Back in August of 2011 you may remember I posted Amy & Julian’s Forever Session here . I had a hunch then that this day (their wedding day) was going to be something special. Amy and Jules, love you guys. Thank you for bringing me into your world.

I’m hardly ever speechless.
No words.
These are beyond all of them.
Oh my. Oh my. I stopped and stared at almost every frame. Amazing work.
What a spectacular collection of work. You have the skills.
Not sure what this says about me but my absolute favorites are the last few on the blog of the elderly couple. That post was the first time I ever saw your work and it just spoke to me. Rog and I were in awe. We are still in awe. You amaze.
umm the 5th image down is one of my favorites. I HAVE to smile when I look at it.
Dan, this post is so good! Lovely to have met you, hope our paths cross again soon!! x
come. on.
absolutely, hands down, best series of photographs – frame after frame. Publish a book.
AH MAZ ING. That is all.
Dan. So ridiculous. You are full of true creative talent and this post illustrates that. So genuine. So honest.
i have no words..beautiful is nothing to describe this marvellous year of pictures!!
What an amazing year its been lil danny! You are a truly talented soul. You see the world in such an unique and beautiful way. such beautiful work. cant wait to see where the next 12 months could possibly take you..! xxx
SERIOUSLY GUY!?!?! i want to marry your stuff! ha! SOOOO INCREDIBLE!! blown away, AGAIN! :)
you should be incredibly proud of these images. always a fan.
Hey Dan. We’ve never met. I first came across your work a couple of years ago and I keep coming back every now and then to take another peak. It’s among the best there is.
Wow some truly epic images!
Insanely Great. Think you just smashed 2011!
The pure honesty and minimalism in your images is uplifting.
You’re living my dream Dan! I’m looking forward to admiring your work in 2012.
Sublime.
Killer shots dude…Killer too many faves!
amazingly inspiring work – I was just drawn into each image – look forward to following more of your incredible creations!!!
beautiful! fantastic! phenomenal! I’m such a fan! xo
I support it. I’m inspired by it. I don’t believe it. I can’t understand it. It is you. You are the jetpack of the photography world. That was code. Let it sink in.
after scrolling through these images, i feel like i walked through an era of time that has and hasn’t existed, if that makes sense… it’s like Dan created an entirely exclusive distinct period of history… like the “Dan Era” or something. ;) One of the most astonishing creations I’ve ever witnessed. Bravo.
such an amazing collection, whatta year! cannot wait to see what 2012 brings!! rock on dan
Wow, these are some seriously stunning photos!
Love how you use lines & shadows so much, makes for such powerful images.
Dan, I love the way you see the world. It’s a really beautiful thing.
Incredible work Dan, inspiring stuff. I hope 2012 brings even more adventure.
You win.
Here’s one of my favorite quotes from a man who also has a lot of soul just like you.
” Hair is the first thing. And teeth is the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things, he’s got it all”. James Brown. Now I don’t know whether you still got teeth or hair, but I do know you got it all. Dan O’Day you’re amazing!
Dan
Another incredible body of work and a thrilling surprise to be included in your year wrap up. We are normal people made to feel special by you and your camera. We thank you for capturing our family and making us cry whenever we watch it and for allowing us to show the love and joy we have through your work.

Fantastic work Dan. You have a very unique style. Keep up the great work buddy.
Unreal! Words are failing me at the moment, but these photos are what it’s all about. The song was wrong, it’s not all about the hokey pokey, it’s about this.
hope i don’t break your post w/ my millionth comment, but these are cray cray good.
Hooboy…Just perfect Dan!!!
