    Words don't do justice to this duo!

    Daria and Mike are a fantastic team. From the moment I contacted Daria she was available and ready to answer all of my questions. I got to know Daria when she shot our engagement photos and it was so easy to connect with her and take direction. She was super flexible with changes during the pandemic as well.
    When the wedding came around, Daria was above and beyond making things run smooth, she thought of so many little things that would have been easy for me to forget on such a busy day. We were always in contact so I had a clear idea of how everything would go. Mike and Daria work so well to capture different parts of the day and keep things flowing. It felt way more like having old friends at the wedding rather than a vendor. She took all of my ideas and thoughts into account and spent extra time to make my vision a reality.
    As for getting the pictures back, Daria always follows through on her timeline and is usually early. She even met with me to give me the photo book of our wedding that she made so personal. I would absolutely reccomend Petit-eclair and will be using them for many years to come!

    Such a great experience!

    Daria and Mike were so great to work with. They made everyone feel comfortable right away.
    The photos turned out so good. We had a hard time choosing our favorites for our photobook!

    Cheerful, Kind, Calm, AND Beautiful Photos!

    Daria and her husband Mike were a cheerful, kind, and calm presence on our day, and their beautiful photos perfectly captured all of the moments, large and small, from our wedding. We requested candids, and WOW did they deliver! We are so grateful for everything they did for our wedding.

    When we were searching for our photographer, my husband and I were drawn to the vibrant colors and energy evident in Petit-Eclair’s photographs, especially in the candids. You can see how she sees genuine moments and is able to capture them.

    Daria and Mike were incredibly flexible when, like many 2020 weddings, we had to reschedule, then downsize from 300 guests at a large venue to just 30 in my parents’ backyard. Even though the yard was such a tight space, they were able to get beautiful shots without blocking anyone, and were totally unobtrusive. Their communication throughout the planning and replanning process was responsive and encouraging.

    For the group shots, Daria gave calm, cheerful, capable direction, and made everyone feel great during the process.

    We definitely recommend them to capture all the moments of your day.

    I loved working with Daria

    As an officiant, I work with many different vendors. Daria was wonderful to work with - she is both warm and professional. Our mutual couple did a first look and took their formal pictures before the ceremony. Daria moved people in and out of the tableaux quickly without making the couple or their wedding party feel rushed. She also captured beautiful pictures of the ceremony without intruding on the ceremony itself. The end results are gorgeous! I have another wedding with Daria later in 2020, and I can't wait to work with her again!

    Petit-Eclair Photography & Design's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words Keri! It was a pleasure to get to know you and witness your professionalism! Looking forward to working with you again!

    We Had The Best Experience With Daria !

    Daria was such a sweetheart from day one !!! I found her in one of the Rochester Wedding Facebook groups as a recommendation and quickly fell in love with her photography style. There were certain qualities that we were looking for in our wedding photographer including, but not limited to, organizational skills, able to give direction, reasonably priced within our budget/budget focused and of course, have a unique style that we enjoyed. With Daria, I can easily say that we received all of that PLUS MORE. We had an amazing initial phone conversation with her to talk ideas and give a basic outline for the day. Then after that, we set up our first in-person meeting. Our conversations were great and we could truly see the passion she has for photography. And that’s when we decided to go with Petit-Eclair.

    We booked a package with her that included an engagement session, a photo book that would include 25-30 of our favorite wedding pictures, and her husband as a second shooter.

    We had a fun time with Daria during our engagement shoot. We received so many beautiful images. There were so many favorites that we couldn't decided at first which one we wanted to use for our save the dates. When we finally picked one, Daria offered her help to design our perfect print-ready save the dates. They came out exactly how we pictured thanks to her !

    Our wedding day was a bit crazy, as I’m sure many are, haha. She gave quick direction, but didn’t intervene on those special moments… just captured them. Her organizational skills were exactly what we needed on an important day that tends to be VERY hectic. She also sent us all the final photos within a week !! We were both shocked at how quick she was able to edit them and send them to us !! When I first saw the photos, not going to lie, I ugly cried. They came out perfect. Daria and her husband captured all the beautiful and funny moments from our day. We can’t wait to get the formals printed and gift them to our families ! We also can't wait to receive the photobook. Thank you so much Daria for everything.

    Petit in the name but Major in the skills!!!

