I am shooting their wedding on Monday, October 3 this year, hopefully after getting to know…

You strip people down to the core with your imagery and unravel them in a way that no one else could do. So very very impressive
This is one of the best engagement shoot iv’e seen in a long time!
Brilliant series of images Dan! Love the lighting, the sweet moments captured, and the final colouring in your images. Very awesome & inspiring :-)

I’ve just started shooting and that’s inspiring. tres cool
I love them all!! There were very lucky to have you do their session – every image tells a story!
I don’t think I’ve ever commented on your blog before, but felt compelled to this time. This is quite possibly my favourite blog post ever. So rich in story and emotion, and the realness of just being.
The first black and white of them laying in the grass, with the sunflare behind them – speechless.
Holy fricking wow Batman! (Er, Spiderman?) Beyond incredible, I’ve actually lost the ability to string words together. You’re a magician.
Woah. Image 34 maybe the best portrait I’ve seen this year

Just an incredibly emotional set of frames. Wow.
Freakin’ amazing! So so stunning.
is this the raddest couple ever? yes they are. lucky they have the raddest photographer ever. loves.
The tone, the colors.. oh my!
Such style.
Dan, this images are astounding! Not only is this a rediculously stylish couple, but you took these images to and in some case beyond fine art. I don’t envy the couple in trying to pick their favorites. You really did an incredible job capturing the feel and style of Julian and Amy. What a fun couple, what a fun shoot!
So. In. Love. with these x
Finally!!!! those last few (please don’t take this the wrong way), little people photos have at last jogged my memory since I saw your presentation at the wedding workshop in Melb….am I wrong? Does Jeffrey smart inspire you? Too lovely:)
holy shit! your eye is paramount! probably the best set ever by anyone!
there´s just a natural beauty on your work.

Dan, This is such a wonderful image. Love it!

Brilliant Dan.
Class,,,
Oh man! Karen and I need a massive canvas of us like this!
Not sure where to begin with this one really… While in Seattle recently I got to spend some time with many amazing people, many of which were photographers and two of the many of which that were photographers, were Chris and Sarah (brain ouch)… Long story short, one afternoon my amazingly wonderful (almost) best friend Christine…
show 30 comments
Their love and your work are both radiating to the Nth degree. SO good.
Is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious really a word? Because if it is… these important, brilliant and loving images deserve it x
um. what do you mean “almost” best friend? hmmmm? i demand explanation.
until said explanation, all i can say is wow, my friend. you are my inspiration and i loved shooting this with you. i just felt like energy was bouncing off every which way, even though we were shooting in a vast open field where things had no place to bounce off of. thanks for letting me experience such an amazing shoot with you. and chris + sarah: the session would have not been this magical had it not been for the two of you and the love you share.
Wow Dan — love these!
p.s. Christine — maybe you’re not (almost) Dizzle’s best friend, but rather, (almost) wonderful? Like, she’s amazingly wonderful — almost. hehehe. juuust kidding. everybody knows you’re all-the-way wonderful.
Dan – inspiring work, love every single one
dude… your kungfu is strong..
just understatedly lovely.
triple rainbow!……what does this mean??????
Wow. These are absolutely beautiful. Sarah and Chris are seriously the cutest. The up close shots on their faces are my favorites. Great job. :)
Beautiful stuff, Dan! Next we’ll have to get you over to Victoria for a wedding (i.e mine in June!).
I love seeing your perspective on this shoot. I’ve been to this park many many times, and to see the depth and magic you found there is breathtaking.
You’re going to have to slow down on the awesome, my keyboard can’t handle all this drool. Beautiful moments and those colours!?! They are off the hook!
wow….
OMG Dan – I love every single image! Absolutely magical. Don’t suppose you’re heading down to Tassie any time soon?? :-)
Magical!!
on fire again!
speechless. I LOVE these images so much !
you are the definition of talent. absolutely blown away.
Dan – I linked over from Sarah’s twitter feed and feel totally overcome – these are AMAZING. Your line “professional observer” totally clicked with me. That is what I am too – I can never stop observing people – it is my favorite past time. Thank you for these. Amazing vision and just oh goodness. Love them.
Stunning photos!!!! I can feel the love between these 2 beautiful persons!
It’s one thing to see Sarah and Chris as inspiring photographer’s…..in their professional state…..but it’s quite another thing to see them as…..people, a beautiful married couple who are very very much in love. What a beautiful beautiful way you have of telling a story….. these are blissful indeed.
AMAZING COUPLE – AMAZING PICTURES! GREAT WORK!!!
These have turned out amazing dan you must be uber happy with them. I really like the sense of place you have as well, it’s not even just about the couple but also what’s going on around them. bewdiful!! xx
Dan- I got here from Sarah’s blog post and I am just blown away! Your work is fabulous. I love the “professional observer” line, as I am also a professional observer. What a great way to put it.
Sincerely blown away by your work and your vision. Thanks for sharing it.
You gave us-the viewers a tangible feeling from these radiant photos of not only two amazing human beings but of three, yes three… very talented individuals. Thank you Dan!
Beautiful series Dan! Your work is just incredible, and so inspiring mate! Congrats on the Moran, and thanks for sharing you creative vision :-)
the first image was a wise choice for the first image… love.
These pictures are absolutely beautiful!! They depict what love between two people is truly about. Next to ‘relationships’, ‘love’, ‘soulmates’ and ‘respect’ in the dictionary they should put these pictures as that is what they convey to me. Thank you!
I’m in love. You are a true talent.
