    Phenomenal wedding photographer!!

    Dan was our main photographer and did a phenomenal job overall- we highly recommend him!

    Before the wedding, he worked closely with us to understand what types of shots we wanted and what was important to us. He went above and beyond to make sure we were able to get permission to take pictures in a nearby park that we really liked. He even spent some time scoping out good picturesque spots beforehand.

    We picked Dan from out-of-state, so we weren't able to do engagement photos with him. Despite this, we were immediately at ease when he showed up on the day of our wedding. He did a great job of capturing special moments while getting ready without being intrusive or disruptive.

    After the ceremony, Dan was sure to get all of the formal family shots we had requested, and paid close attention to details like lighting and even the glare on peoples' glasses. He then took the two of us to the aforementioned park and was really helpful with suggesting different poses for us (something we are terrible at ourselves!), both formal and fun. At the reception, he and his second shooter captured many of the details (cake, decorations, etc), while also capturing photos of ALL of our guests having a great time, which is something we were really excited to see after we got our photos back. He also snuck us out for a few minutes during the reception to take some beautiful nighttime shots.

    After the wedding, Dan was timely in getting our edited photos back to us, which was great because the holidays were coming up and we really wanted to share photos with our families. He worked with us to make a few modifications to the photos to highlight certain details, which really demonstrated his dedication to making sure we had the best photos possible. Overall we are so happy with our pictures, both the quality and the quantity.

    Lastly, Dan prepared our wedding album for us using our favorite pictures from the day. He again demonstrated dedication to his work by going back and forth with us several times right before the holidays to switch around the ordering/sizing of some of the photos. We absolutely love what we ended up with! Anyone would be lucky to have Dan as a wedding photographer!

    Daniel is one AMAZING photographer! I have many portraits that were taken by Daniel and absolutely LOVE them. He's very easy to shoot with and doesn't make you feel uncomfortable. He knows what he's doing and the pictures always look flawless. I also seen many of Daniel's wedding shots and they all look phenomenal. Highly recommended!!

    Amazing Photographer

    If you are in need of a photographer, look no further, Dan is AMAZING. He honestly was one of the best parts of my wedding day. He ensured photo sessions went smoothly and directed everyone where to go in a calm and professional manner. We had a lot of fun; it wasn't stressful or awkward at all. From our first conversation until the actual day, everything was seemless and professional. Dan eased my mind with solutions for the things I was stressed about, and he listened and executed exactly what kind of pictures I wanted. We received our pictures in a timely manner and they are stunning! I will hire Dan again for any other photo needs (fingers crossed he's available) and I am always referring him to anyone getting married. Not only is he is an amazing person, he is exceptional at his craft.

    Can’t wait to capture more special moments!

    I can’t say enough about Dan- he was so easy to work with! He made us feel like we were life long friends. After having to postpone our wedding twice because of Covid, then deciding to elope but still have photos taken, Dan traveled to Boston for us. Dan spent the whole day with us and captured such beautiful pictures. I would recommend him to everyone I know. I can’t wait to capture more special moments with him again!

    Daniel Parlante Photography's reply:

    Alexis & Ryan,
    Thank you so much for the kind words and amazing review. It was my pleasure and honor to capture these memories for you. Our travel to Boston was awesome and so much fun! It was a blast! You both and genuine and super easy going which made things go smooth and our time together easy. Thanks again for allowing me to be apart of the journey! Until next time.... Cheers!

    December 2019 Wedding

    We are so glad we picked Dan to photograph our wedding. I was nervous as I am not normally comfortable taking photos, but Dan immediately made us feel at ease. He was super flexible and patient with my family during portraits and managed to get every shot we could want working independently. The pictures turned out beautiful.

    Experienced, Passionate, Easy to Work with Photogrpaher!

    I cannot say enough great things about Dan and his work! From the first time I reached out to Dan, he was extremely prompt with his responses which was very reassuring. An engagement session was included in our package, and it was great for all of us to be able to meet in person and to also get a first hand look at his work. Neither myself or my husband have had professional photos taken, but from the jump Dan was extremely laid-back, easy to work and communicate with. He made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. He is extremely passionate about photography and getting the most perfect and creative shots. Dan and I communicated throughout the entire wedding planning process via email, text, and on the phone. I started following him on Instagram and the beginning of the wedding planning and loved seeing his work over the months – it made me so excited for our day! He sent me a survey to ensure we went over all the details for the day of. I felt extremely confident leading up to the wedding because I knew him and I were on the same page! The day of the wedding was an absolute breeze working with Dan and he made our day so much fun!!! It really felt like I was hanging with a friend the whole day. Many people complimented me on how attentive he was during the wedding, making sure he got all the special and funny moments. We got our photos super quick (just under 3 weeks!) and we are absolutely in love with them. The shots speak for themselves, there is such a variety and I cannot stop looking back at them with tears in my eyes because he captured the day so well and it takes me right back. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! Dan was one of my favorite vendors to work with on the day of the wedding, and also during the months leading up to it due to his work ethic and awesome personality. Thank you, Dan for everything!!!

    Made our wedding so stress-free!

    Dan was the ideal photographer: artistic, knowledgeable, professional, responsive, flexible. His photos - incredible. His demeanor - down-to-earth. He's just a great guy, and you won't regret hiring him. He truly cares about his clients and their stories, and it shows.

    Can't recommend enough!

    My now-husband and I can't say enough wonderful things about Dan! From the get-go, he was communicative and responsive to any questions we had. We were planning our wedding from a distance, and he went out of his way to meet with us on the fly when we were in town and even scouted our venue for the best photo spots.

    His enthusiasm for our wedding throughout the planning process and on the big day was so uplifting and reassuring. We felt so comfortable with Dan guiding the way, and his eye for light, color, and creative angles made for the most amazing shots!

    Several guests commented on how professional and fun he was during the wedding, and the beautiful, creative and unique photos speak for themselves. Hiring Dan was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. Thank you, Dan!

    Dan is amazing!!!

    I apologize in advance for the long review! I will try to keep it as short as possible, but I just want to include things that I know were important to us when my husband and I were on the hunt for a wedding photographer.

    It was such a pleasure working with Dan on the day of our wedding. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera which was an added bonus! My husband and I are pretty laid-back people, and so is Dan, so it was nice to have someone that matched our personalities. From the first telephone call with him, to the first meeting with him, and then finally our wedding day, we knew that we made the right choice for our wedding photographer. Prior to our wedding day, we told Dan what types of pictures we wanted, etc. and he captured everything so beautifully. We couldn’t have been more thankful to have had Dan be a part of our special day.

    Throughout the wedding planning process, Dan was so responsive and helpful with any questions we had. I do a lot of my communication through email so emailing with Dan was a breeze since he would answer an email that I sent him within an hour. This stood out to me since I had other vendors who weren’t as responsive and it was quite frustrating.

    Dan was beyond what we imagined our wedding photographer would be. He was respectful, generous, funny, and made sure he captured everything we wanted, and more. You know you had an amazing wedding photographer when you get the final album back and start crying happy tears looking back at all the photos (guilty!). A wedding photographer is one of the most important people to have on your wedding day since he/she will be capturing the moments that you will look back on forever. We are so thankful that this person was Dan. He was amazing and we will ALWAYS recommend him.

    I has gotten my pictures done by Daniel last year for my senior portraits! This was a very good decision! He was speedy, professional, fun, and best of all good at what he did. We got amazing pictures in the city if Philadelphia at many different locations. 10 out of 10 I will be getting my pictures taken by him again! I had the best time!
