Look No Further, You've Found Your Photographer
We first met with Dan about six months before our wedding. From that very first meeting, we were beyond confident in choosing him to capture our big day. He sat down with us at his studio, generously taking the time to get to know us, our interests, and our relationship. He never came across as someone just trying to make a sale, but rather, someone genuinely passionate about his craft and excited to share it. He explained various photography styles, discussed his experience, and shared his love for his work. His portfolio was impressive on its own, but we left that first meeting completely sold on the photographer behind it. Our complimentary engagement session was wonderful. To start, Dan was extremely accommodating of our busy weekday schedules. He helped select the perfect location and immediately made us feel at ease. The session was highly enjoyable and resulted in beautifully natural photos that made us feel incredible. We incorporated them heavily into our invitations and decor, and they received plenty of praise from our family and friends. The wedding day itself was, naturally, the peak of our Daniel Michael experience. Leading up to the event, Dan was communicative and incredibly helpful in creating a photography schedule that fit perfectly with a busy wedding timeline. Having already worked with him during our engagement shoot, we knew how easy he made it to smile, how creative he was at finding the best angles, and how personable and hilarious he could be in the process. We are delighted to report that our wedding party and families walked away echoing that exact sentiment. Daniel and his two wonderful assistants skillfully navigated multiple rotating casts of family members, changing weather conditions, and plenty of wedding party hijinks. We can comfortably say that by the time the reception was underway, Dan was as much a guest as he was our photographer. He seamlessly blended into the crowd while capturing the evening, chatted and joked, and even sang a little karaoke with us. We hired a photographer and came away with a friend. We cannot recommend Images by Daniel Michael highly enough, you will not be disappointed.
Daniel Michael•Oct 11, 2026If it wasn't so specific I would've thought you'd ChatGPT that! That was beautiful. It also means the world to me. You guys made me feel like part of your day from the very beginning. And that makes everything work! Thank you for taking the time to write such a genuine and thoughtful review.

The best in the wedding business
Truthfully, I can't say enough good things about Daniel Michael and Casey, our photographers for our engagement photos and our special day. At every stage of the planning process and during the whirlwind of the actual day, he made things actively easier for us and demonstrated himself to be not only a true professional in the wedding arena, but a fantastic individual who effortlessly blended into the dynamics of our family and friends. Already, from only what we've seen of the photos so far, I am awestruck at the way Daniel brought out a type of smile from me that I have no other photos of. I've been told I have a soft smile and can be somewhat self conscious when posing for photos, but Daniel erased every bit of that feeling. The entire day was magical, and I can't imagine anyone else being able to capture what he did. My family and friends had a great time during photos, he made us laugh, he made us comfortable, and he captured it all. Simply put, it was a blast, and he was a key part of it all. Beyond worthy of being integrated into our memories of the best day of our lives. Daniel, WE MISS YOU ALREADY!!!
Daniel Michael•Sep 15, 2026OMG, I love you guys!! Thank you so much. I'm so happy to hear you had such a great experience! But that photo of you two during the toasts just melts me!!

Don was our photographer for our wedding. He did a great job posing everyone and took his time getting the perfect shot. We are looking forward to seeing our gallery!
Daniel Michael•Dec 1, 2025I haven't had a chance to see the photos Don took for your wedding at the Dayton Art Institute, but with his creative vision, I have no doubt they will be stunning as you are! Thank you!!

Five Stars for the Experience Alone!!
We have not yet seen a single photo, and yet still find it necessary to send along our highest compliments and sincerest thanks to Eric and Al for an incredible experience! Throughout the day, Eric and Al worked flawlessly and comfortably with the wedding party, many of whom were “camera shy”. Very quickly, they established a rapport with a diverse group of personalities. Eric was even willing to help give advice during our pre-ceremony walkthrough and placement. As the evening progressed, Eric went above and beyond the call of duty again and assisted in keeping the timeline moving efficiently. He was flexible with changes and was not intrusive at all as he worked. He worked very well with the other vendors, which helped to create a stress free environment for all involved. Everyone had nothing but good things to say about the whole experience, from parents to wedding party to guests. But I think it was the Groom who summed up the evening best when he said he wished we could do so much more than just thank and tip our photographers. I cannot agree more. The whole experience was like having good friends working with us. It was that comfortable and stress free for everyone! We are certain the photos will reflect the atmosphere Eric and Al helped create, and I cannot be more satisfied with our choice to use your company to capture the feel and flair of such a special day. Eric and Al were not just technical pros, but they were quite simply masters at keeping everything fun and low key. We cannot thank them enough! Bravo and cheers!!
Daniel Michael•Oct 21, 2025Thank you so much for your incredible review! We’re thrilled that Eric and Al made your day feel so comfortable and stress-free. They’ll be overjoyed to hear how much everyone enjoyed working with them—your kind words mean the world to our team!

The Dream Team Who Captured Our Day Perfectly!
We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding photography team — Cory, Tyler, and Jenna were absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable and capture every special moment perfectly. Cory, our lead photographer, was an absolute pro — calm, organized, and creative all at once. He gave such great direction while still letting us feel completely ourselves. He somehow managed to capture every little detail and emotion without ever feeling intrusive! Tyler, our photojournalist, had this incredible ability to blend into the background and catch all the candid, genuine moments — the laughter, happy tears, and spontaneous joy that made our day so special. And Jenna, our bridal bestie, was truly that — a best friend behind the cameras. She kept me calm, helped with my dress, fixed my hair when it was windy, and made me laugh all day long. She was such a positive, grounding presence and made me feel like the most beautiful, confident bride. Together, they made us feel so comfortable, celebrated, and seen. Their energy and teamwork were unmatched, and they fit right in with our guests like part of the family. We could not have asked for a better photography team to capture our wedding day. If you’re considering them for your wedding — do it. They made an amazing team who genuinely cares about making your day magical. We recommend them a thousand times over and can’t wait to see the final results!
Daniel Michael•Oct 7, 2025Wow, I don't even have words for that! The amount of thought you put into it and the description make me feel like you are a writer! Thank you so much :-)
