    The Perfect Choice!

    Dani was the perfect photographer for our day. She understood our vision perfectly, she went above and beyond in working with our other vendors, and she brought me such a sense of calm that I desperately needed as a bride! Even our friends in our bridal party (who have all been in many weddings) complimented Dani and her efficiency and energy. We love our pictures and we love Dani! We can't wait to have Dani photograph our family for years to come. Thank you, Dani!!!

    Dani is the absolute best!!

    Hiring Dani as our wedding photographer was hands down the best decision we made! She is not only an amazing photographer, but also an amazing and fun person to be around! She made us feel like movie stars and everyone loved her. She went above and beyond to get the shots and guests are raving about the photos she took! We had the best time of our lives, and she really knew how to capture it. Hire Dani - you will not regret it!! We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos. Thank you again, Dani!

    Dani, the long lost family member you did not know about!

    Everything about Dani stood out to us during our search for a wedding photographer. We loved how her photos captured the joy of the people in them and her editing was so natural and bright. She was prompt to answer our inquiry and she set up a virtual meeting and we chatted for over an hour. She was transparent about her contract and terms and that others were seeking the same date as us. Dani, you were the easiest vendor to book and I know this won't be our last time using you. Every interaction with you was so encouraging, which is especially necessary for a nervous couple navigating planning the biggest party of their life! Dani's company was so refreshing and positive. Throughout your wedding day, you spend the most intimate moments with your photographer so you need someone that is there for good prompts but is not overbearing. Dani was that plus a great time! We are so pleased with the work she did, our wedding album is absolute perfection. Dani, you were a delight to work with and we are so thankful we happened upon you. If you have read this far, just go book Dani! Your wedding album is timeless and working with Dani is a breath of fresh air!

    Book Dani now!!

    Stop looking and book Dani now!! She is an amazing photographer (obviously) but she’s so much more. You spend your whole wedding day with your photographer so why not choose someone who can make you laugh and capture every candid moment?! Dani made sure to get the traditional wedding photos but also captured so much emotion and joy on our big day. I have endless favorites from our album and love that our personality and the personalities of our guests come through in each photo. Dani knows what she’s doing and will make your day FUN! We have memories to last a lifetime but also pictures that express every feeling from our wedding. We cannot thank Dani enough for being our photographer.

    Absolute awesomeness

    DANI IS THE BEST EVER!! The second we met Dani for our engagement photos it felt like we’d been friends forever. My now husband and I have always been a bit shy about having our picture taken but Dani made it SO FUN! And she’s incredibly talented. Our photos turned out more beautiful than I could ever have imagined.. and I know lots of people say that but I have friends, family, coworkers, random people who weren’t even at our wedding telling me almost every day how amazing the pictures turned out. Hire this woman. Weddings are stressful and she will help take the weight off and make you genuinely laugh and capture all the love and joy of your special day. Cheers friends!

    Stop Looking and Hire Dani Now!

    Since the day we hired Dani, she was more than our photographer. She became our friend, as evidenced by my maid of honor saying on our wedding day, "your photographer is like both your friend!" Since we hired she took the time to get to know us during calls and over social media. We love Dani and would hire her 1M times over, she was the best energy on our wedding day. Just to further evidence how great she is, everyone in our wedding party that was already married told us she was the best and some said they wished their photographers were more like her!

    The BEST photographer!!!!!

    Dani was amazing to work with!!! I would absolutely recommend her as your wedding photographer!! She captured our wedding day beautifully and caught so many fun, candid shots of us smiling and dancing all night! These are memories we will keep forever. She made taking our wedding photos enjoyable and painless :) She took the time to get to know us and the pictures reflect this. She returned the pictures quickly after the wedding and I received soo many compliments from family and friends about the quality / how "fun" the photos were! We can't thank her enough!!!

    The best wedding photographer!!

    Dani was absolutely incredible to work with. She was so much fun and made all our photos turn out so beautifully and naturally us! Dani also made the trip up to NYC to shoot our micro-wedding last year on our original wedding date, while our larger family gathering was postponed to 2022 due to Covid. I can't stop scrolling through our photos and smiling ear to ear!

