- this Wedding party takes home the trophy for the wildest crew we've filmed in 2024, and we don't foresee anyone else taking that title, (watch the first minute of this teaser and you'll understand).

Trevor + Emma were nothing but incredible to work with from the moment we walked on site, to the moment we departed their reception. So kind, so fun + so in love! We shared such a beautifully memorable day with these two, and we're thrilled that it translated through their footage so well. Just wait, newlyweds - there is MUCH more where this came from!

- sessions with this crew will always be a favorite of ours.. 🍂🙌

Autumn colors + midwest sunsets never fail to make for beautiful portraits, however the true love of a family is what will forever bring those portraits to life. If you need an example of what that looks like, just cast your eyes below.

We love any chance we get to work with The Bronczyk's + The Haynes, and we hope that there are many more sessions with this crew in the future! If there is one thing that we always walk away with from our time together, it's timeless photographs + memories made.

- when we think about the Weddings that we filmed in 2024, with the idea of "fun" in mind, this will definitely be one that we think of!

Ty + Haley, hands down, had one of the most emotional yet entertaining days that we've filmed in a long time! These two had a Wedding party that was both rowdy and hilarious, truly putting Ty + Haley's enjoyment of the day at the forefront of everything - exactly how it should be. What we didn't expect, was the opening of the ceremony.

Haley's brother, Caden, passed away in 2020 and it was understandably a very difficult time for her. As a Wedding gift from Haley's mother, she contacted a large group of Caden's friends and asked them to walk down the isle in honor of Caden. We captured every moment of it on film and truly cannot imagine how special that is going to be for Haley, her family and her friends. This is why we love what we do!

You two have such an incredibly entertaining Wedding film coming your way, newlyweds, and we can't wait for you to see it! Congratulations!

- our fall sessions are not disappointing this year! 🍂📸

Say hello to Brian, Sahara + Henley - soon to be known as The Rodenborn's! We will be photographing their Wedding in March of 2025, and we can't wait to share such a special day with them. Brian + Sahara chose to substitute their engagement session for a family session, and after meeting Henley, we're so glad that they did -- talk about a little stud!

Hang on tight, friends! March will be here before you know it!

- it wasn't difficult to pick up on just how in love these two were as we filmed their special day in the rolling hills of Owensville, Missouri. These two were like little kids that couldn't stop giggling and playing together, and it was just an added bonus that it translated through the footage so well.

Ryan + Katie, two people that were so kind and laid back from start to finish, made "work" feel like hanging out with old friends the day we filmed their Wedding. Incredible moments were captured left and right, (including one of the funniest best man speech's we've ever heard). We can't wait for these two to see everything we have coming their way! Until then, Congratulations + enjoy your official teaser, newlyweds!

- forget the scenic views that surrounded Jeffery + Katelin's perfect day; these two and the love that they celebrated was the best focal point of them all.

Jeffery + Katelin took each others hand in marriage at arguably one of the most beautiful venues that we've ever had the pleasure of filming at - Top of The Rock at Big Cedar in Ridgedale, Missouri. While these two lovebirds aren't local to the area, they chose a destination Wedding in our neck of the woods and honestly.. who could blame them?

So many laughs, tears and impressive dance moves were captured during Jeffery + Katelin's Wedding day. Choosing the best moments to fit into a 4 minute trailer proved to be incredibly difficult, but also proves that these two are in for one hell of a Wedding film later this year! Congratulations, newlyweds!

- these three have us completely fired up for fall sessions! 🍂📸

When choosing Michael + Brooke's location during the booking process, we went back and forth between two choices. Ultimately, they decided on Historic Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri - and boy are we happy that they did!

Fall colors are juuuust starting to creep in for what makes beautiful backdrops in Missouri this time of year. When you mix in some brick architecture and line it with cobblestone streets? Well, you're left with all of the Hallmark vibes!

Fun fact: we photographed these two tie the knot (3) years ago and were elated when they reached out for some updated family portraits. If these are the images when can continue to expect when working together, we hope there are A LOT more sessions in the future.

- this mornings maternity/family creek session was truly one of our favorites this summer! Crawdads, tadpoles and baby bumps all made for photography magic that we're so happy to have captured for The Bertholomey's.

We cannot wait for Amanda + Chris's 3rd addition to arrive this December, and as if it didn't translate through their photographs, we feel it's safe to say that they feel the same. There is so much fun, love and laughter in this family and we're so thankful that they continue to choose us to capture their family milestones.

Congratulations, Y'all! Newborn session this Christmas? 😉📸

- it's giving Twilight if you ask us.. 🌲🌙

We had the distinct privilege of filming Alex + Maranda's Wedding a few years ago, and ever since, we could only hope to work with them in some capacity again. After running into Maranda this past June, (while filming another Wedding), she reached out to us shortly afterwords about family portraits and we were SO EXCITED to say, "YES".

