Love, love, love my photos!

Just got a sneak peak of my photos from my wedding and I am in love with them. Danielle was so amazing and helpful with posing in photos. She was so amazing and would highly recommend her for your wedding!!

One of the best wedding decisions we made!

Danielle took our engagement and wedding photos, and was everything we could have hoped for and more! The photos were obviously gorgeous (see attached!) and matched the style that drew us to her, but she was also responsive, thoughtful, and so enjoyable to be around. The whole wedding planning process is just undeniably, inherently stressful, so any little spots of help and positive energy go a long way. Danielle was so much more than that. She checked in periodically, offered to help in any way she could, and was just a solid, fun friend through the whole journey. I would've invited her to our wedding even if she wasn't there to take the pics! Hire Danielle and you won't regret it- you'll get gorgeous pics at a great value and come out with a wonderful new friend.

Danielle is the BEST!

Danielle is great! She's very responsive and helpful and was great to be around on the wedding day. We did an extra shoot at sunrise the day prior and she was awesome in helping us coordinate it. And the pictures are fantastic! She gave us a really good mix of posed and candid so we ended up with so many great shots. I'm thrilled with our experience with Danielle and can't recommend her enough!

I couldn't be happier!

Working with Danielle is like working with a friend. We hired Danielle to shoot our wedding, which had DRASTIC changes due to COVID. From the beginning, throughout all of our interactions, Danielle was friendly, professional, and responsive. Even on our wedding day, Danielle was a calming presence. She was not intrusive and helped us capture our authentic selves. I couldn't be happier that we chose Danielle to shoot our special day.

A wonderful photography experience with a kind, caring artist

Working with Danielle was the best choice we made as we planned our wedding! One of our biggest worries for photography was feeling awkward during engagement and wedding photos, but her calm, welcoming personality made us feel so comfortable and just like we were hanging out with a sweet friend. Her vibrant photos perfectly captured the joy of celebrating with our family and friends on our wedding day. We are so grateful to have met her and will certainly be coming back to her the next time we would like to have professional photos taken.

Highly Recommend

Danielle and I met shooting a wedding together about a year before my own. She had such a easy-going personality, we vibed really well. So when I got engaged she was the first person I wanted as our photographer. She did such a great job of capturing all my favorite moments from the day without make the day all about photos. She was great at directing when she needed to for group photos and portraits, but was really good about observing and capturing us being ourselves while we partied with our closest friends and family. I loved her classic and colorful style of editing and all the thoughtful detail shots! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Fantastic!

Danielle is such a genuine, warm, lovely, kind and fun person. More adjectives could be used, but you get the gist. If you're someone who wants candid photos that capture the feeling of the day, and all the small moments that pass... she's the one for you. In addition to being able to capture those moments, she's technically very skillful and will capture beautiful shots. Beyond all of that though, she has such a lovely presence and will put you at ease and just kind of floats through your day capturing everything. She won't give you a lot of direction (unless you want that), but that's what allows you to kind of just move naturally.

All in all, we ended up taking pics in the photo booth together. That should tell you something!

Danielle has been so great to work with! You can tell her passion for photography, and loves working with people. Danielle took our bridals and wedding photos, and they turned out top notch! Worth every penny! We had some mishaps happen, and my husband hates getting his photos taken with our wedding and Danielle was super professional and still got all the photos we wanted, and they turned out beautiful.

The BEST photographer!

We had to reschedule our reception a few times due to Covid and she was so great to work with through that craziness.
She made us look amazing! Didn't need a lot of direction, but caught so many moments. Definitely worth investing in someone of Danielle's talent to capture your big day too.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
