    Engagement photos

    Dana was amazing for our engagement photos. We can't wait for her to photograph our wedding as well! We had never had pictures taken together and she made the experience fun and easy.

    SO impressed with Dana Marie Photography!

    We booked Dana Marie Photography for our October 2023 wedding at the Ocean Pines Yacht Club. We had our initial meeting with her about a year before our wedding date and we knew right off the bat that she was the photographer for us. It was an added bonus that our engagement photo session was included in our package!

    We were so impressed by not only the quality of her work, but the promptness of her response to emails and getting our hundreds of photos back to us. We don’t know how she has time for it all!

    Dana helped us arrange a timeline for our wedding day; everything from getting ready, our first look, to sunset photos, not a detail was missed. She and her husband Joe were amazing to work with and we hope to work with them again in the future!

    Dana Marie Photography is a top notch photographer as well as an amazing person!

    Dana was referred to me by another photographer. She was everything we were looking for and more! She's very knowledgeable about photography, artistically creative with locations and was the only photographer I spoke to that mentioned lighting and suggested timing to get the sunset photographs we requested. She's so kind and friendly as well and does her absolute best to capture the photos you request. She's very responsive to messages, which continues even after you have received your photographs. I highly recommend Dana Marie Photography for any type of portraits!

    Amazing experience

    I cannot say enough good things about working with Dana for our special day! She was an absolute dream and got all the pictures we wanted and more. If you are getting married at the beach I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.

    Dana was so easy to communicate with, very quick to respond ! On our Wedding Day she was amazing!

    So wonderful to work with! She captured out beach Wedding perfectly for the portraits we had several large group pictures & she was so helpful on getting everyone where they needed to be & got through the groups we wanted quickly! She was awesome with getting our niece & nephew both under 4 to smile or look in her direction! She stood on chairs or laid in the sand to get the best pictures! & she sent a highlight of pictures very quick & Al pictures in under 8 weeks!

    Dana is amazing

    I live in PA but decided to have my wedding at Brooklyn Meadows in Berlin. I had no idea where to start with hiring vendors. I found Dana because she shoots weddings often at the venue and loved her style. She was amazing and all my family and friends complimented on her as well. She was so easy to work with and the smiles she got out of my 18 month old daughter who is in full toddler mode is worth all the money on it’s own. My husband and I have already said that if we need family pictures we will make a trip down just to see her.

    Absolutely perfect! BOOK HER!!

    Dana was so, so, so amazing. We are so thankful we booked her for our wedding day. First and foremost, we love our photos and the way she captured the happiness and love from the day. Second, she had the best energy. You end up spending quite a bit of time with your vendors that day and she was the best (and our bridal party/families/guests thought so too). In fact I told my now husband that we have to book her again for family photos once we have babies. She was the perfect balance of organized, reliable & present, but chill enough that nothing felt interrupted or tedious. Thank you Dana for being amazing!!!

    Incredibly talented & so fun to work with!

    Where do I even begin?! Dana photographed our wedding day, and I wish I could give way more than 5 stars. She is so easy to work with, a great communicator and makes everything fun and light. Her work is unbelievable- she captured our day in a way that I don't think anyone could. We are beyond ecstatic with our photographs and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend her enough!!

    Stress free and beautiful

    Dana is by far one of the most professional respectful and beautiful people I have ever met. Dama did a great job capturing the moments I wanted for my wedding she was very patient and she took the most beautiful pictures.

    Amazing Experience

    Dana was instrumental in helping us make decisions for our small beach wedding. She explained lighting/timing and helped us pick the best time for our ceremony and pictures. She even suggested a bunch of locations for us to scope out which was SO helpful and allowed us to find out dream wedding location. She made us feel so comfortable (very shy) and turned it into a really fun experience. We couldn't have asked for a better photography team and will definitely reach out to her again for future photos!

    Breathtaking work!!!

