Choosing a wedding photographer is a deeply personal decision. You are trusting someone to be close to your family, your friends, and the emotional center of your wedding weekend.
The photographs matter, of course. But so does how the experience feels while they are being made.
Couples often come to me wanting beautiful images without feeling staged, rushed, or turned into performers. My hope is always to help them feel calm, connected, and fully present with the people they love.
Here are a kind words from couples who trusted me to photograph some of the most meaningful days of their lives.

“He captured the essence of our Ravello wedding, the scenery, the finer details, and the atmosphere.”
My husband and I chose to have our wedding abroad in Ravello, Italy. Choosing any wedding supplier abroad is a nervous experience, as you are simply relying on reviews and word of mouth. Dan was our best pick.
From the moment we had our initial Skype chat, we both felt at ease. He took the time to keep in frequent contact leading up to our big day and even sent forms for us to fill out with our preferences. This meant he had very few questions on the day.
On our wedding day, Dan was extremely professional. He turned up well dressed and presentable. If anything, he blended in like one of our guests. We didn’t want many staged pictures and wanted very natural shots. For the family photos, he was firm but fair, moving through them quickly so our guests could go and have drinks and canapés.
Our pictures are amazing. We cried when we saw all of them. He captured the essence of our Ravello wedding, the scenery, the finer details, and the atmosphere. He even added additional pictures of Ravello as well as our pizza party the night before, which was the cherry on top. Fantastic service and brilliantly captured memories. Thank you, Dan.
“He guided us into another dimension, almost a spiritual one, allowing us to connect with each other on a deeper level.”
Being a wedding photographer and finding yourself on the other side of the camera is not easy at all. I met Dan during several conferences about wedding photography and I have always admired him — first as a person, and then as a photographer. Finally, I had the opportunity to be photographed by him together with my fiancé.
From the very beginning, his approach with us was truly unique. He guided us into another dimension, almost a spiritual one, allowing us to connect with each other on a deeper level.
But the most wonderful part was receiving his photos: one shot more beautiful than the next. So many emotions came up as we went through the gallery.
I will be forever grateful to Dan for his art. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
“He somehow managed to be both everywhere and invisible at the same time.”
We cannot put into words just how grateful we are to have had Dan as our wedding photographer. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine passion for his craft shone through in every moment of our special day. He went above and beyond, calmly guiding us, capturing every important detail, and somehow managing to be both everywhere and invisible at the same time.
The photos he delivered are nothing short of breathtaking. They don’t just document the day, they tell the story of our wedding, with every emotion, every smile, and every tear beautifully preserved. Looking through them brings us right back to those magical moments, and we know we’ll treasure them for the rest of our lives.
Dan isn’t just an incredible photographer, he’s an incredible person. His kindness, attention to detail, and ability to connect with people made the experience unforgettable. We honestly can’t imagine our wedding without him, and we love him not only for the stunning memories he’s given us, but for the joy and calm he brought to such a special day.
If you are lucky enough to have Dan photograph your wedding, you can rest assured you’re in the best possible hands.
““Almost invisible, but always in the right place at the right time.””
We couldn’t be happier with Dan as our wedding photographer. From our very first call, he made us feel comfortable, calm, kind, and reassured.
We also booked an engagement shoot with him, which was the best decision. It helped us get used to the camera, and the photos turned out amazing.

