The best on the Cape!!!

Danielle is MY HERO, I could not recommend her more highly!

We hired her for our July wedding and did an engagement session as well. After meeting for our engagement shoot, I knew we made the right decision- Danielle made us so comfortable right away, she was so much fun to work with and captured so many great photos. She took extra time with us to ensure we got just the right lighting for our sunset shoot. She also edited the photos and got them back to us very quickly, which was so appreciated.

Our wedding day came and Danielle went SO above and beyond, I literally could not have made it through my wedding day without her. She was by far the most professional vendor we hired, and she did everything she could to make our day go smoothly, well beyond the job description of photographer. She broke out a pair of scissors to fix my floral crown when it arrived and wasn’t how I’d imagined. She ran to help my groom get ready when he didn’t know how to affix his boutonnière. She LITERALLY dug through the trash and found my engagement ring when my makeup artist accidentally threw it away moments before I needed to walk down the aisle. She is a literal angel.

Danielle’s professionalism really shined when we had a last minute crisis with our venue. Our venue coordinator had told us prior to our event that we could take our post-ceremony photos on the resort’s private beach, and when we arrived, we were met by resort staff immediately telling us to leave, that another ceremony was about to begin on the beach- they had double-booked and knew nothing of our planned photos. They offered no alternatives for where to go (with my entire family) and I was nearly in tears moments after walking down the aisle.

Danielle immediately took control of the situation, communicated with resort staff, and found another beautiful location for us to take our group photos. She joked with us and completely turned the mood around. She worked on the fly to create a whole new atmosphere for our photos, and I honestly think they turned out better than if we were on the beach as originally planned. She captured so many beautiful photos that it really made up for all of the day’s hiccups and my husband and I will only remember the many wonderful moments of the day. We will always be grateful for how she masterfully handled this situation.

In short, I would give Danielle a 100000/10. She is an incredible photographer and an even better person, so much fun to work with, and a brilliant artist.

The best experience we could ask for!

Danielle and Sarah were amazing. They worked so hard to get all the photographs we wanted (followed our list and were so organized). They are from the Cape and know how to photograph on the beach with wind/sun/salt/sand (trust a local Cape girl, not everyone knows how to deal with 30 mph wind on the beach!). They were wonderful with our 3 year old flower girl (Danielle is a teacher and it shows!). They wrangled groomsmen, chased off looky lous, and even helped clear the beach for my first look. They came up with creative photo ideas that I hadn't already "pintrested" and made sure I made the most of Chatham Bars Inn. Whatever I needed, they were there. Like she literally helped my sister and best friend bustle my dress!!!!! It was like having friends at our wedding and our family and friends kept talking about how fun they were to hang out with...I feel like that doesn't always happen. Plus two photographers was so key and having people local helped cut costs and stress. I plan to use Danielle for other photo shoots in the future. My photos are incredible and I cannot thank them enough!

Highly recommend Danielle!

Danielle and Sarah did an amazing job of capturing our wedding day. We were so excited to see all of the photos they took and they did not disappoint! They truly captured every key moment and detail throughout the day. We had a large wedding party and Danielle and Sarah both did a great job keeping everyone organized in order to get all of the photos that we’d asked for. They also made the day incredibly fun for us and kept the mood light (even when my veil almost flew into the water!). Danielle was incredibly easy to work with leading up to the big day and we enjoyed getting to know her during the first meeting together and during our engagement shoot. She truly understood what we were looking for in a photographer from the very beginning and we’re so fortunate to have had her as the person capturing our special day. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
