Dana was an absolute dream to work with as our wedding photographer, so much so that I wish we could give her more than 5 stars. From start to finish, she was incredibly pleasant, kind, and professional. She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, giving just the right amount of direction so we never felt awkward or unsure of what to do. Her efficiency and warm demeanor made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free.
We had to reschedule our wedding last year at the last minute. Dana handled everything with such kindness, grace, and flexibility - something we will always be grateful for.
We couldn’t be happier with how both our engagement and wedding photos turned out. Dana even surprised us less than a week after our wedding with some (over 200) of her favorites! Dana truly captured the spirit of our day, and we’ll cherish these memories forever. Highly recommend her to any couple looking for an incredibly talented and genuinely kind photographer!
We are so glad we chose Dana for our engagement shoot and wedding! From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. She captured every special moment beautifully—both the big ones and the candid ones. When we got our photos back, we were blown away. The quality, creativity, and emotion in every shot brought us right back to each moment. It truly felt like reliving the day all over again. These are photos we’ll treasure for a lifetime. 10/10 - Highly recommend!
We can’t recommend Dana enough as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met her, she was incredibly personable and made us feel at ease. She went above and beyond to ensure that our day was captured perfectly, and her interactions with our bridal party, friends, and family were so warm and fun. We were looking for a photographer to capture our day, and Dana truly delivers that and beyond! Our photos were so effortless, natural, fun and truly us as a couple.
The photos we received are the highest quality—she has an amazing eye for detail and composition, and she was so supportive and made us feel EXTREMELY comfortable. Dana’s professionalism is matched only by her creativity, and her assistant was equally fantastic, ensuring everything ran smoothly. If you’re looking for someone to truly capture the essence of your special day, look no further. Dana is the best!
Dana is such a talented wedding photographer! She perfectly captured the vibrant colors of Charleston, making every photo come alive with beauty. She gave us great directions, making the process so easy and enjoyable. Our couple photos were stunning—she took us to the most perfect locations, and the results are truly timeless, elegant, and beautiful. At the reception, Dana’s candid shots captured the night's fun and lively vibe. We had such a great experience!
Dana gave us the most beautiful photo memories we could have ever asked for! From our engagement photos to the wedding day, she made us look so good, feel so comfortable, and gave us one of the best gifts we could've ever asked for. Absolutely AMAZING photos! She captured so many of our wedding guests dancing, wonderful candids of everyone, and edited them to complete perfection. I would recommend Dana a million times over, she is so sweet and truly a dream to work with.
Dana is more than a photographer; she's a storyteller with a camera. From the moment we saw her portfolio, we knew that she had a gift for beautifully capturing special moments. And on our wedding day, she exceeded all expectations, delivering photos that are nothing short of extraordinary.
Dana has a remarkable ability to capture the true essence of the day—the colors, the emotions, the atmosphere—all in stunning detail. Looking through our wedding album feels like reliving every moment, every laugh, every tear, with each photo. We can really see the love and joy that filled the air.
What sets Dana apart is not just the quality of her work, but also her approach to photography. Despite the whirlwind of activity on our wedding day, Dana's warm and inviting presence made us feel completely at ease. She effortlessly blended into the day allowing us to be ourselves while she worked her magic behind the lens.
Throughout the day, Dana emphasized the importance of sticking to the timeline, ensuring that we stayed on track ... yet somehow did this without us ever feeling rushed. Her calm demeanor and reassuring presence are must have in the people you surround yourself with on your wedding day.
And the photos.... they truly speak for themselves. They're exactly what I always wanted but never knew I could actually get! Dana has a unique talent for capturing the fleeting moments and genuine emotions that make weddings so special. While making every image look gorgeous.
Booking Dana for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made, and we will be forever grateful for the memories she has preserved for us. If you're looking for a photographer who not only takes incredible photos but also brings warmth and joy to your wedding day, look no further than Dana.
Thank you, Dana, for your incredible talent, your professionalism, and your genuine attitude. Our wedding photos are treasures that we will cherish for a lifetime!
