Daniel McGarrity Photography

Daniel was the best investment we made for our wedding by far. He was very friendly and knew how to communicate efficiently to our family, friends and especially to us. He takes the time and makes sure everything we wanted was captured and also other pictures we didn’t even know we wanted. He is very creative in the ways he took pictures and we liked every picture we had.

Even though he is just our photographer, he helped in every aspect during the day of. He gave us suggestions on where we should go to eat, where to take pictures, EVERYTHING. During our sessions, he showed so much excitement every time we took a good picture. This is something everyone should seek in their photographer, because it shows his passion in his work, and you can expect nothing but the best pictures.

Also as a note, my husband hates to smile during pictures, especially since he cannot smile where it does not look forced. He found ways to where he was able to make the pictures look more natural and got ways where it didn’t make my husband look awkward.

We especially liked that the pictures were natural and not staged. We didn't want a photographer to tell us to pretend to do something just to get a good picture. Daniel made everything come natural.

I cannot emphasis on how creative he was/is. He plays color schemes with perfection. We didn’t first understand why he told us to avoid some colors for our engagement pictures until we actually saw the pictures.. THEY WERE GREAT!!!

For everyone who is looking for a photographer for any occasion, just a piece of advice. Events only last for a moment, but pictures last a lifetime. Do not skimp on your photographer, you will truly regret that decision. You will not be disappointed with the quality and professionalism Daniel brings to his work.

Also, his...

My fiancé HATES having his picture taken. So when we decided to get married and he knew that he was going to just have to suck it up for an entire day, a great photographer was on the top of my list. It was the only day, possibly in my entire life, where my fiancé was forced to have pictures taken and I wanted them to look freaking awesome. I needed a great photographer who had a calm and likeable but assertive manner.
To make things more difficult, we got married in Maryland but live in Seattle. Daniel was very responsive through phone/email so my mom and I met him. If you have a mom who enjoys being involved Daniel is a true pro at handling Moms- they’ll love him. Daniel was the only photographer I met with and it was enough that we booked him right there.
I often shut down when I feel overwhelmed. Daniel was very understanding and did a great job calming and reassuring me.
Somehow I “convinced” my fiancé to get engagement pictures (it involved a birthday request and some tears). Daniel flew to Seattle and shot some really great pictures. I’m so glad because it gave my fiancé a chance to get to know Daniel and be comfortable. We went to 4 different spots and took many different types of photos. Having the engagement session allowed me to figure out what type of photographs I prefer. I was a little surprised to find that I like more formal photos. Daniel was really good about incorporating this in our wedding photos by taking some gorgeous formal ones.
The wedding day was awesome and he captured the event, the feelings, and the atmosphere so well. He saved the day by whipping out a pair of Leatherman pliers when my dress zipper got seriously stuck. He also provided an impromptu cake-cutting lesson… who knew cutting a tiered cake was so involved. He blended in so well. I never noticed him unless I wanted to. He took some really gorgeous and amazing photos that I will always cherish and everyone who has seen them agrees. I highly recommend him!

Daniel was great! Any questions that I ever had he was quick to respond and knew the answer! Also, he is very experienced and knew when to guide me in a different direction. He was framiliar with our venue for engagment pictures and ceremony/reception. Also, he allowed for ideas and suggestions. The best thing about Daniel was the timely manner we received our photos. I think the engagment photos were within two weeks and the wedding pictures within a month (which is a great time). When looking for a photographer make sure you get the copyrights to all your pictures!!! Daniel gives you all the photos on a flash drive as well as the beautiful book which you get to make with him and pick the pictures YOU want!!! Seriously, he is great and everyone loved him! His personality and creative thinking really made our pictures amazing! Check out his blog!

What can I say about Daniel? He is amazing! We interviewed several photgraphers during the wedding planning process and none of them compared to Daniel. At our initial meeting, Daniel made us feel very comfortable and we knew right away that he was the one for the job. He showed us albums from previous weddings he serviced and the pictures were breath taking. Through the whole process Daniel was very quick to get back to us if we had any questions. He was also very flexible throughout the whole process. On the day of the wedding, Daniel was on time and brought his assistant Andrew, who was a great addition. Daniel hung out with the girls while we got ready and was great with my god daughter, the flower girl! He even had a few supplies that we needed, like double sided tape and scissors! My husband and I decided that we wanted to do a first look. I was so nervous before I walked to see my groom, but Daniel was very reassuring and supportive, which eased my nerves a great deal. The first look turned out great and we are so glad we decided to do it! Daniel was great with the bridal party and was able to direct us with ease, and get lots of laughs out of us. He was great during the reception and got along great with the guests. At the end of his time when Daniel told us he was leaving, I was sad to see him go! I even told him he could stay and enjoy the rest of the reception! Poor guy was probably exhausted! Overall, I could just not say enough good things about Daniel. I am so happy we chose him as our wedding photographer!

Daniel is a phenomenal photographer! And a wonderful person too! As soon as we met with him the first time, we knew he was the photographer for us. He is professional, talented and creative and very fun to work with. I cannot recommend the engagement photos enough … my husband and I weren’t originally planning to do them, but Daniel convinced us and it was one of the best decisions we made! I left the engagement shoot, which we did in Fells Point, thinking “Our wedding photos will be beautiful and we are going to love having Daniel there on the big day!” That kind of peace of mind for a bride … priceless! On the wedding day he was fantastic … he kept my husband and I calm, kept everyone on schedule, kept the little kids laughing and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly … including going to find the DJ when I got worried that the DJ had the wrong version of our father-daughter song. Daniel made sure we were his number one priority the whole day … he made sure we could relax and enjoy ourselves. And the photos … the photos are incredible! I don’t know how we’ll ever decide which ones to put in the album! We did photos with the bridal party in the Hampden area after the wedding … those photos would be better defined as art than as wedding pictures! They are gorgeous. I smile every time I look at our wedding photos. In 50 years, when the edges of our memories of our wedding day are starting to get a little fuzzy … we are so glad that we will be able to look back on Daniel’s photos and relive every beautiful moment of our special day! If you’re looking for a photographer to capture the “feeling” of your day, the moments big and small, the joy and antics of all your guests … I can’t imagine finding anyone better than Daniel!

Daniel did our engagement pictures as well as our wedding. He was punctual(early, actually), professional and really made our wedding. He made us feel natural and it showed in our pictures. :)Everyone loved our pictures!!!

