Daniel was amazing! He was so calm and patient, and most importantly, a really excellent listener! I don’t love a wedding that feels filled with photo sessions, and I wanted to get a lot of wonderful candids of our guests. Boy, did he deliver!
Daniel has so much heart and really sees your guests. He brings the joy of your event into the photos, and what more could you really ask for in a wedding photographer? He also works with film - the cherry on top!
I would highly recommend booking Daniel for any of your events, but particularly your wedding. Take the stress out of giving your photographer directions, and let him tell a story with his beautiful photos!!

We had Daniel shoot our elopement at the San Diego courthouse. We came all the way from Maine, so this was very special for us. We couldn’t love our photos more. Keep perfectly captured the day. He was excellent to work with, gave great direction and even gave us awesome recommendations For the remainder of our trip. Highly recommend Daniel and Indigo West photography.

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.

e the entire photography process from planning to execution completely 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!!

If you are looking for a photographer in San Diego, look no further than Daniel. We first worked with him for our engagement photos and knew immediately we had to book him for our ...
wedding. Daniel is incredibly friendly and professional, but what we loved most was his eye for candid moments. He captured the true essence of our day and all the little things that made it special. We are completely in love with our photos! One of the highlights was his film photography option—the care package he sent with the negatives, prints, and a handwritten card was such a beautiful, personal touch. It’s clear he truly cares about his clients. Working with him was an amazing experience from start to finish, and being able to book our videographer through him made the entire process seamless. If you are in the Southern California area, you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much, Daniel, for giving us memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Simone was an incredible photographer to work with for both our engagement session and our wedding day. We had read many great reviews about Indigo West, but it was Simone’s portfo...
lio that truly stood out to us and spoke to his talent and artistic eye.
From our initial consultation, we knew Simone was the right fit to capture our wedding. Our wedding was an intimate celebration of about 75 guests set in a botanic garden. Simone immediately understood the vibe we were going for and made us feel comfortable and confident moving forward. He is easy to talk to, kind, and genuinely funny, which helped my wife and me (both introverts) feel relaxed in front of the camera.
On the wedding day, Simone was calm, organized, and incredibly thoughtful. He did an amazing job directing friends, family, and even children during photos while keeping everything feeling natural and unforced. He was also very mindful of our timeline and managed to capture incredible shots even in the in-between moments throughout the day.
One of our favorite things about Simone’s work is how intentionally he captures the true essence of the day. He beautifully documented emotional moments during the ceremony and recessional, which ended up being some of our absolute favorite photos. We also loved how he incorporated the scenery of our venue—especially the artistic couple portraits using the garden’s natural water features. Those images are stunning and feel so unique.
Our engagement photos completely wowed us, and Simone delivered sneak peeks from our wedding within the same weekend, which we were thrilled about. The sneak peek included highlights from all aspects of the day and made the wait for the full gallery even more exciting. When we received the complete collection, it truly felt like we were reliving our wedding day all over again. The photos brought us so much joy.
Simone was also extremely responsive and professional throughout the entire process. He communicated clearly via email and provided a detailed questionnaire well ahead of the wedding to finalize details and our shot list, which made everything feel organized and stress-free.
We would recommend Simone to any couple, especially those who value authenticity. He captures the true vibe of your wedding day without trying to curate something that doesn’t feel genuine. We are so grateful we chose Simone and couldn’t be happier with our experience or our photos.

Daniel is the best. Before we even booked him he went above and beyond looking up our ceremony venue and had ideas of how to shoot the ceremony.
We had our engagement photo shoot ...
with him this past October and it was incredible. Not only are our photos beautiful, but he captured us perfectly. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and was just an absolute pleasure to work with. On top of it all he had the photos back to us in no time, and even picked out a few of his favorite to highlight before we saw them all.
We can’t wait to have him shoot our wedding soon and we cannot recommend enough!

On the day of the wedding, he was so flexible and calm, even with unexpected rain, which we really appreciated. He delivered our photos within the exact timeframe he promised, and the results exceeded our expectations. In addition to the romantic moments, he also captured really fun, playful, and action-filled photos that truly reflect the energy of the day. He made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. We couldn’t recommend Daniel and Indigo West Photography more!

The photos feel natural, timeless, and so us!!!
Beyond the photos, he was incredibly professional, organized, and kind. He worked seamlessly with our planner and vendors, kept things running smoothly, and truly cared about telling our story in an honest way.
We cannot recommend Daniel enough.

Simone from Indigo West was the perfect photographer for our wedding. We first heard about Indigo West from our venue, and Simone had experience taking pictures at the venue for o...
ther weddings. From the initial consultation we knew that we were in excellent hands. Simone was warm, kind, and funny; we felt absolutely at ease having pictures taken of us throughout our wedding. His style also matched our venue beautifully and he made sure to highlight a lot of the features of the venue while also capturing beautiful moments throughout the day.
Throughout the planning process Simone was easy to talk to; he was receptive to any ideas we had around particular moments we wanted captured and we shared our Pinterest board with him for additional inspiration. He also provided us with a comprehensive questionnaire before the wedding so we could finalize our shot list and we had a meeting a few weeks before the wedding to finalize additional details. On the day of the wedding he seamlessly captured moments throughout the day, so much so that we did not even notice him capturing them. It was also an excellent mix of candid and stylized. We just recently got the full collection and we were so moved by all of the pictures, because it really captured the emotions, movement, and energy throughout the day. We really are so grateful and lucky to have had him as our photographer on such a special day.

Choosing Daniel from Indigo West as our wedding photographer was hands down one of the best decisions we made. From our first conversation, we loved his calm, thoughtful demeanor a...
nd his organic, artistic approach to capturing the day. His eye for composition and detail is exceptional and the photos truly tell a story.
As a same-sex couple, we wanted someone who could move beyond traditional wedding clichés, capture the grandeur of our museum venue (complete with dinosaur skeletons) while making it feel intimate, and handle dark, dramatic spaces. Daniel did all of that and more. He captured the energy, emotion, laughter, and joy of the day beautifully.
Daniel was efficient but never rushed. He was professional yet playful, and it felt like he immediately understood our dynamic as a couple and with our guests. We trusted his vision completely, and it absolutely shows in the photos. Most importantly, Daniel brought such a fun, relaxed energy—it never felt like he was just doing a job. We can’t recommend him enough.

estination wedding weekend on one of our beautiful Washington islands. Daniel's ability to capture human emotions stood out to me in his portfolio and I enthusiastically referred his work to my couple. They matched well and Daniel was an absolute professional during the planning process, responding promptly and completely to all communication. On the day of the wedding, Daniel was kind, collaborative, and proactive. Every time I went to update him on something, he was there asking the exact same question, as if he was almost reading my mind professionally. His approach behind the camera put our couple at ease and let the day unfold naturally, while also offering gentle support when needed. After the event, Daniel sent sneak peek photos within a week and took feedback from my clients to ensure they were 100% satisfied with their gallery. I could not say enough kind words about Daniel's communication, professionalism, artistic approach, and hospitality. I sincerely look forward to referring more couples his way and working with him again in the future!

omed the challenge and gave us such beautiful memories to treasure 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.

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 are 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.

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!

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, fleeting 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!

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 w...
ithout looking overly filtered.
I was a little nervous about feeling 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!

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 sure 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 t...
o 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."

Daniel was the most phenomenal photographer for our big day! He did such a tremendous job, and as both my wife and I were saying, we will be booking him for every major future even...
t! The photos came out fantastic and everyone, I mean EVERYONE from 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!
