His warm and welcoming demeanor makes it effortless for clients to feel comfortable in front of his camera. Our 2 year old son was smiling the entire time reacting to Dan's fun personality and the natural, playful scenes he caught us in. An absolute professional and it's been impressive watching his work & team grow since we initially connected in 2014. Well deserved for someone whose passion and love for his work comes out instantly when you meet him. Don't miss any opportunity you get to work with Dan Stewart Photography!

Dan and his team of amazing photographers and videographers were the PERFECT people to capture all…read morethe joy that our wedding brought us. Some highlights: -Dan goes out of his way to establish a relationship with you as a couple. He gets to know you, asks insightful questions, sends you gifts and messages that he shows he cares and takes your wedding seriously, and (most importantly) he does the research needed to capture your wedding in a couple-curated way. -Dan and his team are wonderful to actually have at the wedding. They're non-intrusive, fun, and helpful in ways outside of just capturing great photos and videos. All lovely people. -The actual photos and video are AMAZING. We have framed and catalogued so many of these, and are very grateful they will be with us forever. Also, we like filming and editing our own videos of life events in our free time, and even still I'm just blown away by the quality of the videos we received. They're so much fun and wonderfully produced. -While it was our least favorite part (as we felt a bit pressured by time constraints), his team that assembles our final photo album were kind and helpful and worked with us for 2+ hours to get our album to where we want it to be. Fortunately, the final product was immaculate. Can't recommend Dan and his team enough. They are caring professionals who made our wedding that much more special. Brad & Rachel

I have had Diane do the senior pictures for both of my children. She photographed my son three years ago. He is a bit shy and really did not want to get his picture taken, but in a matter of moments, Diane had him relaxed and really enjoying the experience. I couldn't have been happier with the end results. She photographed my daughter just last fall. Again, she had a way of getting her to relax and really enjoy the session. Diane had us smiling and laughing, while she efficiently went about her work. She encouraged us to pick some locations and then was able to be creative in using the backgrounds in a most interesting way. Once again, the results were beautiful. I am happy to recommend Diane to photograph your special occasion. She is professional, personable, creative and affordable. I think that you will enjoy the experience and the end results as much as I have.

We began a strong work relationship and it didn't take long to develop into a genuine friendship. Micheal makes a great teammate; I had a tendency to shoot with no end in site and Michael was great at managing time and also conceptualizing idea's on the fly. Bringing the whole package to the table, Michael is one of the few creatives I have met who is equally talented in art direction and photography, possessing a diverse knowledge in all of the various photographic genres. Extremely easy to be around, smart and efficient with creative endeavors, I always look forward to working with Michael.

Instead of doing a lot of editing, he used the natural light during the photo shoot to our advantage and I was wowed when I ended up liking every photo he'd taken. Would definitely recommend!

Rayan gave us an experience we will never forget during our engagement session and her presence on our wedding day was exactly the kind of support we needed. We could not imagine anyone else navigating the day so closely with us. Rayan's work ethic and creativity is unrivaled, words honestly can't express how incredible her talent and personality are. We will always go to Rayan for life's precious moments. If you're thinking about meeting her for your wedding, do it. You won't be disappointed.
