About this vendor
Dana has spent the last decade fine tuning her skill set in a variety of ways in the fashion industry. From makeup artistry to commercial wardrobe styling, she has always found herself most drawn towards photography and editing. Dana is aware that she has a unique eye and worldview, and this is the perspective that she brings to her work. She has a genuine ability to put others at ease, allowing the true nature of each photo and session to shine through. Did we mention she's a mother of twins? This girl knows how to multitask and remain cool under pressure.
Dana's approach to wedding photography is to genuinely capture the day as it unfolds. Looking for those magical moments that are happening all around us.

There are no words to describe how incredible of a person Dana is. Working with her for both our engagement and wedding day photography was hands down the best decision we made! Sh...
e exceeded all of our expectations. She is so talented and assisted us in making our day so much more special ❤️
Dana felt like a big sister through the whole process. She is with you for the most intimate parts of your wedding day, but allows you to feel vulnerable without judgement. She fel...
t like our body guard when we were tired, our biggest supporter when we were nervous, and our cheerleader while we were happy. I couldn't imagine our day without her. She is a gem of a human, and we left our wedding having gained a friend. I can't speak enough words for how much we adore her. She is seamless, yet laid back which is exactly what we needed from our photographer. We opted out of having a wedding planner, but she made sure to schedule our day and everything went off without a hitch. Dana had a way of calming us just with her presence and we can't thank her enough. 10,000/10 stars.
My husband and I were married just over a year ago and I have looked at our wedding photos at the VERY least once a month. I swear I find a new one I love every time I look. It too...
k me 8 months to finally pick one that I wanted to get framed. There are so many beautiful pictures that it was too hard to choose right away. Dana is the absolute best, makes you comfortable and beautiful. She captures people and their relationships so perfectly. She is one of those people, where you think, dang, I wish I was that cool. We went with the full package with the engagement photos and could not be happier. You will never regret choosing Dana as your photographer. I am told by people that they think our wedding photos are some of the most beautiful wedding photos they have ever seen (and they weren't at the wedding, so they are not biased). I can't say enough wonderful things about Dana. You'll want her to do your pictures for the rest of your life.
We hired Dana for our July wedding and I am so grateful and honored to have had her involved in such an important part of our wedding events. My husband is notoriously difficult in...
photos and I'm an artist myself with many opinions about visuals - I imagine we made for a challenging couple! Dana was patient, fun, and eagerly accepted all the challenges thrown her way, allowing us to totally trust her and just enjoy the day. I wanted to leave a glowing review before we even got our photos back because she was so helpful in all regards (then we got our photos and I'm even more impressed). She did an excellent job managing our timeline and keeping us on schedule, while encouraging us to really enjoy the moments together because it all moves so fast. We had a large family, a sprawling venue, and many big requests (like a last minute rehearsal dinner shoot on a boat!) and Dana handled every aspect with grace and excitement. Can't sing her praises enough and she'll absolutely be my go-to photographer again should I need someone. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dana!!
Dana is amazing! She was so much fun and was so creative. She let us be ourselves and really got to know us as a couple!
Dana is absolutely amazing! From the moment my husband and I met with her to discuss photos for our wedding, we knew we had found someone incredible who had our similar vibe; it wa...
s like catching up with an old friend.
She was very thorough during our initial meeting and all additional follow-up communication, and she was super attentive to all of our requests and what we were looking for to capture our big day... and she definitely delivered!
Her attendance at our wedding felt like family; all of our guests commented on how comfortable they felt with her, and she blended in a way that allowed her to document some of our most intimate moments. Her aesthetic, creative direction, and eye for beauty made our photographs treasures that we will look back on for the rest of our lives.
Absolutely beautiful, professional, and a truly talented individual.
Her work speaks for itself, so don't just take our word for it!
Dana is absolutely phenomenal! We hired her for our engagement photoshoot and she went above and beyond! She was a blast to hang out with during our session and truly knows how to ...
make it fun and easy to work with! We brought our puppy to the shoot as well and she was great with handling him. She made the whole session feel at ease and captured our love like no other. I definitely plan to keep Dana as my go to gal whenever I need photos of any kind done!
As two people who do not generally like having their picture taken, my husband and I agree that working with Dana was an absolute BLAST! From the get-go, she made us feel comfortab...
le and got to know us as people, not just clients — and it shows in the pictures she produced during both our engagement session and day of our wedding. Dana stuck to her timeline and her price point, and offered recommendations based on our specific needs and desires (i.e. locations when we were indecisive, a second shooter to capture what was a marathon day of events). We will be looking for excuses to work with Dana in the future — highly, highly recommend!
Oh man.. you are in for an amazing journey with Dana behind the lens! She is an absolute master of her craft and her ability to capture the purest and most vulnerable moments is ou...
t of this world. I am so in love with all of my photos.. all of them... you will not be disappointed.
Couldn't love our photos more!
Dana's attention to detail sets her apart from other photographers. Every image she captured from our wedding day was elegant, intimate, and distinctive. Dana took the time to get ...
to know Drew and me to learn what type of images we were hoping for in our wedding album, and she delivered, without compromise. All of the ephemera, beauty, and emotion were captured at its purest moments, and we were left with the most stunning images of our day. Thank you, Dana, for your passion and excellence.
