When we got married in 2007, we didn’t hire a professional photographer for our wedding, and to this day, it’s the one thing we would change. (Okay, 2 things. We needed more air conditioning!)
We hear from so many couples how quickly their day went or how little they remember. We want you to love and remember every single moment!
How do you do that? How do you make sure that you're getting one of the best Cincinnati wedding photographers? It's so hard to tell based on an internet review.
Uncle Joe can push buttons, but that's not what we're here for. You’re choosing us to tell your story and save your most important memories for you and your family. Over the years, we’ve figured out what it takes to help plan your day to relieve your stress, get the photographs that you need, and make sure that you have a good time!
We love getting to know couples to figure out what you’re excited about for your wedding day so that you can remember it for the rest of your life!
Meet Daniel!
Daniel got his start shooting in India way back in 2006. After getting back to the States, he spent years honing his skills in how to deal with bad locations, terrible lighting, and people who didn't like to be photographed to be able to make compelling, honest, and painless photographs with little to no setup time for magazines and commercial projects.
After 10+ years of editorial photography, it was time for a change and he decided to make the switch to weddings. Daniel's decade of magazine experience has helped us to be one of the best Cincinnati wedding photographers so that we can give couples photographs they'll value for a lifetime. He has had so much fun getting to help couples capture the beginning of their life together!
