Talented, professional, personable photographer!

I cannot say enough good things about working with Dario!

First, I had a photographer lined up to take photos of me at a New Year’s Day black tie event. The person canceled on me at the last moment, so when I put in a request for a last minute person, especially on a holiday, I wasn’t hopeful.

Dario came to my request by responding to my request immediately! He showed up early, was professionally dressed, and was so personable and enthusiastic throughout. Because he was early, he had scouted a few key spots to take photos, and did a great job of directing me where to stand or sit and how to pose.

He was even so kind as to send me a sneak peek photos later that afternoon! I was wowed by what he shared and cannot wait to see all the pictures he captured. I will absolutely work with Dario again. He is a gem!
