We hired Darin for our wedding photography, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision! From start to finish, he was incredibly easy to work with. He has such a great sense of humor, which made us feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire day. His positive energy was infectious, and he knew exactly how to capture the special moments without feeling intrusive. The photos turned out amazing! He really has an eye for detail and made sure to get all the important shots while still making everything feel natural. Highly recommend Darin to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also fun and easy going!

Details: Bridal portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • I'm flexible • Digital or online download • Flash drive • My home, venue, etc.

Darin did a wonderful job with our family. He made all of our guests - spanning multiple generations - comfortable in front of the camera. He was engaging, funny, and put folks at ease. Also, the photos are GORGEOUS. We are all so grateful for Darin's efforts and talent.

Darin did our wedding photoshoot a couple of weeks ago, and we're so incredibly grateful for having worked with him! The photos came out so gorgeous!!! He was very responsive and professional the entire time, came to our first photo spot early and picked the best spots, always had great pose recommendations, took perfect posed and candid photos throughout the evening, processed and returned our photos in just 1 week... We can't recommend him highly enough! He also has a very positive upbeat energy and made the photoshoot process fun for us and our guests. And he was great to talk with. He also took photos of lots of little moments between our guests, which we missed in real life but got to see thanks to him :)) Go with Darin!! You won't regret it!!

We are so pleased with our wedding pictures!! Darin is a master of his craft. So many beautiful and elegant poses, yet he made us look so natural. He is very skilled with the camera and has a great artistic vision. Great with photo retouch. The photos are beautiful! It was a pleasure to work with a professional with a great personality.
