Dayna and her assistants are amazing! Having the engagement shoot as part of the overall wedding package was a great way for us to practice being in front of a camera and gave us the opportunity to get to know Dayna before our big day. Once wedding day came Dayna was professional and fun and got the most amazing shots of my husband and me as well as all of our family and friends. She’s also amazing at helping with a lot of behind the scenes activities such as pinning the veil and dress train. We love that Dayna captured our day through posed photos as well as candids. If you’re looking for a fun, down to earth photographer Crossroads Photography is the way to go. 10/10 would recommend
Dayna with Cross Roads Photography is very professional. She does what she says she will do, and although very busy (because she is so good), she answered all of my random texts and questions and scouted photoshoot locations until we found what we liked. She did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos and I have also seen her work at two other weddings where I was a guest/bridesmaid. She is very smart, good at handling the stress of wedding days, she does not make you feel self-conscious or awkward, and the pictures consistently come out stunning. We have gotten so many compliments on ours. We asked for waterfall photos and Dayna literally waded through freezing cold water in her tennis shoes and dress to find us places to pose! We also got our pictures back so quickly for both engagement and wedding. We could not be more pleased with our experience. Worth every penny. If you want a high-quality photographer that plays with light and fun perspectives and highlights nature and natural-looking poses, this is your person!

I believe the most beautiful moments can’t be forced—they need room to breathe. That’s why my approach is about more than just photographing your wedding; it’s about creating a space where you can fully feel, connect, and experience your day as it unfolds. I focus on the real, unscripted moments—the laughter, the quiet glances, the tiny details that often go unnoticed but carry the most meaning. My style blends a fine art sensibility with honest emotion, capturing your story in a way that feels timeless yet deeply personal. Each wedding is an experience I curate alongside you, honoring your personalities, your love, and the atmosphere you want to create. My goal is to craft images that don’t just show what happened, but how it felt—so years from now, you can return to them and feel it all over again.
