About
I'm Daniel. I shoot the moments people are afraid to forget.
I shoot weddings because there's something tangibly special about being trusted with the most memorable moments of couples' lives. The deep breaths before the aisle. The vows that are hard to say through tears.
After more than fifty weddings, I'm a calm presence on the day. Before Selah Cinema, I worked on documentaries executive produced by Steven Spielberg and made content for brands like Warner Bros., DC Comics, and Truly. This year I left that world to build Selah Cinema full time. When I'm not behind a camera, I'm home in LA with my wife and our dog, Boog.
On the day
Calm, close, and easy to forget.
Quiet
I don't run the room. I read it. No staged moments, no shouting for the bouquet toss. You live the day and I follow it.
Close
The good stuff is small. A held breath before the doors open. A grandfather wiping his eyes. I shoot for those, not the checklist.
Present
I know when to gently direct and when to disappear, so the real moments can breathe. You stay in it. I hold onto it.
Why "Selah"
Stop here. Breathe. Notice this.
It's a word from the Psalms, a pause written into the music. That's the whole idea. Most wedding video rushes. I'd rather slow down and pay attention, so years from now the film still feels like the day did.
Let's talk
If this sounds like your kind of day, say hello.
No pressure and no script. Tell me a little and I'll tell you whether I'm the right fit.