“His photos captured what it was like being there.”
We couldn't be happier that we chose Dan to photograph our wedding. After struggling to find a photographer's portfolio we liked, Dan was recommended to us, and his portfolio felt both classic and unique.
We knew we weren't going to hire a videographer, so we needed to make sure our photographs really captured what it was like being there. Dan's photos did exactly that and went beyond our expectations. His photos have a journalistic feel rather than something staged, and it makes all the difference when we revisit the photos from that day.
Dan was also so organized throughout the process, communicated well, and always made himself available. On the day itself, he was a very calming presence and gave great direction during portraits. I've been to weddings where the portraits can be stressful and confusing, but this was not the case at all with Dan. We would highly recommend him to any couple.
“He created some much needed alone time for me and my husband.”
Choosing Dan as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only does he take beyond gorgeous photographs, but he truly captures the story of the day.
We didn’t get a wedding video, but after looking at the pictures Dan took, we realized we never really needed one. He brought the day to life and we could relive every moment from his shots.
On the day of the wedding, he was calm and organized, keeping us on schedule and reassuring us that we had plenty of time for all the photos we wanted to take. Above all, he created some much needed alone time for me and my husband.
He took us aside for some photos and told us to take a moment for the two of us, to hold each other close, close our eyes, and soak up our first moments as husband and wife. He photographed that precious time together, and those are some of our favorite shots.
Thank you, Dan, for all your hard work and for sharing your gift and skill as a storyteller and photographer with us.
“He came as a friend and as a photographer.”
Dan Sauer is one of the best wedding and portrait photographers in America, Europe, and beyond. We hired Dan to photograph us for a full day for our Lake Como portraits.

When Dan arrived with a bright smile on his face, he came as a friend and as a photographer. He made us feel so comfortable, capturing a great range of authentic moments as well as some effortlessly natural portraits. He is so great with light, beautiful moments, and compositions.

In scheduling the shoot, Dan was gracious and flexible. He suggested a spot that was well researched, conveniently located, and gave us a backdrop with a lot of variety.
For the shoot itself, Dan arrived early, scouted the landscape, greeted us, offered us water, and we got going. He never rushed us and used several cameras and lenses to capture a variety of images.
As our first photoshoot as a couple, Dan did a wonderful job setting expectations and coaching us through each shot. His professionalism is next level, and his presence is relaxing and peaceful. Time really flew while we were shooting with Dan.

We will treasure these photographs for all of our lives and are endlessly grateful to Dan for his skill, authenticity, artistic capacity, beautiful vision, easygoing manner, and humility.

Finding Dan felt like a miracle. His style and attention to detail really shine through his photographs, but the experience with him was better than we could have ever hoped for.
Dan went the extra mile for us, both in the rescheduling of our big day and in scouting out the best locations for when the light would be perfect.
Dan is meticulous in getting the shot he wants, while still allowing you time to feel like it’s just the two of you and no one else is around. That’s a very tough line to walk, but he does it expertly.

“Throughout the day, Dan was there without being there. ”
Planning a destination wedding isn't easy. You place your full trust in reviews, recommendations from the planner, and images. When deciding on our photographer for our Rome wedding, my gut led me and my husband to Dan.
Dan's portfolio is superb. He was able to capture images with a journalistic feel while maintaining the necessary compositions to create beautiful work. Once we chose Dan, he reached out, set timelines before the wedding, and was a complete professional.
On the day itself, Dan traveled from Florence to Rome, was prompt and personal, and was attentive to space, needs, and timing. Throughout the day, Dan was there without being there. He captured so many hidden and beautiful shots I never anticipated would have been caught.
I look at all of the photos he took and I well up. I cannot thank Dan enough for his artistic ability and passion behind the lens.

He found poses and places to shoot that we hadn't thought of before, and we loved what he did with the pictures. Everything was very natural. We were very comfortable working with Dan.
“He is encouraging through the shoot and takes your ideas and thoughts into consideration. He is a professional and a gifted photographer. ”
Dan did a phenomenal job taking photos us. It was a truly wonderful experience. He is flexible, easygoing, and gives you direction on how to look your best.
Not only that, but he is encouraging through the shoot and takes your ideas and thoughts into consideration. He is a professional and a gifted photographer.
“Dan is so much more than a photographer. He is a storyteller and an artist”
Dan is so much more than a photographer. He is a storyteller and an artist. Not only is he extremely skilled in what he does, but he goes above and beyond to create a great experience with exceptional work to match.
I used Dan for a portrait shoot, and the pictures that came out of that session were better than I could have ever expected. It's hard to find an event and portrait photographer as detail-oriented and editorially artistic as he is. I highly recommend him if you're looking for personalized photography that goes against the cliché grain.
