Dan was a great communicator through the ups and downs of 2020 and we're so glad we finally got to meet him on a perfect day for our engagement photos! He immediately made us feel comfortable did a great job guiding us through the photo shoot. Neither of us are used to being in front of a camera and we were a little apprehensive before the shoot, but ended up relaxed and having a great time. We love the photos Dan took and were shocked by how quickly he had our photos edited and ready for downloading. Thank you, Dan!

It was such a pleasure to work with Dan! He was great at making us feel comfortable, and making every moment very enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable on location, and how to make every picture look so natural. I really did appreciate the his kind demeanor, and how well the whole experience went!

We highly recommend Dan and Sound Originals! From the very beginning, Dan was extremely professional. He had great communication and responded in a prompt manner. Despite a pandemic and thunderstorm, Dan came out and captured our small, intimate wedding ceremony in such a beautiful manner! He put us first even if it meant getting drenched in the rain! Our wedding was special because of him! We can’t wait to work with him more in the future!

Sound Originals and Dan did an amazing job at my wedding. Our photos were beautiful and captured our most important moments perfectly. We especially loved the skyline and distance shots. The highlight video was incredible - it captured the best moments and condensed them into a 7 min video that was engaging throughout. I especially appreciated that Dan made changes to the final product based on our feedback. Glad we went with Dan & sound originals for our wedding!

We are so glad we found Sound Originals and Dan to capture our big day. He captured all moments so perfectly, I am in love with all the pictures and highlight film we received. He also shot these amazing pictures of me and my husband on top of a hill capturing sunset and Seattle skyline in the background. The content he delivered is so dreamy and I just love his vision and creativity

Dan far exceeded our expectations as the photographer at our daughter’s wedding. We felt like we were looking at magazine prints when we saw the photos, they were so perfect. Dan knew exactly where to be to get the best picture. On our fifth viewing of the ceremony recording, we actually watched just him in the background. He was a master at work, stopping occasionally to survey the scene in order to maximize the shot, taking so many photos in such rapid succession. At one point, he turned his camera to our special needs daughter, about 10 feet away, who was watching in her chair under a shade tree, too anxious to be closer to the ceremony taking place. When the photos came in, there was a wonderful picture of her relaxing and seeing her older sister get married, plus pictures of her responding to a fist bump from the groom and an intimate moment with her sister. We will forever be grateful for these precious photos. We look at the pictures and think, “How in the world did he get... Read more that shot?? “ Due to covid-19, the venue had been changed from Lairmont Manor in Bellingham to a small backyard next to a lake. It was a non-traditional, thinking-totally-outside-of-the-box kind of a wedding. When the bride and groom changed into bathing suits and planned to jump into the lake to celebrate and cool off, he got into a neighbor’s boat (with mask and sunhat) and took INCREDIBLE photos of them mid air, faces ecstatic, jumping off the dock, and then landing in the water, every frame captured. Thank you Dan, for capturing our daughter’s wedding day so beautifully and with such artistry. Parents of the Bride

My fiance hired Dan to take photos of our proposal, and then our engagement pictures followed. I was blown away by how beautiful the pictures turned out. Dan was incredibly professional, and spent a lot of time with us to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted and had a lot to choose from. I can't express how happy I was with the final product, and our friends and family loved them, too! Plus, we've had to reschedule our wedding for next year, and Dan was so flexible in working with us to make our new date work. Dan is a great talent, and we highly recommend him for your engagement and wedding pictures.

After scouring the Internet looking for the “right” photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding photos. We found Dan at Sound Originals, and we couldn’t be happier! From the very start he made us feel comfortable and relaxed. He had awesome ideas for the engagement photo locations. On the wedding day, he brought an excellent team, that was polite, professional, yet still fun. We were extremely pleased and would hire him again!