A wonderful professional and human
We loved working with Dana for our engagement shoot! Our pictures came out amazing! We had to reschedule our shoot a couple times due to weather and she was so easy going and incredibly helpful checking the weather for us days in advance to let me know in case I needed to reschedule my hair and makeup appointments. She walked us through every step of the way both before, during, and after the shoot. She sent us helpful guides beforehand to read through so that we felt prepared for the shoot. She made the shoot so fun for both me and my fiance! Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!!
Dana is AMAZING! She captured everything we wanted and more. Her work is fabulous and she seamlessly fit into the flow of our wedding day. She made us feel comfortable and calm. Her professionalism and communication were superb and I would highly recommend her to any bride or family looking for a photographer!
We were incredibly fortunate to have Dana Cubbage as our photographer for our welcome party, especially considering we reached out to her with only a couple of weeks' notice. Dana's availability and willingness to accommodate our last-minute request were a lifesaver.
During the event, Dana's photography skills were nothing short of exceptional. She captured the spirit and moments of the evening with creativity and precision. Her attention to detail and knack for candid shots added depth to the event's memories. We were thrilled with the final photos, which beautifully encapsulated the joy of the evening.
Dana's professionalism and communication were also commendable, and she made the entire process seamless, despite the short notice. Her photographs told the story of our celebration with such artistry that we'll cherish them for a lifetime.
If you're seeking a talented photographer who can work with you even on short notice, we wholeheartedly recommend Dana Cubbage. Her dedication and expertise shine through in her work, and she played a significant role in making our welcome party unforgettable.
Dana is phenomenal. I have followed her work for years. I searched for a photographer where I live in NC to take updated headshots of me for my photography business. There just wasn't a single person that had the gorgeous style Dana had. And as a photographer myself, I am super specific about the types of images I wanted for myself. Dana "got me" and we had a lot of fun together. And...I'm obsessed with my new head shots.
Dana is fun and laid back to work with. She makes you feel at ease in front of the camera to create magazine-worthy images that still feel intimate. She has a style that celebrates sunshine and color. Her quick turnaround with the images was also a great bonus.
Don't have a wedding unless Dana isn't your photographer!
I've been putting off writing this review because I cannot find the words that adequately express how amazing Dana is. She was the very first vendor I hired when I got engaged, and the best decision I could have made! When I saw her profile, I knew she would be the perfect person to capture our special day. She took our engagement pictures and my bridal portraits as well, and every single picture turned out amazing. My jaw is STILL on the floor from the wedding album, which she got to us SO fast. We got attacked by mosquitos during the wedding party portraits, and you would never know! She had the best attitude and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. You don't think about how much time you spend with your photographer throughout your engagement and on your wedding day, but let me tell you, she is THE best person for the job. She knows what she is doing, is so much fun to be around, and is truly the best hype person. She knows where to be to capture the most special moments, kept us on time, and went above and beyond her role as a photographer to ensure everything was perfect. I am "that girl" who never likes how I look in pictures and makes everyone else re-do it a million times, but she knows exactly how to make sure everyone looks their best! She exceeded all expectations and I cannot recommend her enough!
Dana was FABULOUS. I cherish our photos and I have received so many compliments on them. Not only is her work beautiful, but she is a fun and experienced photographer to work with on the day. My outdoor wedding had last-minute issues with rain showers, and I had a very large bridal party and family. Dana was calm, flexible, and supportive. She went above and beyond, and I could not imagine the day without her. 10/10 recommend hiring her!
Dana was everything we could have asked for in a photographer! I knew from the minute we started talking that she was going to be the perfect photographer for us. She makes you feel so comfortable while taking photos, makes everything so easy and seamless, and definitely reduces any stress you may have! What I love most about Dana's photos is how vibrant the colors are, she really knows how to make the landscape and colors pol. We are so fortunate that Dana was not only available to photograph our small Covid wedding on our original date, but also our rescheduled date. I can't imagine having anyone other than Dana to photograph our wedding!
We loved working with Dana! She made everything so easy and stress free, and I can't recommend her enough! We were beyond thrilled with how our photos came out! She is very professional and responds quickly. We cannot recommend her enough!
