Anyone looking for a photographer in Indiana (or the midwest generally) needs to stop what you’re doing and book Dana Granholm right now!

I happened to stumble upon Dana through Facebook and after seeing some of his pictures (and falling in love with his candid shots specifically) I immediately reached out to him and he got back to me right away. During our consultation, we found Dana to be very personable, knowledgeable, and kind. We were looking for a photographer that could do both our engagement and wedding photos - with the catch that the engagement photos would be in Indianapolis, while the wedding was about two and a half to three hours north. Dana had no issues accommodating such a request.

Working with Dana for both our engagement photos (May 2019) and wedding (May 2021) was wonderful! Our engagement photos were the first time Shawn and I ever had professional photos taken together (and I’m sure Dana quickly picked up on that). However, during the shoot, it felt like we were talking with an old friend. Dana made us feel very comfortable and delivered stunning photos, which we received unbelievably quick (within 4-5 days of the shoot).

Dana was also very accommodating, helpful, and supportive throughout our wedding journey. We had a venue change due to our original venue burning down and a postponement due to Covid-19. Dana was quick to communicate with us, offered to help us find a new venue after the fire, and had no problem changing our date due to the pandemic, which was a full year out.

At the wedding, we were so impressed with Dana’s ability to handle/work with our wedding party and families. He even helped the groomsmen with their boutonnières! He did a great job at keeping to schedule, but at the same time was 100% able to go with the flow of things and accommodate my silly photo requests. He also worked phenomenally well with our videographer which was nice!

Our wedding photos are phenomenal! He captured the most beautiful shots, which were full of those candid moments I was dying to have. I still cannot believe these are MY wedding photos. Especially since the day of the wedding was terribly windy, but he made everything look amazing. We were also VERY impressed with how Dana was able to capture a large variety of our guests in the photos. It really makes it special to go through the photos and see literally everyone who attended that made your night so special. We will treasure all of these photos forever. Dana also provided us a stunning guest book with our engagement photos and a beautiful wedding photo album. The fact that we received well over 500 absolutely beautiful pictures in about a month is unbelievable as well.

Dana, thank you SO much for joining us on our wedding journey, treating us with such kindness, and capturing the love in every photo you took. We simply cannot recommend Dana enough! We have already, and will continue to, recommend Dana Granholm Photography to others so their wedding night, and special moments, can be as beautifully captured as ours was!
