Dan is such a pro. He was great at getting our young kids to relax and have fun with the shoot. Very patient and easy going. He's got a great eye and knows how to move quick to get a good shot -- even during a chaotic family photo shoot! read more

We went with Dan for our holidays photos for the second year in a row, and were amazed that once again he somehow got our cranky toddler to smile! She hates being in pictures and was scowling and stomping her feet at the appointed time. Luckily, Dan came to the rescue and improvised by grabbing a little kid's shoe that had been left in the park and began tossing it in the air. Our daughter was delighted and began laughing and smiling! Dan is a wonderful photographer who is great at working with kids. Oh, and our photos turned out great, too! read more

My fiance and I were very lucky to have Dan shoot our engagement photos! Looking back, I'm so glad we choose him. Not only did we have tons of fun shooting, but Dan really got to know us, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. This is huge coming from me because I hate taking professional photos. He was also very laid back and was open to any suggestions or changes that we wanted to make. We were able to do a lot of creative shots in the Brooklyn Heights area. For our shoot, we completed everything in 1.5 hours. Time flew by while having so much fun. Prior to the shoot I was very concerned about the weather that day of. Dan was confident that everything would be okay, and boy was he right! As soon as we arrived, the rain stopped and the sun came out! He was definitely our good luck charm. Overall, we are so happy we decided to go with Dan. His prices are great as well! read more

Dan has done our annual family photos four years in a row and is always our first call when we realize it's already Thanksgiving and need a great shot for our holiday cards. He's easy to work with, is great with the kids, and we always get a photo we are proud of. His turnaround time has always been quick which is an added bonus. Highest recommendation. read more

Dan is the only photographers my kids work with! he has incredible patience and fun with the kids so they cooperate for nice photos, no easy feat! we work with him every time we want family pics and always thrilled with the results. read more

I've seen Dan's work over the years and always loved it! When I found out he did school photography, in addition to family shoots, weddings, special occasions, I decided to hire him for our preschool. The parents and teachers loved him! He was great with the kids and the "school" photos were amazing-- that never happens with a standard school photographer. Watching him do his thing at the preschool, I decided to hire him for my family's photos at the Brooklyn Bridge. We had the best time! He kept it casual, fun and we enjoyed the morning with him. The photos were beyond my expectations! As a parent, you hope to get just the one and you're happy... we had so many, couldn't just choose 1 or 2!!!! We will definitely be using him from now on for every occasion! Thank you Marino Photography! read more

AMAZING! Not only was he talented and prepared but lovely to work with and professional. Dan was shooting 15 year old girls, full of drama, self doubt and emotions. They loved him, he made everyone feel special and beautiful. Looking forward to using him for all photo opportunities! read more

We got to work with Dan for our fall family photo shoot. He brought a very positive presence and was able to work with our 2.5 year old while making it fun for her.( and you know they can be a mission to work with.) He had plenty of ideas working with what we had. Our session flew by before we knew it and overall it was a very relaxing and fun experience, even for the adults. Getting pictures taken no longer needs to be stiff and premeditated. Would definitely recommend him to friends. read more

Recently, we had tried reaching via email, phone and no response to date esp. when we did not get the pictures according to the package. Hoping my daughter's picture will be delivered soon... ---------- As an update, I'm giving this business the full five starts based on the customer service we received from the owner himself. He took the time to listen to our concern and provided clarity on the misunderstanding. Thank you for your help with resolving the package concern! read more

WE LOVE DAN!! How many years has it been? My oldest is now 10 & Dan is still taking her photos! He takes his time, is really great with kids and the photos are always beautiful! Til next year!!! read more

Dan was our photographer at my engagement party. I was frightfully nervous on the day meeting my all my new extended in-laws but he managed to get me to relax and we have so many wonderful photos of the party. I love Dan's photo journalistic style, and the way he captures the little moments around him, rather than focusing on posed shots. So pleased I would love to have him shoot the wedding, (even though it's in England). read more

When it came time to choose a photographer for our daughter's Sweet 16, Dan was our first and only choice. He has taken our daughter's dance pictures for years and we knew the quality and talent we would be getting. We weren't wrong, the pictures are stunning and we couldn't be happier!!! read more

Took pageant headshots for my niece and was easy to work with from start to finish. Photos won at the state and national level and I would highly recommend. read more

Amazing photographer, incredible work ethics, made everyone feel comfortable and the photos are amazing.

Most amazing photographer I've ever used!! He took pictures for my daughters prom. She was hesitant about taking professional pictures just for a prom, but the second Daniel walked in, he made her feel super comfortable!! She was relaxed and enjoyed every minute. Even jumping in the air with heels to get some incredible shots!! He has super ideas for posing and makes it super fun at the same time! Her and her prom date had the best time Taking pictures thanks to Daniel!! He has such an ease about him too- even when there's chaos all around him...He even pinned the boys boutineer for him because none of us knew how!!!!....The sneak pics he sent me look amazing. I can't wait to get all of them!....can't wait for An opportunity to use him again!!! read more

Amazing all around! Dan has photographed my children in various capacities for several years now and there hasn't been a picture that I don't like. His rapport with children is natural and he will go out of the box to get amazing shots. He truly captures their personality in every pic. My son has autism and never smiles and it's often impossible to get a good picture and Dan has done it multiple times. He's also very sensitive to flash and Dan has produced consistently amazing shots. The holiday shoot he did of my kids last year blew me away. He was able to fit is in last minute during a very busy holiday season. My kids were cranky and we only had 30 minutes but Dan worked his magic and we were able to get a beautiful shot for our Christmas card and other amazing pictures which we framed as gifts for the grandparents. Dan does it all. Our first professional encounter was when he photographed my daughter's dance studio. I loved what he did so much that I was able to convince my school PTA to use him for school picture day. He even photographed our schools fundraising gala! He was very professional from his proposal to the physical prints and everyone loved their photos. Sadly, I no longer live in the NYC area but I am considering booking with him on my trips home. I have never met a photographer that was so personable and professional and consistently produced beautiful prints that will last a lifetime. He is worth every penny and more! read more

