I hired Dana for both my engagement photoshoot, as well as my wedding in August 2016. Dana is amazing to work with and is incredibly talented! My husband doesn’t enjoy getting his ...
picture taken and was very worried when we went to do our engagement photos. Dana is so easy to work with and quickly took his fears away by giving great direction on posing and helping us laugh and feel comfortable! When our wedding day arrived, he was no longer worried about taking photos and was comfortable in front of the camera.
Dana is very professional, arrives on time, takes incredible photos, and really listens to our requests on moments/styles of photos we would like. Not only does Dana take great photos, but she also interacted great with our guests and we had multiple people at our wedding tell us how awesome she is.
Dana is passionate about photography and went above and beyond to make our day special! For my wedding day, I planned on having a sparkler send off at 10:50, but had only paid to have Dana stay until 9:30. Dana was staying in the area that evening and instead of calling it a night, Dana surprised us and came back to take photos of the send off!
While we haven’t gotten our wedding photos back since it was just a week ago, we did receive our engagement photos and were so happy! I highly recommend hiring Dana as a photographer for your engagement and wedding photos!
Dana was such a pleasure to work with. She has a very calm demeanor that was very helpful on what can be a stressful and hectic day. We planned our wedding long-distance so she was...
very flexible in speaking with us over the phone, setting up a short-notice meeting when we were in town and responding promptly to emails. She had knowledge of our wedding venue, a creative vision for the photography and was particularly skilled at capturing photos with excellent lighting. Most wedding are already set in a scenic place and you are already looking good in your hair and make-up, so what I think makes the difference is the ability to capture emotion during the day and using the lighting/environment to it's full advantage and beauty. This is something that seemed to come naturally to Dana! She also worked great with our wedding party, other guests and vendors. I definitely recommend her!
Dana was very friendly and pleasant to work with. She was always on time and on top of things.

e around it was like being reunited with a friend. The pictures are amazing, everyone loved her, and she is very professional.
Pictures last a lifetime, they are what we are going to remember down the road. I would recommend Dana Pleasant to anyone wanting fabulous pictures!
Dana was so nice to work with. She arrived early and was really patient when we were running late. She made us laugh and does great photos.
I can't rave enough about Dana Pleasant photography! She made my dreams come true. We had a wonderful wedding and getting to relive it through the photos is absolutely priceless!!!...
She has a gift and you would be crazy not to meet with her. She has a great blog and after browsing her blog I realized she was the photographer for me. She is a wonderful person to work with. I wouldn't have hired anyone else to take our wedding photos!!! Thanks Dana!!!!
Dana was everything you could ask for in a photographer. She was flexible, professional, communicative and FUN! Remember when you are choosing your photographer that you spend a TO...
N of time with them on the day of your wedding... perhaps more than with your groom! It's important to find someone who you will enjoy spending time with, and who understands the "vibe" you want to have on your wedding day. Dana had a plan for getting all of our before-the-ceremony shots, and had scouted out some great places near the hotel where we were getting ready. She was extremely flexible as our schedule changed throughout the day, and was super organized throughout the event about getting all of the family "posed" shots. We loved working with Dana!
We love Dana! She has been fantastic to work with. My husband and I had so much fun with her, she actually made him smile his real smile. She is so creative and does beautiful work...
. I am so glad we found her. She is such a doll. We also really enjoyed working with her partner for the day, Catherine, who had so much energy, she cracked me up. You really couldn't ask for a better photographer.
Dana was great to work with - (we also did our engagement session with her.)
She was very relaxed and fun and we got great pictures from her! And she was very accomadating with se...

Highly recommended!
Dana Pleasant is a wonderful photographer! I fell in love with Dana's photographs on her website and found myself checking her blog for new photos everyday. My wedding photos turne...
d out beautifully! She (and her second shooter) took over 1,000 photos and I'm having such a hard time deciding which ones to display. Dana was such a calming presence on the big day and has a keen eye for gorgeous backdrops.
Dana was an incredible photographer. From our engagement session to our wedding day, ever photograph she took was a gem! It was hard for us to even pick out our favorites because w...
e loved every one of them. Dana is a breeze to work with and allows you to feel comfortable as a couple in front of the camera. She has an amazing eye for landscapes and color.
Dana did an amazing job with our shooting our wedding August 7th 2010. I was looking for someone with a more artistic eye not just a point and click wedding photographer and she wa...
s perfect! Also I am not very comfortable in front of a camera but she made it really easy to be comfortable in front of her. I tend to make stange faces and blink A LOT for photos so I was really worried our pictures would not turn out because of my eyes always being closed, but Dana caught on to that and was watching me before she would take the picture. Our photos were absolutely amazing! Everyone who has seen them has raved at how wonderful they are. Also I did not have anybody the day of to keep events moving and Dana went above and beyond and helped kept things moving as I was constantly being distracted by someone or something and lost complete track of time. Dana has a great eye and I loved that engagement photos were incuded in the cost (which was a good price! I had literally went to EVERY photographers site that was in the recent issue of Seattle Bride so I was well researched!)
My husband and I shopped around a bunch because photography was the most important thing for us for our wedding. We were referred from a photographer friend who saw some photos of ...
what we liked and said, "Dana Pleasant!" We met with her and were impressed by her skill, professionalism, friendliness and competitive prices.
We couldn't be more ecstatic with the our experience with Dana and the final results! Our engagement and wedding photos are incredible and we have gotten tons of positive feedback. Dana works hard to make you feel comfortable and understand what your vision is an makes it happen. She is very relaxed an easy to be around and very flexible.
It is not possible to recommend Dana enough - we'd hire her again in an instant. She is the best!
I got married on 10/10/10 and used Dana for my wedding photography and engagement photo shoot. I love following all of her photoshoots of facebook...she has a page for her photogra...

We chose use Dana Pleasant after she was referred to us by friends. We loved Dana's laid back attitude. We originally did not want to do engagement photos - we had planned our we...
dding in under 6 months, so fitting them in was quite a task. She encouraged us to do them so that we would be comfortable with her (and the camera) for the big day. I'm sooo glad i did!! When we received our engagement photos there were so many excellent shots - beautiful lighting, wonderful expressions. We felt like she really captured the essence of us as a couple.
In addition, our wedding photography came out amazing. The lighting in the photos is gorgeous. She has an amazing eye for capturing wedding day photos that are unexpected and original. She captured everything about our special day beautifully.
