Our Studio and Style

Photography has been a passion for Daniel since his first camera at the age of fourteen. The idea of capturing a single moment in time, that decisive moment, has always intrigued Daniel. Photography allows one to explore all avenues of one’s existence by visually interpreting people, places, and things. It allows one to travel in search of more interesting light, landscape, seascape, people, projects and all aspects of the world around us. I use these ideas and incorporate this philosophy in capturing a moment in time and that is your wedding day.

In 1986 Daniel graduated from the University of San Francisco / Academy of Art College with a BFA in photojournalism. Photography has come a long way since 1986 with the digital age taking over, but Daniel’s influences still seem to revert back to photographers like Henri Cartier Bresson, Brassai, Andre Kertez, Dorthea Lange, and Man Ray. Daniel started shooting weddings in a candid, documentary, unobtrusive style using state of the art digital cameras creating a cinematic storybook, which lends itself to showing your wedding day. Daniel captures your day by being perceptive of the critical moments that happen throughout the event, along with creating moments by interpreting what makes a beautiful photograph. Our goal is to make your special day about you, and capture that beauty with an expertise and skill unmatched in our area.
