Dan Stewart, a Central Michigan University graduate who resides in Northern Michigan, has a simple philosophy toward wedding
photography: “I am a storyteller, driven by emotion.” Inspired by laughter,
tears, love, family and friends, Stewart says that being a husband and
father has given him drive for the art. “Love is responsible for the most
wonderful events in our lives; as a photographer, I am in the fortunate
position of documenting those events.” His connection to weddings
started before he stepped behind the lens. “Believe it or not, I made
wedding cakes before I started doing this,” he says. Stewart’s images are
fresh, modern and convey a realistic account of the emotions that take
place during a couple’s wedding. At the end of the day, he’s just doing
what he loves to do. —JT