    Unbelievable Photographer

    Dani was amazing throughout our whole wedding process and even after. I found Dani through another photographer who had been booked up, and wow- best move I ever made. She was easy to talk to and listened to every silly thing we said with full attention. Our wedding day was chaotic with a huge snowstorm and covid concerns but Dani navigated the whole day with shocking ease and made the most of our mess. I cannot recommend Dani enough and I hope that she remains a friend as well as my go to photographer for life events.

    The best!

    Dani is the absolute best! Not only was Dani so fun to be around on our wedding day, but the photos are incredible and captured our day perfectly. She also was so helpful through our whole COVID postponement and venue changes. A big thank you to Dani for making our wedding so stress-free and giving us amazing photos to remember our day for years to come.

    Dani was amazing to work with and we are so happy with our wedding photos. She was able to capture so many special moments and incredible shots. Her communication was great during the planning process and even was able to help give us recommendations on other vendors in the industry. She makes you feel super comfortable in front of the camera and most importantly, lets you just have fun. Thank you Dani for capturing our wedding!

    Amazing!

    On behalf of my husband and I, we were INCREDIBLY thankful and impressed by Dani as our wedding photographer. She did so much for us in over 2 years of planning to help make our wedding weekend the most perfect.

    Going into our engagement and starting the wedding planning process I knew that photos would be the most important thing for me and I wanted to find a photographer that was easy to work with, and would make me feel at ease on the wedding day. We can definitely say that we found the best wedding photographer on the planet. From our engagement photo session, I immediately felt relaxed and felt like we could have fun taking photos when I usually am very worried and don't feel like I photograph well. We had so much fun on our engagement shoot day that I knew the wedding would be even better, and I was right. I was in my head worrying about our first look and the weather and Dani came in like a total pro, had scouted out a bunch of photo locations, and totally put my mind at ease when she was able to command attention from the wedding party and always knew what we were doing next.

    She has such a perfect personality for working in the wedding industry and is overall a great human being. She has a phenomenal eye for photography and our wedding photos turned about amazing.

    She went ABOVE and BEYOND to make our day incredibly perfect and I know we are going to have amazing memories to look back on for the rest of our lives thanks to Dani's amazing photos.

    Our wedding day was the most perfect, magical day I could have ever imagined and large part of it was because of Dani!!

    So. Much. Fun.

    You take a ton of pictures on your wedding day so you might as well have a blast while you do it. Dani was a blast to be with. My husband and I both were slightly nervous to have our pictures taken and literally ended the night begging her to be friends with us forever. Even our bridal party commented on how much fun she was. Not only will she make you belly laugh, but will capture you and your significant other perfectly. We both agree that she will be our “forever photographer” - for future life events, family portraits, etc. Our photos are so genuinely he and I and I love them so much.

    A must hire

    Dani is probably the best decision we made for our wedding day! She is an absolute delight to work with and she will be doing all my big-life-moments photos for years to come. From the initial call, we could tell she had an amazing energy and passion for what she did - and we just knew she had to be a part of our wedding. She made both myself and my fiancé super comfortable for our engagement photos and took the time to get to know us, and that made our day (and photos) turn out better than we could've dreamed! Our entire wedding party commented how great and fun she was. Our pictures - from the details, to wedding party, to couples, to reception photos - she captured all the moments we wanted to remember. On time, responsive, fun, and a master at what she does - I could not recommend Dani enough!!!. We love Dani!

    The Perfect Wedding Photographer

    When we were looking for wedding photographers, Dani came recommended but immediately stood out for her style, flexibility, and great attitude towards working with couples. Together, these attributes made a huge difference once Covid-19 hit, and Dani went above and beyond to perfectly capture our wedding day. Working with her second photographer Terri, Dani got amazing shots that captured the love shared between us, our family, and our friends - all while making everyone laugh and keeping us relaxed throughout our big day! Would 100% recommend Dani for any wedding - she's the best!
