to get to know you. Don met with us beforehand and ended up giving us an awesome restaurant recommendation (that we've gone to twice now) when he found out we were fellow foodies. Lauren spent 40 minutes on the phone, countless emails back and forth, and extra time in person helping me with a gift idea. And Daniel showed up to our reception towards the end of the night just to say hello and took a picture of us with Don. We are forever grateful that we chose Images by Daniel Michael for our wedding. Thank you, thank you, thank you for capturing our story! We absolutely love our photos!

, after all, these pictures are going to last a lifetime and give those that weren’t there a glimpse into what the wedding was really like. So nerve wracking! Well, the moment I met Don, all of my worries and doubts flew out the window! He is the most patient, kind, and hilarious photographer I’ve ever encountered! What a relief! Let me just add, he captured our wedding even better than I could have envisioned myself. I thought I knew what the pictures and moments would look like. Um no... I was so wrong! He surprised us with the most beautiful, artistic, romantic pictures that I’ve ever seen for a wedding. Our friends and families were floored! I flooded Facebook with pictures because I had to boast about how wonderfully talented he is! He has such a unique vision. He also kept the wedding party entertained with his jokes! He had us all laughing and made the time pass so quick! He kept things perfectly on track and knew exactly what to do at every moment. I also loved that he arrived with his team 20 mins earlier than expected! Allyson was so helpful with holding my dress and giving me hand warmers to keep me from freezing! I’ve had so many people from the wedding party compliment Don’s professionalism and easy going personality. He was perfect in every way! Thank you a million times over for making our wedding day so stress free and special!

pecial day. Daniel took the time the week prior to the wedding for a meeting to discuss exactly what we were wanting and and if we had any special requests. He listened to each item that we said and had no problem making changes when needed. He asked us what we wanted to capture the most with our wedding, and he did a fantastic job with with what we had wanted. I would highly highly recommend Daniel Michael for your wedding!

and fun as we were allowed to be ourselves as Don captured who we were. This was the perfect introduction to how our wedding day was going to be! Having created the timeline with Don prior to the wedding, I was able to relax and focus on the most important things of the day, like spending time with family, friends, and loved ones. Having both Don and Brian present was wonderful since there were multiple perspectives captured throughout the event. Allyson was a wonderful help as 5 minutes before walking down the aisle, my maid of honor accidentally stepped on and ripped my dress. Allyson had a sewing kit and got me ready for the long walk. When we got our photos back, we were beyond happy to see how the details of the day were captured so perfectly. The group photos were bright, the ones of my husband and I were stunning, and the ones from when we snuck away for a shot with the groomsmen were priceless. Images by Daniel Michael were worth every penny and we will absolutely recommend them to all of our friends and family.

e and willing to work with us through every step of the way! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful photographer! If I had to do it all again Daniel Michael and Team would be my first choice again and again! Worth every penny!

ding wedding photos!

nnot thank Dan enough for being our photographer, not to mention Jenna being my bridal assistant. Jenna....you rocked it. Thank you for holding my dress and handing me a Kleenex when I thought I didn’t need one, but let’s be honest, I needed one lol Our day ran so smoothly to where we even had enough time to have a lot of pictures of just Cody and I. If you aren’t sure which photography business to go with, seriously, look no further. You get your moneys worth! Thank you guys so much for everything!

so talented! You can tell she is going to be one of the great ones. Amber and Dede and were amazingly awesome also. The whole team made the day feel at ease. We had such a great time with them and glad they were apart of our day. We loved all of our pictures and we’ll cherish them forever. We’re glad we chose Daniel Michael Photography. By far our favorite vendor. 5 Stars hands down.

r funny pose we wanted was captured. The day of, the whole party had a blast with our photos, and we now have pictures we'll cherish for a lifetime. I would absolutely recommend this team for your wedding photos! A huge thanks to Daniel, Lauren and the rest of the crew!

beautiful! I’m so excited to get our wedding pictures and I’m so glad Images by Daniel Michael were the photographers I trusted with my photographs!

