Daniele Carol Photography

h nothing but capturing the special day, and I believe she does that wonderfully! At one wedding I saw she had a timeline with everything the bride had wanted and she made sure she hit everything on the list at the time it was supposed to happen. She is very precise and professional when it comes to this. When there is a limited amount of time to get things done and certain people are not where they are supposed to be that timeline needs to change. I have also noticed she isn't just a photographer at a wedding, she becomes part of that family, even for just a day....its the best and only way to get some of the pictures to capture the day in its entirety. I have seen her pinning boutineers, fixing dresses, consoling brides. She is very professional, but at the same time takes every client personally, which isn't something you can say about every photographer. The fact that one or two people, out of the hundreds that she has worked with, weren't happy just proves that you can't please everyone and that isn't necessarily Daniele's fault.

in editing as she does for "friends". I would not normally have left a review. But i had noticed some poor professionalism from danielle. After noticing danielle's facebook I was drawn to look at these reviews including the "negative" review. That bride didn't say anything that terrible. she said what she felt and seemed justified. Danielle went to facebook at told her friends to post all these reveiws (notice they are all in the same few days?)and overloaded her facebook with put downs to the bride and encouraged her friends to talk poorly about this bride. She even gave out the code to look at the LOCKED pictures of this brides wedding!!! UNBELIEVABLE! She is border line harrassing this poor bride. I did look at the pictures...because i was able to type in the key code...and the pictures were "ho-hum" they were ok, but nothing like what she does for friends. which is the same situation with the wedding i stood in. I was seriously concidering hiring her to do my family portraits, but not anymore. I can look past a poor review, but not the way she is harassing her client. I would never take the chance to be treated the same way. Very sad, because she is a very talented photographer, there is no doubt about that. but clients do not deserve to be treated poorly.

e captures the true essence and soul of a person. She makes each photo session unique and individual to the personality of our family, in that particular moment in time. We have entrusted her to capture moments such as the first few days of our child's life, the growth of our family from 3 to 4, the last days of those gorgeous curls on our little boys head before he got his first hair cut. We have also had her take pictures of extended family such as the most recent "cousins" pictures we had done this summer. My entire extended family, as well as the dozen or so friends I have referred to her, have all been extremely impressed by her talent. She is not only talented enough to give you incredible pictures of the most important moments in your life, she is talented enough to get shots you never expected. The kind of picture that will speak a thousand words to the very heart of you. These are pictures you could never pay enough for, and the ones that are nearly impossible to look away from. Daniele is more than a talented photographer, she is a gifted woman with the ability to show you something about your family you never saw. And let me tell you, you will love what you see. Though my husband and I were married before she lived near us, I joke with him often that we will have to get married all over again just so she can take the pictures! If you choose her for your wedding photographer, you will not just have a photographic album of the day, you will have memories you are proud to display through out your home for what they truly are, art.

st to say they were fantastic. We got so many compliments. So, after we got engaged it was a no brainer to go with Daniele! She did a great job and was super nice to work with. She set up an itenerary for me, which really helped alot in planning everything. She even talked with Matt, the DJ, and Joanna, the Upfront banquet manager and got them in on her itinerary as well! She was fabulous and we couldnt have asked for a better photographer. She took tons of pictures, and did a fabulous job at directing our crazy wedding party! I would recommend her not only for her pictures and quality, but also for her personality and wonderful expertise she brings to your event!

nd her pictures simply gorgeous - both timeless but also having so much style! I would strongly recommend her over anyone in the state.

everal packages and explained each package in detail when I had questions so we could pick the best plan for each daughter. Even though one wedding was significantly smaller and more budget conscious, you would never know it from the pictures. Dainele took bothof my girls and made them feel like movie stars. We couldn't have found a better photographer. It felt like forever while we waited for the pictures. We waited six weeks for one wedding and four weeks for the other wedding. It was worth every minute of waiting! Daniele works very hard to make sure communication is clear. She does what she says she will do. When our third daughter gets married, Daniele will be the first one I call.

