My name is Dan Simonds. I have been photographing weddings and people for nearly a decade. Over the years, my work and travels have taken me to more than 35 countries on 5 continents. Experience with fine art and landscape photography has informed the way I see and capture light, color, and composition, helping me create images with a considered, elegant aesthetic.
On a wedding day, my approach is calm, organized, and attentive. I document moments as they unfold while providing guidance when structure is needed, allowing couples to feel relaxed and present. Working alongside my wife Tara as a two-photographer team adds another layer of support and ensures thoughtful coverage and smooth coordination throughout the day.
Visually, I favor natural light, honest color, and timeless editing designed to create photographs that feel enduring and carefully composed. Each image is selected and crafted to reflect the quiet elegance and emotion of the day.
I serve the Greater Binghamton area and take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure focused attention for every couple. If the work shown here resonates with you, I would be happy to discuss your plans.