AMAZING!

ing the first time I saw them!!! We had the chance to work with Don, Johnny, and Rachel, and I swear it felt like Daniel hand picked this team specifically for us! The team seamlessly meshed with our personalities, so our entire day (even the super posed pictures) felt completely natural to us! They have a unique skill of really making you feel like you are the only couple in the world that matters, and that is just irreplaceable on your special day. If you want creative, stunning, artsy, pinterest-worthy, or insta-worthy photos, Daniel Michael has the perfect photographers for you!

make your day stress free! Don is so talented and did such a fantastic job. We knew we found the right photographer when he laid in the snow and barked at our dog during our engagement session to get her attention. I really do not have the words to express jut how stress-free and great the entire experience was.

ery important to us, and we had prioritized it to be able to spend a little more. The pictures truly speak for themselves. Working with Daniel, you can just tell he knows what he is doing and can direct a crowd. We were told that it would take 6-8 weeks to get our photos, but we got them less than 3 weeks after the wedding. We are truly so happy with the photos, the experience, and the professionalism from the whole team. Thanks to Daniel for capturing our special day so perfectly!!

t Sharon Woods with our photographer, Samantha. Both the setting and her demeanor made us feel completely at ease and natural. On the day of the wedding, Sam and the rest of the team were there bright and early to capture many special moments during the getting ready process for the guys and girls. We were able to give her a list of must have photos related to our love story, including photos with our bridal party in the classroom where we met at Xavier University. Kasey, the second shooter, was up for all sorts of shenanigans on the party bus going to the reception as well. The bridal party and parents were thrilled with Jenna, the assistant, for her awesome Mary Poppins-esque bag of supplies and her train placements! At our reception, both Sam and Kasey captured the fun party vibe throughout the night. They checked in to see if we wanted any additional photos based on the flow of the party. Without their insights, we would have missed out on some great memories. Everyone we have shared the photos with comments on how great the photos turned out and the speed with which they arrived. We had over 800 pictures sent to us about 2 weeks after our wedding and are having a hard time narrowing down ones for our album.

as unable to make the wedding, said that the pictures allowed her to feel like she was there. Dan is professional and kept things running smoothly. His team was great and I appreciated the help with my dress! The pictures are such high quality and between the wedding photos and candid pictures we are blown away about the amount of moments that were captured. Thank you so much!

ectations. We had Johnny as our photographer. I cannot say enough amazing things about him. Our personalities clicked, which is always helpful in this experience and his work definitely speaks for itself. He was also quick to respond and answer all of my annoying questions. It was so helpful to meet and do an engagement session months before the wedding day. We got to know each other and become more comfortable getting our photos taken. On the day of the wedding, Johnny was so organized and relaxed, which helps with everything else that goes on that day. One of my favorite parts of using this company was getting a second photographer on the day of the wedding and an assistant. This allowed us, as a bridal party, to not worry about posing my dress, if an emergency arose, they took care of it, etc. Thank you for making our special day even more special and capturing it all in incredible photos!

e attention to detail and exquisite photography took us by surprise. Daniel Michael was the first and only photographer we met with for our wedding and from our initial meeting, we knew he was perfect for our day. Daniel Michael's studio lays out everything for you plain and simple. Daniel's personality fit perfectly with our bridal group! The bridal assistant was something that I didn't know I needed, but am SO thankful he provided! She was there to hold my dress while walking between photos, "fluffed" my dress for pictures, held phones and other items during pictures, among other amazing things. Daniel Michael's crew truly goes above and beyond to ensure that your day is running smoothly and you have everything you needed. If I could give his crew more than 5 stars, there would be no question in my mind. Daniel works fast, yet can provide the most artistic photos! We are so happy with our choice of Images by Daniel Michael!!!

