    Daniel is amazing!!!!!! Being in the wedding industry I had many many photographers at my finger tips but I knew that Daniel was special. I can tell just by looking at a photo (without a watermark) that it is one of Daniel's. Our engagement pictures were perfect and on my wedding day he was phenomenal; he got all the shots that were important to my fiancé and I and he kept us on schedule. I cannot wait to see the photos. He is professional, personable, and always knew what to say to the bridal party to keep them smiling and in the moment. This photographer has an amazing talent and especially because I am not a fan of getting my picture taken...he made me feel comfortable and was able to do a lot of candid shots that I'm sure will be fabulous. Thank you thank you thank you. I highly recommend Daniel McGarrity Photography to any couple that want memories to last a lifetime. I will be using Daniel in the future for all of my photography needs!!!!

    Daniel was absolutely wonderful, start to finish. From our very first phone conversation, wherein I peppered him with questions for over an hour, to Day-Of reassurance and after-the-fact follow-up, Daniel was patient, good-humored, and professional without being stiff. In addition to his photography skills, he offered various bits of welcome advice on everything from where to stay on our honeymoon (in Rome!) to good Rehearsal Dinner spots.

    Daniel's work speaks for itself, but let me say - it is amazing, ranging from intimate, vignette-type portraits to architecturally-framed backdrops, sure to stun. His eye for detail and work with lighting are truly remarkable.

    We hired Daniel for both our engagement session and our wedding, and are thrilled with the results. Personality-wise, he meshed well with us, and we felt quickly at ease with his easy-going, jokester manner. Daniel kept me on-track and calm Day-Of, without ever being overbearing or bossy. Even after my wedding, when I needed to vent a bit, he offered an ear and good advice. He is an all-around good guy and an absolutely amazing photographer. I can't recommend him enough!

    Daniel was absolutely amazing! He was willing to work with us from day one and helped us through the entire process, from meeting us at the beach for our engagement photos to the big day! Our photos are so beautiful and he captured every moment. I could not have asked for better shots! I highly recommend Daniel to anyone, he is totally worth it and will beautifully capture all your memorable moments!
    Daniel was more than just a photographer on our Wedding day. All the groomsmen boutonnieres were pinned upside down and incorrectly. Daniel stepped in to pin the boutonnieres correctly and save the day. He gets to know you and the entire wedding party on a personal level. Daniel was involved in the entire wedding and made the day go seamlessly.
    Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!

    Daniel is an absolute professional and expert in his field. His eye for the best shot is uncanny and his style is very natural – none of his pictures are forced/cheesy – instead his pictures capture the best of his subjects in a very real way. The end result is pictures that evoke emotional responses and bring you back to the big day just by looking at them.

    In addition to all of the above, from a practical standpoint, Daniel is also very good at “herding cats” which is something that you will need him to do on your big day (especially if you have a lot of different family/friends attending). He is in charge without being bossy and somehow manages to get everyone where they need to be while having a good time doing it. Bottom line, Daniel is the best at what he does and I highly recommend him!

    I am so glad that we chose Daniel McGarrity to be our wedding photographer. Daniel has a wealth of many years of experience that is evident in the quality of his work as well as the advisement he was able to offer my husband and I, as I struggled with making decisions about packages, timing, photo settings, etc. Daniel was able to extract from us our unique personal essence and taste, helping us to create memorable engagement and wedding photos.

    It was also important to me that I genuinely liked my wedding photographer and trusted him to bring out the best in my husband (who hates having his picture taken) and I as well as our wedding party and family. Aside from being an excellent photographer, Daniel was essential in ensuring that our big day went smoothly even when it seemed that our timeline was falling apart as a result of hair and make up running late and it taking nearly half an hour for my bridal party to figure out how to button those vintage buttons on my dress. Daniel was able to get us back on schedule and corral my mother and get her to loosen up, when she was staring stiffly at the camera like one of the undead.

    If you want beautiful, natural-looking photos that will tell story of your day in addition to someone who can advise you throughout the process, make you laugh, and take charge when he needs to, then Daniel McGarrity is the wedding photographer for you!

    We couldn't have been happier with Daniel McGarrity as our wedding photographer.

    We met Daniel at our first bridal expo and immediately knew that we wanted him to photograph our special day. We met with a few other vendors there as well, which only highlighted how much Daniel stood out from the rest.

