About

We not a regular photographer, we're a cool photographer.

My approach to photography is light and simple; it relies on the realness of moments and expert level timing (and a bunch of technical stuff) but most importantly, building trusting relationships with my clients is foundational to photographing them authentically. Nothing that feels ick, no forcing smiles or poses, just capturing you as you are.

On your wedding day, I'm your shadow. I'll always be actively looking for unique ways to capture story moments, tie in details to the action, and interact with guests to make sure you get a glimpse of the day you didn't see all of. I'll keep us on time, keep our spirits up, and advocate for you to have moments to yourself to really soak in the day before its over too fast. The thing about weddings is they are so unbelievably beautiful, but they fly by, and that's why my job is so important to me, because it's important to you. I hope to build lifelong relationships with my clients to consistently photograph their milestones and celebrations over the years, and provide them with a cohesive collection of memories to cherish and pass on to future generations. But it starts here.

Danyell is so wonderful.

In September 2022, Danyell was my wedding photographer. She made the whole wedding photography experience so easy and stress-free. She was prompt, extremely professional, and worked well around the crowds, vendors, etc. she got so many great shots of the details and anticipated so many aspects of the wedding that I had been to frazzled to think of. We love how the photo edits came out too! She is so wonderful and I would recommend her to any and everyone.

Professional, prompt, respectful, my guest and I LOVED her.

In 4/2022 Danyell was my wedding photographer. She was amazing! My guests loved that she was so involved with the wedding. She was very stealthy taking pictures. Captured every great moment. I highly recommend her. Price was very reasonable, and pictures were back to us in a timely manner!

Danyell was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was extremely professional and she has such a bright, energetic demeanor. She was a joy to be around on my wedding day. She also really cares about creating the best video footage and I’m so happy that she was the videographer for my wedding. I will cherish the video that she made forever.

Danyell photographed our engagement photos and we were sooo thrilled with how they came out. We scheduled a shoot completely last minute and had to fight for daylight but Danyell was so flexible and fun to work with that there was absolutely no stress involved! We even brought our young dog with us to be in some photos and Dany did a phenomenal job at capturing all of our personalities. I especially love the candid shots she got throughout the shoot. I would highly recommend Dany for any type of photography, she was so much fun to work with!

Danyll's professionalism & attention to detail only begins to describe her artistic approach during our special venue, our 25th Wedding Anniversary Ball. Her heart & soul describes the rest. She provided high quality video & captured key photographic moments that will be cherished not only during our lifetime, but for many generations.

This person was so amazing. She took the best video of my wife and i’s wedding day! Not only was the footage great, but she was extremely professional and a pleasure to be around. My wife loved her personality, which made it very easy to act natural when someone is filming them. She got videos of things that I didn’t even get to experience myself as the groom, so watching back again was like a new experience in itself. Her prices are great for the amazing quality I received. I would recommend her for any event, photo and video. We hired her for video, but she took better pictures than the photographer we hired. Thank you Danyell! 5 stars all the way.

I was so pleased to have Danyell as my photographer/viedeographer for my weeding. She was the first one there and the last to leave (to make sure she caught every special moment). I am so pleased that I chose to have video of my wedding day as well. I told her what I envisioned my final video looking like (the short summary video) and she worked it out perfectly with my first dance song. Very pleased with all she did for my special day!

Danyell is such a pleasure to work with! She exudes professionalism with a touch of fun and has a wonderful eye for capturing the perfect composition. She will even help you capture images you didn't know you wanted. I can't wait to work with her again.