or us, she was laid back, funny and most of all an amazing photographer. I gave her a list of all the shots that I wanted the day of our wedding and she made sure that all of them happened. The staff Meggie brought along with her were also incredible, Logan the second photographer and Michelle the assistant were amazing! These ladies went out of their way to be helpful to me that day, even helping with bustling my dress! I enjoyed the day so much more because Meggie and her team were there. At the end of the day it was as though I was spending the day with my friends who also happened to have amazing photography skills. Daniel Michael Photography was recommended to me by several of my friends and I will continue to recommend this group to everyone I know. By far my favorite vendor of the day and we can seriously not wait to see our photos. Thank you so much for making our wedding day one we will never forget ❤️

othly during the day of the wedding and got all of the photos we wanted. He even shared 77 professional photos only 4 days after the wedding! I feel very grateful for this team - weddings can be stressful, but picking professional vendors make the day that much easier. Thank you Johnny, Logan and Dede - you helped make our wedding day amazing!

r because we felt at the end of the day, the photos are what you have left! We chose the right photographer for our wedding. We hired Don Schvart and his artwork cannot be compared. Don knew exactly what he was doing and had every minute timed and led my party and the day with ease, so we did not have to stress about a thing! He was so nice, funny, and captured our day perfectly. Trust me when I say this studio will take care of you, they are worth visiting. Let them tell you about all the ways in which they will support your day with their incredible photographers. Your wedding photos will look like works of art that are ready for you to print and hang on the walls and send in cards. I have several hanging up and I am a scrapbooker so once I finish my album, I will treasure it forever. Thank you, Don and Daniel Michael for making our day unforgettable!! You have earned our service for future events as well.

A huge thank you to Lauren and everyone at Images by Daniel Michael. My husband and I highly recommend these amazing photographers!

ur friends and family love our wedding pics. "YAY" We're so happy!

hoot and he made sure we got some special shots with him, spring grove cemetery made for a beautiful backdrop! Having “Dee Dee” aka mom make sure that the whole bridal party and I were always looking top notch for the big day was so helpful and I couldn’t imagine her not being there to make sure every hair was in place! Alyson helped capture some beautiful candid photos of me and my girls and Bob on the big day! Johnny had beautiful ideas that made for absolutely stunning photos that Bob and I will cherish forever! We felt totally at ease during every step of the big day and can’t wait to print and frame our photos! We are sad the big day is over but so happy we have these beautiful pictures to remember the day by!

vides amazing photos and lots of laughs. On a day when you are surrounded by love ones and it’s nice to have a team you can connect with behind the camera. My fiancé and I were so worried about being awkward and stiff with a photographer and getting out of our comfort zone but as soon as we had our engagement shoot, all those worries went out the door and we were ready for our big day. The creativity, personalization, and professionalism can’t be beat. Every detail of the day was beautifully captured. We hired a photographer but ended up with a friend. Thank you to Daniel Michael and fantastic team for making our big day, perfect.

g! I promise you will be very satisfied if choosing them to be your wedding photographer!

hilarious, and loud (a VERY useful skill for weddings, especially with our crazy families), not to mention an incredibly talented photographer. I also have to give her props for dealing with, let's say, some "extra opinionated" family members of ours with ease prior to the wedding. During our meeting closer to the wedding, she asked about specific and/or special rituals that we were going to do to ensure that she got pictures of everything we wanted. Honestly, she thought of some ideas for pictures that we hadn't even considered. We also decided to look for a videographer the week before the wedding (gotta love that indecisiveness), and she gave us the perfect suggestions of vendors to ask for our day. The day of the wedding her team was on time and "on it" the second that they arrived. Even while we were getting ready, they captured some pictures that we will treasure forever--namely, the youngest bridesmaid drinking a popped bottle of champagne on one knee :) They had a perfect blend of interacting with us to make us laugh and put us at ease, but also being able to "blend in" and capture moments that were private and intimate. Our wedding ran a little late (not at all having to do with photography), but Lauren and her team were speedy and ready to go at all times. The bridal assistant was a godsend during pictures to make sure that the dress was laying the correct way, and she literally had everything you'd ever want in her to go bag. At one point, Lauren and her team noticed that there was a double rainbow, and they whisked us outside to take a few perfect shots before we walked down the aisle. Her whole team was absolutely perfect, and they managed to take a boatload of perfect pictures, despite having to spend hours with our crazy families! Lauren posted a quick "sneak peek" of pictures from our day, and they are so incredibly beautiful! We have looked through them so many times already, and we have received so many compliments on them. We can't wait to see the rest of the pictures. Lauren, we couldn't have done our day without you! You ROCK!

