We were surprised when we received more photos than we expected. Daniel was very professional from the time we contacted him via Yelp, and through the time when we received our pictures.

I want to just take a minute to write a review for Daniel Ryan. Look no further for your photography needs. Daniel was fantastic to work with. I was tasked with planning a celebration of life for my mom. I had photos and some 8mm film movies I needed made into a movie for the event. I met with Daniel and we talked about the ideas I had. I brought my elderly father along to the meeting. Dad and Daniel spoke about my mom and other things during the meeting. Daniel agreed to do the work and even agreed to do a blown up photo for the event. Daniel was very kind and compassionate with my father. Daniel even accompanied me to the set up meeting for the facility. He had terrific ideas and when put in place made the celebration even that much more special. His final work product was exceptional. I highly recommend his services. read more

I've worked with dozens of photographers over the 30 years of being in business and he is one of the most conscientious that I've ever worked with. Unlike many egotistical photographers, he was totally open to my "designer eye" , my thoughts and my suggestions. The lighting and clarity of his photos are amazing and I am proud to share them on my website and with my clients. I wish him only the best in his ascending career and look forward to utilizing his talents again in the future. read more

As a visitor to Palm Springs 8 years ago, we found Dan through an online search and were incredibly happy with the pictures he captured of our 3 generations of family. With 3 9-month olds at the time, his task was not an easy one! Since then, we have used Dan and his wife, Noi, to take pictures almost every year as we visit our family here in town and we've never been disappointed. He knows the best spots, the best way to get good shots of our various groupings and the best tactics for getting our kids engaged and smiling. I would highly recommend Daniel Ryan Photography to anyone looking for quality photography in the Palm Springs area. read more

Daniel and his wife, Noi, were amazing to work with! I was planning my wedding from out of town and Daniel always made it easy to communicate with him whenever I needed by email and by appointment. There were small wardrobe details (cufflinks, groom's socks, bride's shoes, etc.) that I wanted to make sure were photographed and Daniel made sure they were captured on film beautifully. Daniel asked to be present at the rehearsal in order to be able to meet the important members of the family and bridal party that he would be interacting with the following day. I thought that was a great idea and appreciate that he would want to be so involved in the process. Daniel and Noi were honestly a joy to work with! You can tell they definitely love capturing all the details (big and small) of someone's special day. In addition to all of the beautiful prints and multiple DVD copies of our wedding photos, Daniel included some short Go Pro footage with our DVDs. It was incredible to be able to have even short clips of how happy my husband and I were on our wedding day. Daniel and Noi were so great with all of our guests. So many of them made it a point to mention how impressed they were with our photography team. I cannot wait to share all my beautiful wedding photos with all my friends and family, especially since the contract states I own the rights to all my pictures and there are no photographer logos or watermarks! I will definitely be recommending Daniel Ryan Photography to all my friends in the area that are looking for a photographer! I hope to work with them again in the future! read more
