Everyone receives digital downloads with the rights to reproduction in perpetuity. I retain the legal “ownership” of the images, which only means that you couldn’t sell your wedding photos without my consent — But who does that anyway?

Generally speaking within a 2 hour radius of 19973 there isn’t a travel fee. If you have a late night planned, there could be a fee. If you are beyond that travel radius, there could be a fee. If you’d like to have me shoot the welcome dinner and the wedding and the welcome dinner ends late and the wedding starts early, there could be a fee. If your wedding starts so early that I can’t have coffee with my wife and hug my son in the morning, there could be a travel fee.

This answer changes year to year throughout the season. Editing is literally 3 times more of an effort than the actual wedding is - It could be as quick as 2-3 weeks if your wedding is early in the year. If you’re getting married in October, plan on around 8-10 weeks. I’m very transparent about lead times and keep an open line of communication after the wedding to keep your curious mind at ease.

Well, I’ve booked as far as 3 years and as little as 3 days. Generally speaking 8-14 months seems to be about the average. Best bet is to reach out as soon as you’re interested and we’ll start the process. I take a limited number of weddings a year so the earlier you inquire, the better.

Generally speaking we’ll do a zoom chat first, or if our schedules both align, we’ll do it like the old days and meet in person. Gasp! We’ll get to know each other, I’ll walk you through a wedding day, and we’ll see if it’s a good fit. From there, you’ll sign your contract, pay your retainer ($1000) and the balance will be due a week before the wedding. Leading up to the wedding I’ll help build timelines with your planner, answer any questions you might have and help you get the most out of your wedding day.

Absolutely. Some of my favorite and richest experiences in my career have been at Indian Weddings. I love the colors, I love the crazy packed agenda, I love the food, I love the Barat, I love the energy, I love the chaos. It’s good to chat over the religion & cultural specific details ahead of time to freshen up my memory, but I’d love to chat more about it.

Many. I’ve shot very traditional orthodox Jewish weddings all the way to people who described themselves as “sort of Jewish”. I like to go over the traditions you’ll be including beforehand and have a conversation about what it means to you, but I’m experienced and I would love to be apart of it.

Love is love, man. I’ll shoot it just the same as I would any other day.

I was raised in the Baptist church. I’m happy to show your love of Jesus and photograph all of the prayers and the blessings of the day.

I’ll absolutely work with your videographer. I don’t offer the service currently, but I can make some recommendation of friends I have worked well with over the years.

Heck yeah it is. I love working with planners, they understand the intricacies of the day, what’s important, what isn’t and how to manage a timeline. I have quite a few that have become great friends of mine so if you need one, I know some great ones.

I would love to! But, please don’t call me 3 days out from the proposal date, I likely won’t be available. Weekend dates are closed off for weddings and my weekdays often book up about 4-6 weeks out. So dudes (and ladies!) plan ahead.

Out of the ~400 weddings I have done, I can recall about 3 couples who have really enjoyed being in front of the camera. I’m sensitive to your insecurities and to your anxiety about it. Don’t sweat it. We’ll have fun with it and the consensus after we finish is always, “that was way better than I was expecting!” See all those pretty pictures in the portfolios? None of them liked having there picture taken either.

Yes. It’s really at the end of the day, a large chunk of what you pay for. Editing is a substantial part of the process. Every image gets color corrected and cleaned up. Now, do I go through and touch up every skin imperfection and make you look like a Vogue model? No. Absolutely not. You wouldn’t get your photos for a year and I’d end up in the mental hospital. That’s not good for anyone. “Danny, what if I wake up with a giant pimple on my nose?!” Don’t sweat it. I’ll edit it out the ones where it’s glaringly obvious, and if I missed one that you love I’ll happily go back and make sure your look your best!

I’d say between 600-1000 on average. If you have a giant wedding with every tradition you can imagine, you’ll get more. If you have a simple and intimate day, obviously a lot less. I can walk you through that process if you need me to.

Sure, I regularly send COI’s to venues that require them. Not a problem.

Well, this answer has changed lately. it used to be, “it doesn’t matter, gotta play hurt”. I’d shot weddings with the stomach flu, with colds, pneumonia, with torn ligaments in my knee, with bulging discs in my back, and with broken bones in my feet. Generally you just grit and bare through it and often times no one knows the wiser. And then the world changed. I’ve gotten COVID twice, both times from weddings, and each time caused me to miss weddings the following weekend. I have a strong network of photographers that I am happy to call friends. They’ve been there for me in a pinch and I’ve done the same for them. The second the unthinkable happens I get on the phone and start calling my friends. I’ve never not been able to source a photographer. That being said, I can’t predict the future and I can’t make any guarantees that I could source a photographer in the event of a personal disaster. There are too many variables for that. I can guarantee your money back, every cent, and my undying apologies for through such a stressful monkey wrench into your wedding day.

Absolutely!!! I love getting a few of my favorites out to you as soon as I can!! Trust me, I have as much anticipation on seeing what we made as you do.

Aw man. Hard question. I love all kinds of weddings, but as long as you’re present in the moment, you’re having a great time, you want to spend time with your best friends and family, you embrace the emotions your feeling, you embrace the depth of commitment your making to your person, and you’re respectful to the staff and vendors you hire, we’ll get along fine. Bonus points if you have a wedding with dogs, kids, and good food.

Oh yeah. I’d love to shoot a wedding in the mountains. Like, real mountains. Rocky mountains. Montana mountains. Swiss Alps. Anytime I can get to Maine or anywhere in the North East in the fall is up there, and I still want an NYC wedding. I joking fantasize about shooting a wedding on someone’s iPhone then handing it to them, giving a hug, and being on my merry way. I’d also love to shoot one with all film, no digital at all (that one takes some courage on both parts).

We have a son with autism. The special needs community is very close to my heart and I go above and beyond to cater to it in anyway possible. Please let me know what I can do to make it easier on your loved one. If anyone knows about that world, it’s someone like me who lives it every day.
