Wonderful experience and great photos!

Dana was wonderful! She was great to work with and was very calm and relaxed throughout the day. Dana does a great job of capturing the emotion and the lighting in her photos is stunning. Dana was also really organized beforehand making sure she had the exact list of all the formal family photos we wanted so the process would run smoothly and quickly. My husband and I would definitely recommend her!

Wonderful experience

We are so Thankful we chose Dana for our photographer.
My son and his fiancée decided on a beach wedding but did not know anyone in the Jacksonville area.
We started our search by calling wedding boutiques and wedding planners in that area. The same name kept coming up
" Dana Goodson" after visiting her website and speaking with her over the phone , I knew she was the one!!
I am a retired photographer myself so I'm pretty picky and knew what I wanted. Her understanding of light and the ability to capture those special moments were what I was looking for.
Her professionalism was outstanding and made their special day a beautiful success.
We are all thrilled with the images she captured!!!!

definitely the one to choose...

Dana did both our engagement and wedding photos. She was lovely to work with and the quality of our wedding photos was stunning. Multiple people commented on how lovely the pictures turned out. I wish I lived closer so I could have her do family shoots as well.

Wonderful photographer!

Dana was extremely professional, fun to work with, creative and we got the most beautiful pictures we could have ever asked for. I would highly recommend her for any venue! We had outdoor, nighttime wedding which can be challenging. The lighting and everything was perfect!!

Excellent experience! Highly recommend Dana!

Dana photographed our May 2019 wedding on Amelia Island and we could not be happier with our experience working with her as well as our photos. We booked Dana as our photographer more than a year in advance and for the entire time leading up to our wedding she was organized, communicative, kind, and walked us through the process step-by-step. She was extremely quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had. On our wedding day, she guided us and our family through every shot with firmness, yet kindness. It was clear she knew what shots she wanted and was able to effectively communicate with us so we could position ourselves appropriately. She was also able to work quickly, particularly with our formal shots, so we could spend more time with our guests. She was calm and sure for the entire day which allowed us to let go about worrying about the photos and just enjoy the day. I wholeheartedly recommend Dana to any couple looking for a wedding photographer.

Absolutely lovely!

Dana did an INCREDIBLE job on our photos! I was so pleased with how they turned out. Not only that, but Dana was so helpful throughout the entire experience (as we know weddings can be stressful!). This was one less thing I had to worry about. She did a great job of getting lots of different sceneries which made for plenty of unique photos. It’s impossible to choose a favorite! I had multiple people tell me our photos looked like they should be in a magazine! She was so pleasant and friendly and I would absolutely refer anyone to her!

Best investment from our wedding!

We worked with Dana for our wedding at Club Continental over 8 years ago and I love our pictures just as much today as when we first got them back. Dana was so easy to work with during our engagement pictures and during the actual wedding day. We ended up losing power after a storm came through and you cannot tell a thing from the pictures -- they are perfect! (Club Continental was great during the power loss if you are considering them as well!) The style of her photography is so timeless and beautiful. Two of my good friends that attended my wedding ended up working with Dana for their weddings after they saw how great our pictures were. I HIGHLY recommend working with Dana -- you will be so glad you have her pictures to remember the day after the wedding is complete.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
