Congratulations on your engagement!
This time in your life is one you'll want to remember for years to come, and Philadelphia engagement photos are the perfect way to get comfortable with your photographer, capture the joy, love and anticipation you feel as you prepare for your wedding day.
Darryl is amazing. Great guy, he wants to get to know the couple to give them what they want for their day. He's reasonably priced for the high high quality of his work. He's worth it! Highly recommended. - Brittany
NJ Engagement Photographer
I'm Darryl Barnett, a New Jersey based wedding and portrait photographer who loves my job and all that goes with it. The primary areas I serve are New Jersey, Philadelphia and Delaware, but I've also worked in New York and Maryland.
My portfolio includes Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, family portraits, headshots and commercial shoots, but my specialty is wedding photography. Over the past eight years, I've had the privilege of being a photographer on over 500 weddings, helping brides and grooms document their special day in a photojournalistic fashion. Nothing makes me happier than to see the look of joy in a couple's face as they look through their completed wedding album for the first time, reliving their special day.
I'd be honored to be considered as your engagement and wedding photographer to help document your story. Feel free to contact me so we can discuss your goals for your photography!

Photo Session

Time to have fun and capture all the love and smiles between the two of you!
Ordering

Darryl is very passionate and great at what he does. It was our first time getting pictures done by a professional photographer. The whole process was enjoyable and fun! Not once did he look at the time. We did not feel rushed to get the pictures over and done with. He took his time and captured MANY beautiful shots! He also takes the time out to get to know you. Great person and great photographer. - Dee