Dana is amazing! Just the right amount of communication through the months/days leading up to the wedding. On the day of, she did anything and everything I wanted of her. It was SO windy and she still managed to figure out ways to get the most beautiful photos! She was so wonderful to work with and just a joy to have around all day! She also got us our photos so quickly and we are obsessed with them! Her attention to detail is unmatched. She is worth every single penny we paid! The beautiful photos say it all!
We can not recommend Dana enough!! We truly feel blessed to have worked with such a talent! She took the time to listen to our wants and needs and executed it perfectly on our wedding day! She was incredibly organized and made our wedding day flow so smooth and even gave us our images before we even thought we would get them :) Her level of professionalism and promptness when it came to responding we valued very much. Most importantly, our photos we are still in AWE of, the way she fit the romantic/light/airy theme with the beautiful pops of color we were going for, we are very thankful! We can not recommend her enough as you truly will be in great hands -- thank you again Dana for everything!! <3
I don’t even know where to begin to tell you how amazing Dana is! From the moment I met her I felt at peace on our day! She is such a delight and captured everything beautifully! What an amazing talent she is! Moments through out our day she was there making sure everything went smoothly! And even helped me bustle my dress! Just so many little moments I will hold onto.
We’re truly grateful for her! And wish her the absolute best for her future! Five stars and more!
We had Dana for both our engagement shoot and our wedding. During both sessions she put me and my husband at ease. She gave us direction on how to pose and took the guess work out of the experience. Our wedding pictures were delivered to us much soon than we anticipated and we couldn’t be happier with the results. With Dana you have nothing to fear and are guaranteed a great experience.
From the moment I met Dana, I knew she was the perfect fit to photograph our wedding! Her positive energy is contagious and she added an extra level of fun to our wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough and we are so in love with our wedding photos!
Dana was truly a dream to work with. She captured our day better than I ever could have imagined and made it so easy along the way. She made both my husband and I feel very comfortable day of and worked with us on a schedule/timeframe, photo lists, etc. I ran a few things by her during the planning process (dress colors/schemes, lighting) and she replied with her best advice along with some photos similar to what I was trying to envision. Even after the wedding (almost 8 months now) and she's still just as responsive and professional as the day we met with her. Dana helped make our day a remarkable experience!
OH MY GOODNESS. Dana was a DREAM to work with. Not only was she friendly, funny, and accommodating - she has given us a lifetime of happiness through her pictures. I never knew my favorite people could all look so good! I highly highly recommend Dana for any and all occasions!
Dana is absolutely amazing!! My husband and I are so incredibly lucky to have had Dana as our photographer. Dana photographed several of my friends’ weddings and I knew instantly that I had to have her for my own wedding! Dana was so incredible throughout the entire process. As a top wedding photographer in Charleston, she is extremely knowledgeable and very talented. Dana was very flexible, especially when we had to change our plans one month prior to our wedding due to COVID. In an extremely stressful time, Dana helped me feel reassured with all of our unexpected changes. We had a small family ceremony on our original date and Dana and her second shooter, Sloan, were there to document all of our special moments (including our amazing First Look). Dana and Sloan were there again 5 months later for our bigger celebration
and we couldn’t have asked for anything more! We are absolutely in love with all of our engagement, elopement and wedding photos! We have received so many comments from
friends and family on how gorgeous our photos are and how talented our photographer is. Dana pays great attention to all of the details and makes her bride and groom feel comfortable
and natural in front of the camera. Our photos were ready very quickly and we were so excited to show them off! Choosing Dana to document our special day was the best decision ever!
Dana was amazing! From the initial phone call I knew she was the photographer we needed! She photographed our engagement photos, our elopement (dang COVID), and our actual wedding! She captured our special day(s)and our relationship beautifully and could not be happier with our photos! We were shocked by how fast we received our photos! Would 10/10 recommend to a friend!
