Sequoyah is not only a brilliant photographer, but also a class act and a bright light! We worked with Sequoyah for both our engagement photos as well as wedding day imagery and sh...
e was so great to work with. She made all our posed portraits look natural and refined.
She captured so much joy and levity during our reception as well. She is quick and professional, and captured us all so beautifully! She is quick and very communicative — we knocked out our wedding day schedule and I felt very confident we’d get all the shots we wanted for our special day.
Just on a personal note — she is also absolutely so friendly! Loved working with her and look forward to working with her again soon :)
Sequoyah is not just a skilled photographer, but a bright light of energy that floats through the gathering. We immediately enjoyed our first chat with Sequoyah for her people-foc...
used approach to recording special memories. Her compassion, awareness, and responsiveness was evident during our wedding, and in the carefully selected images of the people who gathered. When family members received framed gifts of the images for holidays, they commented on the high quality of candid moments that expressed the individuals’ and collective energy of the celebration. I am especially grateful for the images of my 95-year-old grandmother enjoying the party. We will be enjoying Sequoyah’s skilled photography to remember a beautiful day for the rest of our lives.
Sequoyah is fantastic both at her job as a photographer and as a person to have around on your special day. My spouse and I hired her twice, once when we filed our marriage certifi...
cate and once for our big wedding day, and both times she was punctual, creative, positive, and friendly. Our friends and family loved having her there as well. She strikes the perfect balance of knowing when to stay unseen and capture candids with stepping in to get a beautiful posed shot. She knows when to take creative liberty of certain photos, but also did a great job incorporating the types of photography I saved on my Pinterest board. All in all, we could not be happier with her work. I think a telling sign of how much my loved ones appreciated her work is the fact that everybody is using Sequoyah’s photos of themselves from our wedding as their dating profile/instagram holiday posts. We could not recommend her enough!!!
Sequoyah was so easy to work with, dependable and independent. She knew when to take charge, and when to fade into the moment, when to roll with the situation. She is a great pose-...
coach for people who aren't comfortable in front of the camera. She got some great shots of people/groups that I would call 'difficult customers' which says a lot about her people skills and speed! Our guests loved interacting with her, and she is super responsive both before and after the event. She gave us exactly what we asked for- and I'd encourage any prospective customer of hers to share their vision with confidence that she'll execute it. If you don't have a vision, her instincts can be trusted!
Sequoyah was everything I could have wanted in our photographer for our wedding day! Her work was stunning and when we got all of our photos back, I cried as I got to relive the da...
y over again (and see so many moments of our guest that I missed in person but she captured). Not only was she punctual for the big day but from start to finish with our initial call she was professional mixed with fun! We went over ideas, important photos and built out a timeline together to ensure everything was perfect! Our photos are timeless and I can not wait to frame them! I highly highly recommended Sequoyah and team to capture your big day!
We had the pleasure of working with Quoyah for our engagement photoshoot. Her energy and patience made the entire photoshoot enjoyable, and she was incredibly responsive and flexib...
le with scheduling. It’s evident that she is passionate about her craft, capturing our love in the most beautiful way possible. We couldn’t be happier with the results. We highly recommend her services to other couples looking for a talented and dedicated photographer. Thank you for making our engagement session truly memorable!

I will definitely work with her again!
Sequoyah was one the best parts of my wedding day. She went above and beyond in more ways than I am readily able to publicize. She help capture such authentic joy and interactions ...
between our loved ones. The colors of our pictures are so vivid and dynamic. I am amazed at how vibrant all of the pictures look. Each setting, outdoor, indoors, our dimly lit restaurant with purple lighting, and the various skin tones within our multiracial family all came out AMAZING. Sequoyah did a phenomenal job! I am so grateful to her and her talent.
Sequoyah is an amazing photographer, and so much fun to work with! She made the whole experience feel fun and spontaneous, and she really listened to what moments we wanted to capt...

e I was a little nervous having my picture taken. The pictures look amazing, she really captured all emotions and candid moments. This was especially important to me and my partner. I highly recommend working with her.
Sequoyah worked with us again a year later during our wedding celebration. She brought a festive energy and did a great job capturing moments with all of our guests (around 75 people). She found great places for us to pose even though it was a rainy day. No matter the event, she's a pleasure to work with.

