Timeless, authentic, & emotional memories

For couples who value LOVE and LEGACY

Welcome! I'm Darryl and here is my story.

Back in 2015, choosing a seat on the first day of class had unforeseeable consequences. My wife and I, both studying for our Doctorate of Pharmacy degrees at UNC-Chapel Hill, began our love story then. Today, our family has expanded with the arrival of our daughter, Ava.

During pharmacy school, I purchased my first camera, which took me back to my teenage years when I used to film weddings with my grandfather. The joy of capturing special moments for others made photography an irresistible career choice. While Tomi remains the best pharmacist I know, I feel blessed to have started Optikool Illusions.

When I’m not helping our clients feel comfortable in front of the camera or perfecting their images, I devote myself fully to my family. I believe everyone should experience the gift of being present, especially on their wedding day. That’s why we take care of the technical details and let you focus on looking and feeling your best, surrounded by those you love.

Reviews

Darryl and his team were great! We had a few meetings before the wedding to go over the ideas we had and he provided options and additional ideas that we could incorporate. We hired them for photography and videography and they arrived at our location with enough time to get situated and get started by the time we discussed. They did an excellent job handling some of our toughest picture requests and produced amazing pictures even before editing. They were very professional and we would definitely hire them again if we had to do it all over.

This was the best crew we could have asked for! They were professional and felt like part of the family at the same time. My husband and I appreciated that they were able to help us with ideas and were very creative with some of the photography. We definitely got more than we expected!

Fantastic photographers!! Darryl and Carlos went above and beyond to capture every moment on our special day. From making sure we had photos with all our guests to arranging access to special areas on our venue for more beautiful shots- they did it all! They were lovely and personal and we highly recommend their services.

Darryl and his team at Optikool Illusions did a fantastic job with our wedding, trailer, and highlight videos. He went above and beyond to ensure we got the products we wanted. We were amazed by the end product and highly recommend booking Optikool Illusions. He did an incredible job with our cultural wedding and captured all the essential details. I have watched the video with multiple family and friends, and they are all amazed by the wedding video. His team was professional and made us feel comfortable. Make sure to book Optikool Illusions for your wedding needs.

From the first day I contacted Optikool illusions, they were great. Very professional. They had exactly what I was looking for. They literally captured every min of my wedding in my pictures. The video quality is amazing. I would use them over and over again for any major events. You will not be disappointed if you choose them. Memories are something people can’t take from you and when you add pictures to them it makes them that much more special. There is no better Greensboro Wedding Photographer.