    We had very little control over setting our actual wedding date, given that we were having our ceremony and reception at Oriole Park at Camden Yards and had to wait for the baseball schedule to be sorted out before finalizing our date. He was patient throughout the process and often checked in to make sure he would be available for the date we were assigned.

    In the months leading up to the wedding, Daniel used his vast experience to offer various suggestions and bits of advice for wedding. He helped us create our timeline and acted as our "wedding planner" the day of our event as we did not have one. He kept everything running smoothly and always let us know when it was time to move on to the next item on our list.

    He fit in wonderfully with our wedding parties and we received many compliments about his professionalism and dedication to his craft. He was able to chronicle one of the most important days of our lives without intruding.

    Oh yeah... the pictures! Our pictures turned out amazing. From the first teaser picture he posted on Facebook, we've received countless compliments. He captured our wedding and unique venue perfectly. As someone who hates to take pictures and doesn't smile, he somehow managed to capture me smiling all day, without it looking forced or ingenuine.

    We finally revisited all of our wedding pictures (thousands) to create our photobooks months later... Looking through the photos, we were able to relive our day in detail thanks to Daniel's amazing photos.

    We couldn't recommend Daniel highly enough.

    We could not be any more pleased with our photos or Daniel's professionalism. Daniel is a personable, funny and kind photographer who is very VERY good at his job. Daniel went out of his way to make sure he was well prepared for our wedding and knew exactly what we were looking for. He even came along for our walk-through so that he could see the venue prior to the wedding. It was his first wedding at this location and I am very thankful he took the time to come when he was not obligated. He truly did a wonderful job and by far exceeded our expectations. I also would like to note that we had a very large bridal party that may have been difficult to work with, yet Daniel had everyone focused and the photos turned out perfectly. His work speaks for its self and I would advise you to check out his website or Facebook page. After the wedding Daniel shared a few photos with us almost immediately and had all of our photos to us much faster than I expected. We are both very thankful to have found Daniel as our photographer and strongly recommend him.

    Thanks again Daniel!

    When my husband and I met Daniel, we knew right away that he was the right wedding photographer for us. We met him for an appointment in the studio in his house to see what he had to offer. We could tell from the sample photography he showed us that he catches all of the special moments where you can really see the twinkle in everyone’s eyes. He also is extremely easy to get along with, which is so important for a couple and their wedding photographer. The last thing you want is to feel awkward or uncomfortable telling your photographer how you feel on your wedding day. Daniel made us and all of our guests laugh and feel comfortable so that no one was camera-shy the day of the wedding. And, as expected, the pictures turned out great!
    Not only did Daniel do a wonderful job photographing our wedding (and engagement photos!), but he also was extremely helpful with all things wedding-related. He was the first vendor that we booked for our wedding, and was always available to provide insight into any questions we had. He is always very responsive, which is so important when wedding nerves and stress start to get the best of you. We unfortunately had a couple of mishaps with some of our other vendors, and knew Daniel would be there to have our back and give us advice. He even spent the time to give us advice on our travels after the wedding, which was just an added bonus!
    Thanks to Daniel, we have beautiful wedding photos that we will always cherish.

    Daniel was so calm and funny, he made the photography shoot a breeze. He has an excellent professional eye for lighting and scenery so i urge you to take his suggestions, but he is also very responsive to including all the shots you might request. You never have to worry about lighting because he can truly make any light work in an artful way. Daniel's specialty is capturing the essence of you as a couple, and those photos are so much more meaningful than a lot of staged poses though he will surely get all of your family shots as well. Although we were just married, Daniel really reminds you of that joy in every instruction. I will also say that his "yes we absolutely have to have that one" shot percentage for us was more than one per minute. Very high! Though it can be difficult to choose favorites lol. Choose Daniel and photography will be the one thing you don't have to worry about on your big day. It will be the easiest part!

    Your wedding day happens very quickly! I have great memories of my wedding, but Daniel McGarrity captured every important moment that occurred on my wedding day with his photography. You will be shocked with the creativity of his photographs! During the day, he was constantly looking for the best site and best light for the first look and group photographs. The combination of his understanding of flash photography and lighting make his sunset photographs truly outstanding. He keeps a list of all the important photographs that you want and he makes sure that the day runs smoothly! His professionalism and experience made my day stress-free! I knew his photographs were going to be amazing after the engagement shoot, and less than a month after the wedding, the proofs were available! To pick only 50 photographs for the wedding album is impossible!

    I highly recommend Daniel McGarrity!

