About DannyTakes
Hi, I'm Daniel, and I’m passionate about capturing authentic moments that tell your story. Whether it's a wedding, portrait session, family event, or creative shoot, I bring a thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to every project. With experience behind the lens and professional-grade equipment, I aim to deliver not just beautiful photos—but images that feel personal, timeless, and true to you. What sets me apart is my ability to make clients feel at ease in front of the camera. I believe great photography starts with trust and connection. That’s why I take time to understand your vision and tailor each session to fit your personality, style, and setting. From lighting and composition to editing and delivery, I handle every step with care. I also pride myself on reliability, clear communication, and fast turnaround times—because your memories deserve the best. Let’s create something meaningful together.

Working with Danny was an absolute pleasure and the photos are fabulous! He was very communicative before, during and after our baby shower event. He arrived on time, ready to go and then did a marvelous job showing the atmosphere and deocrations, capturing wonderful candid shots of all the guests interacting with our momma-to-be and guests participating in activities. He also took some more formal photos. He was very busy the whole time because there are so many photos! Although he requested direction, he seemed to just know which shots to capture. And to our delight, he edited and sent the photos within just 10 days! Danny is a real value.
Danny was absolutely great! He came prepared and well ahead of time. He captured our event just like how we had pictured it. Thank you, Danny!!

Daniel was very responsive and professional. He did exactly what I needed and helped with photo ideas. I reccommend you book him!
Daniel was absolutely amazing. From the moment we booked through the day of our event and even afterward, he was professional, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. We will definitely be hiring him again and highly recommend him!
Overall an amazing experience!! Daniel took beautiful engagement photos for us, was a pleasure to work with and gave clear direction while following the theme and concept we laid out for him!
Daniel was incredible to work with and I HIGHLY recommend going to him as a photographer!! He was super easy to work with and did great quality pictures! My family loved Daniel and his willingness to be invested in our future. There are a lot of photographers on this website, but trust me when I tell you… stop searching and contact Daniel!!
I can’t recommend Daniel highly enough! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our surprise engagement absolutely perfect. His communication was exceptional — he helped plan every detail and even scoped out the location beforehand to ensure everything went smoothly. When the big moment came, he captured it beautifully with a mix of stunning candid and posed shots that we’ll cherish forever. Beyond his incredible talent behind the camera, Daniel is just a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. He even gave us a ride to our uber pickup spot afterward — a small gesture that showed just how caring he is. If you’re looking for a photographer who will make your special moment unforgettable, Daniel is the one. I wholeheartedly recommend him!
Daniel was truly a pleasure to work with—professional, friendly, and incredibly thoughtful. He not only captured beautiful moments, but also guided students and parents during the event to ensure the best possible photos. Before the event, he asked lots of smart, detailed questions about the venue, lighting, background, and more—showing how much care and preparation he puts into his work. The photos were delivered promptly and with excellent edits. I highly recommend him and would gladly work with him again!
Great to work with, flexiable and responsive!
