My fiance and I recently had our engagement shoot with
Daniel Jason Nydick and we could not be happier! We got our photos back yesterday, and I knew I had to write something right away.
Daniel has been absolutely wonderful to work with. He answered all our questions, made the actual engagement shoot a great time, and got us comfortable in front of the camera (which we aren't on a normal day). He was able to truly capture our personalities (including our pup).
Daniel puts love, care, and an enormous effort into his work. We can't wait for the wedding day!Daniel Nydick Photography's reply:
I could not have imagined a more fun-filled (and cider-filled) engagement session...ever!!! Getting to know you, getting to play together at Burnt Mills Cider...I mean...we just know we're in it together forever haha!
Until our double date later this month, keep being AWESOME! -

Melanie L. Sent on 01/16/2024The undisputed champ of wedding photographers!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Daniel for not one, but TWO wedding days. Our wedding plans were a bit…unconventional. When we first got engaged, we decided to elope (just the 2 of us) to Ireland. However, due to logistics, we decided it would be best to sign all the legal paperwork before we departed. We also really wanted an opportunity to celebrate with our families and friends upon our return with a larger-scale party–and we wanted both days to be documented with beautiful photos that captured the different vibes of each event. Enter Daniel!
We discussed our ideas with Daniel during our first consultation, and he was more than willing to make our vision a reality. He created a custom package to incorporate both days, and was excited to capture two very different events for us. In the months of planning that followed, we were beyond appreciative of his patience, understanding, and flexibility as we navigated the various concepts for what both unconventional wedding days would look like.
Before we get to any of that though, we have to talk about our engagement photo shoot. As big fans of professional wrestling, we wanted to somehow incorporate that into the photos. So we contacted Warriors of Wrestling, a local promotion here on Staten Island, and they agreed to let us use their ring for the shoot! This was a first for Daniel, and he was thrilled to have the opportunity to do something different. He made us look like real superstars that day, and the images he captured are some of our all time favorites.
A few weeks prior to our “first” wedding day in June of ‘23, Daniel met with us at our home to get an idea of the layout and review the timeline. We then went to Fort Wadsworth park, where the post-ceremony photos would be taken, and scouted out the best locations for photos. By the time the actual day arrived, everything was perfectly planned out, and Daniel’s amazing photos really captured the intimate nature of our living room ceremony with 10 family members looking on. We capped the night off with a trip to Duffy’s Tavern – a local Irish bar – where we got some great photos of us enjoying huge burgers and pints of Guinness! Daniel was by our side the whole time, and he helped make the day so special.
Fast forward a few months and it was finally the day of our reception! Our family, friends, and co-workers all gathered at the Nassau Inn in Princeton NJ to celebrate us. Right in the middle of it all, of course, was Daniel, capturing moments in time that we will cherish forever. His photography truly is art, and you can see his passion for this through his lens. The photos that stand out the most from our reception are the shots on the dance floor. We feel that one place Daniel’s talent shines brightest is his ability to tell an entire story in one click of the shutter–and the photos of ourselves and our loved ones having a blast truly encapsulate the feelings we had in those moments.
Through it all, we feel Daniel became an honorary family member thanks to his enthusiasm and genuine investment in telling our love story. Our photos are EVERYTHING we were hoping for and more. We cannot recommend Daniel enough.
Daniel Nydick Photography's reply:
Is it unprofessional to for me to just say I freaking love you both?
From engagement session, to wedding #1 to wedding #2, we have built something special together and you forever have a most special place in my heart. Until our next burger n' Guinness, CHEERS! -

Absolutely amazing
Daniel is literally a one of a kind photographer. Not only are our photos nothing less than a dream, he’s just an amazing person. My family and friends (before even seeing the finished product) commented on what an amazing photographer he is. “He was on the ground to get that shot!” Daniel eased my anxiety throughout the day, it was wonderful having a friend by my side the entire wedding day. Choose Daniel, you’ll be lucky to have his art on your walls for the rest of your lives.Daniel Nydick Photography's reply:
Tell me this was not the most perfect day ever? Two weddings in one, and both equally as beautiful. The love was as bold as the colors, and your smiles kept me going all day long.
Thank you for sharing your Love Story with my lens -

What a fantastic photographer
Daniel Nydick was one of the best decisions we ever did for our wedding. We booked him two years before our wedding. His attention to detail and his friendly personality made our process a breeze. He really does embody the pure definition of profressionalism, artistic creativity, and love. His consistent work (because he not only shot our wedding, he drove down to wildwood for our engagment shoot) is shown all over with the couples he works with. 100000000000/10 reccommend!! -

