Daniele was the first vendor we booked after our venue. After perusing the images of many LA/Santa Barbara/Southern California based photographers I chose Daniele for the lightness and life reflected in her photos. Although all of the weddings on her website are uniquely beautiful, they are all captured with such warmth. I knew that this was what I wanted for our wedding photos. On the day of our wedding Daniele and her assistant, Jennifer, helped shoot my bridesmaids and me as we got ready, while her second shooter Whitney, shot my husband. All three of these ladies were a joy to work with. The majority of our wedding was family members who wanted specific pictures with us and we did not want to do a first look, which made our timeline particularly crunched. Daniele and her team were hyper efficient, dividing up family members and crossing off photos on our shot list with remarkable speed, while also giving us time to enjoy our family in each of the shots. Daniele was open to any additional photos we wanted taken and accommodated all of our requests. As a bonus, Whitney also gave us a ride up to our reception which saved us from taking a taxi, since all of our guests headed up to the cocktail hour and reception after their photos were done! These three ladies went above and beyond to capture all of our special moments and got us up to our reception in time to enjoy a good chunk of our cocktail hour, which we had not expected to be possible. We could not be more pleased to have worked with them and look forward to seeing our finished photos soon. If you’re looking for someone professional, talented, and just plain awesome to capture all the special moments on your wedding day – go with Lavender & Twine.

From booking her, Daniele was always very prompt with responding to emails and phone calls. She is incredibly professional and put everyone at the wedding at ease, and still somehow got the kids to look at the camera during formal portraits? Whaat?? Thank you Daniele!!!

Whitney's photography can take an event and infuse it with the romance of another era.