ed in December 2009 and then went to CHINA for a year to teach english. She had already been in touch with a friend who would do the photography and her boyfriend would be the dj. When they got home from China we find out that he's not a dj so now we need to find one. Luckily they did. Then one month before the wedding the "friend" CANCELS!!!!!!! The kids start trying to find another photographer for the wedding. This time a REAL professional!!! The day they called Daniele she had just had a cancellation for the day of their wedding. To the couple who cancelled thank you, your loss was most assuredly our gain. Daniele did an absolutely OUTSTANDING PROFESSIONAL job. She knew exactly what to do and when to do it. Her pictures ARE GORGEOUS. Jackie's grandparents were unable to attend the wedding and I am truly looking forward to showing them the pictures that Daniele took. She kept everyone comfortable and made sure that we all had a wonderful time. She even managed to get all of us to give a few "what the hell" poses, which were really fun. To Daniele THANK YOU can not truly express how you SAVED my daughter's wedding day. To anyone in Northern Michigan who needs a photographer who will make your special day, no matter what it is, PERFECT, give her a call.

ould love a reason to hire her just so we can hang out! Daniele was incredibly professional and helpful. I never felt like I couldn't ask her for anything. I came prepared with a list of shots that I wanted for the formal shots and the rest of the day was left up to her. She captured several wonderful moments that I wouldn't have witnessed without Daniele there. Hiring Daniele for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made and worth every single penny! Two years after our wedding I still love looking at photos from the big day and our house is full of prints in every room. Hire Daniele and you will not be sorry.

she helped with any and everything. After getting my pictures back I was SO happy! They were amazing. Everyone who looks at them says how great and original our photos are. We loved every single picture! I would recommend her to any and everyone who needs a photographer.

ld have happened. Luckily for us, Daniele was available for our wedding date and I could not be happier with the outcome. Daniele was able to work with us only one month before our wedding to not only discuss the wedding itself, but also to schedule an engagement photo session. She was flexible with us on a payment schedule since we contacted her on such short notice and was overall incredibly professional. And not only did she help us decide where we wanted our photos taken, she even assisted us on the day of the wedding, helping to coordinate everything with our DJ and caterer so that the evening went smoothly and without any issues. She even called our flower provider when they were over 20 minutes late in bringing us our bouquets and whatnot before the ceremony. She helped to make our wedding day as fun as possible for me my and husband. It took a few weeks to get our pictures, but they were well worth the wait. She took almost 500 photographs, all of which are available for viewing online and we just recently received a jump drive with all of our pictures on it. I already have over 100 favorites. The photographs are absolutely spectacular and I would recommend her to anyone at all, whether they are getting married, wanting to get some good family photos, or are hoping to take some beautiful pictures of their newborns. Daniele is, hands down, the best photographer in the area and I could never thank her enough for providing us with such a beautiful, lasting memory of our wedding day.

It was nice to know that our wedding pictures were the one thing we did not need to stress out about. Daniele was incredible through the entire process. She was patient, kind, and professional. Not only did she assume her role as photographer, but had recommendations for dj's and other services; she is a wealth of knowledge and so helpful. She was prompt, energetic, and most of all, FUN-and, she gave up her 4th of July (our wedding date) to take our pictures. Her ideas were beyond impressive, as is her level of creativity. She captured our special day and gave us some amazing pictures. A month ago, we hired her again to take our son's one-year pictures. Thanks for sharing your talent, Daniele!