    Daniel is absolutely great to work with. We used him for both engagement pictures and on our wedding day. For engagement photos, I did not want the typical portrait like pictures. Daniel is so creative and gave us some great pictures that we have actually put on canvas and are hanging in our house. As for our wedding day, he had a good mix of candid and portraits, really capturing the day for us. We also purchased a wedding album through him, which turned out amazing. We couldn't be happier with the pictures and memories that Daniel captured for us!

    We hired Daniel after firing our first wedding photographer for terrible photos and unprofessionalism at our engagement session. We met with Daniel at his studio and were blown away by the quality of his photos. I was very gun shy about hiring someone else after my last experience and Daniel even took a couple of quick pictures of my fiancee to show off his talent. I was thrilled to hire him. He gave tons of direction for the engagement shoot, including wardrobe help, positioning, etc. He was totally involved and listened when we said we were self-conscious about a position. The pictures turns out gorgeous. He's not cheap but talent rarely is. I loved working with him and would hiring him again without hesitation.

    Starting with our engagement shoot, Daniel was a true pleasure to work with! My fiancé and I both agree that we couldn't have had a better photographer and experience. His creativity in addition to his fun disarming personality made our entire event one of a kind. We can't wait to see the wedding pictures because if they're anything like our engagement session... It will make choosing our favorites a difficult task!!

    Absolutely the best!! From the very first meeting in his studio through putting together our wedding album, Daniel has been an absolute pleasure to work with! His attentive and professional manner made working with him a breeze! He was more than a photographer, providing recommendations for other vendors and lots of other helpful tips during our planning process (including to make sure we eat...LOL). The day of, we were amazed at how well he kept everything moving, especially during the lengthy list of formals we had! His humor kept it light so people did not feel rushed nor overwhelmed. In addition, we hardly even noticed that Daniel was there. He was unobtrusive, allowing us to enjoy our special day and allowing him to catch us in our natural, joyful state! When we saw the photos Daniel took, we were floored at how phenomenal they were! He captured the most amazing moments and did not miss a single photo that we "had to have". In fact, he provided more than that! I have looked at several photo scrolls that friends of mine had received from their photographers and I have always found myself wondering , "where is this photo, where is that one?" Never once did this ever cross my mind with Daniel. He more than exceeded our expectations! His attention to detail, lighting techniques, and just overall artistic ability really shined through in our photos! My husband did not meet Daniel prior to us booking him, so at first he was very skeptical about the price. Now, he tells everyone about how great our photographer was and that Daniel was worth every single penny! Hands down, he is our ONLY recommendation for a photographer! Pictures are a very important part of your wedding day and many years from now, they are the only thing that will help to recreate the memories of that very special day. We are so thankful of the lasting memories Daniel has captured for us!!! What are you waiting for? BOOK HIM, BOOK HIM, BOOK HIM!! :)

    Daniel is the best wedding photographer a couple could ever ask for. He was forthcoming and honest during our preparation sessions and helped us create the vision of the wedding of our dreams.

    The best thing you could say about a photographer is that they capture the true personalities of their subjects in an unobtrusive and natural way. Furthermore, whenever needed, you want an experienced photographer to guide the wedding party into the right spots and poses to capture the joyous mood of the day. Daniel, without a doubt, has all of these attributes and so much more.

    We did and would recommend Daniel to any couple out there looking for someone who will provide not only beautiful pictures but also add the humor and fun their wedding day deserves.

    Daniel was the best investment we made for our wedding by far. He was very friendly and knew how to communicate efficiently to our family, friends and especially to us. He takes the time and makes sure everything we wanted was captured and also other pictures we didn’t even know we wanted. He is very creative in the ways he took pictures and we liked every picture we had.

    Even though he is just our photographer, he helped in every aspect during the day of. He gave us suggestions on where we should go to eat, where to take pictures, EVERYTHING. During our sessions, he showed so much excitement every time we took a good picture. This is something everyone should seek in their photographer, because it shows his passion in his work, and you can expect nothing but the best pictures.

    Also as a note, my husband hates to smile during pictures, especially since he cannot smile where it does not look forced. He found ways to where he was able to make the pictures look more natural and got ways where it didn’t make my husband look awkward.

    We especially liked that the pictures were natural and not staged. We didn't want a photographer to tell us to pretend to do something just to get a good picture. Daniel made everything come natural.

    I cannot emphasis on how creative he was/is. He plays color schemes with perfection. We didn’t first understand why he told us to avoid some colors for our engagement pictures until we actually saw the pictures.. THEY WERE GREAT!!!

