Sometimes in life you aren't sure if the reviews are over hyped but in this case - they are not! Daniel is THE BEST. Planning a wedding can be stressful and overwhelming and he made the entire photography process from planning to execution comp...
letely seamless. He was communicative and easy to work with when we planned but where he really shined was on the day of the wedding. He was so kind and gentle and immediately made us feel relaxed and at ease. He somehow was able to capture everything without his presence being felt at all. He captured the most stunning candid shots and we are in love with every single one! Can't stop looking through our amazing album. Thank you Daniel!!

Awwww, this one really made me smile huge. Thanks so, so much for having me out to shoot!!
We had the pleasure of working with Daniel as our wedding photographer, and we are absolutely thrilled with the way our photos turned out! Daniel’s artistic eye tells the authentic story of our wedding day. When looking at our wedding photos, w...
e are transported back to those beautiful moments, and the emotions they evoke are priceless – the photos capture exactly what nostalgia truly means.
Throughout the day, Daniel’s calm and unobtrusive presence made us feel at ease, and he was communicative, dedicated, flexible, and easy-going which were also a huge plus.
We can't thank Daniel enough for his exceptional work. If you're looking for a photographer who will capture your special day with skill and an artistic touch, Daniel is the one to go to. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
We can't say enough great things about Daniel. He's professional, kind, easy to work with, laid back, and takes GORGEOUS photos! He captured our wedding beautifully and put us as ease throughout the event with his quiet confidence, flexibility,...
and affable personality! After our mini engagement shoot, we invited him out to drinks because he was just that lovely to hang out with... we are thrilled with the results of our wedding gallery and are having significant difficulty choosing which ones to print and frame!! Daniel, we love you. Let us know next time you're in LA!