so I could focus on enjoying my wedding day. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future.

ped in to do this ourselves, and had a chance to meet with Daniel. His friendly and joyful personality allowed us to develop an instant rapport. After getting to know him and his team a bit better we happily signed a contract and left, knowing we made a great decision. Our engagement photo shoot was nothing short of perfect – it was an absolute blast and we enjoyed working with Daniel to create some unforgettable memories and photographs (some of which are framed and hanging in our house now), but I want to write about our wedding here as that’s the experience that matters most. It has been two weeks since Daniel Michael and his team shot our wedding, and my wife and I are still over the moon with their performance. His team consisted of Don (photojournalist extraordinaire) and Jenna (best bridal assistant ever). Both the quality and quantity of shots we received are unparalleled—we haven’t found a single photo we are unhappy with. Daniel and Don are not just experts in capturing moments through photos – their shot selection and subtle edits perfectly accentuate everyone’s exuberance throughout the night; when we look at our photos, we “feel” the excitement and emotion of the evening even more than we “see” a perfect picture. They used an unexpected and impressive amount of creativity to highlight the fun and quirkiness of our venue (The Oscar Event Center) throughout the night to create some truly fun and unexpected memories as well. The entire team performed as consummate professionals, and were incredibly accommodating and personable. Before the wedding even started, they felt like our good friends rather than an outside team! They smoothly navigated all situations or challenges that arose, everything from unruly fraternity brothers to rambunctious ringbearers, to capture hilarious and tender moments alike. I can’t tell you how excited I am to share these photos with everyone who came! What I found most impressive throughout the evening is the team’s attention to detail. They are more like a personal entourage than a photography team, and had an uncanny eye for the little things– moving a finger to highlight a bouquet better, turning a ring so it shines brighter in the light, straightening a necklace, twisting an earring straight. My mother raved about them after the wedding, saying “I’ve never had photographers tell me to hold my hand differently to highlight my jewelry.” In short, my wife and I felt like we were royalty throughout the entire evening. Jenna, in particular, was an amazing personal assistant for my wife. She eyed every tiny detail before each shot, adjusting little things here and there to make the image flawless. Here’s an example of commitment to detail: She opened her Tackle Box of Emergency Tools to expertly trim a small flaw out of my wife’s veil before she walked down the aisle. My wife still smiles every time she thinks about this white-glove treatment—You can imagine how happy that makes me! We are thrilled that we chose Daniel Michael to capture the best night of our lives. He and his crew soared past all expectations we had for any photography team—these are the best photographs my wife and I could ever ask for, and we will cherish them forever.

timately, we didn't like any of those photos enough to print and only one was worth sharing on social media. I wish I would have spoken up and done a city session but I don't think there was time. The wedding day was pure chaos. Thankfully Mark and his team kept us on task and didn't add to the craziness going on but instead helped calm me at times. They moved through the motions as I would expect a photographer to do and took all the appropriate photos - ring, dress, shoes, groom/groomsmen getting a toast while getting ready, etc. Unfortunately, again, I didn't really like any of the photos. Over half were awkward half smiles captioned right before or after the moment needed. And to me, none were worth printing. I'm only docking 2 stars because I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt - maybe it was more my fault - I should have allowed more time for photos. Or I should have given more direction in the preparation meeting. I should have lowered my expectations and not have expected a "wow" photo.... I don't know. The day flies by in a blur and having good candid and beautiful photos with the ones you love are forever. I was so upset with the photos that I simply gave the thumb drive to parents and in-laws, told them to save what they wanted but not to share on social media. I'd still recommend Daniel Michael Images to a friend but I would tell them to double the photo time and/or share ample pictures on Pinterest and check in during the day to make sure you get them....

