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.

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 t...
he 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 an...
d 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!

n time taking them! Dayna is very attentive to detail. She even went as far as taking the time beforehand to try and find out what our “photography style” was so she could ensure they would be perfect for us. And perfect they were! We had so many complements on our engagement photos. We are absolutely in love with how they turned out! 10/10 would recommend.

From the first meeting with Dayna, we knew right away that we wanted to hire her for our wedding! Her positive, calming energy and great vision for photos was exactly what we neede...
d for our wedding. The engagement shoot photos were better than what I could have imagined. She definitely delivered the vision we wanted as an “elopement-inspired” shoot. And throughout the entire wedding process, she was only a text away to answer any questions or issues that came up. I definitely recommend her for all engaged couples looking for seamless communication, professionalism, and AMAZING photos. Wedding photos last a lifetime, so I advise to always go with the best! I’m so glad we found Dayna and I look forward to our future projects together!!