When choosing a wedding photographer, it's important to hire someone that your personalities mesh with. We interviewed several different photographers and as soon as we met Daniel we knew he was the right fit for us. He has a fun personality and he is a very knowledgeable and talented photographer. We had never hired a photographer before so we were not sure the questions to ask, or what we needed to know. Daniel took over and was so helpful and informative about what it would be like on our wedding day, and what we needed to consider in hiring a photographer. He is very good at what he does, and he obviously enjoys it.
We had an engagement session with him and that's when we realized what a professional he really is. He made those awkward kissy poses seem natural for us and he really captured quality photographs. We were extremely happy with our engagement pictures and knew that our wedding pictures would be even better......and they were!
Daniel is very prompt, in fact whenever we had an appointment with him, he was always there early, waiting for us. A nice perk with Daniel's package is that he will visit your wedding venue with you before your wedding to scope out good spots for photos. This was important for us and it really helped on the wedding day to make the most of our time. We enjoyed our time with him and he even made the time to sit down and chat, and share a bottle of wine with us at the vineyard to get to know us.
On our wedding day, Daniel was a true professional and made us feel very comfortable. After your ceremony is a special time to just be together by yourselves for pictures and Daniel captured our love in those photos. Not only was Daniel great when dealing with us, but he excelled in dealing with all the different personalities in our wedding party. He was able to control the group, even after a night of drinking, and captured great pictures. Daniel has special tricks he uses in order to make people do things or act certain ways to make the pictures look like they're candid. We also received compliments from the owner of our venue about how great Daniel was to work with.
As far as price....you get what you pay for. Photography was not something we wanted to skimp on, because these pictures will last forever. Daniel offers competitive prices and really does an amazing job, taking his time with you and knowing what your personalities are like. Our engagement and wedding pictures were so good, our friends were jealous. We would recommend Daniel to anyone and we are grateful he was our wedding...

When planning a wedding you have approximately 3,504,675.8 decisions to make. At some point you will have a minor (or major) breakdown and be totally overwhelmed by all the choices in each category (flowers, the dress, the hair, the bridal party, and the list goes on).

Let me make one choice a little easier for you. A good friend gave me this advice: the photos are what you will have forever. The flowers wither, the dress never gets worn again, the food gets eaten- therefore your most important vendor is your photographer.

Daniel McGarrity is basically a superhero. Seriously- ask him to unbutton his shirt and take off his glasses and see what happens.

He dealt with our crazy family, made everyone comfortable and produced hundreds of pics that are beautiful beyond words. He captured the day- every little detail and every special moment- with perfect elegance. Most importantly- he captured the “feel” of our wedding. I look thru my album and recall exactly how the emotions of the day unfolded: excitement, nervousness, some tears, and lots of laughs.

Our ceremony pictures are especially impressive since he documented the entrance, the vows, the kiss, etc, but I never even noticed him in the room. There was no annoying click and flash of the camera. It’s like he was invisible yet he was able to capture each special detail. That takes talent!

He took the time to get to know us and knew going into the day what we anticipated and how he could facilitate getting everyone together. His price was totally fair (especially compared to other DC area photographers who were total overpriced snobs) and I would have paid three times the amount he charged for the amazingness we got.

Do yourself a favor and meet this guy, see his work and then hire him immediately! Happy planning!

Daniel is funny and professional. He put us at ease (which says a lot for my anti-photoshoot husband) and was great to work with. He did our engagement photos, and then made our guestbook with shots from that session. It was beautiful! We got lots of compliments from our family and friends. We are looking forward to getting our wedding album.

Daniel was great! He was extremely responsive and professional. He took the time to find out what we wanted, and make great suggestions of his own as well. He did the photography for our wedding, as well as an engagement session. The pictures turned out amazing, as did the prints and coffee table book. We loved working with him, and so did our guests.

There are not enough words to describe Daniel McGarrity of Daniel McGarrity Photography. From the moment my husband and I first met Daniel, when he insisted on meeting at our house or another nearby location, rather than some stuffy office, Daniel made us feel comfortable. He assured us that every shot that we would want would be captured. Little did we know that that would involve outdoor pictures in the middle of a hurricane, but more on that later.



As friends advised us, it is imperative to choose a photographer that you truly enjoy being around, otherwise when you are tired, hungry, and stressed, the last thing that you will want to do is smile for your photographer. Daniel has an amazing rapport. Not only with us, but also our guests, and it shows in the pictures. So many of our guests came up to us after the wedding to say how wonderful Daniel was and that they wanted to hire him for their special occasions. Daniel is so engaging and managed to put even those who don’t enjoy having their picture taken (me included) at ease. There are no phony smiles in any of the pictures; everything is natural.



Daniel is also one of the most creative photographers we have ever met. Though he still gets the standard family pictures and some table shots if you want them, Daniel is a true artist. He knows how to pose his subjects and take advantage of various architectural features to take one-of-a-kind shots. For example, the shot of my husband and my leaning up together kissing in front of a long hallway full of columns was spectacular. As was the shot of us in the elevator at night leaving the reception.



Now, back to those outdoor shots in the middle of Hurricane Irene. We thought that Hurricane Irene’s surprise appearance had thrown our entire plan for outdoor pictures, well, out the door. But Daniel, who is quick on his feet and extremely creative, gave us a clear umbrella with an attached spotlight and asked us to walk out into the hotel courtyard. The resulting image of the two of us alone in the pitch black courtyard with a light shining down on us and slightly illuminated rain drops all around us was amazing. We didn’t get too wet and have one of the most beautiful pictures we could imagine.



We are so happy Daniel was able to celebrate our wedding with us and capture our special day with fun and unmatched creativity.

Daniel is the most creative photographer we have ever met. From start to finish, Daniel was very easy to work with. He responds to emails, phone calls, etc. right away! There was never a time from our engagement to wedding that I didn't rave about how awesome our photographer is. We first met Daniel at a bridal expo and he had a HUGE crowd around him. The reason - his personality. Daniel is so outgoing, and funny he drew us right in. We have a difficult family and knew with a personality like that he was perfect!!! Daniel concentrates only on what is most important - the bride and groom. He went out of his way to make sure our wedding day was amazing and we had a good time. He truly cares about his clients and it shows. There is absolutely nothing bad I can say about Daniel. All I can say is he is amazing, outstanding and we are lucky to have met him!

My bride Jennie and I could not have been happier with Daniel. He is the perfect blend of fun and business to work with on what can be a stressful day. From the moment we contacted him during the "search" for a photographer for our wedding we knew he was the one. We really cannot say enough good things about him, but we will try!

Daniel works hard at what he does and it shows, his images are spectacular and his fun/playful yet deliberate method is refreshing. It is clear he knows what he is doing. We have now seen the shots from our big day and we could not be happier. His artistic vision really shows through in his images and goes way beyond the typical wedding photos with more than a few that push into the realm of fine art. Full disclosure, I myself am a photographer and looking back I don't think we could have made a better choice for our wedding photographer.

Do yourself a favor, at least meet with this guy, once you do you will be hooked!

We were very pleased with Daniel's coverage of our daughter's wedding. He was easy to work with and got all of the different photos we asked for. I would use him again.

