On…read moreour initial meeting and greet with them we were immediately struck by how professional, prepared, and organized they were. They came ready with wonderful shoot ideas based on our story, making it feel very personal and special. I loved that they had tips and a printed style guide, which we followed to a T. Leading up the shoot they were great about communicating with us, sending reminders and answering any questions/concerns. During the photoshoot itself we could not have felt more comfortable and truly had so much fun! They knew just how to guide us to make the entire shooting experience very enjoyable and stress-free. You can tell they put a lot of thought into their work and really work with you to capture amazing moments you will cherish forever. We could not have been happier with this experience and highly recommend their photography business!!

I regretted this decision as my husband passed away two months after our boy was born. They were both so apologetic and kind and invited me back when I was ready to take baby pictures for me. I reached out again when I had reached a safe point in my grief when he was 9 months old. They even took some photos of him with his grandmothers as a combined grandmothers, baby, and mommy and me shoot. Not only did they capture one of my favorite times in his babyhood, they we so sweet with all the grandmas. They navigated a grumpy baby and were so understanding. With it still being 90+ degrees in fall you can only imagine. Thank you again for your empathy and kindness it cannot be duplicated.

I trusted my boyfriends referral and VERY happy I did because my photos turned out great!! Daniel really captured the shots I wanted to get. He was super flexible with the location (outdoor locations) and very creative with poses, angles, and ideas once we got there. Him and his wife made me feel very comfortable and had me laughing the whole time. I looked very happy to be graduating college in these photos ;) I was so proud of them, that I framed a few photos and gave them to my grandparents. Daniel was also very prompt with his response time answering all of my questions leading up to the shoot. I REALLY appreciate that. Since my successful graduation photos, I have referred him to a couple of my friends who have recently gotten married. They've booked with him and also said nothing but great things about this husband and wife team - their photos look beyond gorgeous! Thanks Daniel Boone Photography!

They care as much about your big day as you do and go out of their way to make sure all of the little moments are captured along with the traditional wedding pics. They even overcame some "poor lighting" obstacles we didn't expect during the reception. Having a backyard wedding isn't easy, we thought we brought in enough lighting, but some areas were a little darker than we wanted and we thought the photos would not be able to be taken. They just switched lens and kept shooting! I would recommend them for weddings, they are definitely worth the money-especially since you can't go back and recapture those memories.

I don't know if Eliseo rushed through my photos or what. He said they all had minor editing/retouching, but I don't think that's the case. All my photos (all 500-600 of them) have yellow/dark lighting and my photos have the backdrop cut off. Unfortunately, I can't use most of these photos because of the poor quality. When sharing the photos with multiple family members, all commented on the poor quality. It seemed to me that he didn't care about what he was giving me. Unfortunately, the photos look like a compilation of ones people took on their iPhones. I asked Eliseo if there was anything that could be done about the photos. Again, he didn't care to make it right. He told me the photos already had minor retouching. My intention and request was to work with Eliseo to improve my photos. The backdrops were already cut off and there was nothing that could be done about that. However, the lighting could have been modified to make them look less dark and yellow. When I conveyed this to Eliseo, I got a very nasty response back via text saying "I'm a 50x international award winning photographer and if you wanted something different it should have been brought to our attention... as far as professional it does not get any more professional than us thank you". I never in a million years expected this type of disrespectful response and it was very uncalled for. I also didn't know i had to tell a professional photographer to make sure they use good lighting and to not cut off the backdrop. I'm still very upset about everything that happened and again, he didn't even try to make it right. I spent $2,000 for one day photo and video and looking back, I wish I would have picked another photographer. What I will say though, if the lighting on my photos were adjusted and fixed, I would have been okay. The fact that he didn't care to do so and was extremely rude on top of it just left me very dissatisfied.