I have no words to describe how wonderful Dana was as our photographer. As a photographer myself I knew I needed to choose someone I could trust completely the day of so I didn't even think about photography. Dana was literally one of the most important and best decisions I made about my wedding day. Dana's attention to detail is exceptional. Her workflow is seamless and she kept us not only on time but running early. Her team is amazing and everyone brought such happy and amazing energy to our day. I am so so in love with our photos. She kept us feeling confident and happy while taking them and it shows in our images. Now that our wedding is over our photos are the most important component to our memories of the day and I could not love ours more. I am forever grateful for finding Dana. She was the first vendor I hired after getting engaged and I couldn't recommend her more!! She is truly the best investment you can make in your wedding day.
When it comes to your wedding photos you don't want just anyone there to capture life's most important moments. You will not find a wedding photographer with as much talent, professionalism, empathy and flexibility as Dana Cubbage. Her attention to detail and focus on ensuring everything is captured perfectly is exactly what you want from your wedding photographer. Not to mention she is super fun! Being a COVID bride added a new level of stress to wedding planning and day of planning for a smaller scaled ceremony. I can say Dana took away that stress for me and was incredibly flexible and empathetic to my needs, she essentially stepped in as my day of coordinator. When sharing our wedding day photos, all our friends and family were blown away at the shots and could not get over how many amazing photos we had that it was impossible to pick favorites. What more could you ask for?
Picking a photographer is stressful... all you hear from friends and family is that “these pictures are forever”, so I did A LOT of research and Instagram deep dives plus had great guidance from my wedding planner and that’s how I found Dana. And gosh am I glad I did. She knows exactly what needs to happen to get each shot, gives easy to understand instructions and pointers, and is just a genuinely nice and easy going person (which is a MUST on a frenzy wedding day.) I used her for both bridal portraits and wedding day and every single photo is beautiful. Dana is great about getting natural, classic photos. I wanted photos that looked like “us” and not over air-brushed or unnatural, and she nailed it! She also has an entire team of wonderful people with her on wedding day, Sloane in particular is also wonderful and made all of us feel at ease. We are so in love with every photo, Dana truly captured every emotion and moment from our day, and we’re so thankful!
Dana Cubbage was wonderful! She took our engagement pictures and wedding pictures. She was great at giving lots of helpful tips and suggesting other vendors. There are not enough great things to say about her and her team!
We are so, so thankful to have found Dana as our wedding photographer! Not only did she travel to NYC to take our engagement photos, but she also photographed our COVID-friendly mini-mony in Charleston, and will be at our big postponed reception next year. Dana is SUCH a wonderful person to have around on your day (and leading up to it) - she's super fun, kind, talented, makes everything easy, and goes above and beyond to make everything perfect - whether it's personally moving floral arrangements to get the best shot, trekking across downtown NY in the rain to make sure the lighting is perfect, or connecting brides who have all been dealing with postponements and other similar issues/questions via Zoom happy hours, groups and more. And all that is not even mentioning her photos, which are stunning and truly capture the happiness of your day - joy that we could all use in 2020! Could not recommend Dana more for anything anyone is planning!!
From the get go, I knew that photography was one of the most important parts of my wedding day to me. The day only lasts the day, but the photos last forever. I wanted the same person to do my engagement photos and my wedding photos, so I started my hunt early and found Dana through my wedding planner and the internet. When I visited her website, I immediately FELL IN LOVE with her talent and her pictures and knew I HAD to have her as my photographer. Well, behind the talent is an awesome, funny, laid back wonderful woman who loves to produce photos that are absolutely brilliant. I will be the first to say that neither myself nor my husband like to be in front of the camera much, but Dana has a way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and actually making it feel natural. I always thought I would dread taking pictures on my wedding day, but I actually loved it, and that was all thanks to her. The quality of her work is unparalleled, and even that is an understatement. My guests cannot stop commenting on the vibrant, beautiful colors of the day and the great candid photos of the reception. I am so grateful to her for perfectly capturing the big (and very small) details of the day that I was not able to pause and appreciate. I can now appreciate them forever thanks to her brilliant work. The first thing you should do for your wedding and for your memories is to hire this girl as your wedding photographer - it will be the best decision you make.
