Hi, I'm Danny (and that’s my favorite person, Veronica). I'm a documentary and portrait photographer who specializes in couples and weddings. Constantly shooting all sorts of different people and celebrations with full creative freedom has kept my work fun, interesting, and creatively fulfilling. So I don't really see lines between my personal and professional work. I see them both as an opportunity to pursue my passion, be creative, and experience something meaningful. I'm incredibly honored and grateful to be able share what I do with others.

Your wedding is a party, not a performance. You don’t want to do anything that doesn’t feel like you or add value. You don’t really care about trends, fads, or traditions. You want every aspect of your celebration to be authentic and intentional.

It’s about the people. Not just one of you. Not just both of you. It’s about everyone getting together to share laughs, tears, and drinks in honor of this incredible relationship you’ve built.

You value being present. This is a unique moment in your lives. So you don’t want to be concerned with anything but soaking it all in and having a great time. You want to be able to let go and embrace the beautiful chaos of the day.

Above all you want photography to be natural, candid, and pain-free. You don’t care for traditional photography or cringey awkward posing. You just want to be yourselves. You want a photographer who sees you two for the unique individuals you are and not just clients.

I’d sum up my style as largely documentarian with a splash of creative editorial portraiture. I shoot on both digital and 35mm film. But more importantly I’ve found that photographing people and moments is far more about being a person than it is being a photographer. This is because so much of photography has nothing to do with pressing the shutter. It’s the art of paying attention, connecting, and being present. Which is why I feel it’s so important to get to know the people I’m photographing, whether it’s you or your loved ones. This allows me to get closer both physically and emotionally. I feel the closer I am to what’s happening the more connected you’ll feel to the images.

To help you get an even deeper understanding of what I do I think it’s useful to talk about the kinds of things that inform and inspire me. Such as:

New York street photography from the likes of Daniel Arnold, Jeff Mermelstein, Garry Winogrand, and many others. Images from Studio 54 and House of Yes. 90’s movies. Grungy album covers. Photos of early skate culture. Photos my parents took of each other. You’ll likely catch flavors of these things in my work. But most importantly, my work is inspired by you. I truly believe photography is a constant collaboration between photographer and subject. Meaning I can’t do what I do without the trust and willingness of so many incredible couples. I often feel that my favorite photos aren’t simply taken by me, they’re given by you. So thank you.

If any of this has resonated with you, get in touch. :)