We interviewed several photographers for our wedding, but when we met Daniel, we knew our search was over he was so friendly, charming and funny and we knew that we wanted to be around a person like that on our wedding day. When we got our pictures back we were so pleased, the pictures were AMAZING!!! He captured all the right moments we didn’t even remember him taking certain pictures. Daniel‘s pictures really told the story of our wedding day and I am finding it hard to decide what pictures I want to print because they are all so great. Daniel's personality is great he is funny and he is all about making sure the bride is calm and happy. When my bridal party and I were getting ready to leave for the ceremony the limo had not arrived and we could not reach my wedding coordinator to find out the status. Before I could even get freaked out Daniel had went down stairs and asked the hotel if we could us their shuttle to take us to the ceremony. Because of Daniel's quick thinking my wedding started on time. I cannot say enough about Daniel he was accommodating in every way and I cannot wait to do additional family and maternity pictures with him. Our wedding was beautiful and I am so happy to have such gorgeous pictures to help us remember our day for years to come. If you go with Daniel you can NOT go wrong.

From the moment that we met Daniel, we knew that we wanted him to be our photgrapher; and after getting our pictures back today, we know we made the right decsion! The pictures were AMAZING!!! He captured all the right moments of the day, and tears sprung to my eyes looking at the pictures as I thought back to all our special moments. He's not your average photographer who is going to stage poses for your album. He's going to capture the feeling you want to have years down the line as you look at your pictures and think back to how incredible you felt that day.
Aside from all of that...Daniel is very responsive, we had our pictures back within 2 weeks. He's incredibly flexible, he drove 3 hours just to do our engagement session! He also worked the reception and formal pictures very professionally. We really appreciated all of his time and effort :)

I do not think we could have selected a better photographer. Everything went just as planned and the pictures were fantastic. Daniel was a complete professional and made all of us fell at ease. From scheduling to execution everything went completely as planned. Everything that was discussed was delivered and we could not be any happier.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Daniel who photographed our engagement shoot and wedding day. If you don't have time to read the detailed comment below, just know that he is professional, highly talented, warm/friendly and funny, flexible in that he works with your schedule and location, and he knows his stuff!! You can trust that he will do an amazing job on your big day and you won't have to worry about a thing.

FIRST MEETING/HIRING: We found out about Daniel from "The Knot" wedding magazine, where he had been listed/rated as one of the best photographers in the DC, MD, and VA area. I called and left a message to meet with Daniel and he promptly returned my called and a meeting was set soon thereafter. When I arrived at his studio, I was warmly greeted, given an overview of his services, and shown examples of his work. From looking at wedding albums that he actually shot and listening to him talk, it was obvious that he had a ton of experience and was very good at job. His pictures were amazing. I signed the contact the same day.

ENGAGEMENT SHOOT- Going into the process, I didn't know much about engagement shoots and was therefore not particularly interested in having one. After Daniel explained that while they are not necessary, the shoot serves as "practice" for the day of the wedding. In other words, it provides a chance for the couple to get used to (and comfortable with) taking pictures with a professional photographer and becoming acquainted with your wedding day photographer. I took Daniel's advice and he couldn't have been more right. Not only did my husband and I get to know Daniel ahead of the wedding, we also had AMAZING pictures and memories that came out of the experience. My husband even showed off the pictures to his friends and family -- and if you knew my husband, you would know that this was unusual, but he was really proud of the pictures.

Did I mention that Daniel traveled from DC to NY (where my and my husband live) for the engagement shoot?? He also arrived a couple hours early to scope out the neighborhood beforehand, so that when our meeting time arrived he knew exactly where to take us to get the BEST pictures in the area (i.e., the brooklyn bridge, a near by park, etc).

WEDDING DAY: Daniel shot our wedding day along with two of his assistants who were wonderful as well. The pictures that he took reflected the day, which was absolutely flawless and breathtaking. My husband and I just recently met with Daniel to pick out the pictures for the album and it was sooooo hard to choose the pictures because they were all amazing. I swear after clicking through each of the 2200 pictures he took I said, "ooooo, that's a nice one!!" Our parents and friends ended up contacting Daniel to purchase albums and pictures of their own because they were that amazing and high quality.

I could go on and on, but there's only so many ways I can articulate how pleased me and my husband were with having Daniel as our photographer. The wedding day goes by so fast so it's crucial that couples have quality pictures (that capture everything) to remember the day. Our families and guests, along with the bridal party, all commented on how friendly and funny Daniel was -- which is so important to have because he contributed to the joy and flow of the day in more ways than simply taking pictures. When my limo driver couldn't find the entrance to pick me and the bridesmaids up to go to the church, Daniel was on the phone with him within a second to give him directions so it was one less thing we had to worry about.

My husband and I are both very busy lawyers in nyc, so we needed a photographer who we could trust to get the job done, and done well, without us having to look over his shoulder. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer or a more enjoyable experience, and we promise you will not be disappointed either! :)

I cannot say enough great things about Daniel McGarrity; 5 stars are not enough! He is an amazing photographer, who has such a wonderfully, artistic eye. The pictures I\'ve seen so far of our wedding are fantastic, and I cherish them so much. Daniel was great to work with before the wedding - he is easy going, and he and my husband got along really well (TIP - ladies, you want your husbands-to-be to be comfortable with your photographer, the pictures will turn out best if he is!). We had such a fun time at our engagement session and got some excellent shots. Daniel created a sign-in book for our wedding with the pictures from the engagement shoot, which everyone loved! Our wedding was beautiful and I am so happy to have such gorgeous pictures to help us relieve the day. \r\n

Daniel McGarrity was a great photographer. We actually ended up ditching another photographer for him because he was very personable and was flexible on price. The entire wedding party and family loved him on the wedding day as he was very interactive with everyone. The pictures turned out great and we just met with him to make final selections for the photo album. He has a great creative flair that will make our albulm unique. We consider Daniel now a friend and look forward to hiring him for maternity, baby, and ultimately family pictures in the years to come. In addition to being a great photographer, he also played the role of wedding coordinator when the buttons on my dress were very hard to button...he had an extra crochet needle and coached my Man of Honor and Mom thru the process.

A bride and groom place an exorbitant amount of trust in their photographer on their wedding day to capture memories meant to last a lifetime. Given the unique circumstances of my brother’s wedding, the stakes were even higher than usual.

This past October was an emotional roller coaster for my family. While I was thrilled for my brother to be committing himself to his bride, my happiness for him was marred by fear and uncertainty. Just months before the wedding, he permanently lost vision in one of his eyes as a product of Type I Diabetes. As a result of complications from the surgery to save his other eye, we learned that he would not be able to see anything more than vague shapes on his wedding day.

With this, the task of photographer Daniel McGarrity became not merely to capture the moments of the event, but to do so in a way that when my brother regained his vision, that he would be able to visually experience his wedding day for the first time; to fill in the gaps of what he could only surmise was happening around him as he struggled to find his way in the darkness and shadows his vision provided. Over and above the usual wedding day hubbub of helping to cut out extraneous bridesmaid dress straps and providing double-sided tape, Daniel offered a level of compassion, sensibility, and understanding that was beyond comforting. Beyond skillfully directing hordes of relatives through the formal shots and the like, he approached our situation with a sense of humor and charm that helped everyone feel more at ease.

I can most simply describe the images from the wedding as stunning. The photographs read like a compilation of stolen moments, with candid shots of the ecstatic couple beaming at each other, and family and friends basking in their admiration of the newlyweds. Daniel creatively and artfully tells the story not only of the wedding day, but of the love that my brother Vince and his wife Stacey share.

