All I Wanted & More!

I wanted a photographer who wouldn’t just “pose us” for pictures, I wanted someone who would capture the emotions between us and Dara did that and more. The first look when he saw me for the first time, the sweet moments with my granddaughter, the hilarious moment when we realized we forgot the rings, the moment we shocked and surprised everyone as we jumped into the pool after our first dance in our tux and gown, the intimate looks between us and she truly captured the love and joy of our wedding day. To me it’s all that mattered. Dara did this so beautifully! You can even see the water dripping from my feet in the pictures when he lifted me. The sunset was gorgeous and one of our pictures was featured in the paper. I highly recommend Dara!
