I´m so sorry to read about this. Dan was the photographer at my wedding also (Aug 1995)... he was fantastic. I knew it would be great as I was one of his contract photographers through the 90´s. I even brought one of my friends on board (Jim) as his business was booming. In fact, it was because of Dan that I was able to start my own photography business.
Dan, although we lost touch over the years, I will never forget you.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Dan was the photographer for our wedding in October 1995, in Arlington Heights IL. The photos were wonderful & Dan was so kind. I had just looked at our wedding album & found his business address in Evanston IL. I am so sorry for your loss. He was so young.
