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.

Everything and more!

Danette was so sweet and helpful from start to finish! She knew the ins & outs of the elopement process and helped with any questions I had along the way. The photos turned out beautiful and I am so grateful I will have them to look back on and remember our special day. Couldn’t recommend enough!
