Wedding Photographers At A Beautiful Day Photography

Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Daniel Sheehan of A Beautiful Day Photography invites you to explore his album of candid wedding photography and artistic black and white photographs on the website and photography blog of A Beautiful Day Photography. He was named the best photographer and portrait photographer in Seattle by the Wedding Photojournalists Association (WPJA).
With skill and experience as a photojournalist, he creates candid pictures in a style that is real, straightforward, subtle and unobtrusive. We have a few associate photographers who assistant Daniel on larger weddings or will undertake to photograph them when Daniel is unavailable. His associate photographers are held to the highest standards of photographic excellence.

 

Candid Photography, The Photojournalist's Approach

Candid photography is one of the most difficult and demanding photographer specialties. It should only be entrusted to someone with real photojournalism experience, a creative eye and an artistic touch. With more than 10 years of being a staff photojournalist at a daily newspaper, New York Newsday, he has that real photojournalist experience to bring to his candid wedding photographs which preserve every significant emotion filled moment of the day. He produces artistic documentary photographs with a distinctive style that truly "capture the moment".

Among Seattle photographers Daniel Sheehan best captures candid emotion and real beauty in a way that only true photojournalism from a highly experienced photographer can. He has been specializing in wedding photography since 1997 and has built an enviable reputation by providing clients with compelling photography including large format panoramic group portraits of everyone at the celebration. His superior level of craftsmanship, client service, professionalism and stunning photography has earned him the privilege of receiving commissions from couples on three continents. His reputation places him among the ranks of the best wedding photographers in the nation. To see photos from his most recent nuptials, check out our blog "Capturing The Moment" . There you will find photos from DeLille Cellars weddings, Tyee Yacht Club weddings, Skansonia weddings, Georgetown Studios weddings, Olympic Sculpture Park weddings, Seattle Tennis Club weddings, Asian Art Museum weddings, Lake Union Crew Boathouse, Seattle Golf Club weddings, The Willows Lodge , Edgewater Hotel , Crystal Mountain and wedding photography from The Rainier Club, Lake Union Cafe, the Harbor Club, the Woodmark Hotel, Newcastle Golf Club, Kiana Lodge, The Artic Club Hotel, the Hall at Fauntleroy, The Hollywood Schoolhouse, The Ruins, Snooqualimie Ridge Golf Club, The Columbia Tower Club among other venues.

Destination Wedding Photographers Travel Packages

Every year I travel from Seattle to photograph destination weddings across the United States and around the world. I welcome the opportunity to be your first choice of destination wedding photographers wherever it may be. For destination weddings only minimum travel expenses, detailed in the contract are charged. These typically include airfare, hotel, meals and car rental if needed. There are no hidden charges or surprises in the bill. Usually these costs are greatly offset by not having to pay local sales tax on photography on out of state weddings.
In just the past few years I have travelled to photograph at resorts in Italy, Bangalor, India, Mexico, Czech Republic, and Dublin, Ireland. Destination wedding photographers has taken me to photograph weddings in New York City, NY, New Jersey, Sante Fe, New Mexico, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Orange County, CA, Mendacino and Napa, CA, San Antonio, TX, Sun Valley, ID, Portland, OR, and Washington DC.

Client Raves

Where do we begin? How can we even thank you for everything that you have done for our wedding? From the moment that we met you we knew we would be in good hands, but we had no idea how hard you would work to make our wedding look and feel perfect.
Judah and Sarah

 

"WOW! I knew I was going to love our pictures, but I am blown away; they are amazing!!! I am so glad that we had the opportunity to work with you! I really appreciate you getting some of those 4x6's out in time for our trip!! ...Thanks again, you are fabulous and so are the photos!!!"
Ali and Nick

 

"“The pictures are amazing! There are moments captured that will be treasured for our lifetime. And … I LOVE the music you picked for the website … I couldn’t have picked it better myself. Thank you."
Kelly and Shaun

 

 

"Thank you so so much for your wonderful work before and during the wedding. We have no doubt that our photos will be amazing! I received many compliments from guests saying that you were all over the place, getting all kinds of different shots. In addition, I think the greatest fact is that for the most part, I actually didn't know you were there! I mean that in the best way because I have the tendency to 'pose' and you may be the first person to actually get some candid shots of me! :-)"
Mollie

 

"In planning our wedding, one of our top priorities was to have an amazing photographer. We knew the day would come and go at lightning speed, and we wanted to be sure our photographs would capture its essence. Our hope was that when we looked at the photos in years to come, we would be able to experience the day all over again. Daniel Sheehan was exactly what we were looking for. He was with us all day, and was gracious, patient, attentive, diligent and never obtrusive. He was a pleasure to have as a part of our wedding experience. Daniel took all the photos we asked him to take and hundreds we never would have thought of. He captured the spirit and beauty of the day and its timeline from start to finish. His creativity and skill are unmatched – each photo is remarkable. When we look back at our wedding photographs, our wedding day truly comes to life– we were simply delighted with his work, and treasure the gift of photographs he provided for us."
Lisa Chick

 

"Yes indeed, we looked at all the wedding pictures through my computer and Mr.Daniel we couldn't ask for a better photographer. You captured everything, literally. Oh my god, it was such a blessing finding your website. Not only you are a great photographer, you're a wonderful and kind person as well. Mr Daniel, we can't thank you enough. We truly hope in working with you again perhaps, with our first child or something, LOL... Keep in touch. We love your work, you're gifted with such an incredible talent. I (Sugar) can't stop looking at those pictures, it brings back such good memories, you made it such a memorable one."
Much love and Aloha,
Chris and Sugar

 

"Daniel Sheehan's photography isn't just journalistic, it's novelistic. He seems uniquely gifted with the ability to capture character, personality, and relationship in one telling shot. So, while my memory of our wedding day is of a beautiful blur, when I look at our photographs-- from the reunion of old friends at the reception to the ringbearer sprinting down the aisle-- it's like reliving it. We have photographs that don't simply record who was there and what we all wore, but that tell the entire story of the evening from beginning to end. And the panoramic shot is both gorgeous and entertaining-- like a Where's Waldo of your entire community. Soon enough, all of our friends will have one; everyone who sees our photographs wants to hire Daniel for their own wedding!"
Suzanne Morrison
