My fiancé and I had an absolute wonderful experience with Starfish Studios (Danny) for our engagement photos! From the beginning, their communication was clear, timely, and reassur...
ing. They were incredibly personable, which made the entire process feel natural and comfortable.
During the shoot, they guided us with ease- offering helpful direction without ever making anything feel forced. My dance and intend to be a bit camera-shy, but they put us completely at ease and helped us relax and genuinely enjoy the moment. The results speak for themselves; the photos came out beautifully and we couldn’t be happier!
We highly recommend Starfish and Danny to anyone who is looking for a skilled, professional and truly enjoyable to work with photographer!

initial outreach to gather pricing and service information, they went above and beyond and worked with us on budget. I felt comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process because of their communication and organization. Come to the weekend of our wedding...wow! Danny was onsite for our rehearsal dinner and I knew right away we made the right choice. He kept us moving, talking and laughing throughout all of our photos that night. Our wedding day was even more incredible with the team. They kept the timeline going with our large group and made sure we were relaxed and happy during all of our shots. Danny was even carrying my very heavy train, veil, bouquet and a margarita for me at one point! Our photos turned out better than I ever could have imagined. They are timeless and capture the entire weekend perfectly. I would give them twenty stars if I could and I truly could not recommend Starfish Studios enough. South Florida brides, they are a must!!

We are so happy with the amazing Photos and Videos that we received, they are all great! Starfish truly captured the love, happiness, and memories of the day. We also had their Photo Booth services and wow, so happy we made that decision. It’s great entertainment for guests and then you get all the pictures on a link, so fun to see the candid pics of our family and friends having a great time!

so calm, efficient, and a pleasure to spend the day with. So many of our wedding guests mentioned how impressed they were with the photographers/videographers and how they were subtly in the background capturing every moment. Everything was planned out perfectly so we didn't have to spend any time missing our wedding posing for photos. Will definitely use Danny and his team for any future events!

pleasure to work with. Your photographer is with you constantly during your wedding day so it's really important to work with someone who is flexible and understands what are the priorities for you. Danny and his team were amazing to work with and made sure that we captured all of the special moments throughout the day!
The team was so kind and did a wonderful job capturing all our special moments.

ghout the day and the pictures that they took are just stunning to say the least. The team captured every single moment of the day and night, and we are so grateful that we get to relive our big day through these photos (and we could not believe how fast the pictures were shared with us!). Danny and team, THANK YOU so much for everything. We HIGHLY recommend Starfish Studios!

We recently hosted my daughter's wedding at Pelican Club in Jupiter, Florida. When my daughter was looking for photographers, we knew who to immediately turn to when looking for pr...
ofessionals. The team at Starfish knocked it out of the park. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. Being in the business myself and running the day-to-to operations of Lessing’s Hospitality Group, we were over-the-moon with the pictures that this team put together. It was a true pleasure to work with them and I can’t thank them enough for how perfect they helped make my daughter's wedding day. The photos are GORGEOUS.

