My wife and her mother had the pleasure of meeting Dan’Yelle and Travis at the Seattle Wedding Show. Not only were they immediately drawn to the quality of their work, but they were also captivated by their friendly charm and lively spirit. They had a very productive conversation at the show, so much so that they booked them for our engagement/wedding photos on the spot. When my wife returned home that night she went on and on about how impressed she was, and how she couldn’t wait for me to meet them. When I did meet them I got a feel for the passion these two shared not only for what they do, but life itself. It didn’t take long for me to see why my wife had made the decision to hire them to capture our wonderful journey. I sensed a genuine excitement for the experience we were about to embark on.
We decided on a couple different locations for our engagement pictures, and Dan’Yelle and Travis were happy to meet us there. They were very professional with us, and knew exactly how to make it a comfortable experience for both of us. As they were “working” they had such an aura about them. They went to great lengths to put us in the right spots and get just the right the right angles for the shots. All with smiles on their faces. And the photos…terrific!! We couldn’t have been happier with how they turned out. When I posted them on social media, I had a few newly-engaged friends just rave about them, and want to know Dan’Yelle’s contact info so they could get in touch. I was happy to oblige.
During the months leading up the wedding, Dan’Yelle never wavered in her commitment to us. We didn’t have a true wedding coordinator, but she basically ended up becoming just that. She wrote out our timeline and worked with us on tweaking it as needed. She continually checked in with us to see how we were doing, each time reminding us how excited she was to be able to be able to document our wedding day. And she always went out of her way to ask if we needed anything from her. I am so grateful we had such a steady force like her with us for every step of what was a very hectic journey. She was truly a godsend.
Our wedding day was wonderful! Their help with planning paid off because we knew exactly what we needed, and where and when we needed to be. Dan'Yelle and Travis were just awesome with our bridal party and family members. In particular, the patience they demonstrated with the ring bearer and flower girls was outstanding. They are such kind souls and calming influences – it really was a joy to watch them work with the kids. My groomsmen still comment about our photographers and how fun they were to work with. And once again, the finished products themselves are top notch. They both have a keen ability to capture all the right moments in such an artistic way. They proved that it is much more than just pictures – it really is a story. And we are absolutely thrilled with how our story turned out!
I honestly cannot recommend Dan’Yelle and Travis enough. If you are in the market for special event photographers, look no further. You will not be disappointed. Aside from the beautiful pictures we ended up with, I am happy to say we gained two friends in the process. And there is no doubt in my mind that when we are someday blessed with a new addition to our family, we know exactly who we are calling for photos.
