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!

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

She not only takes amazing photos, some that have stunned me to tears, but she also helps make this an unforgettable experience. Sessions with her helped change my view on how I see myself, and have empowered me to pass on at least a shred of that to others so that they can see themselves in a different light as well. I cannot recommend this experience enough!

I reached out to Nicole very shortly before I wanted to propose which was also going to be a harsher weather period as well. I wanted a forest proposal for my now fiancé as we started our journey not too far away in Rothbury at the Electric Forest Festival. Nicole and her team made that happen for me and I couldn't have been happier. Nicole planned the entire setup and made it really easy to follow the instructions which I desperately needed step by step. We started in the forest and made our way to the freezing cold beach for pictures we will be looking at for a lifetime! It was tough but Nicole made it happen. We look forward to maybe couples pictures next time we are up there on a warmer occasion or when the wedding comes around, we will not hesitate to reach out to Nicole! Thanks again!

What a great guy to be around!…read more Paul is calm, funny, easy to talk to, and...(obviously by these reviews), a great photographer. We called only a day in advance, yet he squeezed us in after a day of THREE different photo shoots. Long day for him! Even after having so many photography jobs (and us telling him not to rush), he had our photos to us in just two days. The photos are BEAUTIFUL and most importantly, real-looking. 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!

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.