Daniel is a 10/10!!! 😍❤️
We hired Daniel for our early June 2023 wedding in Morris County, NJ and he is the absolute best!! He is truly professional, talented, friendly and easy and pleasant to work with! He makes sure that you have the details ironed about before the big day so that way you can just smile and look pretty while he stays on schedule. Daniel had a way of making us feel calm and reassured leading up to the ceremony and was never “in the way” during the reception. We couldn’t be happier with how the photos came out!! Looking through them is truly like reliving the day all over again! Daniel is a 10/10!!! 😍📸 -

John B. Sent on 06/12/2023Wouldn't Ever Consider Hiring Anybody Else
I've been following Daniel's work for years and have been so impressed that I knew if I ever had a big event, he was going to be my guy. So, I got divorced, found a wonderful woman and got re-married all so I could hire Daniel! Ok, that may be a slight exaggeration but the rest of what I have to say is 100% accurate.
When my wife and I began planning our wedding, I was open to any ideas on who our vendors would be, except one: the photographer. Luckily, it only took showing her a sample of Daniel's work for her to jump fully on board.
And we couldn't be more thrilled that we chose Daniel. Daniel is so much more than a photographer. He makes the whole experience personal so that he can tell YOUR love story. The memories you end up getting are exquisite. The color is eye-popping and the quality and creativity are jaw-dropping.
Daniel guided us every step of the way but never, even for a single moment, felt intrusive on our day. We couldn't be happier with the end result and haven't stopped hearing compliments from friends and family about the amazing photos from the wedding.
I would highly recommend Daniel to ANYONE looking for a photographer. -

Daniel Nydick is Amazing
We LOVED every moment of having Daniel be part of recording Our Historic Day!
We found Daniel’s work online, doing the usual hunt for wedding photographers. His style immediately jumped out for us. Daniel, FYI you were the only phone call we made and ever needed! After some quick initial conversation, we found he totally struck a chord on how we wanted someone to live that special day with us and record it into Our history book.
Daniel took every imaginable care to capture the expression and feeling behind everything we created – Our “Wedding in the Woods” at Masker’s Barn, Watchung Reservation NJ. It was an amazing feeling to be so at ease in his attention to detail and easy professional style. It was never just photographic coverage; it was a full-on concierge experience that we got to star in.
For Daniel, His assistant John, and lighting asst. – their total kindness, support, and expertise in crafting stellar images throughout the day was noted by everyone including Tracker the cat! His eyes do not miss tiny details and nuance!
Daniel truly created something timeless and invaluable for us and made it seem effortless and 100% personal.

Super TALENTED and RELIABLE!!! Gorgeous photos.
Photography was our number one priority. Now that our wedding is over, I’m so grateful with our decision. Candids are meant to capture the emotion of a special moment. I would go as far to say that I truly didn’t understand the magnitude of capturing great candids until I received my photos back from Daniel. When going through them, I am truly reminded of what I was feeling that day and I catch myself smiling so big. I wanted to enjoy my wedding day fully by being present. This meant a lot of laughing, dancing and happy tears. Daniel was completely on top of documenting all of this. My husband and I also initially booked Daniel for his artistic ability. Daniel was successful in capturing the beauty of our venue through our bride and groom portraits. They are not typical portraits, but very vibrant and creative which is what we wanted. I also want to add that Daniel has been absolutely amazing to work with. He is very genuine, personable, kind and reliable. My friends and family absolutely loved him. He has actually been with us every step of the way: from our engagement shoot, to my bachelorette party, to our big day. And I am very grateful that we were able to find someone so talented. -

Daniel and his team of Aaron and Marc were amazing to work with. My husband Russ and I knew we wanted Daniel to captures all the special moments for our wedding. We wanted someone who thinks of the box and also fun to work with. He is not your typical photographer. He is creative, talented, and friendly. It is like I knew him for years. He makes you feel welcomed. From day we loved his vibe. I know we will have the traditional photos but we wanted capture the whole essence of our wedding. We wanted candids photos from the wedding party and guests. We booked Daniel in July 2021 and had our wedding this year on January 7th at The Palace at Somerset Park. He is amazing to work with. There was a constant open line of communication. His photos are vivid and tell a story. If you book with Daniel you will not be disappointed. -