    For everyone who is looking for a photographer for any occasion, just a piece of advice. Events only last for a moment, but pictures last a lifetime. Do not skimp on your photographer, you will truly regret that decision. You will not be disappointed with the quality and professionalism Daniel brings to his work.

    Also, his assistant was great!

    My fiancé HATES having his picture taken. So when we decided to get married and he knew that he was going to just have to suck it up for an entire day, a great photographer was on the top of my list. It was the only day, possibly in my entire life, where my fiancé was forced to have pictures taken and I wanted them to look freaking awesome. I needed a great photographer who had a calm and likeable but assertive manner.
    To make things more difficult, we got married in Maryland but live in Seattle. Daniel was very responsive through phone/email so my mom and I met him. If you have a mom who enjoys being involved Daniel is a true pro at handling Moms- they’ll love him. Daniel was the only photographer I met with and it was enough that we booked him right there.
    I often shut down when I feel overwhelmed. Daniel was very understanding and did a great job calming and reassuring me.
    Somehow I “convinced” my fiancé to get engagement pictures (it involved a birthday request and some tears). Daniel flew to Seattle and shot some really great pictures. I’m so glad because it gave my fiancé a chance to get to know Daniel and be comfortable. We went to 4 different spots and took many different types of photos. Having the engagement session allowed me to figure out what type of photographs I prefer. I was a little surprised to find that I like more formal photos. Daniel was really good about incorporating this in our wedding photos by taking some gorgeous formal ones.
    The wedding day was awesome and he captured the event, the feelings, and the atmosphere so well. He saved the day by whipping out a pair of Leatherman pliers when my dress zipper got seriously stuck. He also provided an impromptu cake-cutting lesson… who knew cutting a tiered cake was so involved. He blended in so well. I never noticed him unless I wanted to. He took some really gorgeous and amazing photos that I will always cherish and everyone who has seen them agrees. I highly recommend him!

    Daniel was referred to us by a close friend of my husband. We were sold after seeing some of their wedding photos. His work was amazing! We had engagement photos done, and the wedding photos were phenomenal! Not only were we very happy, but we got many compliments on how good they were from our friends and family. Daniel was very easy to work with and kept us on track the day of the wedding. He worked well with our wedding venue and we had a blast during our limo ride!! Thanks Daniel!

    Daniel was great! Any questions that I ever had he was quick to respond and knew the answer! Also, he is very experienced and knew when to guide me in a different direction. He was framiliar with our venue for engagment pictures and ceremony/reception. Also, he allowed for ideas and suggestions. The best thing about Daniel was the timely manner we received our photos. I think the engagment photos were within two weeks and the wedding pictures within a month (which is a great time). When looking for a photographer make sure you get the copyrights to all your pictures!!! Daniel gives you all the photos on a flash drive as well as the beautiful book which you get to make with him and pick the pictures YOU want!!! Seriously, he is great and everyone loved him! His personality and creative thinking really made our pictures amazing! Check out his blog!

    What can I say about Daniel? He is amazing! We interviewed several photgraphers during the wedding planning process and none of them compared to Daniel. At our initial meeting, Daniel made us feel very comfortable and we knew right away that he was the one for the job. He showed us albums from previous weddings he serviced and the pictures were breath taking. Through the whole process Daniel was very quick to get back to us if we had any questions. He was also very flexible throughout the whole process. On the day of the wedding, Daniel was on time and brought his assistant Andrew, who was a great addition. Daniel hung out with the girls while we got ready and was great with my god daughter, the flower girl! He even had a few supplies that we needed, like double sided tape and scissors! My husband and I decided that we wanted to do a first look. I was so nervous before I walked to see my groom, but Daniel was very reassuring and supportive, which eased my nerves a great deal. The first look turned out great and we are so glad we decided to do it! Daniel was great with the bridal party and was able to direct us with ease, and get lots of laughs out of us. He was great during the reception and got along great with the guests. At the end of his time when Daniel told us he was leaving, I was sad to see him go! I even told him he could stay and enjoy the rest of the reception! Poor guy was probably exhausted! Overall, I could just not say enough good things about Daniel. I am so happy we chose him as our wedding photographer!

