About dmpfamilylife

dmpfamilylife

Photographer/Owner

I am small town guy who got hooked on photography from a photo class I took in high school. Fast forward a few years a college professor asked if I wanted to photograph a colleague's wedding and that was it, I was hooked. I loved the honest emotions, the story telling, and the sincere connection with people. Fast forward again, I have now developed an approach to a wedding where I let the day happen naturally so I can capture all of the candid moments and genuine emotions.

What sets me apart from other photographers is that I genuinely care about my couples and their day. I don't offer an overly saturated and gushy approach to weddings but rather a sincere appreciation for the relationship and the magnitude of the day. I want you to enjoy the day and the meaning behind it and do everything I can to make sure it is something you will remember forever. I offer a calm, relaxed and decisive service so you can relax knowing that you have someone looking out for your best interest on the day and through out the process. And hopefully at the end of it all you come away with awesome memories and a new friend.

    From the moment we first reached out to dmpfamilylife, Dan and was prompt, attentive, and detail-oriented with all communication. His beautiful, thoughtful photos were full of life and captured the essence and vibe of us as a couple and our wedding day perfectly. Dan made us feel prepared and comfortable throughout the entire process - from the first time we spoke and throughout our entire wedding day. We couldn't be happier with the final results. We would highly recommend dmpfamilylife to any couple looking for wedding photographers who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable. Your end result is beautiful pictures that will last a lifetime.

  • Dan: A Masterful Maestro of Memories

    Dan, our wedding photographer, is nothing short of a photographic virtuoso. From the moment we met him, we knew we had found someone extraordinary to capture the most precious moments of our special day. Dan's artistry and dedication transformed our wedding into a timeless masterpiece, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Dan possesses a rare and remarkable talent for turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. His keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of every moment left us in awe. Every photograph he took was a work of art, and each one told a story. From the candid laughter of our guests to the stolen glances between us, Dan's photos were a testament to his ability to encapsulate emotion. One of the standout qualities of Dan is his passion for his craft. It was clear that he genuinely cared about our wedding and about us as a couple. He went above and beyond to ensure that he understood our vision for the day, and he meticulously planned every shot. His friendly and calming presence made us feel at ease throughout the day, allowing us to relax and be ourselves, which ultimately resulted in more natural and authentic photographs. Working with Dan was an absolute pleasure. He was punctual, professional, and worked seamlessly with our other vendors, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. He was receptive to our ideas and suggestions while also offering his expert guidance when needed. It was clear that he was dedicated to making our day as magical as possible. Dan is not just a wedding photographer; he is a storyteller, an artist, and a true master of his craft. Choosing him as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone. Each photo was a beautiful chapter in the narrative of our day, and we will treasure them for a lifetime. Thank you, Dan, for your exceptional work and for giving us the gift of memories that will last a lifetime.

    We hired Dan for our November 2021 wedding about 18 months out (I like lots of time to slowly plan). When we started to interview photographers, Dan was very communicative. We had a wonderful phone call where he answered my dozens of questions, and we learned we had the same alma mater! Based on the phone call/email exchange and his portfolio, we hired Dan. Throughout the whole process, from hiring to delivering the final product, Dan was patient, accommodating, understanding, and very professional. His quality of work is phenomenal. We're thrilled with our photos; they're stunning. He is thorough in making sure he understands your needs for the wedding day, the flow of the day, and what pictures are important for him to capture. As the wedding day got closer, we checked in a few times to review those items. Dan was always receptive to my questions. Because the business is just Dan, the whole experience feels more intimate and special than if working with a larger photography business. He let us know the timeline of delivering our wedding photos, and he stuck to it. We booked during one of the busier times of year, so our timeline was 6 – 8 weeks, and he delivered as promised. Something I appreciate about Dan’s work is that he takes hundreds/ thousands of photos, but he doesn’t just give you a link to all of them you have to sift through 2,000 photos. He curates your wedding portfolio, culling out all the duplicates/not good ones, and gives you a beautiful package of edited photos. This is general advice to apply to anything, but if there is a specific type of photo you want, let your photographer know; no one is a mind-reader, including your photographer. I had some very specific (non-traditional) requests and Dan worked with me and our wedding party to accommodate those, weather permitting. He was always on board with my photo requests and making sure he understood what I wanted, and I really appreciated his enthusiasm and care. Also, not all photographers take time to do this during the wedding, but Dan went around to our guests’ tables to take photos of them, which was a wonderful gift to us to have more photos of our loved ones. Choosing a wedding photographer is understandably stressful; it was for me. The options are endless, and I spent hours/days researching dozens and dozens of photographers, and I had classic anxiety about making the perfect or “right” choice. Hopefully, I can save someone else the rabbit hole or researching: Dan was/is excellent. I think his price point is very competitive, and you will be glad you hired him; we absolutely are.

    Dan of dmpfamilylife took my wedding photos three years ago, and to this day, I still think choosing him as our photographer was one of the best decisions I made in planning our wedding. The photos are beautiful. Dan has a great eye for finding the perfect shots and a talent for capturing the story of the day. That was something that really impressed me when I reviewed his portfolio, and I'm happy to say that the photos he took met and even exceeded expectations. Photography skills aside, working with Dan was a great experience. He's very easy to get along with, which I think is a really important skill for someone who will be so involved in your big day. His calm but fun presence helped me get through a very stressful wedding day. And he managed to corral both of our families while still leaving a good impression on our hard to please mothers! Dan actually left such a good impression on my family that my little sister also hired him as her wedding photographer two years later! The style and venue of her wedding were totally different from mine but again, the photos were perfect. I can't recommend dmpfamilylife enough!
