Darren did a phenomenal job. I needed his discretion for a proposal shoot and he came through with multiple pieces of equipment without her noticing, he was great! The photos look amazing we certainly will get some printed.. 10/10 couldn't recommend him enough.

It was a joy to get to work with Darren! He is so knowledgable about photography! He made excellent recommendations regarding locations, poses, lighting and used top-notch equipment for the shoot! Also, Darren was such a gem with the way that he handled my little dog, Riley! It was greatly appreciated. A very fun experience! Thanks, Darren!! I highly recommend Darren for your photo shoot!

Darren was absolutely fantastic! We contacted him two weeks before our wedding. He was fun, professional, and easy to contact and talk to. He gave us suggestions for times and locations for pictures to better capture the lighting and atmosphere. He was even flexible and generous enough to snap headshots of my sister-in-law after her unexpected request at our wedding. He gave us a timeframe for when the pictures would be completed, kept us informed, and asked us our opinion before touching up photos. The pictures were completed in less than two weeks and were easy to access. They are beautiful and we are very happy we chose him!

Darren was so great! I contacted him about headshots for my work team, as we were having our annual offsite in New Orleans. He was very communicative, helpful, and overall an extremely nice person. He showed up early, made sure I knew how the day was going to go, and made sure the team was comfortable. He was super patient and understanding of our needs. Really excited to use him in the future for my personal photo needs.

Details: Professional / business • Office • 21 - 50 people • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Thanks so much Aeryn!...you and your crew were great to work with, see you back in Nola!