Since the wedding, and in true happy ending fashion, Vince’s vision has improved tremendously. The sadness I felt in my heart for my brother and his condition dissipated as I pored over hundreds of images from their day, which clearly evidenced a beautiful, honest, and sincere love story.

I met Daniel at a Bridal Showcase - where there were dozens of photographers. He stood apart from all of them!! How? Instead of shoving an album in my face, he took the time to talk with me and my mother. He was incredibly nice and something about him, immediately made me think, "This is my photographer!" After my husband and I met with him, we signed right away! Our photos from the engagement shot and wedding day were BEAUTIFUL and perfect! As I looked at all the photos I was crying happy tears! Not only is he a wonderful photographer but he knows all the tricks of the trade. I would HIGHLY recommend Daniel to everyone!!

I don't even know where to begin. From the moment my fiancé and I saw Daniel at a bridal show, we were instantly won over by his talent, enthusiasm and character. We had arranged an engagement session with him a month later in Old Town Alexandria and we had such an incredible time wandering the streets and finding the perfect little nooks that made our photos incredible. It's always a little strange to have someone take your picture while kissing but Daniel is as funny as he is disarming and it made the afternoon totally comfortable.

Our wedding was even more amazing. Daniel arrived early and helped my husband set up the chuppah since we were running a little behind time. He was there photographing every important moment and had everyone (including myself) in stitches. When you are practically shaking with nerves and excitement, I can't tell you what a relief it was. It was also hugely helpful to have him keep everyone focused and on target. Family photos have the tendency to get disorganized with so many people and Daniel took right over and helped us get in and out so we could enjoy the cocktail hour.
We scarcely noticed him the rest of the evening but we discovered just how much of the wedding he actually captured when we saw his blog the next day, (NEXT DAY brides! Do you know how rare that is?). My favorite photos were ones I had no idea he took!

Daniel is phenomenal and I hope you consider him for the most important day of your life. He is well worth it.

Daniel McGarrity did an excellent job at our wedding. To start, Daniel showed up hours early for the event, which proved to us that he is extremely reliable. During our formal photography sessions, he truly listened to our suggestions and requests, and he was willing to be flexible to meet our needs. Throughout the ceremony, dinner, and reception we barely noticed that he was there, but he seemed to capture every important moment of the evening. He even added a nice touch by showing the pre-ceremony photography on his iPad beside our personalized guest book (both of which got rave reviews from our guests). In addition to all this, our wedding venue was so impressed with his photography that they asked his permission to use his work from the evening in their own advertisement forums.

We were very glad to have chosen Daniel McGarrity as our photographer, and we definitely recommend him for your wedding or special event.

Words cannot express how much of an excellent person Daniel is!!! And yes, I said person, because he is much more than just a photographer. Daniel has been taking photos of us for nearly a year, including 2 engagement, maternity and newborn sessions/pictures. The pictures speak for themselves!! In the past, my husband was the typical man who just stood in front of the camera with no emotion and a stern face. But after working with Daniel, he LOVES the pictures of himself, and even smiles in most of them!!! He has a niche and is remarkably talented in capturing those moments that embody happiness and love! And for most people it can be quite challenging to be comfortable taking pictures, it was for me! He gives you guidance to help you to become comfortable in front of the camera. After a few minutes, its as if you don’t even realize he’s their capturing one of the most important moment in your life! So for me when I think of Daniel McGarrity, of course AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER tops my list, but a close second, is a great person and friend! For all of those brides-to-be looking for a photographer, one meeting and/or photo session with Daniel and you’ll be sold!

Daniel is an amazing photographer. He loves weddings. We liked him the first time we met him. We were very impressed with his work and his candid shots. He really got us comfortable in front of the camera with our engagement photos, which turned out great. I had two ceremonies, a Cambodian one and a "white dress" one before our reception. He came early in the morning and was with us through the night. He worked great with my photo crazed family. He got the shots that he needed and let them get the shots that they wanted as well. He took us to D.C. and got some really nice pictures there as well. We are very happy with Daniel, he has a great personality which was important to us. We are going to met with him to purchase and album from him and from what we saw of the others, they seem really, really incredible. We can't wait to get our own.

We had Daniel for the engagement session and his partner Chris for the Ceremony. They are both great to work with. Chris did an excellent job of capturing things that I did not even know he was photographing. He has an eye for detail, the best thing you can do is just do your thing and let them capture it, don't try and dictate what you think you want-they already know! We got a combination of formals and candids and he did a fantastic job.
One other thing I really liked about them is how quickly they responded to my inquiries. Daniel responded almost immediately to my initial inquiry and phoned within the hour. Everytime I have to email him he responds quickly and is very personable.

Daniel was definitely a great choice for photographer for our wedding! He has a warm personality, is easy to talk to, and does and says the right things to get the best photos. We booked Daniel over a year before the wedding, and he shot our engagement photos as well. Although the wedding was in Alexandria, VA, he gladly drove up to our home just north of Philadelphia to meet with us two weeks before the wedding to work out the final details.

Our wedding day was WONDERFUL due to Daniel's work. He was already at the church when the bridesmaids and I arrived. We had a blast laughing with Daniel while he took photos of us getting ready. He lightened the mood and kept me from breaking down. My favorite was him telling me I looked horrible and ugly in my dress, just so that I would laugh instead of cry. After the ceremony, we breezed through the formals at the altar due to his preparation ahead of time. We got some fantastic photos with the wedding party after the formals. Daniel's creativity and eye for unique photos added a lot to our memories. Even our guests let us know how great he was.

While on our honeymoon, we were thrilled to receive an email from Daniel with a link to his blog with a sampling of his favorite photos from our wedding. He even posted the link on my Facebook page for family and friends to see. We made a special trip to the business center of our condo in Maui just to look at all the 800+ photos Daniel took. Some of the moments he was able to capture on camera were incredible!

Although his cost is a bit more than other photographers we met with, you definitely get what you pay for! I cannot wait to get started creating our wedding album with his fabulous photos. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Daniel McGarrity for your special event! We absolutely LOVED the outcome of choosing him!

Daniel was AMAZING from Day 1. I was pretty sure that he would be the one when he offered to meet me "any day or night" for an initial consultation. I am a busy busy working woman, living in Charlottesville, Virginia, and I needed flexibility in my vendors to pull this wedding off. I was SURE he would be the one when he sat down with me to review my crazy Bollywood Indian wedding...and knew more about the series of events than I did!

Our engagement shoot was easy, comfortable, and produced beautiful pictures that Daniel turned into the "talk-of-the-town guest book." The wedding weekend shoot was...well...i just don't have words (but I do have beautiful pictures)!

I have never heard so many Indian folks compliment "that nice white photographer" about everything: his charm, sincerity, knowledge and respect for indian customs, and of course, his obvious talent. He completely won over our families, and that's not easy to do!

