Dan is professional and was amazing to work with. He is very thorough and pays attention to details. We hired him as our wedding videographer and he thought of so many things that never even crossed our minds. I would recommend him to anyone for their big day!

This review has been a long time coming but I really have to thank Dan for the phenomenal job that he did taking professional photographs for me to use for my business. The pictures turned out great and I have used these photos many times in many different scenarios since having the photos taken in the early spring. It was a real pleasure to work with Dan and he made the process incredibly easy and comfortable. Thank you Dan!!

Daniel was very easy to talk to and took wonderful pictures for our business. We had him shoot our Bed and Breakfast and take some family photos. He also made drone photos and made a video for us. After we saw the photos, he was great about discussing future things to photograph and some fixes to a couple of photos. I added several photos for you to see for yourself how nicely the photos turned out. When I asked if he could photograph a tight area with a wide-angle lens, he was very good about doing this.
Dan has very nice and expensive equipment to meet all of a customer's needs.

As a local Realtor, having a trusted, reliable photographer is everything! Dan is my go to when it comes time to take photos of a new listing or when a client or colleague asks for a referral. Not only are his photos beautiful, but his drone shots are amazing as well. Dan is easy to get ahold of and a gives a quick turn around time.

Dan did an amazing job photographing and videoing my wedding! It was the best day of my life and to have someone capture all of those precious moments so perfectly is priceless to me. I recommend Dan to everyone who wants photography done he will capture the emotion in the event. He doesnt just take photos he knows just how to capture each moment so perfectly. Everything in my wedding was perfect I am glad I had someone like Dan to photograph it! If you are questioning using Dan and 400Ft and Below Photography do not hesitate, you will not be disappointed!
