Reviews of Dani Cowan Photography

Gorgeous photos from a gorgeous human.

We knew from the moment we spoke with Dani that she was the consummate professional — but wow, we were totally taken away by how she practices her art in person! Dani kept us at ease, allowing us to sink into the moment and forget that a camera was even present. She and her second shooter, Kelsey, truly felt like two of our guests. We cannot thank them enough for being so patient, so kind, and so detail-oriented as we danced through the phases of the day. We never felt rushed, which is such a blessing, because the day is now perfectly etched into our memory as the best day of our lives.

The pandemic caused us to shift our plans from a large wedding to a small, intimate elopement with just a handful of our favorite people. But Dani captured the day beautifully, and we couldn't be more grateful.

Thank you so much, Dani & Kelsey!

PS: Did I mention she shoots in FILM?!

Hire Dani, she’s incredible!

Dani truly goes above and beyond, we are blown away by the absolutely stunning photographs from both our engagement session and wedding day! She is so talented, expertly capturing everything from romantic portraits and intimate, unplanned moments to well-executed family formals and fun, natural images of us and our guests that perfectly document our day. Her photos are timeless, show a thoughtful and artistic approach, and she’s dedicated to capturing what matters most. In addition to her talent and skill, Dani exudes kindness. She's positive and calm, putting us and our families at ease. With just the right amount of cues and her sweet demeanor, Dani makes you feel comfortable, the experience fun and the photos gorgeous!

An exceptional experience!

Dani was a joy to work with and captured our day even more beautifully than I could have imagined! She also went above and beyond to make me feel 100% comfortable all day! She helped me set aside the stress and pressure to please everyone by fully encouraging me to just BE...in the moment, with my husband, and celebrating our love. Dani is a treasure as a photographer and person. Your experience will be that much richer by having Dani Cowan Photography as a part of your most important moments.

She will take your breath away! She is your gal!

Dani is the BEST! She has taken our photos numerous times and it somehow over exceeds our expectations each and EVERY time! She is beautiful on the inside and out and somehow makes you feel the EXACT same when she is photographing you. Whether is it s single shot, couple or people are watching- her calm and pleasant demeanor makes you feel like you are the only one around. She is amazing at what she does to say the least! WE LOVE DANI! Don't bother looking elsewhere- she's it!

Dani is an absolute gem

I can't say enough amazing things about Dani Cowan. Her film style is unmatched and she is an absolute gem to work with! Her down to earth nature seamlessly ties in with her professionalism. Dani will provide you with the best wedding photos possible and she will do it with confidence and a smile on her face. I have worked with Dani as a wedding planner and I knew once I was engaged that Dani was the photographer I wanted to hire. I have always loved her photography style and appreciated her work ethic at all weddings we worked together. Dani captured our wedding day perfectly and we felt so comfortable with her behind the camera. Dani gave us pointers on the most flattering poses and I am beyond thrilled with how our wedding (and engagement) photos turned out. Couples, do yourself a favor and book Dani Cowan. She will make your photography dreams come true!

To put it simply, Dani is the best

Dani is unique, just like her work. From the moment I met her, I knew my images were going to be stunning. Her film shots exceeded every expectation I had dreamt of. My images turned out romantic, fresh and timeless, I could have not been more pleased. When booking with Dani you don’t just get a fine photographer, you get a new best-girl friend! She will help you cherish every moment she’s with you and provide you images for a lifetime of remembrance.

A True Artist

We hired Dani to shoot our Sept 2020 wedding back in the summer of 2019. Since that time she has been a wonderful resource for wedding related questions, suggestions on the timeline of the wedding, providing vendor recommendations, and just an overall positive outlook on everything. We have obviously not had our wedding yet but I we have done our engagement photos. Dani met us in Vail for some village and on mountain shots. I am personally very comfortable in front of the camera as my mom loved photography and forced us into MANY family photoshoots. I was nervous about my fiancé feeling comfortable and knowing how to pose or what to do. But Dani eased that fear the moment she noted my fiancé going in for the same pose in every shot. She provides excellent feedback on posing so that you look natural and comfortable in photos. She does an amazing job at making you feel like it is just you and your significant other and she is just there to capture the moment.
When we got our photos back from our shoot I was even more impressed with her. Not only was Dani easy to work with she provides you with photos that are truly magnificent. She is a great person and a true artist! Her light and airy style makes everything seem like it is out of a fairytale. I could not recommend her more! I know that our wedding photos will be more than perfect and I can’t wait to work with her again! I personally know that our wedding will not be the last time we work with her!
Thank you Dani for bringing so much beauty into this world through your photography! And couple would be thrilled to work with you!

Anniversary photos in Rome, Italy with my husband!

My husband and I were so thrilled to meet Dani in Rome, Italy and take photos in front of the Colosseum! Seriously a dream come true! As a photographer myself, I was a tiny bit nervous. She instantly put us at ease with her fun and sweet personality! She even helped me pick an outfit the night before! She's more than an artist, I felt like we were immediately friends. When we got her photos, we were beyond overjoyed! Each frame is perfect. She's sooo talented with film - I love how we weren't washed out or over exposed like other film photographers tend to do. We also looove her eye for unique and cool angles and detail moments. We feel so blessed to have such timeless memories from a photographer who goes above and beyond for her clients. Best day ever, best decision ever, best photographer ever! Grazie, thank you Dani!!

Dani far (and I mean FAR) exceeded our expectations with the photos she took of our wedding. I fell in love with her bio online as well as the photos in her portfolio. One thing that caught my eye about Dani were some of her past reviews. I ran across multiple reviews of people that seemed to be so happy with Dani’s work that they continued to seek her out for future sessions. I can honestly say that my husband and I plan to track her down in the future to do photos as our family grows. There is no one out there we would rather photograph our milestones. She is THAT amazing! Not only is her work absolutely outstanding but she has the sweetest soul. We were head over heals in love with our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She could not have done a better job. I would choose Dani as our wedding photographer over and over again. We feel deeply blessed that Dani captured our wedding day and now consider her a dear friend. Trust me when I say you absolutely want her to photograph your life moments. You will treasure the photos she takes forever. She is extremely talented and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Dani is amazing! She photographed my destination wedding in Washington in August 2017. Every single picture she took was beautiful and better than I ever could have hoped for! Beyond being incredibly talented, she is a joy to work with. She's friendly, easygoing, and professional. I can't recommend Dani enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
