I was so used to being behind the camera as a stylist that being the subject was a nerve-wracking idea. But with Dana my nerves were gone in an instant. It was just like hanging out with my best friend! Her calm go-with-the-flow personality made it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy their time. Dana caught all of those special moments - and some that I didn't even realize were happening! Our posed shots were easy, fun and beautiful, but those candid moments took the cake. There were some truly funny moments that we never would have known about, but are cemented in our wedding album for years to come.
When our wedding album finally arrived, I cried. It was so beautiful and it brought back all of those lovely memories. In addition to our album, we also ordered a large print of our favorite private moment by the rose hedge on the property. It hangs prominently in our living room and as cheesey as it may sound, it brings me so much joy every time I see it.
Working with Dana was a true pleasure. Her responses were always timely and concise. Her quality of work and attention to details were wonderful. And finally, she made a stressful day easy, enjoyable, and relaxing. And as a bride who planned the whole day on her own, Dana was exactly the person I needed to capture it all.

Dana was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire wedding process. From when we first reached out hire her, to receiving our photo gallery. We definitely chose the right photographer for our special day. She is trustworthy, commutative, and very clearly passionate about her work. On wedding day, Dana made everything comfortable and easy. She directed us and our families on positioning and posing for photos seamlessly, and made everything feel very natural. Many of our family members complimented how lovely it was working with Dana. When we got our gallery back, we were completely in awe of how perfect it was. We wanted a moody and natural look, and wow did Dana deliver. She captured our day so beautifully. We cannot express enough how happy we are with how our photos turned out. If we had to do it all over again, we’d choose Dana to be our photographer again in a heartbeat.

Working with Dana Kae has been incredible from the very beginning and even post wedding, she continues to be amazing to work with. After our initial consultation I knew I wanted her to be our photographer - she was warm, friendly, and professional. Leading up to the day - she was thorough and very communicative so we were all on the same page. During the wedding she was so great with my family and friends and our dog - they all loved her. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and made it so fun. And when we got the photos back, my husband and I were speechless. All the feelings and memories from the day were captured so beautifully, I am still in awe. And now we continue to work with her to put our wedding album together which she has been the best to work with. I can't recommend her enough - her photos are truly memories we will treasure for our lifetime.

I would absolutely recommend Dana without hesitation! She captured our wedding in exactly the storytelling way we had envisioned. I'm an amateur photographer who occasionally takes landscape and portrait photos, so I had one hard requirement when searching for a wedding photographer: the photos had to feel real and alive. By 'real,' I mean that the photos should help me remember the moment — reminding me of what I was feeling, thinking, and experiencing. And by 'alive,' I wanted the photos’ editing and tones to express emotions on their own.

When we received Dana's photos, I could feel that they were special. The images brought me back to moments like how nervous I was while reading my private vows to my wife, the joy radiating from her face that day, and the wild, carefree energy of our family and friends on the dance floor. Dana’s editing added another layer to the photos, giving them a soft, cinematic feel with a great balance of light and tone. It really felt like looking back on our wedding day in motion.

Although we didn’t have a large budget, Dana exceeded our expectations and delivered stunning work that truly captured the essence of our day. We’re so grateful for her talent, professionalism, and the care she put into every shot. We couldn't be more thankful for the memories she’s given us.

We could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our wedding! Dana is kind, easy to communicate with, and joy to be around. She made us feel comfortable behind the camera and helped us realize our vision. The final photos were not only stunning but they also felt like us. Going through the photos after our wedding instantly transported us back in time to our special day and we felt like we were experiencing it all over again. In short, she is amazing and you should book her for your photos!

Dana is incredible to work with! She communicated effectively through the planning process, the day of, and afterward to keep us in the loop with timelines and expectations. We had a guest list of 100 individuals with the wedding itself broken into 3 segments. Dana captured the entire event in magnificent detail and we have photos of all the guests, which makes the memories all the more valuable. She is absolutely delightful to work with, being flexible with our changing schedule (we decided to extend our hours, which she accommodated without any issue) and venue. I would strongly recommend Dana Kae Photography to anyone celebrating a special occasion!

My husband and I had such a great experience with Dana! With how friendly and kind she is, it made it really easy to be comfortable being photographed. The photos came out great and I loved the shareable link for family to view the photos when they were ready.
We started with an intro video call talking about what the day would look like, general greetings, and getting to know each other. It was a nice time to meet Dana before the day. Helped with photo ideas and even a little of the plan for the day to make sure we had enough time booked with her. The photos were a nice mixture of black&white and color with so many options! Had a overall great experience and thinking of booking some time for our anniversary with her!

From start to finish, Dana made the entire photography process incredible. My husband and I had only a few months to plan our wedding and struggled to find a photographer who truly understood our vision. The moment we saw Dana's portfolio, we knew she was the one. Her unique artistic perspective and exceptional talent for capturing intimate, romantic moments are truly remarkable. Dana connected with us via Zoom to discuss our ideas and preferences, and her warm, professional approach put us at ease right away. Her communication throughout the planning phase was fantastic, and she guided us in creating a clear photo timeline to ensure every special moment was captured.On the wedding day, Dana was an absolute rockstar. She was always in the right place at the right time, orchestrating stunning shots while seamlessly blending into the background. She has a gift for keeping the atmosphere intimate and relaxed, and making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, which made our family and group photos so much fun. Despite stormy weather, Dana masterfully timed each shot to take advantage of sunny breaks and even captured a stunning sunset. The final photos exceeded our expectations—they’re artistic, heartfelt, and absolutely beautiful. Dana also presented them in a private online gallery that we could easily share with loved ones. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will make your experience effortless and your photos extraordinary, I can’t recommend Dana enough!

Dana was the best photographer we could have ever asked for - she was the perfect person to capture our small, intimate ceremony and reception. This was the first time we had hired a professional photographer and the process was so smooth with her. She was extremely communicative throughout everything, incredibly kind, very inclusive, an expert with poses/lighting/etc. and made us and our family and friends feel so comfortable. Our photos turned out gorgeous and fit the moody, PNW vibe I was looking for. You can tell that she puts so much work and effort into creating what your vision. Dana is amazing!

We booked Dana to photograph our wedding and we're SO glad we did. The photos turned out better than we ever imagined they would. She made my wife and I feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. She is super cool and it was so fun working with her. Multiple guests told us how great our photographer is throughout the day. AND she stayed well passed her scheduled time because there was possibly going to be northern lights later in the evening. She volunteered to do this!