Dana is, hands down, the best wedding photographer in the biz. Her work is absolutely stunning! From day one, Dana was an amazing vendor to work with. She responded to all of my emails super quickly, answered my many, many questions and made us feel really special and excited about our wedding day. With Dana, you benefit from a number of great perks - a Facebook group full of other DCW brides, her personalized vendor recommendations, a blog full of amazing advice and ideas, etc.
Through the entire planning process, I was 100% confident that Dana was the right person for the job and would deliver us amazing images. On wedding day, Dana and her crew arrived early and instantly got to work. They are all so professional and it's very clear they know what they're doing. But they are also just plain fun to have around - even my groom and his groomsmen loved hanging with Sloan! The whole team made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Neither of us are big fans of having our photos taken, and Dana and co. made us feel like models. We loved it! Dana made the process of getting all of the formal, posed photos so easy and stress-free.
We got the link to our full wedding gallery less than a month after the wedding and we are THRILLED with the photos. To say they are perfect is an understatement - they are breathtaking. So many people have randomly stopped me at work or messaged me on Facebook just to say how amazing our wedding pictures were. I truly could not recommend Dana and her team highly enough - I am so thankful we chose DCW for our day!
I cannot even put into words how talented and incredible Dana is! Living in Chicago, my husband and I were very nervous hiring someone for our Charleston wedding, but then Dana came along. We flew into town a year in advance, met her at her favorite taco joint and we knew she was the one! My family and bridal party still rave about her fun personality, she is so great and easy to work with all while still giving direction. Dana makes you feel so comfortable, even during the ugly tears! THANK GOD we listened to her and did a 1st look, it’s an emotional moment that I think every bride and groom cherishes, this is the moment Dana tells the groom to turn around and she does her thing without saying any other word, yet she makes you feel all of the good feels! Our pictures really capture every emotion, Dana and her great team follow and guide you from the beginning of the day to the very end. Dana is the best and easiest decision we’ve made!
We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Dana for both our engagement photos and wedding! She is an absolute pro with her camera, she knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable and have fun, all while paying close attention to small details in every shot. She truly cares about her couples! When we met her for our engagement photos downtown, she made sure to set the time to fit perfectly with getting the best lighting of the day for the shots. She instantly knew exactly where to go, picking out the most beautiful alleys, door steps, and street corners. Our engagement photos turned out amazing! As she knows every couple is anxious to get their photos, she is quick with return time! It was one of the best decisions to have her work with us for our engagement photos because by the time of our wedding we already knew she was going to do an outstanding job. On the morning of our wedding, Dana arrived on time and ready to go with her team of assistants. She loves all of the details and doesn't miss a single thing. One of the most important aspects of her talent is that she takes all of these stunning pictures without realizing she is right next to you. She spent the entire day by our sides from start to finish, not missing a single detail. All of our wedding party raved about her, she was funny, passionate, talented, and professional. The day of our wedding was hot so she knew that getting the pictures done in a quick time was essential! We can't thank Dana enough for capturing our memories that will last a lifetime. Dana is everything you are looking for in a photographer! If you are considering hiring Dana for your engagement shoot, do not hesitate to do so - she is the BEST in the entire industry.
We are so fortunate that we had Dana as our wedding photographer! There is something about her photography style that drew us in immediately and we knew we had to have her as our photographer. We did a couple engagement shots prior to getting married and Dana was so fun to work with. She made the whole experience so easy and relaxed. On the actual wedding day, Dana was such a blessing to us. A huge storm came through while we were suppose to be taking our first look photos and she made us feel calm. She even had an umbrella that made one of our wedding photos amazing. My friends and family all loved her too! Seriously, my friends can't stop talking about how much they liked her and the photos. My husband loved our shoots so much as well. I definitely recommend doing an engagement shoot because we felt very prepared to take photos on our wedding day. The day goes by so fast and with her experience, we got all the photos we wanted. I am so happy that we had her and her team with us on the biggest day of our lives. I cannot say enough about her!
