We hired Danielle in October of 2021. We met her and her husband at a wedding fair in Santa Clara. Her work literally caught our eye from across the banquet hall! When we got information from her husband, we found that the package we wanted was out of our budget. I was so bummed! She was having a drawing for a free engagement session so we signed up hoping we might win. Two days later, we received an email from Danielle reminding her potential clients of the promotion she was running. We had not known about the promotion, so when we looked at the packages with the updated price we found that the package we wanted was only a few hundred dollars outside of our budget! We immediately reached out to book her! We booked the Sapphire Package which included 8 hours of coverage with two photographers, a two-hour engagement session, and 11x14 print, and a 12x12 wedding album. From the moment we booked Danielle, she was nothing short of amazing! She was quick to respond to any emails we sent and worked with us diligently to make sure we had permits for all the locations we used. We did our engagement session the following March. We shot at Filoli House and at a local redwood preserve. We were a bit nervous about being in front of the camera, but her energy and fun-loving personality quickly put us at ease. The photos came out absolutely stunning! Following the engagement session, she went to work on creating a timeline for the day of. She had it completed months in advance of our wedding! We had to make multiple changes to our shot lists as we got closer to the wedding and Danielle was really accommodating. The morning of the wedding, she and her second shooter Azaria arrived at the venue to shoot the bridal party, detail shots, and first looks. They were prompt, incredibly organized, and thorough. We had planned on going to Mount Madonna for our first look photos and bridal party group shots, which led to us a running behind a bit in the timeline. But Danielle and Azaria both stayed calm and collected which helped us not be stressed. We received so many compliments on their energy, their patience and their sheer talent. It was clear these ladies had done a few weddings together! We spent a lot of time with our photographers over the course of the day and I can honestly say we had a great time! Danielle and Azaria made us laugh and forget everything else but being in the moment. If all of this wasn’t enough, her work is stunning! We haven’t received all the photos yet since its only been a short while since the wedding, but we have received a sneak peak and OMG these photos! If you want to have a great time hanging out with a vendor you can be friends with, and you want to have killer photos then Danielle is the photographer for you. She was worth every penny and in hindsight would have paid significantly more for her services, that’s how amazing she is!

Danielle was the most wonderful, professional photographer. We could not have been happier to have her at our wedding- she had such positive energy and was so professional. The final photos are STUNNING! Each is a work of art, and she puts her all into every photo. Professional, fun, kind and sincere. Those are the words I would use to describe Danielle. She also had a second photographer Courtland who was wonderful. We loved working with Danielle and could not recommend her more highly!

Danielle is a truly gifted photographer, her method as an artist and as a business owner are seamless and well executed. The final gallery we received blew us away and really showed the depths of her ability to capture the atmosphere, emotions and tiny details that make weddings such a special time. All the clichés about weddings going by fast were incredibly true, so it's remarkable that she captured moments we would've otherwise missed like details of the venue, candid interactions between friends and family, basically our worlds colliding together in such a loving space. Danielle and her assistant were punctual and their process helped the timeline of the day go smoothly. Her expertise shows she takes pride in her work and business. She was responsive right from our initial inquiry and kept in touch with us throughout the months before the wedding weekend -- we booked her services about a year from our wedding date, we recommend you book her in advance! So grateful she captured the weekend in such a beautiful timeless perspective. We'll treasure our photos forever and memories forever. You're the best, Danielle!

Danielle’s services were excellent. She helped my fiancée and I chill out and loosen up for our engagement photos. Danielle and her 2nd shooter made my wife and I look amazing throughout our wedding day. She was incredibly accommodating to us and our guests requests for certain photos. Her photos were amazing and exceeded our expectations of our big day and we will be forever grateful to her for capturing our special day so that we can relive it for the rest of our lives.

The amount of time I spent staring at the sneaks from my wedding was insane… because the photos left me in complete awe!
Danielle was absolutely incredible and made the whole day feel fun, effortless and natural! During the whole process, she checked in often and was so responsive. I had the pleasure to meet her during our mini session before the wedding, and it made me feel so comfortable and excited for the big day!
Danielle is a joy to be around and I am so in love with the photos! I can’t wait for the whole gallery 🙌🏼

Danielle was absolutely incredible! From the moment we started working together I could tell she goes above and beyond in really making sure we felt special! She sent us a care package full of wedding treats after we signed our contract which was such an amazing and personal touch. She checked in regularly and let us dictate all the photos we wanted. I don’t know how she captured the happiest day of my life so well but she did. These are the best photos I’ve ever seen. Her talent is unbeatable and she was sooooo friendly and great with the kiddos. I especially love how she shoots so well outdoors. The sunset shots from our wedding are iconic. Definitely try and work with her is she’s not booked for years out because she should be!!

