Simply the best wedding photos I have ever seen.

Where do we even begin on Dan‘s photos? We honestly could not be happier. Each photo was more stunning and captivating than the last, we can’t even put into words how grateful we are for having Dan capture our day.

Dan's ability to capture candid moments is truly remarkable. His photos go beyond just capturing people in the frame; they capture the energy, the essence, and the joy of the day. Looking at his photos allows us to relive and re-experience not only our precious moments, but he managed to seek out the magic and gorgeous moments that we were not even aware of. Dan has a talent for then bottling that energy and immortalizing it through his lens.

What sets Dan apart is not just his talent, but also his personality. He has a warm and friendly demeanor that made everyone around him feel comfortable and at ease. As he snapped away, he encouraged us to be ourselves and carry on naturally. Most of the time, we were unaware that he was capturing these moments until we saw the photos later. This is a testament to his ability to blend into the background and capture genuine, unposed moments.

Communication with Dan was a breeze throughout the entire process. His pre and post-production communication felt more like talking to a friend rather than a supplier, whilst also being highly professional throughout the whole process. He took the time to understand our preferences and vision, ensuring that we were on the same page. On the day of the event, he put in a long and dedicated shift, working tirelessly to capture every important moment. The turnaround time for the images was incredibly fast, and we were presented with a wealth of breathtaking photos to choose from.

However, this led to a delightful dilemma. Each photo was so stunning and enchanting, making it difficult to narrow down our selection. We were spoiled for choice with the sheer amount of amazing photos he provided us with.

In conclusion, we couldn't be happier with Dan's photos. His talent, warmth, and genuine passion for his craft shine through in every image he captures. Working with Dan was an absolute pleasure, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who wants their special moments beautifully captured for a lifetime. Our biggest piece of advice is to let Dan have free rein to do what he does best, you will not be disappointed. The photos he took whilst roaming our wedding are some of the most beautiful photographs of our favourite people that we have ever seen.

Thank you, Dan, for capturing our day in a way that truly exceeded our expectations. Your photos are absolute works of art that we will cherish forever.

Vegas wedding party

Dan photographed both our engagement shoot and then our wedding party when we got back from vegas.
We had a vegas theme wedding party and Dan photographed the whole evening.
Dan captured our night PERFECTLY, he captured all the details we wanted all the group shots and most importantly his candid shots.
Dans candid shots are the reason I would continue to book him over and over, he really just captures the joy in every moment.
The way he uses light and movement to bring his photos to life is amazing.
He is such a genuinely nice guy, down to earth and blends in with guests so well.
The turn around from event to receiving you album back is unbelievable! We received our photos back in less than a week! For comparison we waited 5 weeks for our photographer we used in vegas!
I can’t stop looking through the photos because I am obsessed!
If you book Dan for your event, trust me he is worth every single penny!
Thanks Dan xx

Beyond amazing

What can I say, words just do not express the gratitude and appreciation we have for Dan. We would ONE MILLION PERCENT recommend Daniel McClane Photography to anyone who is looking for a photographer!

He is the most amazing photographer but most importantly he is a super genuine and lovable guy. From the day we booked him for our wedding, to when we received our pictures, Dan was brilliant. He was friendly, attentive to our wishes and made it feel like our special day was special to him.

On the actual day we couldn't have asked for anything more, he was there first thing and he even stayed after our first dance to catch some great party shots. Dan integrated into our day rather than anything being forced, which we did not want, we wanted mostly natural shots capturing the day and only a few posed photos. By the evening I genuinely felt like he was one of the wedding guests and wanted him to stay for the rest of the celebrations. In between set ups when me and my now husband were waiting for guests to be seated etc, Dan would chat with us about everything and anything, and then straight back to business when the time came, he didn't feel out of place, he wasn't in the way and for 2 people who don't like their photos being taken it wasn't awkward at all. And we've had nothing but great feedback from guests who sing Dans praises.

Most importantly, the pictures are phenomenal, they are everything and more that we could have ever wished for. We set up a slide show on the TV with our children and my mom and my 5 year old son actually started to cry. Dan managed to capture the magical feeling of the day with natural shots, that looking back through them brings back the emotions of our wedding day.