Dana is incredibly talented, super fun to work with, and very accommodating! Dana squeezed in a newlywed portrait session for my husband and me in the middle of her busy wedding season - and we are in complete awe of the photos she took! Not only did we have a blast during our photo session, but Dana had a quick turnaround time for photos and we cannot stop looking at them! We would absolutely recommend Dana Cubbage Weddings!!
An intimate Charleston elopement with just our two adult children, a minister and a historic Charleston courtyard....all we needed was a stellar photographer and we lucked out with Dana.
Dana is a phenomenal photographer with a sharp eye and knows both how to put us all at ease and also how to capture us.
If there were 10 stars then that's how I'd really rate her.
Dana is extremely talented, and she was so much fun to work with!! Having her there felt like you were inviting a good friend to your wedding. She is so good at what she does, she made us feel more comfortable, relaxed and at ease in what could have otherwise felt like awkward/stilted moments. She is a photographer who is truly able to capture the emotions of the moment - her photographs are candid and beautiful. I really appreciated how on top of all of it Dana was, both on our wedding day and in the days and weeks leading up to it. She was almost like a photographer doubling as a coordinator because she was so prepared and professional, and had planned out the day down to the detail so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. We are not native to Charleston, so it was even more appreciated that she could navigate the venue like a pro. She was a dream to work with and we love the outstanding pictures she produced!
Booking DCW was my best decision as a Charleston bride. I can't say enough good things about Dana Cubbage and her whole team! She was extremely easy to work with and she's by far the best at what she does. She helps you to create a timeline for your entire wedding day, from getting ready to your final exit. She is not like many others in the area who charge by hour- she is there for you all day long! Her timeline takes away a ton of stress from what could be a very busy and stressful day. Our wedding party (even the groomsmen!) really appreciated how easy she was to work with. As someone who doesn't spend much time in front of the camera, she is clear and concise with her directions when it comes to posing and placement. She made my husband and I feel SO comfortable throughout every situation. I'd highly highly recommend her to any Charleston area brides!
Dana is AMAZING! We are so grateful we found Dana - she truly knows how to capture every detail of a day that goes by so quickly! Not only does she go above and beyond to capture every moment while maintaining her calming personality, she’s quick, returning clean, crisp photos within weeks after our wedding day! We cannot thank Dana enough for all she does!
There are not enough nice things to say about Dana and her team! From initial phone call- to final product, Dana was an amazing, professional and insanely talented person to work with. She was so much fun to spend the day of with as well and made us feel like pros when taking all of the pictures. Dana was so flexible, so helpful and above all took amazing shots of our day! We are so grateful she was such a huge part of this day for us and I recommend her to any one and every one. There's not enough space for me to even list all of the ways she made our wedding day even more special.
Dana and her team are absolutely incredible!! Dana came to Savannah, GA for our wedding in December, and she even came down prior to the wedding day to scout out the perfect places to shoot our first look and bridal/family photos. We really could not be more pleased with our wedding pictures, and we have received so many compliments on them! She captured the best memories and made the whole experience just wonderful!! Her prices are very reasonable and her work is flawless!! She is also super quick getting your pictures back to you! We were able to see them within a couple of weeks after the wedding, which was so fun. I promise you will not be disappointed with Dana and her team!!
I do not think I could have chosen a better wedding photographer than Dana Cubbage! Our photos were perfect! Everything from the engagement photos, bridal portraits, and wedding photos were perfection! Dana is so easy to work with and is very organized! Her attention to detail is what caught my eye when I was searching for a wedding photographer. She is the absolute best!
My friend hired Dana to shoot her wedding and raved about her experience, so when we decided to also get married in Charleston we went to her immediately to secure the date and luckily she was available. We first asked her to shoot our engagement photos and I'm so happy we did - not only did we get amazing photos to use on our save the dates and website, but it was invaluable to see how she works and she really helped my nervous now-husband get comfortable in front of the camera. He was dreading it going in and afterword said "That wasn't bad at all!" LOL.