Overall would 100% recommend to anyone, especially any & every bride!!!!
Danny was great as well as his assistant. All throughout planning starfish was wonderful and so nice to work with. He politely gave me his advice and opinions which I ended up taki...
ng and he managed to get a photo of every single person on the dance floor which perfectly captured the night. The getting ready pictures with the bridesmaids are beautiful and the first look came out great and truly captures our happiness and personalities in that moment. We did not have an engagement shoot with a professional photographer but he made taking pictures a breeze and talked us through everything. The photos were worth the wait and I love looking through them - each time I look I find another one I love more than the one before it. Thank you, Starfish team!
I cannot recommend Danny and the starfish team enough for your big day! I loved their photos because they had the 'bright and airy' feel that I was looking for. They did our engage...
ment photos, rehearsal dinner photos, and wedding photos and they were all perfection! My husband does not like posing for photos but Danny made him feel so comfortable! We both have huge families and a huge wedding party and I was so impressed with how they handled all the different photos we had to take on our wedding day. We're so grateful for how well they captured our memories!
Starfish Studios was ONE OF THE BEST parts of our wedding day! The team is so professional and super FUN. Their enthusiasm and positive direction made us feel like naturals in fron...
t of the camera and those images speak for themselves. They offered a unique experience and totally catered to our personal style and aesthetic. I know "capturing the moment" is like the thing but when you have a photographer that can create excitement, comfort and ease in someone who is a bundle of nerves and super camera shy that's the catalyst to capturing the magic. I tell you, I KNEW this was going to be the best wedding photography crew when I saw their genuine "we are so happy to be here FOR YOU" smiles light up the room and that's a vibe you can't find just anywhere. The wedding day goes by so fast, too fast really, but what if I told you that you could relive those moments in time with a picture, and OMGoodness can Danny and the team really show up and freeze frame the day, show you the seen and unseen, and present it to you in a way you could not have imagined. We are so in love with the end result and the experience. Thank you guy so much Starfish Studios!
Starfish studios did both our engagement and wedding pictures and they did an INCREDIBLE job! Danny and the entire team are SO fun to work with which was really important consideri...
ng how much time we were going to spend taking pictures! They made it really fun for us and got amazing candid photos. We had planned to be outside on our wedding day doing our first look and bridal party pictures but it was raining so they got us set up at the hotel and made it work perfectly! All of our pictures were amazing and as soon as I looked at them it took me right back to the day. Thank you to Danny and the whole team for helping to make our day so special!

e responsive, punctual and all around great! On our wedding day, Danny’s calm and efficient way of shooting made everything go seamless & he made sure to shoot all requested pictures. We have a family of 50+ and he made this as smooth as possible. Before he left, he checked in to make sure all the shots we wanted were taken. He has already shared a sneak peek with us and we cannot wait for the final photos & videos. His personality and work are both absolutely amazing and I would recommend him to anyone!
Starfish Studios was such a pleasure to work with it. They were professional, organized, and kind-hearted. The photos came back great! We brought the video and photo booth through ...
them as well, which made it easy! They worked with me on my video which was appreciated and I'm in love with them. I highly recommend using them for your wedding.
Great couple to work with! Enjoyed having Danny taking the photos! They came out stunning and so thankful to have them for the rest of my life! ❤️
We loved Starfish! Danny, Vicki and Lisa were wonderful to work with. Danny made us feel so comfortable and was fun to work with. Both our engagement photos and wedding photos were...

We got married this past July 2018. Danny and his crew were professional, organized, and efficient. The knew exactly what they were doing and took care of everything. Danny is also...
a very nice guy and make you feel comfortable and carefree! My wedding album is absolutely beautiful and really captures the day perfectly, which is something that you want to feel when you look back through them. I highly suggest getting him to stay with you from the very beginning (detail shots) to the end. The detail shots are so well done, as were all the others! Thank you, Starfish, for providing us with very special and beautiful captured memories.
Danny was extremely professional, fun and encouraging. He took a variety of styles of imagery, used different backdrops, and was running around to make sure he got every shot, with...
out making us feel like we spent the whole wedding taking photos. He got incredible photos at the church, while being respectful and away from the altar.
Danny and his crew were amazing! I'm one of those girls who gets awkward whens she has to pose alone so Danny was very helpful and hands on! Helped me smile, laugh, loosen up when ...
my awkward stiffness kicked in, etc. We made a list for pictures with immediate family to occur right after the ceremony. Family dynamics are intense so I appreciated how structured& efficient his timeline was. I tell ya, everyone from The Addison & vendors they recommend were immaculate. They truly are a well oiled machine. Still waiting on pictures, which is to be expected. I mean 2 photographers and thousands of images to edit...have to be patient. I know I will be in love with them all. Danny& his team really portray the style of pictures I am drawn to. I know one vendor who is incredibly crucial in every bride's budget is the photographer. Starfish is worth every penny. You will not be disappointed!
