Testimonials
One of my favorite parts of this job is the connections I get to make with couples and the stories I’m invited to capture. Every wedding is unique, and it means the world to me when couples share how the photos make them feel—whether it’s reliving the laughter, the tears, or the little in-between moments.
Here are a few kind words from couples I’ve had the honor of photographing.
"Darien is one of the best photographers we know! Not just in Dallas, but in the country! My husband and I are also wedding photographers and we had the opportunity to shoot with Darien this past summer. Darien is fun, creative, and easy to work with. He makes the whole photography experience feel relaxed and playful while still being professional and productive. Darien really gives his all to his couples throughout the entire experience and it really shows during his interactions on the day of the wedding and through the photos he captures. His work is absolutely stunning and I admire his unique images and style. If you're looking for a fun and energetic photographer who takes killer photos, look no further! Darien is your guy!"

"Darien was a great Portland area photographer, but now he is a great DALLAS photographer! He photographed our wedding about 2 years ago and made the process so seamless. Darien was great with scheduling out the entire day, and took a lot of the stress off of myself. Darien captured some amazing moments between my husband and I, in addition to priceless moments with my dad. I would 100% recommend Darien to anyone in the Dallas area looking for a couples/wedding photographer."
"There are not enough words to express how amazing Darien is. Throughout the whole process, he has been communicative, creative and understanding. Our wedding went from a big wedding at a venue to a small backyard wedding due to Covid-19. Darien was able to get amazing shots of both my husband and I, as well as, photos of our friends and family.
Darien's photos are not like anything I have seen before. He was creative and really captured who Ryan and I are as a couple. We first shot with him for our engagement shoot, and once we got our sneak peak we were beyond grateful and excited to see what he will do for our wedding. He has been easy to work with and really listens to what vision you have for your photos.
Darien makes you feel beautiful and confident. Darien is FUN and gives you prompts and posing tips. I am super awkward in photos and before the wedding he gave our bridal party a reminder to have good posture and how to pose. He will capture amazing things if you allow him to use his artistic eye. Trust the process.
Thank you so much for capturing the most amazing photos and for being flexible throughout the whole process."

"When my husband and I were ready for some engagement photos, we wanted to go all out and look at some of the top photographers in Dallas. We stumbled across Darien Chui Photography, and honestly, his elegant work hooked me differently than the rest.
Me being a rather shy individual, I was surprised how easy it was to socialize and interact with Darien regarding his business and scheduling. We ultimately decided that he was our guy, and the final results were nothing short of perfect! Darien knew how to interact with us to bring out the most natural moments, and snapped away! He had a variety of tactics to get some unique poses, both still and mid-action. He was also pretty conscious about the weather and our surroundings, and utilized everything for some absolute gorgeous one-of-a-kind photos. I'm extremely happy with our engagement photos and will definitely reach out to him for future needs!"

"Darien absolutely blew me away as our wedding photographer. For him, being detail-oriented, responsive, and attentive is only the beginning. From the start, he truly understood our personalities, what we wanted from our wedding photos, and how he could use his incredible talent to really make our voices and character shine through his photos.
Our wedding photos, of course, turned out phenomenal. They truly captured all the love and fun throughout the day in a truly unique manner. Without a doubt, I can say no one else has wedding photos quite like ours, thanks to Darien! I highly recommend Darien to anyone still on the hunt for absolutely magical wedding photos that will continue to amaze even 50 years from now."

"From day one Darien was professional and very sincere! He made my wife and I feel important and understood the image we were wanting for the wedding. Our photos were AMAZING!! Just the touch of artistic and so fun! Would highly highly recommend him for not just photo quality but overall experience!! Thank you Darien!!"
- Molly Turner
"Darien does the most amazing work! He has such an eye for capturing candid emotion, and his photos are soooooo vivid and colorful! He is very quick to respond (which is very hard to come by!), and he'll make sure that you get exactly what you want. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who delivers exceptional emotional photos, then go to Darien! :)"
"We met Darien in 2019 and he was so patient with us throughout the pandemic as we had to postpone twice. It was definitely worth the wait! He had a thorough process to get to know us as a couple and understand what we wanted him to photograph. We really couldn't have chosen a more talented and dedicated photographer to capture beautiful and candid pictures of our wedding day. He isn't afraid to be creative to get the best shot! The photos we have now take us back to our special day and we're really grateful."

"Darien Chui provided not only THE BEST WEDDING PHOTOS, but he also coordinated the ONLY way anyone should receive their wedding photos- with an unveiling, complete with champagne and lunch. Darien is an awesome photographer and an even better person. He is great to work with- from the initial conversation to the unveiling; we couldn’t have asked for anything more. He stuck by us, supported us, through THREE wedding dates (covid 19 forced two dates to be rescheduled and we were finally able to get married 09/19/2020). He is detail oriented, he is an awesome communicator and is sure to do anything to make ANY BRIDE feel confident about how her wedding / engagement photos. This IS YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, look no further. He captured BEYOND BEAUTIFUL, PHENOMENAL, photos, he captured our most precious moments and turned them into memories for us!!! We love Darien!"
