Danny Captures Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Hartford, CT

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Danny is an amazing photographer all around. He was a pleasure to work with. Right from the start he was responsive and answered all our questions. My husband and I aren’t photogenic and get shy showing affection in front of people but he made it feel comfortable and the photos look natural. He is easy to talk to but still very professional. The delivery time of the photos was only a couple weeks! They were exactly what we were looking for. Danny also had the lowest price in our area. Overall, we are extremely happy Danny got to capture our big day and highly recommend him!

Your wedding day is a story of connection, from the quiet moments you share before the ceremony to the wild celebration on the dance floor. Our purpose is to capture all of it, the big emotions, the small details, and everything in between with a genuine and artistic eye. We don't just take pictures; we create a timeless narrative of your love story that you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started taking photos, Rayleen from Meraki Photo, Inc. made us feel so comfortable and confident. She had us laughing, loving on each other, and genuinely enjoying every moment, which made such a difference. She knew exactly where to take us and how to pose us in ways that felt natural, not forced. Her creative eye and thoughtful ideas resulted in unique, stunning photos that captured the magic of the day while still feeling authentically us. Rayleen's work is absolutely top-notch — the photos are high quality, beautifully edited, and full of life. She balanced professionalism with so much fun, easily connecting with our wedding group and blending seamlessly into the flow of the day while capturing the most meaningful moments. She went above and beyond to contribute to our day in meaningful ways. One of her most brilliant ideas was suggesting we end the day by crushing grapes at the winery's grape festival. My husband and I climbed into a bucket of grapes in my wedding gown and his suit, and the resulting photos are truly incredible — unique, joyful, and unforgettable. Without her creative vision, we would have missed out on such a special moment and the amazing photos that captured it. Rayleen captured every laugh, happy tear and in-between moment. Every time we look at her photos, it feels like we're reliving our wedding day exactly as it felt. Rayleen is not only an exceptionally talented photographer, but also a genuinely wonderful person. She felt like a friend by the end of the day, and we hope our paths cross again. We would 10/10 recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!

We seriously can’t say enough good things about Shukhrat and Rachel. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in the best hands. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they’re also just genuinely kind, calming, and lovely people to be around — exactly the kind of energy you want on your wedding day. They made us feel so comfortable, like we were just hanging out with friends — and somehow, in the middle of all that, they captured the most beautiful, emotional, and real moments of our day. When we got the photos back, we were completely blown away. They didn’t just take pictures — they told the story of our day in a way that felt true to us. Looking through our gallery brings back all the joy, love, and magic we felt, and we’ll honestly treasure these photos forever. We feel so lucky to have had Shukhrat and Rachel as our photographers — they’re the best decision we made (besides marrying each other!).

Love Knot Photography

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

She was so fun to work with and truly made this experience so wonderful. My fiancé hates getting pictures done and he even said he had such a great time. I am getting married back home in Iowa and was originally only going to use CityLux for engagement photos, however, it was such an incredible experience we are going to use them for our wedding next year.

Nebu took headshots for my first NYC job back in 2018. Usually, companies provide headshots like school pictures and they’re always awful. So Nebu offered his services. Seven years later, I’m still using the photo Nebu took of me. It’s the best headshot I’ve ever had, even though I’ve paid other photographers since and haven’t loved any of them the same way. I would recommend Nebu 10,000% and he’s such a genuinely good person, which makes the whole experience comfortable and easy.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I started looking for a photographer for our wedding, we determined early on that we wanted someone who was professional, down-to-earth, easy to work with, and great at what they do. We also specifically wanted timeless, effortless, and natural photos. After speaking to about 5 photographers and not feeling like we found our match, we came across Rich’s work. We immediately fell in love with his photojournalistic approach, his timeless work, and the way in which he captured the raw, authentic, and genuine parts of a wedding day. After our first conversation with Rich, it was clear that we found the photographer we were hoping to find! Rich is not only incredible at what he does behind the camera, but he is also a wonderful person to the core. It was clear that Rich genuinely cares about his couples and wants to do everything he can to make them feel beautiful, comfortable, and happy. Communicating with Rich was easy and stress free. He responded to each email with enthusiasm and professionalism. He never made me feel like I was a bother or that I was asking too many questions, which meant so much to me as a bride. He helped us plan everything from our wedding day to our engagement shoot, offered his opinions on locations, and followed up with us the week leading up to our engagement shoot it as the weather was not looking great! Rich greeted us with a big smile, and made us feel comfortable immediately. It was as if we were catching up with a lifelong friend even though we had just met. I’ll never forget driving away from our engagement shoot and saying to my husband, “I am so grateful that we have Rich as our photographer!”. He made the experience fun and effortless, which only made us more confident in our decision to have him as our wedding photographer. About a month leading up to our wedding, Rich communicated with us often and scheduled phone calls with us so that we could go over the flow of the day. This saved us a great deal of time and stress the day of the wedding, and allowed him to do what he does, which is capture the organic, raw, beautiful moments. Rich took the time to ask us which shots we wanted specifically, and he was sure to capture them. He and Greg both brought such a sense of calm the day of our wedding which was so appreciated. They reassured us that everything was going well, and directed us in a way that made it feel natural. They captured all of the moments we wanted, but never made us feel like we were following a script or “plan”. My husband and I could not believe how beautifully they captured our wedding day! If you are looking for a photographer that is talented, kind, supportive, and professional, you need to schedule a call with Rich. I will cherish the photos he and Greg captured on our wedding day for the rest of my life. My husband and I knew we wanted photos that were raw and authentic, and that is exactly what we got. To say we are thrilled with Ciro Photography would be an understatement! We wish we could do it all again, and find ourselves reliving the day through the photos Rich captured at least once a week! Rich, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your beautiful work. We are so grateful for you and Greg, and will cherish our photos forever. We HIGHLY recommend them to any newly engaged couple!