    Daniel is a phenomenal photographer! And a wonderful person too! As soon as we met with him the first time, we knew he was the photographer for us. He is professional, talented and creative and very fun to work with. I cannot recommend the engagement photos enough … my husband and I weren’t originally planning to do them, but Daniel convinced us and it was one of the best decisions we made! I left the engagement shoot, which we did in Fells Point, thinking “Our wedding photos will be beautiful and we are going to love having Daniel there on the big day!” That kind of peace of mind for a bride … priceless! On the wedding day he was fantastic … he kept my husband and I calm, kept everyone on schedule, kept the little kids laughing and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly … including going to find the DJ when I got worried that the DJ had the wrong version of our father-daughter song. Daniel made sure we were his number one priority the whole day … he made sure we could relax and enjoy ourselves. And the photos … the photos are incredible! I don’t know how we’ll ever decide which ones to put in the album! We did photos with the bridal party in the Hampden area after the wedding … those photos would be better defined as art than as wedding pictures! They are gorgeous. I smile every time I look at our wedding photos. In 50 years, when the edges of our memories of our wedding day are starting to get a little fuzzy … we are so glad that we will be able to look back on Daniel’s photos and relive every beautiful moment of our special day! If you’re looking for a photographer to capture the “feeling” of your day, the moments big and small, the joy and antics of all your guests … I can’t imagine finding anyone better than Daniel!

    When choosing a wedding photographer, it's important to hire someone that your personalities mesh with. We interviewed several different photographers and as soon as we met Daniel we knew he was the right fit for us. He has a fun personality and he is a very knowledgeable and talented photographer. We had never hired a photographer before so we were not sure the questions to ask, or what we needed to know. Daniel took over and was so helpful and informative about what it would be like on our wedding day, and what we needed to consider in hiring a photographer. He is very good at what he does, and he obviously enjoys it.
    We had an engagement session with him and that's when we realized what a professional he really is. He made those awkward kissy poses seem natural for us and he really captured quality photographs. We were extremely happy with our engagement pictures and knew that our wedding pictures would be even better......and they were!
    Daniel is very prompt, in fact whenever we had an appointment with him, he was always there early, waiting for us. A nice perk with Daniel's package is that he will visit your wedding venue with you before your wedding to scope out good spots for photos. This was important for us and it really helped on the wedding day to make the most of our time. We enjoyed our time with him and he even made the time to sit down and chat, and share a bottle of wine with us at the vineyard to get to know us.
    On our wedding day, Daniel was a true professional and made us feel very comfortable. After your ceremony is a special time to just be together by yourselves for pictures and Daniel captured our love in those photos. Not only was Daniel great when dealing with us, but he excelled in dealing with all the different personalities in our wedding party. He was able to control the group, even after a night of drinking, and captured great pictures. Daniel has special tricks he uses in order to make people do things or act certain ways to make the pictures look like they're candid. We also received compliments from the owner of our venue about how great Daniel was to work with.
    As far as price....you get what you pay for. Photography was not something we wanted to skimp on, because these pictures will last forever. Daniel offers competitive prices and really does an amazing job, taking his time with you and knowing what your personalities are like. Our engagement and wedding pictures were so good, our friends were jealous. We would recommend Daniel to anyone and we are grateful he was our wedding photographer!

    When planning a wedding you have approximately 3,504,675.8 decisions to make. At some point you will have a minor (or major) breakdown and be totally overwhelmed by all the choices in each category (flowers, the dress, the hair, the bridal party, and the list goes on).

    Let me make one choice a little easier for you. A good friend gave me this advice: the photos are what you will have forever. The flowers wither, the dress never gets worn again, the food gets eaten- therefore your most important vendor is your photographer.

    Daniel McGarrity is basically a superhero. Seriously- ask him to unbutton his shirt and take off his glasses and see what happens.

    He dealt with our crazy family, made everyone comfortable and produced hundreds of pics that are beautiful beyond words. He captured the day- every little detail and every special moment- with perfect elegance. Most importantly- he captured the “feel” of our wedding. I look thru my album and recall exactly how the emotions of the day unfolded: excitement, nervousness, some tears, and lots of laughs.

    Our ceremony pictures are especially impressive since he documented the entrance, the vows, the kiss, etc, but I never even noticed him in the room. There was no annoying click and flash of the camera. It’s like he was invisible yet he was able to capture each special detail. That takes talent!

    He took the time to get to know us and knew going into the day what we anticipated and how he could facilitate getting everyone together. His price was totally fair (especially compared to other DC area photographers who were total overpriced snobs) and I would have paid three times the amount he charged for the amazingness we got.

    Do yourself a favor and meet this guy, see his work and then hire him immediately! Happy planning!