Oh this one made me very very happy! You two are so tasteful in everything you do and I was incredibly lucky to have been picked to document all of this for you. So glad you enjoyed the images and I can't wait to share more from this one on my ...
soon to be updated website! Thanks so much and I'll 100% take you up on an LA hang very very soon this summer.
Any questions?
Daniel was wonderful to work with for our engagement & wedding shoots in San Diego. Our wedding was an Indian Mexican affair so a bit different than his other weddings but he welcomed the challenge and gave us such beautiful memories to treasu...
re for a long time! When I was doing my wedding photographer search, Daniel's style appealed to me for it's artistic moodier takes and but also it was important for us to have a warm & down-to-earth personality and Daniel is so easygoing to work with.
Looking back to our wedding day, we had such a wonderful time & the only time I noticed Daniel explicitly was during our family photos - that was a bit chaotic, as family is, but he seemed unfazed and gently carried on which was great. During the rest of the day, as someone else described, Daniel was around but without being in the way - it was natural and we trusted him to capture the details I think that contributed to the great moments he shared with us from both our ceremony & dance floor.
In terms of logistics, he was super easy to communicate with and open to any of our suggestions - for example, after our engagement shoot we realized we need a tad bit more guidance and candid is harder than it looks :) and Daniel was fully onboard and guided us when it came time for the wedding. My recommendation would be to share any of your key things you want captured with him but if you dont, you are also in great hands. I would highly recommend Daniel and Indigo West.
Simone is absolutely amazing, he is detail oriented and skillful about leading us to do different poses with different sceneries perfectly. All the pictures turned out so great and we are very happy that we picked Indigowest to capture our favo...
rite day. I would highly recommend Indigowest if you have a good taste :)
Daniel is an ARTIST. He was able to capture the moments of our wedding in such a beautiful and unique way. He is both technically and artistically talented with the camera bringing a film-like aesthetic, which feels timeless. When I was doing...
my wedding photographer search (which by the way took nearly a full day searching through all the photographers in Phoenix), Daniel's style took out from the rest. He has mastered the art of photography through his vision and storytelling through his photo's. In addition, he was easy to communicate with and ensured everything is absolutely perfect for your big day. I would highly recommend Indio West Photography!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Daniel for the most beautiful engagement photos! Completely above and beyond our expectations - he captured the moment in such a lovely, natural and artistic way. Our pictures are full of light, movement and emo...
tion, very tasteful and candid shots. Professional, helpful, very easy to work with throughout and accommodating. Highly recommend, only wish we could have him shoot our wedding too! Thank you again Daniel!
Daniel was an absolute pleasure to have as our photographer, both for our engagement and wedding pictures. You could tell he was enjoying himself even as he carefully crafted shots and scenes throughout the day for us. The best photographers ar...
e around but not in the way, and that sums up how Daniel was throughout the night. He came up to us after the wedding and was genuinely stoked about how wonderful the lighting was in our venue. Let me tell you that our venue was dark and moody, and certainly not easy to work with. But that’s what made Daniel a must-have for us. He didn’t just adapt to it - he owned it and had some fun in the process. His aesthetic and talent matched perfectly to what we were looking for.
Response from the Vendor on 02/25/2023
This one made my heart full!! It is always humbling when other artists hire me to capture their wedding. Especially Los Angeles artists, as I know they really do have a lot of options. I'm so happy my pictures and overall approach resonated wi...
th you guys. Not only did I enjoy working with you, but discovered a super cool place in the process. Had neve been to the Natural History Museum and now I can't stop raving about it. Thanks so much!
We booked Daniel to photograph our engagement and wedding and were incredibly impressed with his work. In our search for our photographer, Daniel’s work immediately stood out to us as our #1 choice against the rest. Upon browsing his portfolio,...
my husband and I were brought to tears by his attention to detail and his natural ability to capture such raw, emotional moments.
When it came to the wedding day, Daniel had a very calm, cool, and collected attitude which help alleviate the day-of stress for me. He ensured that all requested photos were taken and at the right time. Lastly, we received our pictures back waaay earlier than expected, which came as a nice holiday surprise to share with our friends and families. We were so thrilled to be able to have Daniel shoot both our engagement and wedding photos. In addition to his natural talent, his passion shines through in his photography. Anyone would be lucky to have him!
Daniel of Indigo West Photography is seriously the best wedding photographer! Starting with our engagement session, he was so professional, kind, calm, and collected, making us feel at ease even when we were a little nervous. At our wedding he ...
beautifully captured all of the important moments (and more!!) but we didn't feel like we were always being followed around by a camera. It was the perfect balance and we absolutely loved both the formal and candid photos. He also rolled with the punches when we were running a bit behind schedule :) We got our photos when promised and we could not be happier! Daniel we are so grateful for you!
Indigo West was an absolute delight to work with! Leading up to our ceremony Daniel was professional and meticulously communicated with us about shot lists and the aesthetic we wanted for our special day. The day of our wedding Daniel and his ...
partner helped my wife and me feel at ease (neither of us are used to being in front of the camera) and candid. We just got our photos back and we were truly thrilled with how they turned out. The energy, the love, and the overall feel of the day were captured perfectly. Thank you for everything, Indigo West! We will cherish these photographs forever.
Daniel is an incredibly talented photographer and was so easy to work with. We had both our engagement photos and wedding photos done by Indigo West and they turned out stunning. He was super professional, responsive and timely. He even got us...
our engagement photos to us in less than a week since he knew we would be using them to send our invitations. He also went above and beyond in staying longer than the 8 hrs of service requested so he could shoot the final send off.
Aside marrying my husband, photography was the MOST important aspect of the wedding that we knew we could not cut a single corner on and I cannot express how amazing Daniel was. He is incredibly talented a and wedding pictures were more than I ...
could have dreamed. My husband and I are not the type that like the highly edited, fine art type of photos - we wanted natural, candid moments that would make us really relive the moments we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Daniel did our engagement and wedding photos - I highly recommended booking both as the engagement shoot was a great way to know Daniel and get comfortable in front of a camera especially if it was your first time like ours! I 100% recommend Daniel, you won't regret it!
What can we say about dear Daniel! We could not be happier with our wedding photographs. His aesthetic was exactly what we were looking for! His photographs Captured the essence of us as a couple, and he had a keen eye for catching the small, f...
leeting moments that could’ve been so easily missed. If I could give more than five stars I would! He was also great at directing us in terms of timeline to ensure we got all the pictures we were hoping for on our shot list. Daniel has been kind, thoughtful, and communicative through the whole process. We hope to work with you again soon Daniel!

