Kathryn BudigI've known and worked with Lindsay and Daniel for over a decade, and they are two of the sharpest, funniest, most talented humans I have ever had the pleasure to shoot with. If you're looking for complete magic, book them!
Susan & TomYou two are such amazing photographers! Your journalistic style, captures the emotion and feeling in the moment and it tells the story of our special day. I can not tell you how hard it has been choosing photos! We have so many stunning shots that we can’t believe are us! We feel like rock stars! You were the best decision that we ever made, well, I guess second to deciding to marry each other!!
Meghan HarveyThere's possibly nothing more awkward than being photographed for headshots, but Daniel is the kind of photographer who makes shooting relaxing and fun. He's a fantastic director, offering micro-movements that you show up in natural and flattering ways. I'm super happy with the results and recommend him highly!
Catherine & AndyAttentive, creative and an overall blast to work with! Stark Photography blew us away with our photos at our surprise wedding. My husband and I cannot imagine our wedding day without Daniel and Lindsay by our side, capturing and enriching every single moment.
Natalie Ackerman2024-05-20I hired Daniel to get some professional headshots for remotely located staff in Bend. The final results are just what I was looking for and Daniel was able to work with our branding requirements. I got positive feedback from all the staff about the experience in the studio and look forward to working with him in the future!
Shandi Monroe-Cheung2024-03-20You will see a trend amongst the reviews that Daniel makes the process fun and easy and it's true. If you're thinking about hiring Stark Photography, I recommend you go for it.
Susan Morris2024-03-19Daniel Stark came highly recommended to me when I needed an author photo taken. I was nervous, because I have no idea what to do in front of a camera, but Daniel made me feel so comfortable, and I actually ended up having the best time! Not only that, but I ended up with a stunning author photo, that truly captures my personality and suits my book. Everyone I show it to LOVES it! I see now why Daniel Stark came so highly recommended! Seriously, he's the best.
Gloria Y. Pitkin2024-03-13We had such a great time working with Daniel. He made the dreaded experience of getting professional headshots so simple and easy. His friendly demeanor and communicative style ensured we got great shots and he was able to adapt to our tight timeline, delivering the final photos less than a week after the shoot! Highly recommend working with Stark Photography if you get the chance!

Katie Grimes2023-10-04My husband and I are so glad we chose Stark Photography to document our small courthouse wedding. We knew we made the right choice from the start -- Lindsay and Daniel were so fun to talk to, our first meeting with them really amped up the excitement factor for us. Daniel ended up shooting our wedding and he was great to be around; he helped us feel comfortable even though we were nervous that we would look awkward in all our photos because we're not used to getting our pictures taken. We just got the sneak peek and HOLY MOLY the photos are gorgeous! Better than I could have ever possibly imagined! We highly recommend booking with Stark, you won't be disappointed!

Catherine Mays2023-04-25Stark Photography went above and beyond to help keep our wedding day running smoothly and were so responsive and easy to work with throughout the whole wedding process. Lyndsay and Daniel are not only phenomenal photographers, but truly wonderful people. My husband and I are are normally camera-shy, and now we actively look for opportunities to work with the Starks again! We can't thank them enough!
Ben Edmunds2023-04-17Lindsay and Daniel were fantastic to work with. They listened carefully to get to know us as a couple and did great, very professional work capturing the spirit of our wedding day and celebration. 100% would recommend them for any milestone event.
