I am an amateur photographer so I was exceptionally critical when it came to selecting a photographer for our wedding. I researched hundreds from the Chicago area and by far Dan stood out the most. When I first talked with him he was scheduled to be at another wedding in NJ the day after so I was very disappointed to not be able to have him because no one else measured up to his creative and rich photos. After another conversation with him we were able to work out a solution for him to make both events. I couldn't be more thrilled. He takes a photojournalist approach and captures those unexpected shots that most wouldn't see. The raw shots were fantastic but what he does with the photos afterwards is nothing short of amazing. He gets an A+ in post-production work. He makes photos pieces of art. We were also able to do an engagement shoot on location with him here in Chicago and what fun and truly unique photos. By far one of the best up-and-coming photographers in the city.