Thank you so so so much! Reading this felt amazing and made my day :)
Daniel did such an amazing job shooting our wedding! We are so happy with the photos. They capture the day perfectly, and have a great atmosphere and slightly dreamy/"artsy" feel without looking overly filtered.
I was a little nervous about f...
eeling awkward during couples photos, but Daniel made us feel totally at ease, and did a great job of recommending poses. He got all of the posed/family photos done super efficiently, which was great! For the candid photos, he did such a great job of blending in that I don't even remember seeing him taking most of them!
Daniel was also super professional and easy to communicate with, both leading up to our wedding and on the big day. Highly recommend!
Indigo West and Daniel is an engaging and friendly option for engagement photos! He took incredible pictures for our engagement and we’ve booked him for our wedding in November! He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and in all of o...
ur communications. 10/10.
Highly, highly recommend Indigo West. If you are looking for a photographer with a unique style and fantastic eye then i would book with Daniel. Working with Daniel was so easy and his communication leading up to the wedding was great making su...
re he knew any expectations I had. He made us both feel so comfortable day of when he was doing our photos, it was easy to act natural and he has such a great eye for capturing the key candid moments, not just of us but of our guests as well. His editing style captured the mood of our day as well. Everything about working with him was fun and easy. He was so stealth during the ceremony and captured amazing angles and all the important moments. I can't say enough how pleased I was with using Indigo West for our wedding photographer. You won't be disappointed.
Copied from an email to Daniel that sums up our experience well:
"WOW WOW WOW!!! We are absolutely in LOVE with the pictures you created! I'm not sure how we are going to be able to choose our favorites because we simply like them all. You are ...
amazing and we are so happy we decided to work with you on our special day.
It's so funny to me because I don't really remember seeing you at all on our wedding day (except the family pictures) yet there are pictures from the ENTIRE night with various angles, you must be a ninja! We are still confused how you were in so many places at once during the ceremony :) Prior to the wedding, I was worried having one person I didn't know at the wedding would be noticeable and I would focus on the camera, but you blended so well into the crowd and made all of the guests and myself feel extremely comfortable.
We cannot express enough how happy we are with our pictures. You captured our personalities as well as our souls. I am able to relive the entire day and remember the rollercoaster of emotions just by flipping through the gallery."

rom our wedding (both party and guests) loved him. He did a great job of keeping up with my wife and I on our special day and capturing those little moments, we were surprised and brought to tears (of joy) when we got to see all of the moments he was able to capture! If you're looking for a photographer that is at the top of his craft and a great addition to any wedding look no further! Daniel is the man!

This is so generous! Thank you both so, so much. I really enjoyed shooting your event and look forward to the possibility of our paths crossing again very soon. Thank you so much!

own away by our wedding photos and knew we would be happy with anything we received but when we received our photos we remembered exactly why we love working with him. He is so easygoing he makes taking photos fun and natural, creating lasting memories with genuine smiles!
Daniel was amazing - he made us feel extremely comfortable during our engagement shoot. We had fun, it was easy-going and he had lots of poses and cool spots thought-out for us. The best part was that whenever we felt tense or nervous - he was ...
able to say fun things that got us to laugh and have fun again, which was awesome and made the time go by quickly. Obviously, the photos turned out stunning as well - no need to worry about that, you probably already knew that though when looking through his work ;)
This gave us tons of confidence heading into our wedding day because we knew that he brought out the best in us and would capture all our moments to perfection. He got there early, was extremely professional and friendly. Getting the second shooter was also nice because she took some cool alternate angles that we were happy with.
As we approach our 1 yr anniversary we were looking back at our photos and were reminded how grateful we were that we hired Daniel (Indigo West) because the photos were stunning, beautiful and unique.

Thank you so, so, so much, Daniel!

Daniel was originally booked for our wedding pre-pandemic and, after we realized “normal” times were not returning any time soon, ended up shooting our backyard “micro wedding” this summer. He was creative, flexible, and professional throughout...
the day. Our photos were absolutely stunning and we still smile looking at them. Daniel captured so many beautiful moments and our family unable to attend felt they really got a taste of the day from the pictures. He wore a mask and respected all appropriate social distancing, keeping his humor about him all the while. Our few guests present all said he was their favorite photographer they had ever worked with (for weddings or otherwise!) Thank you, Daniel!

unpredictable nature of our wedding day! From us arriving late to crazy weather - Daniel rolled with the punches and even lifted our own spirits at times.

What a great person to remember when we look back at this memory. I highly recommend!!! Thanks Daniel!

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividents throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope.
I've kept coming back to photography throughout my life and I now enjoy capturing genuine memories for people through passion for photojournalism. Those heartfelt moments they'll come to cherish to looking back on for years to come.