edee was our bridal assistant and she was so helpful and attentive Lauren is friendly and wonderful to work with. Even though it was raining, so we were limited to indoors, she did a great job finding spots around the venue to use. We have beautiful photos that we love and have received so many compliments. Thanks so much!

more pleased. We shot out "engagement photos" just a few days before the wedding and had a blast! He was incredibly personable and easy to get to know. On the day of the wedding, Johnny and his team (Casey and Allison) were amazing. They were professional, attentive, and caring. They kept the entire bridal party at ease and on time. We very much appreciated Johnny as an artist and a person. All we did was give him the information he needed to know, and he did the rest. He went above and beyond. He allowed us to enjoy the wedding day because we were confident that he would take care of everything, and he did!

t disappoint. Our wedding pictures turned out beautiful and we are so happy with them. Dan did an amazing job and was so easy to work with. He and his team are so fun, which made the day even more enjoyable (especially since a lot of time is spent with the photographer). Dan was organized and made sure we had all the pictures we wanted. He did a great job getting all types of pictures captured – traditional, artistic, and candid. He also did a good job blending the style of photos of what we want with his style. It is really nice that you get a photographer, photo journalist, and wedding assistant. We knew everything from our day would be captured. Overall, we are so happy with our pictures and highly recommend Dan and his team.

d be able to experience the moment. 10/10 would recommend again, I will definitely come back for baby photos and any other major family moment for years to come!

up of folks I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. This team is all about not only providing you will physical memories of your special day in the form of gorgeous photographs, but also making sure you feel comfortable and well taken care of in the moment as well. My husband and I were married on September 8th, 2018. We were hoping for an outdoor wedding, but rainfall stemming from coastal hurricane weather made that impossible. Daniel didn’t see this as a limitation, however. He used it to his advantage to give us what I see as our pinnacle photo of the night, and my personal favorite. His creative use of lighting and immense talent in his craft turned a damp situation into a highlight of the night. If you’re looking for a professional wedding photographer who will not only provide you with beautiful, heartfelt photographs of your wedding night, but a good laugh and a weight off your shoulders, look no further than Daniel Michael and his crew. Thank you so much! Love, Danielle and Garrett

he success of our day. Both of our families commented on how efficient family photos were, and our photos were given to us in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Dan and his team for any couple!

wedding day, he took charge and we had zero worries that every single shot we wanted was going to be taken. We've seen a preview of the pictures and they are even more amazing than we ever imagined possible--Johnny has a real gift. Lauren kept us laughing from the moment she arrived and bridal assistant Deedee (there are no words to describe how invaluable she was in our day) anticipated the entire wedding party's every need--we actually enjoyed taking pictures in below freezing temps because of this team. From the beginning, the whole team felt like good friends sharing in our day and we could not have enjoyed working with them any more than we did :)

o know their clients so they can capture the best pictures they can! I used Lauren and she was absolutely fantastic! She has a very outgoing personality that fit right in with my wedding party! She wasn’t just a photographer she was part of the wedding! I can not wait to get all the pictures back I have no doubt in my mind they will all be fantastic! You will not be disappointed if you choose them for your photographer!

ur engagement shoot and even better on our wedding day. She controlled the craziness that comes with photos and her two assistants were spectacular. We are so thrilled with how the photos came out but more importantly the experience we had with Meggie was tremendous. We have recommended her to friends and we already have asked her to do more photos for us in the future!

laxed and made sure that we had a blast throughout the photo shoot and in the end our pictures turned out better than we could’ve imagined! For our wedding, we had Johnny, Meggie (2nd shooter), and Rachel (assistant). Johnny and Rachel worked together so seamlessly bouncing one idea after the other off of each other to create the most gorgeous photos. Rachel was ready with anything we could’ve ever needed and then some. She helped make sure everything ran smoothly. The entire day Johnny and the team kept us at ease ensuring that everything ran ahead of schedule. They were professional but kept the atmosphere relaxed and had so much fun with my husband and I and our entire bridal party. Our photos are absolutely stunning, I can’t stop looking at them and sharing them with our friends and family.
