  • "He made sure to ask detailed questions to get our input on what exactly we wanted for the photos, but also led the shoot so expertly by directing us, encouraging us, and making us feel comfortable the whole time.

    Lara & Isaac

  • “We were hesitant about getting a videographer and are SO glad we did and that we went with Dale. He was so easy to work with, made us feel comfortable the whole weekend, and truly felt more like a guest at the wedding than a vendor."

    Issy & Nick

  • "We could not be more pleased with the work that Dale did to capture every part of my son and daughter-in-law's wedding weekend. Not only did he capture all the special moments but he produced the most special films for us to have as lifetime keepsakes. Dale is so professional, easy to work with and easy to be around."

    Anne P.

  • "I’ve never been more impressed with a photographer. Dale was professional, prepared and delivered our most favorite family photos. Dale is a great listener and was communicative. I shared with him that I don’t love my side profile and he was thoughtful in his approach to deliver photos from the right angles."