I recommend Daniel to any bride: indian, white, black, latina, with only one hesitation...I'm selfish and am sad that he won't be my personal photography secret!

Our engagement shoot was easy, comfortable, and produced beautiful pictures that Daniel turned into the "talk-of-the-town guest book." The wedding weekend shoot was...well...i just don't have words (but I do have beautiful pictures)!

I have never heard so many Indian folks compliment "that nice white photographer" about everything: his charm, sincerity, knowledge and respect for indian customs, and of course, his obvious talent. He completely won over our families, and that's not easy to do!

I recommend Daniel to any bride: indian, white, black, latina, with only one hesitation...I'm selfish and am sad that he won't be my personal photography secret!

Daniel was amazing and we absolutely love our pictures. Daniel even had a handfull of pictures up on his blog (along with a great blog entry including a fun synopsis of our event!) on the same night as our wedding! When we got back from our honeymoon, he had over 1200(!!) of our pictures loaded onto a password protected website that we (and family/friends) could access and view our pictures on. He then sent us a flashdrive (along with all of the physical prints and albums we will be getting!) with all of the pictures!

Everyone, including other vendors (the ladies running the show at the Naval Academy chapel, our reception planner), members of the bridal party, family members and guests, commented on how much they enjoyed working with Daniel. He knew all of the details, came prepared and ready to do whatever needed to be done and captured all of the special moments from the day...including when our ring bearer needed to have a tooth pulled!

Overall, Daniel was a great addition to our wedding. He was so fun to have around - he made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and because of it, all of the pictures he took are beautiful. He was social, friendly and outgoing while also being completely professional. His photo-journalistic style was just what we wanted and the engagement session that he includes in all of his packages allowed us to get to know him and loosen up in front of the camera!

If I was planning my wedding all over again, I would do a few things differently. One thing I wouldn't change is my photographer and I highly recommend him! I am so happy that Daniel was our photographer and that we get to have the images he captured in our home forever. I cannot wait to get the albums and prints - in the meantime, we have the hard job of choosing which pictures to include (they're all amazing!).

I've read the reviews and I completely ditto everything other brides have said. The photos were absolutely fabulous! Daniel was great to work with, has a stellar personality that we and all the guests loved, and even went into the Chesapeake Bay in his swim trunks to get the perfect shot!! Now we have shots that could be put in a wedding magazine. He also helped us out with navigating the wedding day, from cutting the cake to how to fix my hair and teaching tricks such as the importance of double sided tape. It's obvious that he is dedicated to making this YOUR day and capturing the emotions and candid shots! I'm not sure how he does it, but you won't even notice he's there during the reception and ceremony. The wedding day flew by in the blink of an eye and it was the happiest day of my life, now I've got the photos to help me live the magic of the day! I highly recommend him if you want the best wedding photos and the price is very reasonable, especially given the quality.

The best vendor I delt with by far!! My wedding was so much beter because of him! He has such a great personality. He makes everyone smile and truly creates a picture perfect atmosphere! I just got my wedding pictures back and they all look amazing! All of our friends told us how astonished they were by how well all the pictures turned out. Many said they were the best wedding pictures they have ever seen. A reporter from the Washington Post some how stumbled across Daniel's blog about our wedding and did an article in the on love section about us!
I can not say enough good things about Daniel! No one else could come close to measuring up!
He was priced a bit more than what I wanted to spend on a photographer - but knowing what I know now I would pay even more! Not only do you get full coverage on your wedding day- but you also get an engagment session and a bridal shoot just for the bride to spoil her just a little bit more!

Daniel took amazing shots! We met at a friend’s wedding and followed up with a meeting with him at Corner Bakery to discuss our upcoming wedding plans. We had the meeting in our neck of the woods, so right off the bat, he was accommodating. The selection and pricing in packages he had were a perfect fit for what we were looking for and at a very competitive price. He also brought hardcopy samples and his computer to show us more which was very helpful.

After quickly getting paperwork out of the way, we started off with an engagement session at a winery in Middleburg. We wanted a location with a country/rustic feel. The photos that he came back with were wonderful and a perfect mix of what we were looking for – artistic, with great scenery, and fun.

During full fledge wedding planning mode, we received helpful tips from Daniel to get organized. He was extremely attentive, returns your call and/or email immediately is the word that I will use here and remembers everything. For us, it was important to get coordinated, logistics and timetable wise, since we had a few locations involved with the big day: the ceremony was in Old Town, Alexandria with a reception in D.C. Prior to the ceremony, the bride and bridesmaids even got shots strolling around a few areas in Old Town away from the church site. Needless to say, we had great locations and a fun wedding party/guests but without a fabulous photographer, those memorable moments would not have been captured.

Check that off our list! Our shots are postcard quality and we had so many gorgeous ones to choose from. Hands down, this was a wonderful experience. What else could you ask for.

Daniel shot my engagment pictures and they turned out really nice. i wanted to shoot in DC but need a permit in order to do so. Daniel knew of alternative spots around DC where a permit wasn't needed so he saved me a goo 200 bucks. Once shooting was over he but all 700 pictures in black in white, color, and sepia. He was fun, professional and made you feel relaxed while shoot. You use him again!

Daniel was great throughout the whole planning process and the day of our wedding. He was so easy to work with and gave great advise. Several bridal party members and guests have been bragging about what an awesome photographer we had. The package we got offers a lot at a reasonable price. I havent seen all the wedding pictures yet but im sure they will be great. Based on the engagement picture we got from Daniel and the slide show of some of the wedding pictures he sent us, I have no doubt that they will be great. I would highly recommend using Daniel for your special day.

Daniel is a dream.

My fiancee, now husband, and I are not "camera people". Despite our usual outgoing personas, the camera brings out the worst in us. We clam up, become uncomfortable - anything and everything you dont want photographed and preserved for posterity.

Daniel brought out the absolute best in us. He made us feel at ease. He had all these little tricks and ways to make us forget he was there. All the while, he is snapping, snapping, snapping. Daniel captured our story. And more importantly, captured us in a way that was real.

We used Daniel initially for an engagement photo session, but were so pleased with the product we received, we also hired him to photograph the wedding. I recently saw the proofs of the wedding day, and Daniel, once again, hit the mark. He was fantastic... and the pictures prove it time and time again...

Daniel is an amazing photographer with an unbelievable talent to capture photographs that tell a story. This is something every Bride wants to see when they receive their wedding photos. With so much going on it is hard to remember everything that happened on your special day especially things that you may not have even seen. The photos capture feeling and emotions which allow you to relive the moment all over. Daniel also makes the best out of what some Brides may say is the worst situation� rain! It rained on our wedding day, but Daniel has a way about him that kept everyone calm and laughing; some of my favorite photos are the impromptu shots in the Bridal Suite with our wedding party. Needless to say, my husband and I were very pleased with our photos and Daniel�s work. He photographed both our engagement session and wedding and captured memories that will last a lifetime.

