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

Daniel not only takes exceptional photos but to me it was his warm personality and ability to make everyone feel comfortable that really stood out! Daniel is professional, he knows what he wants and is highly creative, on top of all that he kept me calm through many stressful moments on my wedding day. My husband and I cannot express how grateful we are to have had Daniel part of our special day. Thank you!!!!

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.

Kindest of regards,

Chris & Kelly Davey

In my mind the photographer is the most important, the photos are really all you have to take away from THE day. I told Chris (my fiancé at the time, now husband) I want the best photographer,

From the moment I saw Daniels photos I knew he was the guy I want to capture our special day. He is an artist, not an ordinary photographer. Anybody can pick up a camera and shoot, but it takes an artistic eye, a key observation and knowledge of people to create the master pieces of art that Daniel does.

From day 1 Daniel was extremely helpful, friendly and absolutely amazing, right through to the end. Every single image he has shared with us is absolutely spectacular. I can’t thank him enough for everything he has done. Our guest could not stop raving about him. Comments after the wedding was something along the lines of; that photographer at your wedding was so fantastic and what a nice guy! We were sad to say goodbye.

We wish you all the success Daniel! Thank you again for everything!

What an unbelievable experience. Daniel West exceeded all expectations before, during and after our wedding day. A true master of his craft. Thank you.

My husband and I chose Daniel not only because of his amazing photographs but also because we liked his personality and thought he would be great for the guests. I am so glad we did! Everybody loved him and had only good things to say about him. My brother told me immediately after the wedding that he also wanted to book Daniel for his wedding. Thank you Daniel for making our day that extra bit more special and making us feel amazing.
Best wedding photographer out there!

From my first contact with Daniel for a pre-wed and proposal shoot in S.Africa, he has been absolutely helpful and goes beyond his means to cater to our request and expectations. Daniel is meticulous and was detailed in his planning for the itinerary of the whole day shoot. On the actual day of the photoshoot, Daniel is extremely patient and you will not have the feeling of being rushed. We are absolutely grateful and happy to have engaged him as a photographer as the pictures turn out stunning and it was the theme and feeling for how we want the photos to convey! We highly recommend to engage Daniel as your once in a lifetime photographer!

Planning for a wedding can be both stressful and nerve-wrecking to say the least. We can’t emphasize how grateful we are to have had Daniel as our photographer. On our engagement shoot, he made us feel like we were naturals in front of the camera. The manner in which he took the pictures made us even forget that he was there. Daniel’s use of lighting and ability to capture those sneaky moments that you would simply not think of is absolutely amazing. Daniel’s skills as a photographer are incomparable but what sets him above the rest was his ability to understand us, make us feel at ease and offer great suggestions before and throughout our special day. He really will go above and beyond for his clients and we feel exceptionally lucky that he was available and willing to work with us for our big day. I would highly recommend Daniel West to any and everyone!

Daniel was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding, and our wedding was a dream come true! Daniel is beyond talented at what he does, he is an incredible photographer and I cannot begin to describe how happy we are knowing that he captured our day and captured the essence of our wedding the way we envisioned! 10/5 stars!!

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.

We only have praises to sing about Daniel, besides his professional and easy manner, he was well prepared, went over and above what we expected and delivered some of the most beautiful photos (in record time!). His skills with low light settings and endless energy ensured he caught every special moment. We can only be grateful to have been in such good hands on our special day, not to mention his great personality that added some much needed calm and structure. Excellent work and we sincerely recommend his services.

I don’t have to say anything about the photos Daniel took. Our wedding photos are out of this world. And everyone can see that.
But what people can’t see looking at these photos is that the same quality and professionalism that everyone can see on photos is happening behind the camera.

It is shame that people who see our photos will never know how awesome is that person who took these photos.

Daniel constantly made us laugh. Before the wedding I was worried that I don’t know what to do in front of the camera but Daniel was brilliant guiding us! And even though we had a time limit and tight schedule I didn’t feel rushed at any point on my wedding day. He created a very relaxing atmosphere and also worked very well together with a videographer.

The day after wedding, when we finally had time to check our phones we found that Daniel had already sent us our first sneak peak photos! What? How is this possible? Did he even sleep?