Maranda shot us a photograph of some remodeling that her and Alex were completing in their home, and likely where these photographs would end up hanging on the wall. Once we received that, we knew we wanted to suggest a woodsy vibe for their session and boy are we glad that we did!

We also finally got to meet "Kovey", and she was such a joy to photograph. Truly so happy with how all of these turned out, and we can't wait for Maranda to shoot us a picture of her completed remodel with these photographs as the final touch. It was so great to work with the LaBriers once again! 🙏📸

• We have said it many times, but we truly do feel incredibly lucky that we get to share one of the happiest days in a couples lives with them, all while photographing moments that they would have otherwise forgotten over time. It’s a gift that we're thankful to share with clients of ours across the board, and we do mean ALL of our clients. 🌈💍

This Wedding celebration was special for a few reasons. One, we were fortunate enough to photograph this couple celebrate their union during the month of pride. Two, Chris was actually a teacher of Daniel's in high school. He witnessed firsthand Daniel's hobby unfold into a business during those years, and what an honor it is that after all of this time, Chris is still following Daniel's work.

This was such a perfectly curated evening, from the guest's attire to the timeless details. We're so thankful that we were there to document it, and we can't wait to deliver Nicolas + Chris's album to them this summer! Congratulations, Gentlemen.. 📸🥂

June is a very popular month for Weddings, and we couldn’t have asked to continue it with a better couple than Joseph + Emily. Taking place in Daniel’s hometown, with many familiar faces from his childhood, this one was extra special. 💍📸

The Ehler’s have worked with many times, including family sessions, engagement sessions and not one, but two Weddings. A family that boasts kindness, laughter and fun - The Ehler’s have always been so incredible to work with. Considering this, it really was no surprise that The Gallagher’s gave us a very similar experience.

When we ended Joseph + Emily’s engagement session last year, we knew immediately that this was going to be a couple that enjoyed their Wedding Day. You know those couples that can’t stop looking at each other? Constantly giggling, hugging and wrapped in each other’s arms? Well, throw an inappropriate joke or two into the mix, and that is exactly who Joseph + Emily are. They took in each moment of their celebration, threw their own flare on it, and made their special day their own – which is exactly what we hope to see from our couples!

We cannot wait to deliver not only their Wedding album, but their Wedding film later this summer as well. We will have that official teaser posted next week, so until then, enjoy a few snapshots from a Wedding Day we will surely be talking about for years to come. Congratulations, newlyweds! 🍾🎉

Nestled in the rolling hills of Mid-Missouri is where this love story takes place. Featured at one of our favorite venues, Seven T Farms, this Wedding Day was perfect from start to finish.

We first met Jesse + Melissa at their engagement session last summer, and it was at that time when we discovered just how in love these two were. Photographs always show a couple’s emotions, and while it sometimes requires a little more work on our end to bring those emotions to the surface, that was not the case with Jesse + Melissa. We knew at that moment that we truly had something to look forward to on their Wedding Day, and we were absolutely right.

Tears, laughs and special moments – this Wedding had it all. Between a Wedding party that kept the vibe top tier, and the vendors that assisted in this day flowing as smoothly as possible, it was inevitable that Jesse + Melissa enjoyed their celebration. Photographs often speaks for themselves, and that is undoubtedly the case here. We hope these two are as in love with these sneak peaks as they are with each other, and we cannot wait to deliver their full album to them later this Summer. Congratulations, newlyweds!

Kendall is officially a High School graduate! 🎓📸

This is now the 2nd Nix that I've had the pleasure of photographing for Senior portraits, and these young women do NOT disappoint! Kendall was so easy to pose, making it seem nearly effortless. I truly couldn't be happier with how these photographs turned out!

Congratulations & best wishes in your new adventures, Kendall!

Another perfect session in the books with The Wilkersons! ⛈📸

Despite looming thunderstorms, Kevin + Erica's family session turned out incredible. I love the tones and moody aesthetic we were able to capture, in addition to the glow this family never fails to have. From their Wedding Day to the many sessions we've shared over the years, I'm always so grateful to have this bunch as not only clients, but friends as well.

Congratulations on your beautiful and growing family, Wilkersons!

Hi there, I’m Daniel!

Thank you so much for stopping by. Let’s get to know each other!

I am a Missouri based Videographer and Photographer, with roots in weddings and families. Aside from the social aspect of this industry, I truly enjoy capturing raw and unexpected moments that would otherwise be lost forever.

DTFAP came about in 2009, following the Wedding of a close family friend. After being asked to walk around her reception with a handycam camcorder, I quickly learned that what might appear one way to a bystander, can actually appear much different through the lens of a camera. It was at that moment when I realized that many people weren’t experiencing life’s most important moments as beautifully as they could, and I wanted to change that.

My clients put their trust in me with each film and photograph I produce, to provide them with something timeless, elegant and unique. It has been the highlight of my career to accomplish this, and I consider it my top priority to walk away from each business experience having gained knowledge, art and most importantly - friendship.
