CLIENT REVIEWS

We absolutely could not have asked for anyone better! From the minute we met I knew that it had to be Daniel West to capture our most important day.
His complete professionalism as well as fun
spontaneity put us both at ease and all of our fears
of being photographed
evaporated instantly.

Thank you for taking us out of our comfort zones as well, just because it was so much fun to do!

The photographs as well as the engagement photos have been absolutely incredible and of
world class standard.

Daniel, I knew finding a photographer was going to be difficult for me, because as you heard in the speeches and from me, I am very particular about my photos. With a looming National truck strike, you woke up at 2am and you and your team moved heaven and earth to get to me even earlier than you needed to! Without any sleep you immediately got to work on arrival. When my dress broke causing a significant delay, I was extremely stressed but you guys were great in calming me down and giving the direction needed to get the shots I wanted.

You were my “hype man” and made us so comfortable, especially my husband who hates taking pictures. I cannot wait to see what you captured!

Thank you for everything.

Megan and Spae

Daniel is one of the best photographers I’ve ever met. He helped me with the planning of my trip for the duration of the shoot (transportation, accommodation, etc). Our shoot was delayed due to Covid and 2 years later, we were finally able to do our safari shoot and I was very happy with the photos! Not only were the photos so good, but the entire experience was AMAZING as well! I highly recommend Daniel for his photography services. You will not regret it. And if you are coming from overseas like myself, you can surely trust him to handle all the logistics to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Jaclyn and Aloysius

As we started to plan our wedding in Seychelles the first thing we did was searching for a great photographer there. It came out, that we just didn’t like the style. Even if it sounds arrogant: no one was good enough for us. Daniel was our silver lining. We fall in love with his photographs from the beginning when we opened his website. After our request we skyped the first time. We have to say, that he was very happy to answer all our questions patiently. It was so much fun! He is very kind, professional, funny…. everything a world’s best photographer needs! He also asked about our wishes and ideas. On our wedding day he accompanied us from the getting ready to the “end“. It was like having a friend around, but he was also able to blend in and to become invisible. Our whole family loves him! We also had a post wedding shooting, where Daniel showed us all his creativity. We felt so comfortable all the time.
Daniel, thank you for that amazing experience. It was such a pleasure to work with you. And the photographs are just amazing. We could not be happier about them and your work. We will not hesitate to book you again, even if you have to come to Germany We can only recommend you and your work! THANK YOU!

Christian and Lisa

So basically, our wedding wouldn’t have been the best weekend of our lives without Daniel being part of it.

Daniel, having you by our side organising it all through viruses and rain was just the best ever, and the memories you helped us create were genuinely priceless.

From the pre-wedding shoot to the actual day, he was just the best. He’s creative, understanding, patient and exceptionally talented. We’re just over the moon happy with his vision and delivery.

Thank you, Daniel! We appreciate you to the moon and back!

Desiree and Greg

Daniel was the best photographer ever. I knew when I first saw his page that he was the one! His vibe, his clear experience, his professionalism made it that really – I didn’t need to worry about photos on my day –

I knew he would capture it beautifully and his presence just sets you at ease. Thanks for everything Daniel!

Nicolina and Michael

Daniel is not just a photographer, he is an artist! We are completely overjoyed with our wedding photo album and just cannot stop looking at them. Daniel captures stunning compositions making the absolute best of the setting, and also the stolen moments between loved ones and families which are so precious on a wedding day.

We will be looking at these photos for the rest of our lives and cannot imagine ever tiring of them! Thank you so much Daniel for capturing our day with your wonderful images.
