    Daniel is amazing!!!!!! Being in the wedding industry I had many many photographers at my finger tips but I knew that Daniel was special. I can tell just by looking at a photo (without a watermark) that it is one of Daniel's. Our engagement pictures were perfect and on my wedding day he was phenomenal; he got all the shots that were important to my fiancé and I and he kept us on schedule. I cannot wait to see the photos. He is professional, personable, and always knew what to say to the bridal party to keep them smiling and in the moment. This photographer has an amazing talent and especially because I am not a fan of getting...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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,...

    Daniel was absolutely amazing! He was willing to work with us from day one and helped us through the entire process, from meeting us at the beach for our engagement photos to the big day! Our photos are so beautiful and he captured every moment. I could not have asked for better shots! I highly recommend Daniel to anyone, he is totally worth it and will beautifully capture all your memorable moments!
    Daniel was more than just a photographer on our Wedding day. All the groomsmen boutonnieres were pinned upside down and incorrectly. Daniel stepped in to pin the boutonnieres correctly and save the day. He gets to know you and the entire wedding party on a personal level. Daniel was involved in the entire wedding and made the day go seamlessly.
    Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!

    Daniel is an absolute professional and expert in his field. His eye for the best shot is uncanny and his style is very natural – none of his pictures are forced/cheesy – instead his pictures capture the best of his subjects in a very real way. The end result is pictures that evoke emotional responses and bring you back to the big day just by looking at them.

    In addition to all of the above, from a practical standpoint, Daniel is also very good at “herding cats” which is something that you will need him to do on your big day (especially if you have a lot of different family/friends attending). He is in charge without being...

    We couldn't have been happier with Daniel McGarrity as our wedding photographer.

    We met Daniel at our first bridal expo and immediately knew that we wanted him to photograph our special day. We met with a few other vendors there as well, which only highlighted how much Daniel stood out from the rest.

    We had very little control over setting our actual wedding date, given that we were having our ceremony and reception at Oriole Park at Camden Yards and had to wait for the baseball schedule to be sorted out before finalizing our date. He was patient throughout the process and often checked in to make sure he would be available for the date we were...

    When my husband and I met Daniel, we knew right away that he was the right wedding photographer for us. We met him for an appointment in the studio in his house to see what he had to offer. We could tell from the sample photography he showed us that he catches all of the special moments where you can really see the twinkle in everyone’s eyes. He also is extremely easy to get along with, which is so important for a couple and their wedding photographer. The last thing you want is to feel awkward or uncomfortable telling your photographer how you feel on your wedding day. Daniel made us and all of our guests laugh and feel...

    I am so glad that we chose Daniel McGarrity to be our wedding photographer. Daniel has a wealth of many years of experience that is evident in the quality of his work as well as the advisement he was able to offer my husband and I, as I struggled with making decisions about packages, timing, photo settings, etc. Daniel was able to extract from us our unique personal essence and taste, helping us to create memorable engagement and wedding photos.

    It was also important to me that I genuinely liked my wedding photographer and trusted him to bring out the best in my husband (who hates having his picture taken) and I as well as our wedding...

    Daniel is absolutely great to work with. We used him for both engagement pictures and on our wedding day. For engagement photos, I did not want the typical portrait like pictures. Daniel is so creative and gave us some great pictures that we have actually put on canvas and are hanging in our house. As for our wedding day, he had a good mix of candid and portraits, really capturing the day for us. We also purchased a wedding album through him, which turned out amazing. We couldn't be happier with the pictures and memories that Daniel captured for us!

    We could not be any more pleased with our photos or Daniel's professionalism. Daniel is a personable, funny and kind photographer who is very VERY good at his job. Daniel went out of his way to make sure he was well prepared for our wedding and knew exactly what we were looking for. He even came along for our walk-through so that he could see the venue prior to the wedding. It was his first wedding at this location and I am very thankful he took the time to come when he was not obligated. He truly did a wonderful job and by far exceeded our expectations. I also would like to note that we had a very large...