    We decided to go with Dana for our engagement/wedding photos after numerous people recommended her. We chatted about my fiancé and I's vision for our wedding photos and decided on the best wedding package for us, which included an engagement session. We originally set a date for photos but after some thinking my fiancé and I decided to change the date. We emailed dana and she responded right away and happily changed our session date. Dana was professional and wonderful to be around while getting photos taken. She knew exactly which angles, gave us pose ideas, and we had a blast. She even checked the bug/weather report for us before we arrived! A week after our engagement session, we received a gallery of hundreds of professionally edited photos. They are STUNNING and we could not be happier. My fiancé and I are so excited to include her and have her capture our wedding in April of 2022. Thank you Dana!!!

    Dana is amazing

    I met Dana almost 2 years ago for a boudoir photo shoot and I knew then that she would be photographing my wedding. Dana is incredibly talented and I admire her hard work she puts into every single picture. I had so many people say during our wedding "your photographer is amazing" because she really took the time to learn everybody's name and face. Our wedding was April 9 and we got all of our photos back by May 6 and they to die for!!! I can't wait to have Dana photograph our newborn photos one day in the near future!

    Amazing experience

    Dana has been amazing as our Wedding Photographer. Not only is she extremely talented but she is also very understanding and gave special attention to all my thoughts. She is extremely professional and what I loved the most was the poses and angles she suggested for us that worked wonders for our Indian attire. She beautifully captured every aspect of my wedding ceremony and understood the importance of each little wedding detail. I cant express my joy after seeing the pictures its like reliving the dream. I am glad that we hired Dana. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family.

    Amazing Wedding Day Pictures!

    We Absolutely loved working with Dana. She was very prompt and responsive when we first reached out and she made it so easy to plan how we wanted our pictures taken. On our wedding day, Dana was such a calming influence as we got prepared. She was very professional and discreet and yet added just the right personal touch to the entire event. The pictures are amazing - she captured every special moment of magic. We know we will be able to relive our special day through the pictures Dana helped us create. Many thanks for a magnificent job!

    Excellent Photographer!

    Dana did a fantastic job with our special day. She and her associate were on time and the utmost professionals. She was very knowledgeable and did not mind requests from the customer. I would not hesitate to recommend or hire her for any other activity. Thanks Dana for making our special day a memorable one with the beautiful photographs.

    Absolutely amazing!

    DANA was more than I expected a Wedding photographer to be, given they do so many weddings squeezed into a very short calendar every year, and one wedding begins to look just like the other, BUT I WAS WRONG! My Wedding Barefootbeachbride wedding planner recommended her, and the hotel I used had one of Dana's Wedding Albums on display, so I saw her work--but even that album did not foretell the AMAZING work she would produce at my wedding. Her photos were out of sight, the colors were so sharp, the lighting perfect, both outdoors and indoors. Then there is the mood and ambience captured so perfectly, the story of the entire day and evening was told, beautifully, expressing the joy, happiness, and magic of the day. Dana was easy to work with, understanding, helpful, empathetic, and professional. After a couple of early phone conversations, and a couple of emails, I met her on the day of our wedding, and felt like I was meeting a friend. I can not recommend her enough--SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Now I am waiting to put my album together, and it is going to be hard to select the BEST photos, they are all so perfect.

    Incredible!!!

    Dana is INCREDIBLE and I am so happy that she was our wedding photographer!!! All of our photos turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, and she was just truly a joy to work with. Our families, wedding party members, and other guests continue to rave about Dana! She has such a calm and confident (and fun!) way of posing and directing everyone that really makes you feel like she has your back and takes the weight off your shoulders as the bride, and makes everyone feel comfortable and at ease. Dana found so many fun places to take pictures at our venue - she found one corner with some tall grasses that I never would have even noticed, and those turned out to be some of our favorite pictures! Not to mention the beach pictures, and the sunset pictures, and the family pictures, and the getting ready pictures…they are all beyond amazing :)

    All of Dana’s experience made the planning process a breeze, she was able to help us pick the package that made the most sense for us and our venue without ever trying to upsell us. Her organization and attention to detail was so helpful when it came to making our day of timeline, she laid out all of the photography for us down to the minute. Her turnaround time for our preview pictures and even our full album was so quick.

    I highly recommend Dana and plan on sending any of my family or friends looking for a photographer her way!!!