Danielle has been a complete joy to have as our engagement and soon-to-be wedding photographer. I am not exaggerating when I say that I started with a list of 52 photographers and went through every single website twice and couldn't stop coming back to Danielle. Her skills at capturing light are magical, and she captures all of the joyous candid moments during the photo experience. She was extremely punctual, organized with everything planned out beforehand. She took off any stress for the engagement shoot. She literally drove 2 hours away for our dream location. Our session went way over time, but she kept doing her photo magic. Danielle just puts people and her job first and went above and beyond capturing all the places that we wanted regardless. Danielle is a people person, she is sweet, funny, and personable. I was convinced from our first conversation and her sweet thank you gift that she would be a pleasure to work with. I cannot stop looking at every single photo, we were nervous because we had never had professional photography sessions before and didn't really know what to do, she helped pose us, but also allowed for candid moments for our personality, happiness, and love to shine through. I cannot wait to have her at our wedding, and I absolutely recommend her to anyone getting married, wanting a family, baby, or couple shoot, because she is AMAZING!

I don't even know where to begin. I was so overwhelmed and stressed with how many options there were. I can honestly and wholeheartedly say, Danielle is the absolute best photographer I have come across. My fiance and I spent months looking through profiles, portfolios, the whole 9. None of them came close to the professionalism and quality of Danielle. We could not be happier with our photos! She is incredible! She was already there ready before our appointment started, had the best attitude, and had us cracking up laughing the whole time! (Which made for beautiful candids) on top of her punctuality, amazing personality, and all around greatness, she made us so comfortable! As someone who has a problem with self confidence, I have only been professionally photographed twice. The first time was for my prom (with my now fiance 😊) and now for our engagement session. I have never felt more beautiful. Not just after I received the photos but DURING the session. She just made us feel great about ourselves. Her overall attitude and positivity shows in our pictures as well as the picture quality. I honestly think if we went with anyone else, 1 we wouldn't have had nearly as much fun, 2 the pictures probably wouldn't be as high quality as hers, and 3 I think we wouldn't have been as happy or "in love" in the photos. Finally, we had a "horror themed" engagement shoot. I am very much into 80s horror and was nervous to even bring it up. We ended up doing 2 different locations, 3 outfits, our "regular" photos that will go on our save the dates and the horror ones for our close friends and mainly ourselves. She was so on board and so excited FOR us! She made us feel absolutely amazing and I'm so happy we found her! I know this is kind of a long review but if you are planning your wedding or engagement or anything and you are thinking about booking with her but you are unsure, please just book her. I promise you will not regret it. I can't put into words how thrilled we are with the results! Do yourself a favor and take some stress off of your plate and go with Danielle!
We are only getting married once so we might as well do it right! I hope whoever sees this books her. Your wedding should be a special once in a lifetime event and you deserve an amazing one in a million (or trillion) photographer to capture your magical moments!! 💖 you will have these pictures forever so please consider quality over price. I do not think she is over priced whatsoever, however I constantly come across, especially sponsored on IG or Facebook, photographers for a lower or cheaper price. All I can say is you get what you pay for. You are not just getting someone who knows how to "press a button". Photography is HARD. Not just taking the pictures but figuring out the location, lighting, having the right equipment, knowing how to edit, and not just slapping a filter over it, and so much more. Danielle is the person you want at your session or event. I have attended and worked at multiple weddings and events and having a great photographer makes all the difference. I would say the top 3 most important things you need for your wedding is your Dress, the Venue, and the Photographer... not necessarily in that order 😉 If I wore a white trash bag in a junkyard, I would bet my honeymoon that Danielle could make me look gorgeous!

Danielle is so fabulous to work with! She stuck with us for 2years through a postponed wedding due to Covid to finally capturing our magical day this April. Danielle immediately caught our attention with not only her stunning work, but her very down to earth personality. She was extremely open minded in hearing about our vision of what we wanted to capture on our wedding day. And I just have to say we are in love with the end product! We are so happy to have these beautiful memories. Thank you Danielle for being such a great partner ♥️

You will not regret booking Danielle for any and all of your special moments in your life. As all of you know, finding a good photographer for your wedding is one of the most important vendors to book. She did our engagement photos first and we knew right away we wanted her there for our wedding day! She has an eye for good poses, backdrops, etc. and we were so impressed by her professional manner. It rained all week and all morning the day of our engagement shoot and she had put together so many back-up plans and creative ways to take pictures in the rain. We got lucky and it cleared up for an hour for us, but I appreciated all of her hard work and it put my stress at bay.

Leading up to the wedding, she would check in with me, send me ideas, and she changed around the schedule so many times to accommodate our schedule. She even sent me the cutest little care package to take a bubble bath, light a candle, drink champagne, and eat chocolate to relax before the wedding. SO thoughtful and personable which (trust me!) helps with the planning process! Our wedding photos are amazing and I cried the first time I looked at them. Just seeing her do her thing on our wedding day, you can tell that she is meant to be behind that camera and is so passionate about capturing the right moments. I also received so many compliments about how professional and how natural her and her second shooter, Gabi, worked that day. So flawlessly and so flexible with the changes in schedule--we had a horrible hail storm right when the ceremony was supposed to start, and they handled it like it was nothing.

I can't wait to book Danielle for our future life events--babies, family photos, etc.
Thank you for your hard work Danielle!