Thank you so much Daniel for taking time to come and be part of our wedding. We had a perfect day and thanks to you we now have all these memories captured. We really could’t ask for better photographer! You are so talented! Keep doing what you doing!
Lekker!

Daniel was super behulpsaam van begin tot einde.

Die mooiste fotos geneem en elke oomblik vasgevang soos geen mens sal kan indink nie.

Meer as gelukkig met my keuse en sal hom aanbeveel enige dag vir elke bruid daar buite.

Daniel, baie dankie en dit was ‘n fees.

Having Daniel as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made!! He goes above and beyond to get the photos he want. We’re not the type of couple who go for photoshoots at all, but Daniel made is feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He is out and out a complete professional. We would highly recommend Daniel for anyone looking for a wedding photographer and are so excited to see the results!

What an AMAZING experience!
The first time I met Daniel it was the day of the shoot he was so friendly and talkative and so kind and immediately he made you feel welcome and comfortable. He knew our names and not for one second made you feel unwanted or uncomfortable. I Absolutely Loved working with this talented photographer! It was definitely the most fun I have ever had with a photographer.
His work is unbelievable and he is so fantastic to work with. I would definitely recommend using him as your wedding photographer to capture the beauty of you and your husband on that special most memorable day. Thank you Daniel for your amazing work and dedication to your work. You are just great, and we are so so grateful that you were our photographer. We can not wait to see what you’ve created with our photos. You are so awesome, keep up your excellent work xx

Was nothing but a pleasure to have Daniel be our wedding photographer. He is kind and makes a person feel very comfortable and our photos are honestly PERFECT. Highly recommended.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Daniel. He was able captured the the important moments of the wedding and give insight into how the vide was on our special day through his photographs. We really appreciate your creativity and direction through out the day. We also applaud you on having patience and making us feel comfortable at every moment. Thank you for capturing the wedding as if it was through our eyes.

“Sometimes there is no next time. No second chance. No time out. It is now or never”

I am all head and Jeanette is all hart. She the extrovert that never says no for a photo opportunity or social media, I on the other hand prefer to live my life privately with moments captured in my memory.

I am a person for the detail, fussy and a bit OCD and she the go with the flow, all smiles and pleasing. And so with this challenge at hand Jeanette set out to find that photographer/artist that would tick all of the boxes. Over a coffee in the good old days before lockdown (for which I was late) I rushed into what was Bootleggers, bit flustered and still hype from my meeting that overran. Jeanette was having coffee with Daniel already. I just fell into the conversation and within minutes I felt very comfortable. There was just that chemistry, which to Jeanette and I was the deciding factor if we were deadlocked on who to pick.

We had to postpone our Nuptials three times – thank you C19; but Daniel stuck with us, and we with him because of that chemistry. (Only later did we find out about all his awards and accolades.)

On our big day he was present, but not there. That made such a difference as one could just be. Be yourself, be in the moment and actually experience your own wedding. Never did it feel like he was intruding or interrupting the flow he just blended in seamlessly. By then he had gotten to know us which also made  us feel at ease, never did it feel like  photoshoot or pictures force posed like models. His calm and engaging demeanor made  those “mandatory” pictures a fun event without detracting from US………………and when we were alone with just him it always felt like we could breath, exhale, soak in that one day, a minute at a time whilst he was working his magic.

It has now been 11 days since our BIG day and whilst he is looking us look fab working away in his studio we cant wait to see the final product. We know it will be memories captured to be remembered and shared –  that will be timeless and part of our perfect day.

Daniel West, wow, where do we begin… An absolutely brilliant photographer is an understatement. He is an artist and so incredibly passionate about he’s work. From our engagment shoot, we knew that this is the person we need to shoot out wedding day. We knew he was the best from day 1. The picture quality is overwhelming, he is extremely creative and the photos are worth every cent…. He makes you feel comfortable throughout the shoot and creates an exciting atmosphere, the service was amazing. I would highly recommend Daniel West to anyone who is looking for the best. Thank you Daniel for capturing our special moments and making our dream wedding a reality.

Great photographer and always doing his best.

Daniel did a phenomenal job.

He didn’t just come to perform his duties and then leave.

