Dan Vonhoff Photography

My style of wedding photography can be described as “documentary” or “photo-journalistic”.  For most of the day I’ll be a fly on the wall, observing what’s happening.  I don’t really like to setup or construct any moments.  I’m always looking for that special “moment between moments”.  It’s the little things others might not notice that I love to look for.  I really enjoy the challenge at every wedding.  Using my camera to help tell stories is the main reason I got hooked on photographing weddings in the beginning.  While the whole wedding day itself is a story, there are so many little ones that that I’m always looking and listening for. Every photographer works differently so it’s important to find the right match for you.  If you’re attracted to candid, natural looking images or you cringe at the idea of doing a “mock cake cut”, then you’re probably on the right path here.

I may sound a little biased, but I believe investing in wedding photography is a very worthwhile investment. After the day is over, you’ll have memories captured to look back on.

I’m not a fan of “posed” photos either. Most of the day will be pure documentary, where I just let you do your thing. The portrait part of the day (between the ceremony and reception) will be the most “posed” part of the day, but I know lots of ways to make you feel relaxed in front of the camera. Plus I promise we’ll have some fun too.

“Full-Day” coverage means I’ll be there for ALL of the good stuff.  I’ll start a few hours before the ceremony and finish well after your first dance.  You can count on me to be there for the dancefloor and sparkler exits.

I aim to have your wedding slideshow ready about one month after your wedding. The rest of the photos will be ready shortly after this.

On average couples tend to book with me around 12 months before their wedding date. Although, if you’re wedding date is less than 12 months away don’t hesitate to send me an email. I still have some dates available in 2021 and early 2022.

I’ve found I can comfortably cover a wedding on my own. Having a second photographer is only necessary sometimes if the wedding is particularly large or the logistics might be difficult. If that is the case, I can organise a second photographer.  I also find the less “camera crew” at the wedding, the more relaxed and candid everyone feels.

I edit all of my photos, but only to enhance what has already been captured. I want my work to stand the test of time and not look “dated” after a certain editing style becomes old. For example, remember when people first got Instagram and went really heavy on the filters? Yeah, nah thanks.

Once we’ve had a chat about what you’ve got planned, I’ll send out an online booking form and contract.  There’s a deposit of one third of the total amount to secure the date.