I couldn't be happier with our wedding photos. The wedding seems like it was much longer ago than just a month, but I can't help but smile when I look at our pictures. They just put me in a good mood. Working with Daniel was as simple as pie; he is as talented as the pictures are beautiful, if not more. He knew how to make everyone relax, the angles to use to get some incredibly unique shots, and how to capture the feeling of that day. We had a great time during our engagement session, which really allowed us to get to know Daniel, and enjoyed having him as part of our wedding day. I can't wait to work with him to make our album that we'll cherish for forever. Thanks for everything Daniel...from your ability to tell a story through our pictures to the double-sided tape for the bridesmaids' dresses! Our pictures are stunning, and we have you to thank. If you need a photographer for your wedding, please consider working with Daniel. We took a lot of care in choosing the folks that we worked with on our wedding day, and I have to say it paid off in a big way! We LOVE our photos!

Daniel was simply fantastic. A true professional with a great sense of humor, a great eye and a really helpful sense of calm on the big day. He shot our wedding of 175 guests all alone, and was able to provide coverage of ever single aspect of the day. From the consultations and engagement session to the wedding day and post-production, Daniel was accessible, approachable and able to balance our wishes with his expert judgement. On the actual day, he was able to secure intimate shots of our ceremony without standing out and becoming the center of attention. We ordered a wedding album and parent albums through Daniel, and his work on this was also top-notch. When the first set of books came back and the photo quality was not up to par (due to the printer), Daniel rush ordered another set and they came out great. We also appreciated that Daniel arrived early for both the engagement session and wedding day, and he definitely stayed well beyond the time we had booked him for. If we were to do it all over again, we'd hire Daniel without hesitation.

Oh my gosh, Daniel's pictures are AMAZING to say the least!! I LOVE .. LOVE... LOVE my wedding pictures! I can't stop looking at them! He captured our wedding day so beautifully! His pictures really show our personalities and how much fun we had at the wedding!

Daniel was great to work with. He was very responsive to emails and was on-time the day of the wedding. He was professional and knew just what shots he wanted to take, so it seemed almost effortless on his part. He also seemed to know how to get the best shot from everyone and was able to keep my crazy fine in line. My wedding party seemed very comfortable with Daniel, which helped in getting some great shots from them. At one point, Daniel put the camera down and helped bustle my dress for me!!

Daniel was so unintrusive that I barely knew he was there at the reception, but yet he was there taking pictures of everyone/everything. He definitely got all of the shots/pictures that I wanted. Daniel was even cognizant of the sun setting and asked my groom and I to come outside to take a few more pictures. I am sooo glad that he did because they turned out to be some of the most amazing pictures with the sun setting and the moon rising in the background!

I am so thankful that I chose Daniel for our special day! I will definitely use him for all future occasions. In fact, I'm ready to do it all over again just so he can take more great pictures of us! THANK YOU DANIEL for EVERYTHING!

He is absolutly AMAZING my pictures are just what I wanted!!! I couldn't ask for more....I don't want to make a long dragged on review. This guy is the best you couldn't pick anyone better you will be so pleased! He walks on water LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HIM!!!!!

My daughter and her fiance selected Daniel McGarrity Photography as their choice as they met Daniel at her fiance's best friend's wedding. The couple photo taken at that wedding was used to make a stamp and used on their wedding invitations. Let me tell you, everyone commented that the couple photo was a beautiful photo of the couple. As mother of the bride, they made an excellent choice in selecting Daniel. I couldn't have been happier. As mother's we want the best for our daughter's weddings and Daniel is the best. Aside from his great sense of humor to lighten up the situation and make every feel as ease, he is extremely professional. He captured unique and interesting photos of the wedding couple, guests at the reception, intricate details on the wedding dress, unique photos of the rings, flowers, etc. that were absolutely beautiful and amazing. He truly is talented. The wedding photo link and the slideshow were received within a week. After looking at the pictures, it is amazing how he captured the wedding with so many shots that I think back and I didn't even realize he was there. I'd highly recommend him for his exceptionable abilities and his responsiveness to emails.

My husband and I didn't want a bunch of posed pictures from our wedding, we wanted memories. Daniel did a wonderful job! Not only was he very easy to work with, but all the pictures turned out amazing! He was really able to get to know Adam and I in a short period of time and took pictures that truly captured us and our friends and family! I would definitely recommend him. Plus, anyone who sees the pictures can't stop telling us how beautiful they are!

Daniel was great. He instantly made us feel comfortable on the big day, and was very upfront with me while I was selecting a photographer. He was very flexible with us. Although my husband and I are two of the least photogenic people alive, we ended up with a lot of great shots. Daniel was also very hopeful as a pseudo-"day of coordinator", making sure everything went smoothly and we were in the right place doing the right thing at the right time. We got our pictures back faster than anyone else I know has, and had plenty of good photos to choose from. I would definetely recommend Daniel to anyone.

Daniel was fantastic! Both my husband and I are the kind of people that normally hide from photographers (e.g., my mom). By the time we were through our engagement photo session with Daniel we were 100 percent comfortable in front of the camera. Daniel got great shots of us. The poses were natural, not forced, and the pictures turned out great!

We absolutely can't imagine our wedding without Daniel. In fact, we may not have had one! Daniel became our on-the-spot wedding planner, helping everyone get in their proper place for the ceremony. He kept me cool and calm when the make-up artist showed up late, throwing off the photo schedule. And when my dress got splattered with mud, he was on hand with a tide pen.

During and after the wedding our friends and family who dealt with Daniel had absolutely positive things to say: he was quick, efficient, unobtrusive, and interesting.

We can't wait to see our final pictures. We're sure they'll be great!

Amended: We got our final pictures. They are fantastic!!!! We absolutely, 100%, recommend Daniel.

Working with Daniel was a dream come true. He was able to capture the true magic of our special day. We used Daniel for both our wedding and engagement photos. He was so easy to work with. He was willing to travel to the Campus of Howard University to take engagement photos and also to the Georgetown waterfront. Our engagement photos were so beautiful. I don't like traditional every picture looks the same as every other wedding or engagement picture you have seen. He is a true artist and his style of photography is great. Everyone is still commenting on how beautiful our engagement pictures came out. I was able to use them for our guestbook and our wedding website. Daniel's turn around is amazing. We were able to get our engagement pictures both color and black and whites of every picture in a few days. Within a week of our wedding we had our very own wedding slideshow to send out to our family and friends. The slideshow is set to music and is just amazing. Our pictures were so BEAUTIFUL. They captured our dream wedding. I am very hard to please and Daniel made me very happy. He was always early, returns phone calls and emails asap. I loved working with him. I have recommended him to family and friends. He has a one of a kind photo album. I will use him in the future for other photo needs. THANKS DANIEL, I LOVED WORKING WITH YOU!!!!!! OUR PICTURES WERE PERFECT.

Daniel was a pleasure to work with. He did both our engagement photos as well as our wedding day photos. Our engagement photos were an absolute blast and we had some many images that we loved. For our wedding day, Daniel showed up on time and was extremely professional and personable on the day. He even packed snacks to make sure that I was eating throughout the day! While I have not seen my final images, I am confident that they will be great.