    I can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Daria and Mike at Petit-Eclair. They did our engagement shoot and our wedding day photography. Daria is creative, relaxing to work with and truly for us two (who never take pictures) encouraging. She really brought us out of our shells! She guided us to ensure we got the best photos possible. We were so lucky to find her!! The pricing for the packages offered are competitive and there were no hidden fees, which for wedding planning was refreshing. At the end of it all, we received digital access to our images as well as a photo album of all the amazing images she snapped. Mike was a sweetheart to work with too! Thank you so much Petit-Eclair!!!

    Excellent Photographer!

    Petit-Eclair Photography is amazing! They capture the most incredible moments and the most important ones as well! At my wedding we were running behind due to a transportation issue but the team with Petit-Eclair Photography was able to keep us moving and taking all of the pictures that I requested and other ones they were perfect. My wedding pictures are absolutely stunning, I cannot say enough about them! I still look at them and they are timeless! The team gets your photos to you very quickly! You should choose Petit-Eclair Photography as your photographer for engagement and wedding photos!

    Made my day so special

    I promised Daria that I would have someone to help get everyone together, but we were all so distracted that she took the reins and delivered the most beautiful pictures. I sent her examples of what I wanted and she exceeded them. She and her husband were so amazing, especially with such a disorganized wedding, but she pulled it through and gave us a great result!

    Daria and her husband were extremely pleasant to work with, were very professional and were able to put our minds at ease while taking phenomenal photos of our wedding. We especially loved their attention to detail and flexibility to accommodate our requests. They captured each moment perfectly and we are forever grateful to them. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Amazing, would definitely recommend!!

    Daria was the best photographer we could've ever asked for! She took beautiful, creative photos, both posed and candid, that captured every moment of the night. The quality of the photos is outstanding, and her prices are extremely reasonable. Especially for what you get. She communicated so well with us in the months leading up to the wedding, and was always very responsive via text and email. My guests and family also loved her, she was so personable and nice to work with! I looked into a lot of wedding photographers during my search, and I'm so glad we chose her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer for a special occasion!!

    Pleasantly surprised at the high quality

    Being that it was a second wedding for both of us, we were not going to spend a lot on photography. "Just some nice photos" was our attitude. We found Daria at Petit Eclair at a very reasonable price and were SUPER surprised at the quality of her photos! Very happy!

    Petit-Eclair Photography & Design's reply:

    Thank you so much Paul! We really appreciate your kind words and we loved capturing all the wonderful moments of your big day - your awesome dancing skills and your two marching bands! Your wedding was one of a kind and we felt lucky to be there.

    You get for what you pay for

    Our experience was ok. Not the best. Daria and her husband Mike were nice but I would recommend the photographer put some things in there contracts, places they recommend for pictures that you have to pay for and remember to put dinner in there as well. Secondly the picture quality was not good my picture background turned out purple I had no purple at the venue. The schedule was not followed one bit. In the middle of dancing photographer shut the dance floor down to get pictures. No one danced after. It was really the only thing that went wrong with the wedding. The picture book came out cheap I could have done it better. Heck I did do it better with my parents albums that I made.

    Petit-Eclair Photography & Design's reply:

    Hello Andrea! Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry that you don't feel fully satisfied with our services and we wish you have reached out to us first to address any of your concerns. You had a winter wedding and as we were going over your wedding day schedule together before the big day we were exploring some indoor locations for formal photos. Unfortunately, here in Rochester, you have to book most of the indoor spots for a fee that goes to their owner, not to the photographer, so I couldn't possibly add them to the contract. The wedding days can be hectic and things can get a bit off schedule and we, as the photographers, couldn't control the events of the day but we did our best to get pictures of all the important and many candid moments for you. As for the book, I remember showing you a sample during our meeting prior to the wedding and I truly believed that you liked the quality of it. Again, we are sorry that you were not completely satisfied with the final product. We do appreciate your input and would work with our printing vendor on improving the quality. We always strive to give the best shots to our clients and we asked you to pose for us on the dance floor for a few minutes to create that last "wow" photo of you & your husband since we didn't have more couple's photo opportunities due to the weather conditions. We are sorry if that caused the disruption and we hope you loved most of your photos. We really care that our couples get the best experience on their wedding day and we value your feedback. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need anything at all. Thank you, Daria & Mike.