ackdrops that gave us amazing photos to choose from. Sequoyah was engaging and professional; helping us capture some great moments with her directions for posing. I would recommend her services for those looking to have excellent photos and a good time!
Sequoyah Daniel was initially referred to me by a good friend for my engagement shoot. Those photos came out beautifully and within the timeframe promised. So naturally we booked h...
er for our wedding. Pricing was competitive for her quality of work and packaging.
Let me begin by stating that we had to change our wedding date! To which Sequoyah was respectful and very flexible in trying to accommodate.
On the day of the wedding Sequoyah and her team arrived promptly, dressed professionally and followed my and my husbands every move- in a great way. They were there for every moment but not in the way. They captured moments beautifully- my husband being prayed over, intimate last moments with my mother, my friends and I laughing throughout the day, teary eyed sentimental moments, great candids and so much more. When it was time for the posed shots, Sequoyah and her team gave excellent direction while still having us both look natural in final photos. Our wedding day fell on an extremely hot summer day but Sequoyah and team hustled through it to capture every moment with no complaint.
Our wedding ceremony was followed by an informal reception party at another site. Sequoyah arrived before we did to capture us entering the venue and captured all the smiles of our guests as we danced the night away.
The technical specs: the contract was simple to follow; payment reminders were friendly and professional and easy to make on her site; Sequoyah stood ready to answer any questions we had along the way; Sequoyah and team worked very well with all the other vendors including the videographer; Sequoyah and team came with a vision of shots to capture but were very open when we asked for other shots; the photos were uploaded to a BEAUTIFUL website and organized very well. All in all it was a 5 star experience and I recommend her to all my friends and colleagues who ask for references.
Sequoyah's pictures don't just say a million words; they convey a million feelings. Sequoyah made both our engagement and wedding photo shoots a wonderful experience. She was alway...
s early and put the bride and groom at ease during this high stress time! Sequoyah reminded us that this day was about celebrating us and our love and our photos reflect that. Our photos are breathtaking! We just can't get enough of them. What makes Sequoyah’s photography a unique experience is the way that she becomes part of the affair. The photos are for your display, but she moves like a true artist. She creates canvases in her mind and knows how to maneuver her subjects to fit into that vision. As a result, we feel like models for a moment. Then, just when you had fun hearing her harmonize her thoughts as she positioned you, you see the photos and watch yourself look better than you ever thought possible. We wouldn’t simply recommend her. We’d feel sorry if you didn’t get the chance to have her. Don't walk, run to book her!
Sequoyah and her team were consummate professionals and made us feel at ease throughout the process, from early conversations about our vision to the day itself. Their photos were ...
stunning - they captured precious moments and told the story of our day so beautifully. I've already gone through all of the photos multiple times, and I'm having trouble choosing my favorites because there were simply so many beautiful shots. I couldn't recommend Sequoyah more strongly!
Sequoyah was as phenomenal a photographer as you can ask for — and then some. From the moment we hopped on an introductory call we knew she was special. She asked about what style ...
of photography we liked — we said mostly candid with a few staged — and she immediately locked on to our wave length, spitballing ideas. When we did our site visit to the venue a few months before our wedding date, Sequoyah and her assistant came along, spotting amazing locations that we should consider for our First Look and preparation photos. Our wedding was at The Factoria in Peekskill and we’d intended the first look to take place on the water on our wedding day but hurricane Henri derailed our plans. Sequoyah sprang into action and scouted a really special alternative down in the arcade at the venue. During stages photos she commanded the room, which we really appreciated because of how much of a whirlwind that period is before the ceremony. We didn’t have to think of anything—she had the shot list ready to go and navigated people in and out of frame to keep things moving. In addition to her camera photos, Sequoyah also took photos on her iPhone and sent a bunch to us the next morning, and tagging us in Instagram Stories. We *really* appreciated that part, since all we wanted to do the next day was relive the day/night we’d just had. My wife (!!) and I can’t recommend Sequoyah Daniel Photography enough. Honestly, your search should be over because she’s the real deal.
Thank you so much Sequoyah!!! You made our wedding day and the weeks leading into it so much more special than we could’ve asked for.
One word- AMAZING!!!!!!
She arrived super early and checked out the location. By the time we arrived, she already had a list of places to pose and take our photos. She was extreme...
ly professional as well. I am not the best at posing, but Sequoyah was very helpful and gave me great advice on how to pose and where to stand for the best photos. One thing I loved most about her style of shooting, was that her photos of my husband and I told a story. I left our shoot feeling amazing and was even more excited when I saw the photos - which she delivered edited by the next day! If you're looking for high quality photos for your engagement and wedding, I highly recommend her!
Sequoyah, thank you so much. This meant so much to me!
Sequoyah was SOOO amazing and exactly the photographer we needed for our wedding! Much like many others last year, our original wedding plans were DRASTICALLY altered because of th...
e pandemic. We wanted to keep our original 9/20/2020 date so we got married over Zoom in our backyard in Brooklyn. Sequoyah (who took every professional health precaution) was so endearing and made everyone feel comfortable. The photos she captured of our wedding were so magical. She got EVERY shot we could’ve wanted from our special day. Even though our wedding was not what we originally planned, it definitely turned out to be even more perfect than we could’ve imagined and Sequoyah expertly captured those images for us.

and I have booked Sequoyah for our engagement photo shoot which is amazing as we were able to capture our Brooklyn romance from 3 locations. We also booked her for our destination wedding in Jamaica which is even more phenomenal as she captured the biggest day of our lives. She is punctual, communicates effectively, personable, reasonable, and worth it all. We highly recommend and will continue to book with her. Truly Amazing!
