Best Photography Session of my life

I know the title sounds dramatic and over the top but its not an exaggeration at all. Danette made us feel so comfortable and that is quite a feat for 2 people who hate having their picture taken. She is amazing and we love her so much. She has amazing vision and knows Vegas so well. She gathered so much information on us beforehand to really capture us and it totally shows in our photos! Thank you Danette!

We made a great decision for who shot our wedding!

I am beyond thrilled at the outcome of our photos for our amazing wedding day. Danette made everyone look so great. We now have photos of a lifetime, of everyone in our family, both candid and professional. Danette was so kind the whole time, easy to work with, came up with fantastic ideas for where to pose, things to do. I truly can't imagine the outcome being any better with anyone else. We chose our wedding date based upon Danette's availability and I am glad we did. Thank you, Danette!

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! And did I mention...Amazing?!

Danette was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the moment we first talked to her to our big day, it was like talking to an old friend who really gets us :) She had excellent recommendations on locations and times and answered all of our questions. My boo and I are usually pretty awkward in pictures but Danette made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We had so much fun, which is exactly what we wanted to capture. The best part is that we feel like Danette really got us as a couple and was able to capture our essence. Our final images blew us away! They are so so beautiful...she even got the Thunderbirds in a shot!! How cool is that?! We definitely recommend Danette to anyone looking to make their day even more special.

The best vegas wedding photographer!

Danette did a beyond incredible job shooting our wedding! She worked with us to nail down our original plans, then the pandemic hit. Danette was so flexible while working with us as we finalized brand new plans to get married! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and we had sucky a great time shooting with her. The pictures she took captured our day and are so beautiful!! Too top it off - she was so affordable as well!

The best decision I ever made [besides my new husband of course ;) ]

My wedding took place on 23 September 2019. I had been speaking to Danette since 2017 when I started planning our wedding and she was amazing since day one. So helpful and understanding of any questions I had, and super responsive. Planning a wedding from over seas and mainly via email could be difficult but Danette always made it easy and seamless.

the wedding day came around so fast and Danette was perfect in every sense of the word. She was amazing, professional and so much fun to work with. She met us at the neon boneyard for our shoot and made us feel so comfortable. Our photos turned out absolutely stunning and made every photo look so natural and joyful. We couldn’t be more grateful that We found someone so talented and helpful to be our photographer on our special day. She captured our happiest moments in such a unique way so that we can look back at them forever. Thank you so much Danette.

You can’t go wrong with someone like Danette, she really knows her stuff and we can’t express how happy we are with our photos.

Exceptional photographer!

We absolutely love Danette and wish we could hang with her all the time! We're forever grateful for how comfortable Danette made us feel in front of the camera. That's coming from two people that absolutely hate having their picture taken and on a day when we were already excited and anxious Danette made us feel like professionals and a couple of part-time models. Her excitement for our style and love touch our hearts and made us laugh. Her professionalism, attention to detail, wit and banter are unmatched and as a result, the elopement photos are perfect. We can only hope we are lucky enough to run in to Danette again in the future. We feel we gained a new friend.