Karli N. Sent on 01/04/2023Every expectation exceeded beyond belief
I mean....the FIVE STAR reviews should speak for themselves.... but I would be re-missed not to share with the rest of the world just how awesome Daniel is and how remarkable his work is. I found Daniel on my hunt for a photographer with an edge -- someone who isn't afraid to break the mold of traditional wedding photography and who could guarantee that when our moments were captured, the personalities of those in the photos could somehow be felt through the screen. It is an understatement to say that Daniel did not disappoint... he EXCEEDED every expectation. Knowing just the right moments to capture and just the right angles to capture at is an art form that Daniel has mastered. From communication, to timelines, passion, and execution, Daniel has been an all around perfect vendor... and I promise you that after booking him, you'll also make a lifelong friend.
I booked Daniel 2 years before my wedding and on our wedding day, Daniel suggested we take a photo similar to one I had commented on a year and a half prior, because he remembered how much I enjoyed it. His attention to detail is exceptional. I never had to reach out to Daniel and ask what the next step was, he always made sure I knew. AND when it came time to deliver my photos, he delivered them... ahead of schedule... and made sure my husband and I were well equipped for our viewing party (you'll have to hire him to see what kind of special touches he brings for you !) Daniel doesn't just capture the most incredible moments of your life, he creates art that transcends you back to those moments and you'll remember exactly how you felt (even with a little too much liquor in you).
Daniel, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for capturing WHO WE ARE and for adding your special touches to our photos -- which have friends and family going WILD. You are a true talent in this industry and a gem of a human being..
Brides & Grooms, family & friends...this is one vendor/artist/individual you'll regret not booking. -

We booked Daniel for our October 2022 wedding at David's Country Inn. Once we met Daniel we instantly knew we had to book him. His photos alone spoke for themselves, they encapsulate his love and passion for what he does. He truly spends time and gets to know his couples and does an astounding job at narrating your love story though his lens. Daniel is a EXTREMELY talented and I am so happy we found him as I truly do not believe there is another wedding photographer out there that would be able to capture our day like he did. I feel like he truly feels and understands all the emotions that happen between the couple on their wedding day (which is why I believe he captures all the right moments). He is compassionate, kind, and just truly wonderful all around. We are so happy we entrusted a great photographer to capture these memories that will last a lifetime. -

Angela E. Sent on 10/05/2022Amazing, Unique Photos for our Love Story
We love Daniel! We found Daniel through social media and completely fell in love with his unique style of capturing the emotion in every one of his photographs. Daniel was so helpful during the entire planning process. We did our engagement session in Asbury Park, NJ on a not-so-perfect September day. Regardless of the weather, our pictures came out amazing and we had such a blast. My husband and I are not ones to take tons of pictures of ourselves, so we were a little nervous walking into it. However, Daniel had such a calming and fun vibe that we felt so comfortable! We got married this past August in New Hope, PA. We wanted to be able to capture the beauty of our venue and all the fun of the wedding. He did just that and so much more! I cannot say enough about how much we love Daniel and how amazing our photographs turned out! -

Amazingly-Talented Photographer
We hired Daniel for our April wedding in New Hope. From the minute we met with Daniel via Zoom, we knew we were in good hands. As this was our second marriage, we told Daniel that we did not want a ton of "getting ready" and formal shots. We wanted him to capture the candids of our party. He absolutely delivered! Daniel is a rare talent, but beyond his amazing eye, it was like we had a friend taking our photos. He was kind, funny, and seemed genuinely happy to be shooting our wedding. I suspect we may have made a new friend as well as found a great photographer!Daniel Nydick Photography's reply:
Susan & Joe, I cannot thank you enough for letting me spend your most awesome of days by your sides!
Talk about new friends...Your honey jar is still in my kitchen right on the counter, and yes, we are absolutely meeting in High Bridge for saffron mussels :)
Thank you again, a million thank yous!

Raena D. Sent on 05/17/2022Absolute BEST Wedding photographer EVER
Choosing Daniel Nydick for our Wedding Day photography was one of the best decisions that made our day so incredibly special. From the very first phone interview to all of the patience he had with our going back and forth of questions, specific details and shots we wanted to capture to the BIG day and how smoothly everything went, especially with him making it feel so comfortable, we could NOT have asked for a better photographer. The only thing I wish we could've done different is afford to have him for the entire weekend because of just how incredible all of the photos came out for the "short" 10 hour window we booked for the day of. Not to mention, his impeccable timing of turn around time with incredible sneak peaks and the entire album of photos, we cannot speak more highly of having him make our day so special. Book him NOW- you won't regret it :)Daniel Nydick Photography's reply:
Raena & Ben...what else can I say but WOW! Thank you so much for sharing with myself and the world how you feel about everything we've shared together and what your experience was like since day one. It warms my heart (I'm serious!) to hear just how cared about and cared for you feel. I love what I do, and the key ingredients to making that possible are couples like you and Ben.
If I could spend the day by your sides 100 times again, I'd jump at the opportunity.
Many, many, many hugs! -

Wedding Dreams Come True
My husband and I cannot express how AMAZING Daniel was throughout our wedding planning process. We now consider Daniel a great friend; during high pressure moments he was the only person who seemed to calm us down. He was able to capture who we are as individuals and the love comes through on camera of our story as a couple. Daniel answered all of our questions and then some. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are seriously one of a kind. When I look at other couples’ photos compared to ours, it is obvious how special Daniel is. We cannot thank him enough and cannot wait to work with him for another life milestone. Mikey and I love you Daniel! -
