From initial booking to wedding day, working with Danette was such a fun and seamless process. Danette is so professional and talented. She was able to suggest certain timelines for photography on wedding day to ensure that we were able to take all of the photos before the ceremony. Danette is a great person to work with and captures the beautiful moments perfectly. She was a NINJA on wedding day! She got all of the memorable moments and captured it perfectly without feeling like she was "in our face" all night!

There is no one better. Danette photographed my sister’s wedding and I knew from when I first saw the photos she took, that when it was my turn, Danette would be the first vendor I booked. Everything was perfection from start to finish. She got to know us as a couple, listened, and captured so many of the best, unnoticed moments from our day. Her turnaround time is unmatched and the finished product, in terms of both the photos and our album design process, was seamless. She created the perfect timeline for our wedding day, everything ran on schedule, and we were able to be present and in the moment throughout everything. We never felt rushed or pulled away from enjoying the day and night with our loved ones. Her work stands out so so much and her photos bring you right back to the emotions you felt in the moment.

Danette was a delight to work with. She was extremely patient with us during 2020/2021 reschedules. We really wanted a photographer that captured moments during the day instead of forcing photos. During our ceremony and reception, we never felt like there was a camera in our face. When we received the photos, we were beyond overjoyed. She not only captured the canid pictures everyone wants for their blow-up canvas, but she also got some great action shots off all our guests. She captured moments we didn’t even know were happing around us. We highly recommend her.

Danette is so fun to work with. We had to postpone twice due to the pandemic and she was really flexible in working with us. She was always super responsive, really positive, and just had a very calm demeanor, which was super awesome to have on our wedding day (especially when you're a nervous wreck like me, haha). We had a sweltering hot day and a few hiccups along the way and she just rolled with it. We could not have asked for a better photographer!

Danette is a versatile photographer who can do wide, expansive shots, intimate romantic shots, and traditional portraits. What really sold her was that she understood that weddings are a family event and that it was important to catch moments with family and friends. My husband and I don't consider ourselves to be photogenic people, but we looked great and she really brought our day to life in her pictures. I still can't believe how happy it makes me to open our album, which was designed and arranged so well. She's also receptive to requests, sensitive to family drama, and very organized. She's really a treasure and I'd highly recommend her services to anyone. We had a ten hour package with her and it was definitely worth it. Don't skimp on photography! You'll be looking at them for a long time! We're so happy we went with her!

Danette was such a pleasure to work with. From our planning sessions through presenting her final work - we loved working with her! Being a great photographer is only one of her dimensions - her creativity, thoughtful, patience, organized, having a ninja-like stealth (we hardly knew she was there - the pictures prove otherwise) and just being fun are a few others that come to mind. Her assistant Todd was awesome too and had everyone laughing during our group pictures! We loved her photographic style, and she did not disappoint when we saw her final work. We would not hesitate to recommend Danette. Her work speaks for itself.

Danette was the perfect photographer to capture our wedding day. She did such an amazing job, and was a pleasure to work with! She took stunning photographs of all our special and important moments, even little ones we weren’t expecting, hadn’t noticed, or had already forgotten about! Her photojournalistic style really made our wedding come to life in the photos. She also worked magic on our staged bride and groom photos! We had an intimate 15-person wedding, and Danette’s presence somehow managed to be unobtrusive (she was a photographic ninja!), but also approachable if you wanted to ask her questions or chat. Danette did an amazing job, and we cannot say enough great things about her! You should definitely book her for your event. You will not be disappointed!

Danette is an incredibly talented photographer. While researching photographers for the wedding, we were immediately drawn to her uncanny ability to capture the right stuff, at the right time. We planned our wedding from far away, and chose to not do engagement photos, but wanted to meet Danette before the wedding. She drove an hour out of her way to have coffee and get to know us so we’d be comfortable in front of the camera on the big day. She didn’t even take a picture of us yet and already had scored serious brownie points! It poured on the day of the wedding, but we wanted to take pictures outside. Again, no problem for Danette. She listened to what we wanted, and made it happen. Our photos turned out exactly in the style she displays on her website and blog. Don’t take a chance with anyone else. The quality of her work is a sure thing. Thanks, Danette!!

TL;DR. Why Danette is the perfect choice for your wedding photographer: 1) extremely talented; 2) highly polished professional; 3) absolutely delightful person. I feel so lucky she was part of our day and would recommend her to anyone.

Danette Pascarella is everything we hoped for in a wedding photographer and more. From our first phone call with her, we could tell she was a lovely person who is passionate about her work, and we loved her work, so we decided to take the leap. In the run-up to the wedding, Danette went above and beyond in corresponding with us and making time to get to know our personalities and our backstory.

But where she really shone was on the day of the wedding. As someone who doesn’t love having my photo taken, I’d been imagining that the photography part of the wedding would be something of a chore for me (the bride), a necessary evil. Instead, it was one of the most fun and joyful parts of the day. I loved having Danette there to photograph small, intimate moments like each of us getting ready and the “first look,” the moment when we first saw each other all dressed up. Danette even helped me with some dress zipper issues and created a lovely moment with me and my mom that might not have happened without her there.

Then it was time for the photos of us as a couple, and Danette made it so much fun and so effortless that it was one of the most relaxing parts of the day. I felt like I was just getting to roam around our venue joking and making out with my soon-to-be-husband and I barely noticed we were also getting our photos taken. We felt like Danette and her assistant were friends hanging out with us even as they snapped away. She made us smile, she made us laugh, and she seemed to really “get” us and be having as much fun as we were.

After that, we did the group formals and Danette and her assistant breezed through them efficiently and speedily. Following that was the ceremony and I never even saw her there. We connected briefly after the ceremony for some shots, but after that, I was enjoying the dinner and dance party and barely noticed her presence except when she very briefly pulled us out of the party for an outdoor night shot. I wondered whether she had gotten enough photos, since I’d seen so little of her.

So about a month and a half later, when she sent us the link to our complete photos, I was absolutely blown away. Not only had she gotten tons of beautiful photos at every stage of the day, but she’d captured so many wonderful moments that I didn’t even know had happened or had already forgotten about. The journalistic style of her photography is so vibrant and full of life—I had more than one person who wasn’t able to attend tell me that, after seeing the photos, they felt like they were actually there for the wedding. And when my now-husband and I look at the photos, they totally take us back to the emotions and experiences of the day. Danette captured our families and friends so lovingly and beautifully, and she caught so many incredible little moments. But if you want the more traditional stuff, she’s excellent at that, too—I couldn’t believe how great everyone looked in the family formals, where it’s so hard to get a big group of people in synch.

Everything Danette offers, she does in such a wonderful, classy way, like the gorgeous box of prints she sent us. Even the USB stick we got the final files on is a lovely keepsake.

I can’t recommend Danette highly enough. I have only had one wedding (and hope to keep it that way), but it’s hard for me to imagine any wedding photographer giving a couple a more wonderful experience than Danette gave us.

I cannot say enough about our experience with Danette. Both our engagement photo session and wedding day photography was absolutely incredible. She is a natural, makes you laugh and feel comfortable, and is very professional in how she runs business. She is prompt, attentive to detail, and worth every penny. My family was so impressed by her. We love Danette and hope to work with her again in the future!