We really appreciate and enjoy their fabulous work. Really can't ask for a better place to get our wedding pictures done so excellently. Dan is the photographer who did our engagement photos. He is really good at creating an atmosphere so that we don't feel nervous in front of the camera and that he can capture our natural selves. Dan is also very proactive in working with us for wedding timeline and did a great job coordinating between us and the photographer, Cheryl, and videographer, Mike, who did our wedding day pictures and videos. Dan always answered our questions in a timely fashion and catered to our customized needs. We also loved working with Cheryl a lot. She is so detail oriented and has such a good eye to capture all the wonderful moments of our big day. She is also very patient and friendly. We don't feel nervous at all but only peace and joy. I'd also like to mention how cautious the whole crew - Dan, Cheryl, and Mike - are during the covid-19 pandemic. This really makes... Read more us worry-free. Lastly, I would like to call out how fast they got our wedding photos and videos done. We got them in just a few days - much shorter than we expected!

Dan, Tanner and team provided high quality live streaming services for our wedding on the 21st of November, 2020 at Hotel Interurban. We got great testimonies about the flawless quality of the livestream from our virtual guests. We would recommend Sound Originals for all your streaming services. Clement & Moe Sofela

Dan is very professional and we love his work! With all the changes due to the COVID-19, Dan was there to help us to catch the best moment in our big day. We really appreciate his flexibilities and commitment especially in the midst of uncertainties and all the risks he had to face. He is very considerate with rescheduling dates and accommodate us with free unedited videos so that we can share with our families and friends who can do come in person. He surprised us when we got all our edited photos and videos back the next day! Thank you Dan for all your hard works. We are looking forward to working with you soon again.

As a long time event and wedding professional (coordinating, officiating, DJ/emceeing) I have a wellspring of experience collaborating with partners from the widest range of products and services including, naturally, videographers & photographers. To be as simple and clear as possible, Dan & his teammate were not only consummate professionals on a recent job in Tacoma, but agreeable, easy, go with the flow partners who were a pleasure at every step. Dan captures whatever is happening as it happens; acquiring all of the perfect content and more he then uses to work his editing magic on. While styles range, I’ve noticed two fundamental camps; those who capture the reality of organic moments in an unassuming, non directive manner and those who love to stage. Often there may be requests or directives to delay or tighten the execution of events; to shift in other ways such as asking guests to do things multiple times and more. This isn’t Dan. He floats like a butterfly in the backgroun... Read mored and knows how to capture all that he needs to create your most wonderful creation. And after all, aren’t gorgeously captured authentic moments what you’re after? If so, Sound Originals is for you.

We were thrilled to have Sound Originals and Dan film and live stream our wedding. Thanks to his team's effort our family and friends from around the world were able to join us as we said "I do". It wasn't quite the same as having them there with us, but the pandemic has made us all adapt. The highlight film and ceremony footage is lovely and will be a delight for a long time.

We are so pleased we went with Dan and Sound Originals for our wedding photo and video!! He was super easy to work with throughout the planning process (2020 made it hard enough on its own so that was so welcome with vendors!) and was always super prompt and responsive in correspondence re: questions and changes. He arrived early for our engagement shoot and wedding and the pictures are BEAUTIFUL. He made us so comfortable and at ease during the picture taking process (I can feel so awkward in front of a camera so I was nervous) and they all came out incredibly. They were super professional at the wedding and when we were looking at pictures there was so many times where I said “woah I didn’t even realize he was standing there for that!”. Just seamlessly captured all the special moments while also not interrupting them. I also couldn’t believe how he worked with some tight and odd spaces that we were getting ready in to somehow still get awesome shots. Overall we couldn’t be ... Read morehappier with the pictures and video he captured for our big day. He knows his stuff, he’s amazing at what he does and you can tell he truly cares about making sure his couples are thrilled with their experience. Random bonus - both my husband and I have big families and the extended fam portraits could have been a HOT MESS (and left to our own devices they for sure would have been) but he funneled everyone in and out for different groupings so seamlessly and quickly, it was awesome. 5 stars for Dan and his team. :)