After our first meeting with Daniel, we knew we wanted him as our photographer. Not only was his work portfolio impressive, my husband and I really enjoyed his personality which was very important to us in choosing a photographer. I'm pretty camera shy and knew that I needed someone I would feel comfortable with, and Daniel's fun and laid-back manner was just what I needed. However when it came down to discussing the details of our wedding, he was very professional and helpful in providing advice in terms of thinking about shots we wanted for our wedding. He is very thorough and, from the outset, he laid out what his expectations of us were and vice versa. He even provides a "homework" sheet to complete prior to the wedding that may seem cumbersome in the midst of wedding planning, but TRUST ME, you'll thank him afterwards!

In addition to taking our wedding photos, we also had our engagement session with him--which happened to fall on the day of the biggest snowfall of the season. Yet he was a trooper and withstood the cold and snow to capture some breathtaking shots of us in the snow!

During the months leading up to the wedding, there were lots of emails that were exchanged. His response times to questions and concerns were fantastic...usually responding in a couple of hours! And on the day of the wedding, he arrived on time and started to capture the essence of the day. As a bride who was a bit stressed, Daniel was a great calming force. Even at the reception, we could tell that our guests really took a liking to him and felt comfortable with him.

We just got our slideshow and pictures from Daniel (only a month after our wedding). The slideshow is fantastic...he even set it to the music of our first dance song! My husband and I have been reliving the wedding through the pictures Daniel took and enjoying every shot. As we've been looking at the pictures, we know why we hardly noticed him at the wedding... he was busy taking some great shots of our guests! We're so thankful to have these shots. We would, without any hesitation, recommend Daniel to anyone who is looking for a photographer for their wedding!

I met Daniel at the Bridal Showcase in Rockville, MD along with at least 30 other photographers. At the end of the bridal showcase, the only photographer that left a strong enough impression for me to remember was Daniel McGarrity. His personality, flexibility and knowledge of our cultural traditions made him stand out from the rest. During our engagement photo session, he worked around our dog's fear of strangers and came up with some really get photo ideas. On the day of, he came at least an hour early to capture the pre- getting ready moments (ie - my best friend and me getting emotional over fond memories). When it came time to the reception, Daniel did an amazing job photographing all the fun that our 500 guests were having. His attention to the detail is very apparent in viewing the proofs. Unfortunately, we've been too busy to put together the photos we want in our album, but Daniel sends me a friendly reminder every so often that he's ready whenever we are. Based on his samples we saw before we hired him, I'm sure I'll be pleased with the final product.

I highly recommend Daniel. He is efficient, prompt, thorough, and brings a lot of energy to the job. During our initial planning meeting with him, he qave as a detailed overview of his services and what to expect, bringing a lot of experience and real-word know-how to the table. He was accurate and honest. On the day of the wedding, Daniel truly went the extra mile. While we were getting ready, the groom cut himself shaving and stained his tuxedo shirt collar. Daniel came to the rescue with bleach stick in hand to make sure my husband looked perfect! Later, he really knew exactly how to make all of my guests and attendants feel comfortable and brought out the very best in their pictures. We also appreciated his advice, suggesting that the two of us take a "photo walk" together during the cocktail hour. Those pictures are among our favorites from the wedding and we owe it all to him. After the wedding, Daniel processed our images in a timely fashion, and even put our pictures in a slideshow with music from our wedding. I've heard from others that getting the pictures back can take months on end, and this wasn't the case at all with Daniel. Overall, if you want energetic, professional service, and excellent elegant photos to remember this most important day, Daniel McGarrity is a great choice!

Daniel was extremely professional. He took great pictures, was there early and was able to accomodate our schedule when it came to pre-wedding meetings. He was prompt with responding to emails and when we had some trouble with the original dvd's of our pictures, sent us new ones right away. I would highly reccomend him.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Daniel McGarrity is as a photographer! My new hubby and I decided to have a very intimate wedding in Washington, DC on December 27, 2008. Living in Seattle and waiting until the last minute to do things, [like I normally do :-)] I scheduled some time to meet with him only a few days before the ceremony. He was very accommodating and shared his thoughts on what would make our special day even more so.

One of the reasons why I selected Daniel was due to his online portfolio. He is able to capture those exceptional moments, small details and the overall atmosphere, a skill many of the other photographers I researched in the DC area lacked. And surprisingly, he was the most reasonable cost wise out of the entire list of photographers that I looked at.

And although we had a very small gathering, he treated our ceremony with the same importance and care as he would have a large wedding/reception event. I so appreciate the time he took to ensure our wedding photos perfectly reflected what I was looking for.

The entire wedding party raved about his ability to connect with everyone and direct them on how to take the fantastic photos we desired. Not only did they mention him at our after-wedding dinner, but at the post-wedding brunch the following day. Although we had others that were a part of our ceremony, his name was the one that was continually mentioned.

And the photos were not only wonderful and created a lot of tears as we viewed them, but he even ensured I had the DVD in hand before I flew back to Seattle a few days after our ceremony.

I definitely look forward to working with him again on family events upon our pending move back to the DC area.

Daniel photographed our wedding in November 2008. He is exactly what we wanted and needed in a photographer. He isn't just someone who photographs beautifully; it's as if he thinks in pictures. Our pictures captured moments that only someone with an eye like his could have anticipated and caught on film. He understands what looks beautiful and why and how to create the right light or angle or shadow. Not only were we beyond thrilled with our pictures, but the service Daniel provided. He was unobtrusive and thoughtful, he was a source of stress relief for me (the bride) and he knew how to answer every doubting and neurotic question I threw at him. He captured the vibe of our wedding, without missing a shot, or compromising our own ability to have a good time. He was amazing and a joy to work with.

Daniel was above and beyond what we expected in a photographer. He helped coordinate our larege wedding party. He kept us moving in a timely manner. But best of all our photos are amazing! I have never looked so good! The lighting he captured and expressions and it all came so naturally. I would highly reccomend Daniel to anyone without hesiatation. He was so professional but kept us comfortable and casual. He was amazing, I couldn't say enough good things!

Daniel was the photographer for our wedding on October 12, 2008 and I can honestly say that my husband and I were more than pleased with our decision. After meeting with Daniel, we knew that we wanted him to be our wedding photographer. He provided us with the best deals and we were very happy with the work that he did on our engagement photos. Daniel is highly responsive and answers emails or requests almost immediately. On the day of our wedding, Daniel was on time and professionally dressed and was able to put everyone at ease when things got a little hectic. He is more than someone who justs shoots and take photos, he captures the heart and essence of your story. When I wanted to see a few of my wedding pictures before they were all ready, Daniel accommodated me by having a few of them posted ahead of schedule. I can honestly say that they were spectacular, he captured so many shots that we didn't even know existed and brought back many fond memories of our day. I wholeheartedly recommend Daniel as a photographer to capture your special day.

