My May 21 - Wedding Photographer
Hi all
This is an unsolicited review of our photographer vendor, Dan Wagner Photography that my beautiful bride, Danielle, and I chose for our May 21 wedding. First time that I am writing any sort of review of any sorts on this site – but, after our experience with Dan Wagner, we felt it would be a crime not to give credit where credit is due!
Danielle and I did most of our searches – like most prospective couples – for a wedding photographer who we felt would fit in so completely with our celebration. We wanted a photographer who would make Danielle and the rest of the guests feel so completely at ease during the course of the day. Essentially, we wanted a professional who we could communicate our requests easily to as well as gently guiding us through the various photographic opportunities during the course of the evening.
After visiting countless studios around Long Island – including a few that had beautifully decorated photographic studios – but cookie-cutter photographers ‘on call’ – we finally paid a visit to Dan Wagner. We were immediately impressed by the ‘down to earth’ – yet completely professional attitude that he conveyed to us. His sample works showed us EXACTLY what we were looking for – traditional wedding photography with the right amount of photo-journalistic flair to weave the storybook photo album that we desired. The type of package that we were looking for included the modern ‘digital album’ that is new in the industry. Dan had this choice available which we loved. In fact, most other places we visited did not have this option available and those that did were much more expensive!
On our special day, Dan met Danielle and her family at their home and took some beautifully pre-wedding shots of my beautiful bride! Later, throughout the evening, Dan and his trusty assistant did everything to make the evening ‘picture-perfect’ in a non-obtrusive way. Actually, a lot of our guest remarked that our photographer was very nice – including my mother who traveled from South Africa for the event.
Our post-wedding relationship with Dan has been very satisfying. After hearing horror stories of newlyweds waiting months before receiving proofs or any albums of any sorts, this was not the case with Dan. In no time at all, we received ALL our proofs. The Thank-You cards came almost immediately. Dan’s emails and replies to our questions etc were very quick. We felt that he had our interests at heart totally and was very personable. When we wanted some changes to our digital album, we were rewarded with a quick turnaround! Danielle and I were completely satisfied with the quality shots including one of Danielle’s favorites… a B&W photo of her getting dressed with her gown looking at herself in a long mirror – with her mirror image in color!
Phew! Long review! But like I said, if I see a dedicated professional to goes out of his way to really care about his work and his results – but most of all, his client’s satisfaction – then credit is definitely due. I don’t think you will be disappointed with the choice of Dan’s services.