Dan, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for not just the amazing photographs but for being such a big part of our day, because when we think back and reminisce, you are a big part of it ❤️

P.s. he is also great at helping put bracelets on when all the bridesmaids nails are too long!

Book Dan for the best photos & vibes!

We recently worked with Dan to capture our wedding day, as well as pre events and an engagement shoot. Dan’s work speaks for itself, every photo is an artwork. He put us at ease at every step, and was so accommodating to all of our friends and family along the way, as well as all the suppliers he worked alongside! By the day of the wedding he felt more like a guest than supplier. He turned around all the photos super quickly, and we are currently working with him to finalise our album which will be the perfect memento. If you’re thinking about booking him do it now, and you’ll have the best day and pictures!

Dan is a true artist and one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet!

The moment I saw Dan’s work I knew he would be the photographer we booked for our wedding. Dan was easy to get hold of and communicate with through the booking process.
On the day of our wedding Dan was amazing, the perfect mix of us not even realising he was there and feeling like we were spending the day hanging out with a friend we had known for years.
The images Dan went on to send us are so beautiful, going through them was truly like reliving our wedding day. Not only were there hundreds of them, but he turned them around in less than a week!
Thank you Dan, we are so happy we found you and your work

James and Sophie’s wedding Sept 2023

I would highly recommend Daniel. He was extremely transparent throughout the whole process and on the day, accommodated every request, and we came out with pictures we will treasure for a lifetime. The images themselves were a lovely mix of ‘candid’ photos we didn’t even know were taken as well as iconic images of the big moments, also we received the photos less than a week after which was a really pleasant surprise. We can thank you enough Daniel and we are so happy with how you captured the day, and we would recommend you highly to anyone thinking of booking.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We were absolute thrilled with the photos we received from Dan of our recent wedding. This approach is exactly what we wanted, relaxed, friendly and discreet. Dan blended into our wedding and felt like a part of our friends, and someone we had know for years.
We are really pleased with the results and can not recommend him enough.
I was a little worried about feeling on edge, but Dan quickly put us at ease and made us feel easy to relax and non look Gorky on the photos.
Thank you Dan! we hope to keep in touch :)

A truly talented photographer

Dan’s work ethic is second to none, his whole process was easy, from booking to organising and even meeting up to discuss our requirements.
He has a very rare talent of capturing the whole experience without you really knowing he’d captured it. He spent so much time with all of our guests and captured every inch of our day.
For the work and time he spent with us he was worth every penny, please consider Dan for your wedding you absolutely won’t regret it, thanks Dan

The most friendly, relaxed guy. Just amazing.

I don't even know where to begin. From the minute we contacted Dan we knew he was the guy for us. Seeing his work and his eye for candid shots was just the vibe we were after. Dan was so relaxed and easy going which was just a breath of fresh air as I'd heard horror stories of some photographers being sticklers for schedules. But our guests, venue and other suppliers couldn't sing his praises enough. He worked tirelessly throughout the whole day and captured the most beautiful shots. Some we didn't even realise he was there for. We cannot rate him enough, words can't even express just how amazing he is. But I sure hope a few snippets of our day can show you. Thank you so much again Dan, you made our day that bit more magical.

Highly recommended wedding photographer

I have known Dan for over 10 years so when we booked our wedding there was no question who we wanted to take our wedding photos. Dan’s fine art and documentary style photographs was exactly what we wanted, and how we wanted our day to be remembered- relaxed and fun.
Dan made everyone feel comfortable from the moment he arrived and just fitted into the day naturally.
Sadly my Dad had not been well and passed away just a few hours into the day after our wedding. I was so worried to look at the photos, not knowing if there would be a good photograph of him and me together. I need not have worried- there were many. I will be forever grateful to Dan for documenting precious memories of our wedding day and also my Dad’s last day with us.
I would not hesitate to recommend Dan to anybody. He is the perfect wedding photographer. From his relaxed attitude to the quality of his photographs, you wouldn’t find a better wedding photographer.

An amazing photographer and a pleasure to be around

Dan has a natural eye for great photography and is always there to take the perfect shot.
We hire Dan to shoot our wedding and asked for a more documentary style of shoot and Dan captured the day perfectly
