ABOUT DAN
I will challenge your guests to a dance off (and probably win) and I'll STILL get the best damn party photos you've ever seen.
I'll make your wedding look SO GOOD and SO FUN you will need to order a big ass wedding album to contain all the amazing photos.
I will defeat any obstacle you throw my way: rain or shine, perfect sunset or complete darkness, poppin' dance party or intimate celebration.
Moral of the story: Pray for rain on your wedding day.
I'm an international, award-winning photojournalist and no matter what, the photos I make for you will capture the insanely fun (emphasis on the insane), die-hard love you have for each other and your friends and family. In Iowa, El Paso, or around the world.

What past clients have to say
What can I say about Dan that I haven't said a million times?! That he's the most amazing photographer ever! I know that one of the best decisions for my wedding was picking him as my photographer. He not only captured the best moments, he captured them beautifully. We're keeping Dan around for the rest of our special moments, not only for his photography, but because he's an amazing person to hang around with. Thank you for all of the lovely moments Dan!

One of our groomsmen just said, "Dan Dalstra is the most perfect human being ever." Your photos are universally loved and everyone thought you were "nuts amazing". Nathan and I both agreed that you were probably the best/easiest/most worry free decision we made about the wedding!

What past clients have to say
Dan is the MAN! In fact, all of the wedding guests, my wife and I affectionately nicknamed him Dan "THE MAN" Dalstra! Dan traveled to Cancun with us for our wedding. He has a way of capturing the most intense love and laughter shots between not only the couple but the wedding group as a whole. Dan used many of his awesome talents and jumped right in to help take all the worries and stress away from our big day.

WOW! There are not enough words I can express for how amazing and grateful I am to have had him photograph our engagement & wedding. He truly went above and beyond for both myself and my husband. He is so outgoing and can make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. He really has an eye for detail and captured our love in such a unique and memorable way. He is willing to work with you and also gives a great deal on destination weddings. He is a MUST have photographer who he really puts the bride first!

With over 10 years of photography experience as El Paso and Iowa photographer, I am considered an expert as an El Paso and Iowa portrait photographer, El Paso and Iowa Commercial photographer, El Paso high school senior portrait photographer, and El Paso and Iowa headshot photographer. I also have an extensive portfolio as an El Paso and Iowa wedding photographer, Las Cruces wedding photographer, Cancun wedding photographer, Mexico Wedding Photographer, Houston wedding photographer, Hawaii wedding photographer, Huatulco wedding photographer and a destination wedding photographer. While I am physically located in Texas and do 50% of my wedding and portrait photography in El Paso and Las Cruces, I also travel out of state and out of the country for the other 50% of our clients. Since the invention of these things called cars and airplanes, I have found that my physical address hardly matters when it comes to taking amazing photos of awesome people. I also am delighted to be a same sex wedding photographer and have photographed my same sex couples in the US and would love be honored to photograph more of these amazing unions.