    Absolutely the best!! From the very first meeting in his studio through putting together our wedding album, Daniel has been an absolute pleasure to work with! His attentive and professional manner made working with him a breeze! He was more than a photographer, providing recommendations for other vendors and lots of other helpful tips during our planning process (including to make sure we eat...LOL). The day of, we were amazed at how well he kept everything moving, especially during the lengthy list of formals we had! His humor kept it light so people did not feel rushed nor overwhelmed. In addition, we hardly even noticed that Daniel was there. He was unobtrusive, allowing us to enjoy our special day...

    Daniel was so calm and funny, he made the photography shoot a breeze. He has an excellent professional eye for lighting and scenery so i urge you to take his suggestions, but he is also very responsive to including all the shots you might request. You never have to worry about lighting because he can truly make any light work in an artful way. Daniel's specialty is capturing the essence of you as a couple, and those photos are so much more meaningful than a lot of staged poses though he will surely get all of your family shots as well. Although we were just married, Daniel really reminds you of that joy in every instruction. I will also...

    Daniel was absolutely wonderful, start to finish. From our very first phone conversation, wherein I peppered him with questions for over an hour, to Day-Of reassurance and after-the-fact follow-up, Daniel was patient, good-humored, and professional without being stiff. In addition to his photography skills, he offered various bits of welcome advice on everything from where to stay on our honeymoon (in Rome!) to good Rehearsal Dinner spots.

    Daniel's work speaks for itself, but let me say - it is amazing, ranging from intimate, vignette-type portraits to architecturally-framed backdrops, sure to stun. His eye for detail and work with lighting are truly remarkable.

    We hired Daniel for both our engagement session and our wedding, and are thrilled...

    Your wedding day happens very quickly! I have great memories of my wedding, but Daniel McGarrity captured every important moment that occurred on my wedding day with his photography. You will be shocked with the creativity of his photographs! During the day, he was constantly looking for the best site and best light for the first look and group photographs. The combination of his understanding of flash photography and lighting make his sunset photographs truly outstanding. He keeps a list of all the important photographs that you want and he makes sure that the day runs smoothly! His professionalism and experience made my day stress-free! I knew his photographs were going to be amazing after the engagement shoot, and...

    We hired Daniel after firing our first wedding photographer for terrible photos and unprofessionalism at our engagement session. We met with Daniel at his studio and were blown away by the quality of his photos. I was very gun shy about hiring someone else after my last experience and Daniel even took a couple of quick pictures of my fiancee to show off his talent. I was thrilled to hire him. He gave tons of direction for the engagement shoot, including wardrobe help, positioning, etc. He was totally involved and listened when we said we were self-conscious about a position. The pictures turns out gorgeous. He's not cheap but talent rarely is. I loved working with him and would hiring him again without hesitation.

    Daniel was referred to us by a close friend of my husband. We were sold after seeing some of their wedding photos. His work was amazing! We had engagement photos done, and the wedding photos were phenomenal! Not only were we very happy, but we got many compliments on how good they were from our friends and family. Daniel was very easy to work with and kept us on track the day of the wedding. He worked well with our wedding venue and we had a blast during our limo ride!! Thanks Daniel!

    Starting with our engagement shoot, Daniel was a true pleasure to work with! My fiancé and I both agree that we couldn't have had a better photographer and experience. His creativity in addition to his fun disarming personality made our entire event one of a kind. We can't wait to see the wedding pictures because if they're anything like our engagement session... It will make choosing our favorites a difficult task!!

    Daniel is the best wedding photographer a couple could ever ask for. He was forthcoming and honest during our preparation sessions and helped us create the vision of the wedding of our dreams.

    The best thing you could say about a photographer is that they capture the true personalities of their subjects in an unobtrusive and natural way. Furthermore, whenever needed, you want an experienced photographer to guide the wedding party into the right spots and poses to capture the joyous mood of the day. Daniel, without a doubt, has all of these attributes and so much more.

    We did and would recommend Daniel to any couple out there looking for someone who will provide not only beautiful pictures but also add the humor and fun their wedding day deserves.

    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...