Daniel was energetic and enthusiastic. He was also very professional. Photography just isn't a hobby for him, it is his career. He was fun to work with and he got to know the wedding party very well. It was like having a friend take your pictures for you. I didn't even realize he was there for the ceremony and reception and he got some beautiful shots!

Besides being my photographer, he was also felt like a friend. He knew how to pin on the corsages and the secrets to not getting the dress dirty with makeup when you are putting it on. He even emailed me the next day to let me know that he had a great time at the wedding.

We received a slide show of some of the pictures when we returned from our honeymoon (about 2 weeks). A few days later he had all of the photos (1,000+) on his website for us to look at. A few days after that we had 3 discs of all of the photos that he took. The was a great response from family and friends when they were able to view them.

If you really aren't into the "stand still and smile" photos, then Daniel is your man. You will be able to relive every minute of your wedding for years to come!

Daniel is Amazing! My husband and I can't stop looking at our wedding photos - they're gorgeous. Daniel's style really captured people's personalities, and he was so easy to work with. I've had numerous comments that guests at the wedding are surprised at the number of pictures, because they hardly knew he was there - but he was everywhere! He is a blast, really creative, and incredibly responsive - I had my digital images in less than 3 weeks. I highly recommend Daniel McGarrity Photography. He's there 100% from beginning to end, and his pictures speak for themselves.

Execllent!!!! We used him for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. Would use this photographer again and would recommend him to others as well.

Daniel's presence was such a blessing to our wedding. We was able to provide calm for my bride, humor for me and friedliness and direction for our guests. The quality of his work and responsiveness to our needs were fantastic. He is very professional, highly intuitive and loves what he does.

His passion for his work energized his subjects and we (the wedding couple) felt very relaxed and natural around him. We did not want alot of "posy, posy" pictures. We wanted someone who would be able to capture a truly living moment. Daniel was able to capture many.

Reviewing our picture today is such a joy. Reliable, confident, competent and fun and just some way to decribe Daniel Mcgarrity. What stood out the most to us about Daniel was his sincerity, we felt safe as if we were with a friend (even though, I just met him on the day of the wedding).

Thank you Daniel !!!!!

Daniel photographed my wedding on August 16th and he did a great job. He showed up early and stayed way past the 8 hour day we had paid for. The formal pictures at both the church and the reception site were amazing. He really knew how to place everyone. Then, at sunset, he pulled me and my husband aside and took a whole series of photographs, which really look like postcards, they are so perfect! He definitely wants to do a good job, but doesn't want to take away from your day. Besides the formals, I didn't even know he was around. His style is photojournalistic, which is what I wanted, so besides the formals there weren't too many more posed pictures…but I'm sure he would be willing to do them if you asked.

He's extremely flexible and will do whatever you want, while suggesting his professional thoughts. He knows the day is all about you and is very accommodating. By the time we returned from our honeymoon, I had cds of all my pictures and they were posted to the website. They were better than I ever expected, and to have them by the time I returned was great!

I have not gotten an album yet, I'm still sorting through which pictures will make the cut, but I am planning on going through Daniel. Once you meet him, you'll know he really enjoys what he does and when you see the pictures you know he's very good at it too!!!

Daniel photographed my July, 2008 outdoor wedding, which was probably one of the hottest days of the summer! What a sport he was to keep going strong throughout the entire event. He is truly dedicated and it's obvious that he loves his work. It shows in every detail of his photography as well as his personality. Daniel is a true artist! My husband, myself, and the entire bridal party was impressed with his work and how he caught the feeling and emotion in every shot and how fun he made the entire photography process. Honestly, I did not have one picture come out from my wedding day that I didn't love; which made choosing the photos for the album quite difficult. :) I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone that wants that special touch that he has to capture the excitement and emotion of their special day!

Daniel was the best decision we made. He really went above and beyond ... the guests all loved him and he got some amazing shots! We never thought we would get so much enjoyment out of our wedding photos, but the pictures were SO good that we've made them into all sorts of things just so we can be surrounded by them.

Seriously, I cannot recommend Daniel enough. He's a brilliant photographer a pleasure to work with.

Daniel should have received 5 stars for each category in regards to Ashley's review!!

Daniel McGarrity was the photographer for our June 7th wedding this year. He was creative and enthusiastic about photographing our wedding. Prior to the ceremony, he communicated with us regularly and provided suggestions when we were deciding on what types of pictures we wanted. We would definitely recommend him to any bride-to-be who's looking for a photographer who takes artistic, imaginative, and beautiful pictures!!

Daniel did a fantastic job in capturing my wedding. The pictures were amazing and the turn around time was exceptional. I appreciate his flexibility and ability to cater to my needs. He was not pushy, did not try to force "upgrades". I appreciate his ability to stay within my budget, and produce great work. I highly recommend Daniel. Since the wedding, I have used Daniel to photograph our baby girl and family portraits.

Daniel is an amazing photographer! His images are so gorgeous and unique. What makes him stand out even more is his amazing ability to get each perfect shot. He is not afraid of getting people to do what they need to do to make sure that he can catch the perfect image. I have been so impressed with Daniel every time I have worked with him!

I have had the pleasure of working with Daniel McGarrity several times and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience each time. He is an artist, a gentleman, and truly cares about his colleagues, clients and projects. I recommend him often!

As a wedding professional, it is nice to connect with others that have the same drive and passion for their job as I do! I worked with Daniel, and he is not only fun to work with, he makes my clients feel at ease and he produces phenomenal work! Daniel is at the top of his game when it comes to Photography! Tara Melvin, Perfect Planning (Certified Wedding & Event Planner)

Daniel McGarrity is one of the hardest working, most creative and dedicated wedding photographer in the area that I have ever met. His determination to provide the best photography for his clients shows in the time and effort he puts into getting to know each of them on a personal level, and not just as a vendor. I've even seen him bring homemade boutique cupcakes to a brides' mom!!

Daniel McGarrity was a blast to work with! He had a smile on his face the entire day and you can tell that he loves what he does. He's unobtrusive and creative and just a fun guy to be around. I can't wait to be able to work with him again.

I've 2nd shot for Daniel, and he is amazing. He can think on his feet no matter what situation is presented in front of him, and still get beautiful images. He's very friendly, yet professional. Any bride & groom hiring him should do so without any reservations. If you book Daniel, you will have nice memories in photographic form to cherish for years to come of your special day.

I recently worked with Daniel at The Tremont and couldn't have been happier to work with such an easy going, organized and professional Photographer. We both seem to have the same philosophy regarding a wedding; do a great job, make sure the bride and groom are happy and make sure everyone has a great time! He not only is great to work with as a vendor, but most importantly the pictures he takes are fantastic. He really captures the moment and feel of the party. From the ceremony to the last dance his shots really tell a story. I highly recommend Daniel to anyone interested in hiring a true professional that knows what he's doing. Chris Temple, C&J Entertainment.

Daniel is a great photographer that you will definitely enjoy working with. He is not only excellent at capturing the elegance and emotion of a wedding day but also at capturing those exceptional shots of the bride and the people she loves that are a treasure for a lifetime! I can recommend him highly.
