Dana Ann Richards and the entire Dana Ann Weddings team were incredible from start to finish. From our very first conversations, Dana was thoughtful, organized, and asked such great questions that really helped us clarify our vision for the weekend. She took the time to understand what mattered most to us and made the entire process feel easy and collaborative. More than anything, Dana has such a great energy and aura to her.

When we met Dana for our engagement shoot, we immediately understood why people rave about her. She has such a calm, warm presence that instantly puts you at ease. Dana made everything feel effortless and natural, as if we’d known her for years. It honestly felt like we were just spending time together while she captured the moments.

Over the entire wedding weekend, Dana and her team captured every moment, both the big highlights and the small details that we didn’t even realize were happening. Even during moments when we were running behind schedule, Dana never made us feel stressed or rushed. She kept us calm, helped us stay present, and still made sure nothing was missed.

Dana also brought such great energy to the day. She made us laugh, smile, and even tear up at times in the best possible way. You can tell she genuinely cares about the couples she works with and wants the experience to feel special.
When we received the photos and the final video edit, we were completely blown away. It honestly exceeded anything we could have imagined. The photos are stunning and the video is beyond breathtaking. We have already had multiple guests reach out asking for Dana’s information because they were so impressed with her work.

Dana is a rare talent with an incredible eye. She seemed to anticipate moments before they even happened and captured things we never would have thought to ask for. We feel so lucky that we got to work with her and her team. We truly cannot stop looking at our photos and video.

We would recommend Dana Ann Weddings to anyone in a heartbeat. It was an amazing experience from beginning to end.

We absolutely LOVED working with Dana and Lauren at Golden Hours for our Wedding in October 2024! Throughout the entire process, Dana made us feel so comfortable and taken care of, and Lauren was great to work with as our Lead on our wedding day. She had shot our venue several times before, and had the most amazing suggestions for the space, time of year, and how to plan our photos throughout the day. Dana was able to take our ideas and turn the final product into exactly what we were looking for. We even got together in person with her and Lauren to review our shot list and inspo pictures a month before the wedding so that we wouldn’t just be meeting Lauren for the first time on our wedding day. They really were a pleasure to work with, and made the process feel fun and special for us. Highly recommend!

As a wedding planner, I value vendors who are professional, responsive, timely and a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process and on the wedding day itself, and Golden Hours Weddings was the epitome of that! I had a positive experience with GHW from the moment I reached out through the wedding day. The entire team was wonderful to work with and coordinated wedding details with me to make a seamless experience for both my couple and me (not to mention, the wedding photos and video were stunning!). It takes a village to make a wedding day become a reality, and I truly enjoyed my experience with GHW and would work with them again on any future event!

I'm a Wedding Planner and have worked with Golden Hours a few times over the years. Their team has always been wonderful to work with; always professional, organized and responsive. And the photos / videos are great! I highly recommend working with their team for both photo and video services, and hope to work with them again soon!

When you think of a fabulous wedding photographer, you think of Dana at Golden Hours Weddings. As a wedding coordinator, I've worked with many photography teams and Golden Hours blew me away. Professional, friendly, creative, communicative...honestly, they are a VIBE!!! They're so fun and easy to be around, which puts the bridal party at ease, and makes for incredible, candid photos of real moments. If you're looking for wedding photos you'll love forever and a vendor who becomes a friend, HIRE DANA!

Golden Hours/Dana Ann did a fantastic job at our wedding! They were a preferred vendor at our venue, and it was nice to work with people that have done weddings there and could offer helpful suggestions. Their entire team was so easy to work with and made the whole process simple (specifically Ashlyn and Braxton did a great job as lead photographer/videographer). I knew after the engagement shoot with Ashlyn that we definitely wanted them for the wedding - our engagement photos were absolutely beautiful. Our wedding phots turned out beautiful as well, and I was truly blown away by how AMAZING our video highlight reel turned out. They were definitely one of the pricier vendors we looked at, but I don’t regret splurging on this at all.

We LOVED working with golden hours. The pictures are stunning and they couldn’t have been nicer.

My husband and I got married April 2021 (after postponing twice due to Covid) and looking back, booking Dana and her team was the BEST decision we made. Dana was so accommodating and supportive with our date changes due to Covid. I am a graphic designer and my husband is an architect so admittedly we are quite picky when it comes to style and quality. We were looking for an editorial style for our photos, something that captured the day without feeling too staged. Dana surpassed all of our expectations and I am in awe of the gorgeous photos she captured (even with our rainy day wedding). Dana was positive, beyond helpful, and made me feel so comfortable and special on my big day! Her obvious joy for life and photography shines through her work. I could not have asked for a better experience or final product. If you are searching for a photographer, look no further than Dana and her team at Golden Hours! Thank you Dana for capturing the love and essence of our big day :)

I work with MODE Events, and one of our DJs had a wedding with Dana Lynn a few weeks ago. She was really great to work with! Especially during this strange period of Covid, being surrounded by cool vendors really makes the wedding day that much more enjoyable. Hope to work with her again soon!

We just got married yesterday and I’m already writing this review, so that’s gotta tell you something! Jesse, Lauren, and Ashlynn were so great, made us feel so comfortable and seemed genuinely excited to be a part of our day!!! It was rainy, the plans changed a million times, we were behind schedule, and more... They rolled with EVERY punch!!! I literally have no fear about how these photos will turn out because they were so on top of it all day/night!

Not to mention how flexible Dana Ann & her team were when we needed to reschedule our wedding due to covid. SO responsive and helpful. She even gave us directions and tips on how to set up zoom for our virtual guests! Amazing people all around. Thank you all so much!!!
