About

You don’t want a basic wedding package and you definitely don’t want just any photographer for your Monterey or Carmel Wedding.As a wedding photographer, my connection to my couples is more important to me than anything else

You want a wedding photographer who you can trust to capture every single moment: from your guests' reactions as they arrive at the picturesque winery or the beachfront wedding you’ve chosen for your wedding venue, to the getaway car at the end of the night when it hits you that you are really married now. You want a wedding photographer who can help you feel calm and relaxed throughout the planning process, and filled with joy and laughter on your wedding day.

Serving couples getting married in dreamy wedding locations, whether it’s a vineyard in Carmel Valley or a beach wedding in Monterey, fills my heart with so much joy. It’s always a thrill to return to venues I love, but with nearly 100 weddings in my portfolio, it still surprises me how different each and every wedding day truly is. The menu you choose, the music you dance to, the color palette that inspires you - it all comes together on your wedding day to tell your story.


As your wedding photographer - and your new unofficial hype woman - I’m here to reassure you: your love story is unique and incredible and I will make sure your wedding photos remind you of that every day.

YOU CAN RELAX NOW, YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

Wedding photographer!

I can't say enough amazing things about Dana! Dana was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding on 6/20/2020 and I knew from the start she was going to be great! The first time I met Dana was at our engagement photo shoot and she made the session so much fun and made us feel so at ease in the front of the camera! When we got our pictures back from the engagement shoot I was absolutely floored about how phenomenal they turned out! Unfortunately, our initial wedding date didn't work out due to the coronavirus but Dana was extremely flexible with us rescheduling. Now, on to the wedding day...Dana was even more amazing! I ended up forgetting my wedding flowers and Dana was sweet enough to not only pick up my flowers before arriving to the venue but even offered to pick us up Starbucks on the way! Dana truly made our wedding day go smoothly and not only acted as our photographer but also stepped up as a coordinator to make sure we enjoyed our day to the fullest. Dana was a HUGE hit with our friends and family. She made our vision for our coastal/beach themed wedding pictures come true. Dana is extremely talented at what she does and I 100% recommend her to any brides and grooms out there!

Wonderful Photographer, Goes Above and Beyond

Dana is amazing! From our first meeting to post-wedding, she is very responsive, considers our needs as the couple, and went above and beyond in the days before the wedding day and during the wedding itself. She brought an incredible team of a second shooter and assistant, who made sure my veil and dress were perfect for every shot, and the whole day was just so fun! From donuts and champagne pops while getting ready, to the ceremony, formal photos, and the reception and late-night tacos. The photos turned out AMAZING and I am in aww at Dana’s talent. I highly recommend her!

A great artist

A true talent and an extreme kindness. Being a destination floral designer I see a ton of photos everyday, these photos stand the test of time! So clean and fresh! She is a true artist. Highly recommended.
Hope to see you again in Greece
