Every single time she has given us something far beyond photographs. She has given us memories we will treasure forever. Nicole is the most genuine, loving, beautiful soul. From the moment you meet her, you feel safe, understood, and completely cared for. She pours her whole heart into her work, and it shows in every image.

During seasons that were tender, emotional, and overwhelming, Nicole showed up with warmth, patience, and so much love for my family.

Chris was recommended to us by a close friend who used him for their wedding. We not only hired…read moreChris because of our friends wedding photos (very natural w/o much photoshop) but he was willing to talk business and work within our budget. We had our engagement photos and wedding photos done by him and his team. The day of the wedding him and his assistant were on time, teamed up with our videographers, and delivered very good photos with minimal photoshop. Tips for future couples using Darnall Photography : prior to the wedding let him know the schedule, show him specific poses that you would like in advance, and designate someone to be responsible to position the bride's veil and train.

My husband and I got married just over 4 years ago and to this day every time I think of our…read morewedding I get fired up about the terrible pictures!!! Here are just a few issues that come to mind years later: * HE WAS LATE! - We got married at the Surf & Sand in Laguna Beach and Chris Darnall didn't even show up on time! He blamed it on the fact that he couldn't find parking! That's when you suck it up and valet! Needless to say we got absolutely ZERO photos of myself or my husband getting ready!! (We also got no photos of the dress, shoes, rings, etc) *He wasn't prepared! - He had no idea where to set us up for photos so the entire wedding party was following him around the resort like a herd of cattle. He said he had worked at the Surf & Sand before but that was hard to believe by the way our wedding day unfolded. Total Chaos! *His timing was horrible! - He waiting until after our evening wedding to take our group wedding party pictures. He definitely didn't account for the lighting because the sun was set and all of the picture of our wedding party came out dark! *Unprofessional! - If our wedding day experience wasn't bad enough, when our wedding photo book arrived it was damaged! We let his know the book came damaged and he said he would replace it but never did!!! Whatever you do, do NOT use Darnall Photography for your wedding day! ...You might regret it, just like we do.
