Dan Eldridge Photography

"Before mentioning anything about photography, I have to say that Dan is one of those individuals you can count on when you are in need. He does what he says he is going to do and that should go far in anyone's book these days. Regarding the shots...Dan has a great eye for composition and a great sense of capturing the moment. As one who does some photography for my profession, I am fairly picky about photos--particularly working with the available light. Dan was able to capture the moments above and beyond what I would have chosen. I am thrilled with these shots! Also, there is a great deal of work that must go into processing shots with the software after the event--sometimes, taking even more time than the event itself. I know that Dan spent a lot of time and effort poring over each shot to get it just right for presentation. This is an often-overlooked element in the creative flow of the work and Dan absolutely nailed it. Our band was incredibly pleased with the outcome and you will be as well."

“I had a great photo session with Dan at The Stone Pony! He is very professional but also came in and immediately was a friend at our party. Dan captured some great shots of the show! Between his personable presence and his passion for his work it quickly becomes a very comfortable experience to work with Dan. I will surely work with Dan again, and I highly recommend him.”

“I’m the bass player for NJ rocker Darren DeMarco. When we first found out that we were performing at the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park NJ, I immediately told Darren that for this show, ‘WE DEFINITELY NEED KILLER PHOTOS!’ For any up and coming band it’s imperative that you take full advantage of performances at venues that can help your career. Darren introduced me to Dan about an hour before our set and I felt like I knew him all my life! Just a great guy with a super personality, I was excited to see how he approached shooting such an important show for us. When I saw the prints during the following week, I was blown away! Dan captured the true essence of the show! The excitement, the energy and most of all the passion shared by Darren, myself and our other band mates. Dan is a true artist who has ‘the eye’ as they say and knows how to capture emotion. I highly recommend him for ANY “LIVE” PERFORMANCE you might have!!”

"Dan has photographed several events for Summit Medical Group, and has always provided a creative array of high quality images. He is very personable and works well with people - from kids to high powered execs - and has always been a pleasure to do business with."

-Eileen O’Shaughnessy, Marketing Director, Summit Medical Group

“Dan did a location shoot at BB King Blues Club in NYC for my band Human Wheels. We couldn't have been happier - Dan's shots were very artistic, he has a great eye! The posed group shots came out wonderfully. He also shot stage photos during our performance in a way that was not distracting to the band or the audience. His personality is friendly and easygoing, which puts everyone at ease! He was reliable, and the proofs were finished in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend him!”

“Thanks so much for photographing our 2012 prom. Everyone loved the pictures and we hung them all over the school. We are making a memory book this year and plan on using many of the pictures from that event. I look forward to working with you on future events and would be happy to recommend your services to anyone in need of event photography. Thanks again.”

-Alisha Cole, Director, Imagine Nation Learning Center

Corporate Event: Annual Celebration

"I recently engaged the services of Dan Eldridge Photography for my daughter's Sweet Sixteen party. Dan's style of blending into the crowd worked quite well, since the last thing teenagers want is to feel like there's an adult hanging around. He took all the posed family pictures that we requested, plus took many candid photos - he really captured the good time everyone was having. He arrived in plenty of time & turned the online proofs around very quickly, with the disk & proof book not far behind. All in all, we were very happy with the services Dan provided and would not hesitate to hire him again in the future."

-Eric Weisser

“Thanks for the great shots of our grand opening. All the pictures were top notch. You really managed to catch the excitement of the day!”

Corporate Event: Grand Opening

"I wanted to say a word of thanks for the great photos you shot for my 75th birthday. They completely captured the day and everyone there was included. I especially appreciated the non-intrusive way that you went about your business. You blended right in and I don't think anyone was aware of your task at hand. Great job. Again, thanks."
