Danielle was far and away the best choice we made for our wedding! From the first time we spoke to her, she was sweet, calming, knowledgable and so much fun. During our engagement session she was willing to try new poses and spots, but also helped guide us through every moment when we weren't as adventurous. Her timeline creation skills were incredible and she knew exactly how much time we'd need for each moment. I knew that I could always reach out if I had an idea for a pose or photo spot that I wanted to add to the list, or if I just had any other random wedding related questions. On the day of, she was an EXTREMELY calming force in the room for me, and helped keep everyone on time and relaxed. I cannot recommend Danielle enough and will absolutely be using her for any and all photography needs in the future!

Let me start by saying that Danielle Flake is one of the sweetest and kindest souls you'll ever meet. I met Danielle for the first time back in March 2014 because she was the photographer at one of my best friends weddings. She was so great! Since then, we've got to watch her work again as she has shot 2 other of our good friends weddings and every time she blows me away with how TALENTED she is! I just knew that when it was finally my turn to get married I HAD to have her. Fast forward to 2018 and I am happily engaged, Danielle was the very first vendor we booked for our October 2019 wedding. I didn't know where we were getting married or what food we would eat, but I knew I had one of the best photographers on my team!
Danielle and her husband have been photographing weddings for years and, as a bride let me tell you, you NEED an experienced photographer! She is very knowledgeable and a great multitasker. For me and my fiancé, we personally had not done many "professional" photos, so we were both a bit nervous. Danielle does a GREAT job at getting you to relax and captures AUTHENTIC smiles which believe it or not is very hard to do when you're being photographed for multiple hours on your wedding day. She shows up on time and organized which makes for SUCH a smooth process. Wedding day is chaos with all the moving parts and vendors that it could seem overwhelming, but not to Danielle. She sets up a timeline with you way in advance (and your wedding planner/coordinator if you have one) and allows plenty of time for all the vendors to do their thing and everyone to work seamlessly.
Our wedding photos turned out better than I had even imagined which is really saying something because I've seen how good she is...for years! She really takes the time to get to know you and your fiancé on a personal level and that connection allows her to capture magic through her lens. Just take a scroll through some of her galleries; her talent speaks for itself!

We are so very thankful to have hired Danielle Flake Photography for our wedding and will cherish the memories she captured forever!

Danielle is amazing. She took my senior pictures in high school, and so it was so special to have her photograph my wedding. I did a bridal portrait session with her a couple months before the wedding and it was so fun. She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and I really felt like myself in the photos. She made me laugh a lot and really helped me to relax. On our wedding day she arrived early and had a second photographer with her. They were both incredible. We had a very large bridal party and a very large family so photos had the potential to be very hectic, but she handled it wonderfully and really kept us on track. We got married on a Saturday and by Monday we had an email with a sneak peek of our pictures and they were all so beautiful!! I love that her editing style is classic and clear, not too trendy or tinted. I know that our photos are classic, and will never feel out of style. She did such an incredible job, I look forward to using her for other special life events. She is amazing!