He was invested in every moment.
Even as my wife and I look through our album a couple years later, the work Daniel has done for us is still far higher quality than some other photos we have seen.

That’s actually what my wife and I wanted.
To look back on our day and remember everything as if it happened yesterday.

Thank you Daniel.

Absolute best decision we made!! Daniel West captured our wedding day perfectly and every moment in such detail. Will recommend him any day!!

Daniel really went above and beyond for our wedding day, even with us planning from a different country Daniel was able to capture our special day and make us feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera! We loved working with him, he really added that extra touch to our day and was just phenomenal!

From beginning to end, Daniel was honestly nothing short of amazing. I reached out to Daniel to assist me in photographing my engagement/proposal and he helped me conceptualize the day, gave me tips on how to keep everything a secret from my now fiancé and on the day, Daniel somehow made all the nerves disappear. Through the use of his quirky jokes and bubbly personality, Daniel somehow managed to make us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera (and managed to maintain the secret too!). Last but most certainly not least, the photo’s (and video) came out EXECPTIONALLY and I couldn’t be happier that Daniel was there to allow us to cherish this incredible moment forever.

Thank you Daniel, I appreciate all the effort you went to for us. Highly, highly recommended photographer.

Daniel ons wil net graag baie baie dankie se vir ons ongelooflik mooi fotos wat jy op ons groot dag vas gevang het.. vir die wat wil weet Daniel was baie professioneel en kreatief ek sal jou enige dag verwys indien iemand n fotograaf soek vir hulle groot daggie… is ongelooflik fotos wat ons kan koester vir die res van ons lewe ..

Exceptional photographer. Very attentive to your expectations.

Went above and beyond. He even helped lit the candles just so he could get the photos of the lit candles at the reception.

He moved around and took photos from every angle without being distracting and his camera does not make a lot of noise.

A very friendly guy too. Great with children. Made my one year old niece laugh for the photos.

The photos were exactly what I wanted.

Having worked with Daniel West a few times as marriage officer, I was super impressed with his photographic art, his ethics and his way of dealing with people.

So, when my big day was about to arrive, I had no doubt in my mind that Daniel would be the man to do our wedding photos. And he did a great job in all aspects of the shoots.

When asked if he would shoot over two days, there was no doubt in his mind and he instantly agreed. Friday and Saturday he took his time and made us feel comfortable and relaxed and did his magic.

We only got a sneak peak of some of the photos that was taken on Friday and Saturday, and I am amazed, astonished and overwhelmed all over again.

Thank you Daniel, we love and appreciate you for what you did. Stunning work.

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! ❤️

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!

Daniel is simply AMAZING! He really is more than a photographer. From the beginning through to the end he offered endless support,advice and guidance. On the day itself we felt in safe hands and it was like having a friend there with you ! His experience and professionalism shines through, allowing you to relax and have the best day of your lives ! If you’re thinking about booking him for your wedding , DO IT!!! You won’t be disappointed ! He will capture memories that you will cherish forever.

Lots of love Lorich and Marchant.

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.

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.

Daniel and his team are amazing! I cannot rave enough about them! Our anniversary pictures are beyond beautiful. And they made us feel so comfortable as the pictures were being taken. Thank you for perfectly capturing our day.

Absolutely awesome from start to finish. He did a fantastic job, he was polite and professional at all times. Couldn’t have asked for a better job.

Daniel did an absolutely amazing job at capturing my wedding day. I am blown away by the emotion he managed to document with his pictures… My husband and I are in awe of his work and his imagination when it came to our photoshoot. He was professional, considerate and funny too! He made my husband and I feel comfortable during our photoshoot (it was our very first photoshoot together).

We knew from the moment we saw Daniel’s work that he was going to be our wedding photographer, no doubt.

The thing I love most about Daniel and his work is the natural feel that comes with it. He did not need to add unicorns to our background for our pictures to be magical, all it took was his keen eye and his camera.

I am so glad we got the opportunity to have our wedding captured by him. We highly recommend him, to all couples who want to have mind blowing wedding pictures.

Memories that will last forever and the epic pictures to depict them! Hats off to Daniel! Thank you for being awesome!!!!
