INFO: WHAT THEY SAY...
These are some emails and letters that I have received from photographers, clients, couples and their family and friends.
"These photos are from my wedding and even though I was there and in them...I cry everytime! We love each other so much and every photo captures a different moment, a different feeling and a different memory that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We knew when we planned our wedding that the photographs would be the most important thing...Daniel and Lindsay we will always remember you and the beautiful photos that you created.'

Dear Daniel,
We want to thank you so very much for capturing every special moment of our wedding day.
Looking at the photos months later I still get choked up! I can’t tell you how many compliments we have gotten on the pictures, my favorite is that they are “emotional and artistic.” So true.
Besides taking wonderful pictures you were such a pleasure to work with. Nick and I literally felt like you were a close friend and we trusted you whole-heartedly. On the day of, I was a total wreck and honestly getting my picture taken was the last thing I cared about! You made it so much fun, and had a calming affect for me that day.
You are the best and we will continue to recommend you to anyone looking for a photographer!
Alison & Nick

Daniel,
Thank you so much for the amazing work you did at our wedding. Our pictures are beautiful. After looking at your previous work we were expecting a lot from our photos and we were completely blown away when we received them. There are so many shots where my husband and I turned to each other and said “when did he get that one?!” you made it so easy for us to enjoy our wedding reception while you captured every moment beautifully.
We were also amazed looking at your website at how our photos and photos of other couples were all so different. You are not just great at capturing the shot; but also capturing the mood of the wedding. There is no cookie cutter “Daniel Stark style” but there are beautiful photos of our wedding. Neither Ben nor I are the crying type but both of us got teary eyed when we watched the slideshow you put together of our wedding. You really got it. Looking at every photo I see how our wedding felt. You captured the happiness, humor, and warmth of the day in every shot.
We really enjoyed having you as a part of our wedding. You and Lindsay have such great personalities to be in this business. You were so kind and fun to work. We got to walk and hold hands as you both took so many great shots. You didn’t bat an eye or suggest we do otherwise when we told you we wanted to wait and do formal shots after the ceremony because we wanted to do things traditionally and not see one another until I walked down the aisle. It was so nice to be able to keep our wishes for how we imagined our wedding while you took care of the pictures brilliantly.
Since our wedding congratulations have gone something like this “we are so happy for you…who was your photographer? Your pictures are AMAZING!”. We’ve even had single friends who have firmly stated “I am using your photographer when I get married!” We happily recommend you to everyone who asks.
We are already planning on having you do our family portraits when we have children. You are stuck with us as clients for a long time J.
Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Alice & Ben Kintner

"Those are the most gorgeous wedding pictures I have ever seen. I love everything about them. You have such an incredible eye and a gift of creativity. Perfect settings, backgrounds, and candid shots. I really like the pin stripe suit especially with the car. They are so beautiful together. They make me happy just looking at them. It's like you are looking at professional magazine level of photographs. Wow!!
Thanks for sharing!"

"I have a marriage certification which allows me to perform weddings and Daniel always seems to be the one that people hire to take the photographs. He's like a Ninja, moving silently and invisibly around the wedding. And I have to say, I've never looked so good. Thanks Daniel!"

"As the mother of the bride, I so wanted fabulous personal photo's-not the 'stock' type and I really wanted someone who did not get in the way of the wedding. Daniel Stark did a truly remarkable job at my daughter's wedding. He was everything we hoped for and more. Very professional, creative, original, excellent quality and value! I would hire him again in a minute...well actually we are-for my youngest daughter's wedding coming up soon!
Thanks Daniel!" Lucy Parks

"Daniel shot our wedding in Bend, Oregon nearly three years ago. I still take such pleasure in looking at the photos and video that he took of our wedding day. He truly captured the essence of who we are and of our guests. Daniel is fun, courteous and very imaginative when capturing that 'perfect' moment in time. I highly recommend him for your event."

"Daniel is always willing to take his camera and go where the action is - no matter the rain, cold or mood he's in. And he captures these images full of life, each one able to tell a story that sucks you in without your even knowing it. His creativity and technical ability are obvious, making him one of the photographers I admire most and who most masters the art of seeing."
