I think I fit the bill as I'm a consumer-minded 20-something year old of the female persuasion! 
My first impression was that I liked the orange circle loading thingamabob that resembles an engagement ring.
Second impression was that it wasn't quite centered between the two-photo title image.
Third impression (as the photos were flipping by) was that the auto-resizing thing is really slick and the photos are beautiful, especially the one where the couple is kissing in the green field with the orange sunset.
Fourth impression was that the sub-menus load too slowly for my taste (for example, you need to wait for "about Daniel" and "my philosophy" to show up before the "pricing" option shows up). While I don't *think* you'd lose a serious potential client over this, repeat viewers who know exactly where they want to go may get a little impatient. And I've got a short attention span when it comes to waiting for pages to load.
Fifth impression is that the font size is a bit small for me on the "about Daniel" and "contact" pages - again with the short attention span thing, but if something requires too much effort to read, I won't read it.
Overall, I found the site to be well laid out, user-friendly and easy to navigate. I think the "about Daniel" photos are fun and will go a long way in attracting the type of client you're looking for. The neutral color scheme with orange accent complements the images well. The full screen and music on/off options are good.
Hope this helps somewhat!
Ah, a female! Thank you ma'am, that actually was helpful. There are a few things I'm just not able to change (such as the loading speed of the submenus), but I made note of the rest. I changed the first image so there isn't a symmetry issue, and made the fonts larger in the text sections. I also added a few new images (first bridal photo and a couple others) and rearranged them a little.
Thanks again