e. Daniele was completely accomodating and professional! She helped guide us throught the day so much that I almost thought I hired an event planner on top of amazing photographer!! Daniele's photos are not only beautiful wedding photos, but they stunning pieces of art that we will cherish forever! I would highly recommend her! :)

ars NO reflection on the kind of work Daniele does and did do for this bride. Having worked with Daniele for the past four years as her assistant I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most professional photographers out there who not only has a great love for what she does, but also has a great desire to make her customers happy. I can not tell you how many times I have witnessed her tap dance and sing for grumpy ring bearers or even for Fathers-of-the-Bride's who are having difficulty finding their smile because they are sad to send their little girls off. She has an amazing knack for enhancing the happiness of an already happy day and capturing those moments. I can not see, from the photos posted , how she did not accomplish that for this bride. Having been Daniele's assistant for this wedding, I can also assure that she arrived at the pre-scheduled time, and with the poor lighting during the ceremony and the restrictions put upon her by the pastor (he did not want a lot of disruption up at the altar - and typically churches are not fond of people running all over the altar space anyway. Some denominations find it offensive.) she did a wonderful job. This can be a lesson to brides out there in more ways than just picking who you think to be your best photographer. Keep in mind your lighting, locations, etc. Those will all affect the result of your photos and not even the BEST photographer can make them look 100%. I can say without second thought, is that that I do think Daniele is the BEST photographer in this area. Not only in the quality of the images she produces for her clients, but also in the caliber of professionalism and the excellence in service she provides.

aniele was the very first vendor I booked once we set our date. I HAD to have her! =) We booked her for the ceremony, formals, and reception. She arrived a bit before the ceremony which is exactly what was planned for. She did a wonderful job of getting the grooms family shots out of the way before the wedding since my husband and I didn't see each other until walking down the aisle. She dealt with a very rowdy group of groomsmen and all of the images captured make us laugh til this day. She had so many creative ideas I was just like WOW!! She was everywhere taking so many shots and had our country chic vintage vision in mind for them all. She provided access to our pictures in the online store as promised and so many friends and family just raved about their quality. I received the zip drive and copy right release as promised. I was able to post the pictures on facebook following her copyright guideline of putting her name below each photo which was great for sharing quickly and easily with my facebook friends. The shipping of the pictures we ordered from her storefront was the fastest I've ever seen and we live in the middle of nowhere. Our ceremony was running behind and I was somewhat stressed but I honestly feel like Daniele helped me get through that and just BREATHE and ENJOY!! =) Even with the lateness factor, every image was captured that should have been. Daniele's pictures of our wedding will be cherished by us forever!! Thank you for doing such an incredible job!!!

e wasn't booked, luckily she wasn't or we would have to have chosen a different day Daniele was extremely proffesional and a complete joy to work with. Before she left at the end of the evening I asked how long I would have to wait to see my pictures She told me about 4 weeks because she took over 500 pictures that each had to be individually edited. As I waited patiently she sent me sneak peeks of some of her favorites. Once I saw all 500 of them I could not wait to show everyone i knew. she caught every moment from begining to end, which I am now able to share with those who could not attend. I highly recommend Daniele and can not wait to have babies so she can capture every milestone with her amazing, artistic talent.

to work with throughout the entire process from consultation, to engagement photos, to our actual wedding day! She was prompt, in constant communication, and took AMAZING photos of me, my groom, family, and wedding party. She even contacted me the following day to take pictures of our rings which we missed during the craziness of the wedding day. She worked so well with our dynamic group from unhappy flower girl and ring bearer....to funny groomsmen. I cannot wait to do a "trash the dress" session with Daniele. I wouldn't trust anyone else to capture my personality as well as Daniele. I only wished I lived closer so she could photograph my babies along the way. Daniele is THE BEST around. Anyone that hires her will be 100% satisfied!!!!

hers and she was one of the easiest and best to get along with. She worked my Brother's wedding and definitely went above and beyond for us. She was doing all she could to make sure the family was where they needed to be for the pictures, and if someone was being difficult, she worked with them to make sure all was happy and at ease. The children loved her and she actually turned my nephew from crying to laughing in order to get good shots of him with his father. She was so speedy with processing the film that before the reception was over, there were two GORGEOUS photos we got to admire! Her originality of where to take the pictures was great also. I have never seen a picture of a bride and groom where she took them and it was classic Marquette style!! I would suggest her to anyone, and advise anyone I know not to listen to over-exaggerated reports from others. Thank you Daniele!!! :)