Dana worked really well with our planner and other vendors up to and on our big day, working collaboratively to create our timeline - would say that is a huge plus for her, because it made everything seamless for us. On the day of, she and her other shooters were amazing at making everyone feel comfortable, picking out the best settings and timing. She loves dogs and she got some amazing shots of our puppy Rusty and the wedding party.
Finally - after the wedding she posted a great picture immediately (great instant gratification) and she turned around a blog post with photo highlights in a week, and the full gamut of photos in just a few weeks more. Her photo sharing and storage was also very easy to navigate.
We loved Dana both as a photographer and person - would highly recommend!
Dana Cubbage is amazing! She’s super sweet, responds quickly to emails, and is absolutely THE BEST at what she does! We’re so happy to have had her document our special day. Not only did we receive our pictures quickly, but they were unbelievably beautiful. Thank you for everything, Dana!!
Dana was so amazing!! She made the day run so smoothly and made sure to capture every single special moment. The photos are absolutely incredible- we are SOO happy that we had her with us on our big day. Thank you so much Dana!!!
Choosing Dana as our wedding photographer was the easiest decision we made throughout the entire wedding process, and one we never second guessed. After seeing Dana’s blog and her client photographs- how natural everyone looked and how bright and crisp the photographs looked, we knew Dana was our only choice. Every moment leading up to and on our big day was so seamless with Dana and her assistants. Everything ran so smoothly and was so professional due in large part to how Dana prepares you for and her presence on your wedding day. From the details to the first look to the ceremony, reception, and sparkler exit, Dana was right there with us putting us at ease and capturing the most memorable and beautiful moments that we now have to relive forever. We definitely were not used to being in front of a camera, but Dana made it so comfortable and even fun for us. Her talent, expertise, and fun/kind spirit really shine through in person and in her photographs. We could not imagine another photographer with us throughout this process capturing our day. If you’re looking to feel natural, genuine, and just like you but living out your own personal fairytale, and then have breathtaking photographs of every detail of your big day sent to you so quickly after the wedding then you will not be disappointed in Dana Cubbage Weddings!!!
Dana is amazing!! At the time my fiancé and I decided that we did not want engagement pictures so I had only spoke with Dana on the phone once and emailed back and forth a couple of times. We are not local to Charleston so I did not actually meet her until my wedding day. She was wonderful from the moment we met while my girls and I were getting ready. She is very organized and obviously knows exactly what she is doing. Dana made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and kept us laughing the whole time. Her second photographer and assistant were great too. We got our pictures back so fast and they were incredible, I am OBSESSED! We highly recommend Dana for your big day!
Dana is just the absolute best - we just loved her and her photos so much. She really made our day special and our wedding party absolutely adored her. She was so laid-back and fun and we were just blown away and how wonderful her photos were of our wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough and I wish I lived closer to Charleston so I could see her and work with her all the time!
Dana provided us with an awesome, intimate experience. We got married a few weeks ago in Charleston and our photos are absolutely gorgeous, we could not be happier with them. She took us to many different locations, each one providing a gorgeous background and gave us a wide variety for our wedding photos. She was also very responsive via email leading up to the wedding and is all around a sweet, genuine person. I would recommend Dana to anyone getting married!
Dana is so talented! Our daughter (the bride) is local to Charleston and did quite a bit of research before determining that Dana was the photographer for her. We are SO glad we made this choice --- the photos are amazing and working with Dana was a wonderful experience - she is gracious, kind, respectful and engaging. The quality of her work is phenomenal. Important to note that she also has a gift for knowing which candid pics are truly important. From the very beginning, Dana made sure that we knew what to expect and she made it clear what she needed from us in order for the wedding day to run smoothly. She also did a fabulous job with engagement photos for our bride and groom. Highly recommend Dana and her talented team!
Dana Cubbage is amazing! We used her as our photographer for our wedding a month ago and couldn't be happier with the decision. Her photographs are gorgeous - they are the most crisp, clear, vibrant photos I've ever seen. And, amazingly - I got my photos WITHIN WEEKS of the wedding! This is unheard of! I did a lot of research into photographers and chose Dana out of more than 20 photographers. Dana is wonderful to work with - she is totally on top of everything, super organized and so sweet! She has an awesome web site - check it out! Hire Dana for your event! You will be so glad you did!