Daniel Marino - My son's amazing school photo by Dan Marino - this looks like it belongs in a modeling portfolio. My favorite picture of my son - Event Photography Near Me

We had an Amazing experience with Dan for our maternity pictures at Central Park. He was able to make my camera shy husband enjoy the whole experience. Dan is very creative, friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Booking process was easy and he met us there right on time. Will definitely recommend his work!! read more

We've used Dan for our family pictures the past two years, and have been incredibly pleased with how they've turned out. We've used them as gifts for our extended family. Not only does Dan take amazing looking pictures, but he is also really great with kids. He's able to take what can be a chore for younger kids and make it fun. Both times we've done a session with Dan, he has been totally fine with running around with our kids and he always makes them laugh. Highly recommended! read more

Although, initially, when I visited Marino Photography I gave 5 stars, I down graded to 1 due to the fact that i was promised a CD with my pictures and that promise was not fulfilled. Having sales experience whenever I promised a customer with something I made sure I carried it out even if I lost money. You never know the referral you will get is the pot of gold. read more

Dan took our daughter's school portrait. The first set wasn't quite what we wanted, and he proved himself more than willing to work with us to get a fantastic result. She looks so natural and relaxed, and the pictures really bring out her personality. Thanks Dan! read more

Dan Marino has made my daughter's recital photos look like art for the past two years. I am so thrilled to hang these photos in my home because they do not look like your average posed dance shots. They are clearly taken by someone with a gifted eye and extraordinary talent for capturing movement. So grateful to Dan we have these gorgeous photographs of my daughter! read more

I needed professional headshots for my job. These days clients and coworkers judge you even if it's subconsciously by your media pic. I knew I was in good hands going to Dan Marino. He asked what type of look I was going for and executed it perfectly! I am very pleased and recommend him highly for your professional headshots. Dan is multitalented since in addition to this job he also photographed my family for my sons communion. We did outside pics that put a stuffy studio to shame. My kids ages 10, 8 and 5 simply adored working with Dan. I think we are going to book more events with him in the future. Book Dan Marino. You won't be disappointed! And you will have fun! read more

Got Daniel's name through a family friend who said he was great. We took our (almost) 3 year old daughter to Owl's Head Park today for a birthday photoshoot. Daniel met us at our exact meeting place and time and was super friendly! It's not easy chasing after a kid her age, but he got it done!! He let her go where she wanted and he kept up, snapping amazing pictures on the way! He kept her laughing and happy to be there the whole time! I've already received some preview pictures and they look GREAT! Looking forward to seeing the rest and will definitely call Daniel any time we need professional photoes taken! read more

Dan was incredibly professional, accommodating, and all around terrific to work with. I needed a series of headshots at the last minute and Dan delivered above and beyond my expectations. After the photo shoot, he was incredibly patient with me as I made my final picture choices, and he helped me understand that pros and cons of using certain pictures for certain purposes. All around, he was great, and I HIGHLY recommend using him. read more

I hired Dan Marino to take our 2014 Christmas pictures with my 3 children, including my very uncooperative 7 year old son. I didn't believe it was possible, but Dan was able to get some really great shots. Dan was so successful with the Christmas pictures; I had to hire him for my son's First Communion. Dan was amazing, 4 hours of picture taking and my son was completely receptive and cooperative. After the party, my son said he really liked Dan. We will be using Dan for all our family photos going forward. read more

I met Dan a year ago for my daughter's dance recital pictures. I was very happy with the outcome and decided to use him for our daughter's birthday portraits this year. I am very pleased with the results. The session itself was fun, he was very patient with her and got some great shots of her just being the happy personality she is. Thanks Dan! We've definitely found our photographer and would recommend you! read more

Dan is an amazing photographer. We have been using him for the past two years. His photos tell a story. He is fun and makes anyone he is photographing feel at ease. He captures the moment. I highly recommend Dan and his amazing staff. read more

Dan Marino at Marino Photography was great to work with from beginning to end. At our first meeting, Dan took the time not only to explain to us what kind of photographer he is and how he works but also to get an understanding of what we were looking for in our wedding photos. It was clear that he wanted to make sure that he was a good match for us--this was very encouraging and refreshing. My husband and I did not want too many photos that looked posed and unnatural. While we did want SOME posed family photos, we really wanted our wedding photos to document the candid, emotional, exciting, passionate, fun and funny moments that occurred throughout the evening. We wanted to be able to re-live our wedding day as much as possible when looking at our photos. Dan absolutely delivered on what we wanted. Because we hired him to do our engagement photos as well, knowing what we wanted to accomplish, Dan used our engagement photos session as a "rehearsal". He wanted us to get comfortable with not being overly concerned with where the camera was and inadvertently posing for the camera. It was so interesting to go through the engagement photos he took--our pictures at the end of the day were much more natural and in line with what we wanted. It was great practice for us for the big day. The pictures from our wedding day were exactly what we wanted--the first time we looked through our photos we were so happy and emotional. The images captured so many amazing moments and emotions and really brought us back to our wedding day. Overall, Dan was professional, creative, a good listener, easy to work with, responsive and fun. And, most importantly, he delivered on what he said he would and on what we wanted. I would absolutely recommend hiring Dan as your wedding photographer. read more
