Damian is family now! This is his second time capturing my important moments in my family’s lives! This event was my daughter’s prom!! He made her feel so comfortable with the poses, even suggesting some poses! His weekly check-ins is great! It makes you feel like he’s excited for your event as much as you are AND that it’s a priority for him! The quality of his work is top tier! This will definitely not be the last time we work together!

Damian went above and beyond all expectations we had for a weddingphotographer. He is charming, engaging, creative, and I firmly believe what he does is more than a job to him. We booked him on relatively short notice because of my ineptitude and procrastination, but in hindsight I think this is how things were supposed to work out, because I certainly don't think we could have done better than what Damian provided on our special day. Before the wedding, he communicated with us on a regular basis, assuring there would be no unwelcome surprises on the big day. He arrived well before the time we booked him, and he was able to thoughtfully find the perfect locations around the little chapel in which we were married to take pictures that brought out the best in both of us. He was completely flexible, understanding, and prepared when I asked him, last minute, if he could capture on video our wedding ceremony. He did so discreetly and unobtrusively, and also captured all the stills inside the chapel in the same manner. Our family and our guests loved him, and he kept all of us engaged and laughing while he took pictures outside, before and after the ceremony. After the event, Damian remained in frequent contact to make sure all was well, and provided precise deadlines on when to expect delivery of images--all of which he met or delivered early on. He made sharing our pictures easy for our friends and family, and all of them have shared with us how impressed they are with his work. I enthusiastically recommend Damian and Stop & Smile Photography for any occasion requiring keepsake pictures and video. This is a truly professional outfit, and you will not be disappointed!

We hired Stop & Smile Photography for my Husband’s 50th birthday celebration, and Damian was incredible! He managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. He captured the energy of the dance floor, the heartfelt speeches from my husband and his daughter, and all those candid laughs with friends and family. Damian has an eye for detail and was capturing moments that I missed during the night! Damian felt like family!! I HIGHLY recommend Stop & Smile Photography! You will not be disappointed! I already discussed 2 future events that I will be hiring them for!!