Dana was seriously one of the best decisions I made for our wedding!! She was so fun, sweet and professional and came so prepared! She even brought squeakers for our dog - so she would look at the camera at just the right time! Our photos are ALL flawless! Dana and her team are amazing and I will treasure my wedding photos forever!
Dana is AMAZING! Her and her team were fantastic to work with. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and she is so sweet. Her photos are absolutely beautiful and we are so grateful that we chose her as our wedding day photographer. I cannot recommend her enough!
Dana did our wedding photos and she was amazing! She is really fun to work with and helps you relax for the camera. I just can't get over how amazing the photos turned out. My whole family just loved them! Dana and her team were punctual, friendly, understanding of the pressures of the day and captured everything we wanted to express in our wedding photos! We could not have been happier with our experience.
We could not recommend anyone more than Dana. She was actually the first vendor we booked and we couldn’t have been happier. Dana and her second shooter Emily and assistant Sloan were incredible. They maximized every moment of our day and made us feel at ease. Dana’s work is exceptional and I’d pick her to document our day again and again!
WOW. I don't even know where to begin! I knew before I even spoke with Dana that I wanted her as my wedding photographer. I mean, just take a look at all of her photos, they are absolutely incredible! After speaking with her over the phone, I was sold! She's SO sweet! We had an engagement session with her around the downtown area. I, like a lot of people, get super nervous having pictures taken of myself! My husband obviously wasn't too thrilled about the idea either, haha! We set out and it was SO fun! Seriously, she makes you feel fabulous and comfortable out there! The pictures we received were beyond gorgeous, and I couldn't wait for the wedding day photos after that! We did a first look and I had a peak at some of the photos she was taking and I was so excited. After getting them back (super quickly!!!) I know we 1000% made the right choice with Dana. She was there the entire day, documenting every little detail and all of these amazing moments. I honestly can not stop staring at our pictures and we've gotten a TON of compliments on our pictures! I keep getting emotional thinking about how these are OUR photos to have for the rest of our lives and they're so perfect! If you're searching for the BEST photographer for your wedding day -- seriously, you've found her!
Dana is one of the most talented individuals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. When we were looking for a photographer for my daughters wedding, I flipped through all the wedding magazines. Every time a particular photographers work caught my eye, it was Dana's photos. She is professional, unobtrusive, and a sheer pleasure to work with. She is responsive, punctual, and extremely willing to please.
I, (along with my daughter and now son in law), would recommend her highly.
I’ll start by saying our wedding pictures came out amazing! We are thrilled we chose Dana Cubbage to document our special day as she is extremely talented and easy to work with. Our whole day went flawlessly with Dana driving much of the timeline and organization and we absolutely love how her and her team worked with our other vendors seamlessly. Dana has a ton of experience and offered several suggestions throughout the planning process and day of that really made a difference. Dana also really took into consideration the things that were important to us and made sure to capture those photos in a tight timeframe. We would highly recommend Dana to any future couples, she will not disappoint!
Dana is INCREDIBLE! Not only are her photos stunning (which you can tell from her gallery), but she is so fun and easy to work with! Dana always responds to emails right away. She has a wonderful personality, and great sense of humor, which made our engagement photos and wedding day even better. And, Dana got our photos back to us super quick!
I decided to book Dana for my wedding a year in advance, and I'm so glad I did! When deciding on other vendors, I would ask Dana if she had ever worked with them (and she has worked with just about everyone)- I always felt like Dana would give me her honest opinion on other wedding pros. She has great taste and I loved being able to work with someone who I could completely trust. She also put me in touch with her other Charleston brides, which made for a great network of wedding idea sharing. Wedding planning can be stressful, but working with Dana was completely stress-free. I highly, highly recommend her!
Dana is fabulous! Not only are her photos beautiful, but Dana and her staff were fun to work with and an overall joy during our wedding. We live in NYC, but we will certainly go back and/or have Dana come to us so that we may work with her again!
