Beautiful Golden Hour Engagement Session at Deep Cut Gardens | Daniel Nydick Wedding Photographer

Beautiful Golden Hour Engagement Session at Deep Cut Gardens | Daniel Nydick Wedding Photographer

We checked out some of Daniel’s work and knew his style checked all of the boxes and then some! Is “epic” a photography style? Lol

We love the way Daniel understands light and darkness and how they compliment each other when he gets behind the camera.

“During our engagement shoot, we got to see him in action for the first time. It was so cool to watch how he observes the location and creates the images that he sees in his head. Sal and I kept whispering to each other during the shoot about how what Daniel does is truly an art! When meeting with Daniel for the first time, we said “we want to want to frame all the photos and I think he is the one to make it happen. “

Natirar Engagement Photo Session | Susan & Lou's Love Story | Daniel Nydick, New Jersey Wedding, Engagement, Couples, Love Story, Family Photography

I love telling Love Stories through my wedding & engagement photography.

I met Susan & Lou almost two years ago. Young, effervescent, and full of happiness & love for each other is the best way I can describe them.

We met over coffee and clicked right away. I got to hear their love story (and see it in their eyes), and I got to share my enthusiasm for what it is that I do.

Jump forward a few months, we got together for their engagement session at Ringwood State Botanical Gardens. Next stop was to be their November wedding.

Thanks to COVID, plans changed…and then they changed again. With their wedding day that they will inevitably share with their family & friends pushed back a little further, Susan & Lou decided that celebrating their love was still important.

The Venetian, Garfield NJ | Wedding Photography of Celina + Ralf

“I don't think it's possible to express my gratitude, love, and sheer astonishment of Daniel Nydick Photography and their absolutely amazing work.

Daniel had never been the main photographer at my venue and had never been to my church- BUT he sure fooled all of us because the photos he got from both places were BREATHTAKING!!!! He envisioned shots and would sometimes show us how it would come out- and bare on the back of his camera- with no editing- FLAWLESS.“

Photos of candid moments make the best memories.

I asked Kristen why she wanted professional photographs of this special time in their lives? Read on to see more!

NJ Micro Backyard Wedding | Katie + Matt

It was late April, and I was trying to wrap my brain around what was happening, and what the future would hold for Daniel Nydick Wedding Photography. The wedding photography gods decided to smile upon me...Katie & Matt reached out to me to photograph their intimate backyard micro wedding at their Cranford, NJ home. I felt a brief moment of relief coupled with gratitude to be able to do what I love; photographing two amazing people tying the knot and becoming husband and wife. I was given a small oasis amidst the craziness that the first months of COVID had delivered.

Jenkisnson's Boardwalk Engagement Session | Point Pleasant, NJ | Lindsay+Mike

I’ll be photographing the wedding of Lindsay & Mike at The Mill Lakeside Manor in just a few months. Thanks to Covid-19, it took a little longer than initially planned to get together for their Point Pleasant, NJ engagement session.
This past Monday, the stars aligned, and I had the pleasure of photographing Lindsay & Mike’s engagement photos at Jenkinson’s Boardwalk in Point Pleasant, NJ. Why did they choose the boardwalk for their engagement session? Lindsay says’, “It’s been one of my favorite spots to go since I was a kid! Once Mike and I met in high school, it was pretty common for our group of friends to gather there in the summers. As a couple, we have spent many a day at Jenkinson’s, getting ice cream, playing skeeball (poorly), giving away our tickets to the coolest kid we can find in the arcade (or the most tired parent!), and then just holding hands as we walk along the beach. We both find great comfort in the sound of the ocean and a beach sunset, so it’s definitely a happy place for us.

Clarks Landing Yacht Club Wedding | Elayna + AJ

I actually met Elayna & AJ years ago while I was photographing another NJ wedding. Our personalities instantly clicked (no photography pun intended), and they told me they loved my energy. They saw me get down on the ground and also standing upon a chair, doing anything to get the shot. Seeing the vitality I bring and witnessing how I photograph weddings is what led them to bookmark me in their minds. They had contacted me a couple of years later to discuss having Daniel Nydick Photography shoot their engagement session and their wedding at Clarks Landing Yacht Club, and the rest is history.

Intimate NYC Wedding at Bobo Restaurant | Michael + Afonso

I had been yearning to photograph the tenderness, love, and joy of a same-sex marriage for years, yet hadn’t had the opportunity before. Supporting the LGBTQ+ community is something that I am personally passionate about, so you’d have to know I was delighted to connect with Michael & Afonso. I invite you to enjoy the photos of their same-sex wedding’s candid moments, the laughs upon laughs (Afonso is quite the animated man, and he sure knows how to bring the best out of Michael), the charm of their venue, and the warmth of their dearest family and friends.

Amanda & Matt's Maternity Session at Jockey Hollow | Daniel Nydick - New Jersey Wedding, Couples, Portrait, Maternity Photography

👶🏼Say, “Hey!” to Baby Schey!👶🏼

I’ve known Amanda and Matt for a couple years now. We first met when they were a bridesmaid & groomsman at a wedding I was photographing. Something clicked (photography pun not intended, but there ya go😆), and they’ve been stuck with me ever since. I’m not complaining.😁


We photographed their engagement photos last year, and all systems were go for me to 📸capture their wedding this past April…and then COVID happened.

It may have taken a few extra months to get together, but I think the wait made yesterday’s maternity session that much sweeter.

Thank you Amanda & Matt for letting me document your journey, your family, and your love.
