HI, I’m Daniel.

I’m a wedding and family photographer based in Atlanta, Georgia, also serving Nashville, Tennessee and the Greater Southeast. I specialize in wedding photography, family photography, and portrait sessions, creating images that are both meaningful and visually compelling. While Atlanta and Nashville are home bases, I’m always open to traveling throughout the Southeast and beyond to document your story!

My work is rooted in capturing genuine emotion—love, joy, awe, and wonder—the feelings that make us human. Whether I’m documenting a wedding day or a family session, my goal is to create imagery that feels authentic and lasting. I focus on the in-between moments just as much as the big ones, preserving memories that allow you to not only see your photos, but truly feel them for years to come.

I began my journey as a street and travel photographer, which continues to influence my approach today. That background shaped my ability to observe and capture real, unscripted moments as they naturally unfold. Over time, I discovered a passion for working with people and telling their stories through a blend of candid, documentary-style imagery and creative, intentional portraits that reflect each client’s unique personality.

Above all, I want your experience to feel relaxed & enjoyable. Whether you’re planning a wedding or updating your family photos, I’m here to make the process easy and fun while creating something truly meaningful together. If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect and hear your story!

    "Daniel was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He was professional, responsive, and organized in the lead-up to our wedding, which made the entire process feel seamless. On the big day, he handled our very large wedding party with ease, including our dog which was not an easy task! His calm presence and clear direction helped everything run flawlessly, and the photos turned out stunning. Every moment was captured beautifully, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer!"

    "Daniel was great! He made it fun, was super flexible, very thorough, gave good photo options, and rolled well with the pre-wedding time not going quite as planned. I really liked that he took photos of my guests before the wedding. That was a nice surprise in my photo gallery. We love our photos!"

    "We’ve taken family photos several times over the years, but our experience with Daniel was by far the best. From the moment we started, he guided us through every pose and detail, which completely took the stress out of the process—especially with a little one! I honestly wasn’t expecting to love the photos as much as we do, but they turned out absolutely amazing. Daniel captured our family so beautifully, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!"

    "Daniel should be your top choice when picking a photographer to capture special moments! He captured my engagement photos as well as henna party. Both sessions were drastically different environments & moments but he was able to capture them perfectly! Me and my husband don't love taking photos but Daniel eased us into it perfectly & started with warm up photos which calmed our nerves. For the henna party, he captured little moments between my family and the guests. As a bride, you aren't able to be part of all of the moments so it has been nice to go back and see what the experience was for everyone. Working with Daniel has been such a pleasure that we want to hire him for all of our events, no matter how big or small. Me and my family will continue to choose Daniel as our photographer! Highly recommend you do too"

    "I would like to recommend Daniel to anyone who wants to capture some of the most precious moments in life. Daniel and his wife were so sweet! We have a 21 month old and a 4 month old so it is really hard to coordinate, but Daniel was patient with us. Daniel made many good suggestions for locations and poses. He is very professional, but also has a wonderful personality. The photos we received were AMAZING!!!!! Words can’t express the emotions we had when we received the photos and went through them together as a family. Many tears were shed. A+++ Thank you Daniel for the most amazing forever memories you captured!!"

    Giulia M.

  • A woman with long, wavy hair holding a young child in a field of yellow flowers, with blurred yellow flowers in the foreground.

    "As a new mom, I was reluctant to do family photos because I didn't want them to be too posed or cheesy. I gave Daniel a shot and his style of taking movement photos allowed us to feel very natural and candid. We had such a great experience and love our photos. We will work with Daniel again and again to capture the love and energy of our growing family."
