We’ve been witness to some pretty amazing moments. We get to be in places that are reserved only for the closest family and friends. But that’s why it makes it so special. These are the moments that not even guests get to see, but its sacred because it is only experienced with the small number of people who are players in the scene. There is no audience. There is no performing for a group. There is no acting for other people. It’s just pure.
the camera is our key

I’m Daniel Kim. I’ve always been inspired by the unconventional European style; a relaxed and emotive way of living. My style is fluid and very much follows the energy of my clients; naturally evolving from photojournalism to fine art and then again to raw and unfiltered. I’ve spent over 15 years nurturing this unorthodox, organic way of shooting.
I’m a husband and father, and I enjoy shooting couples who are very much in love with one another, and with the life they’ve created. During a celebration, my eye follows those interpersonal connections between parents and friends, and my hope is that I’ll get a few shots of them that they’ll cherish alongside you, too. My ultimate goals are to create great relationships, make great art and to eventually create a photography school for underprivileged youth in Arizona. I believe our greatest purpose goes beyond ourselves, and my journey starts here.

"Daniel Kim and his wife, Ashley, are truly talented photographers & amazing humans! They went above and beyond to make our big day so special. We felt so cared for and valued throughout the whole process. Daniel Kim has an eye for capturing natural light, makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and captures each moment of your wedding day so beautifully. We are so excited to share our photos with our loved ones and will cherish each piece of art for a lifetime."

"Daniel is not a remarkable photographer because he is an absolute master of light or because he has been trained to understand the nuances that comprise a truly good formal photograph (though he is and he has) - he is a remarkable photographer because he SEES and then captures that feeling into an image. Every image he captured from our day, had heart and feeling in it and that's because he literally did not stop looking and shooting the entire time he was with us. He knows how to run a tight timeline, came with so many creative ideas, scouted locations for our images, and was just all around the best to work with. Daniel goes above and beyond, it's his only setting when holding a camera and the images he captures will not disappoint."

"You went above and beyond the day of with any of our requests we had for photos. We never saw any hesitation or frustration. You were fun and laughed the whole time. And your dancing made our night! We never had any doubts you could take our vision and capture it through your eyes and creative lens. You took charge when needed, always came to us with questions and suggestions rather then jumping in and making it be your choice over ours, and had our backs when things went terribly awry. You are a delight to work with, are thorough, quick, polite, kind and any bride should consider themselves extremely lucky to have you and your company."
