Dani Dahl Photography

tire experience feel calm and effortless. We will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever thanks to her incredible work. I cannot recommend Dani enough!

ure forever. They were able to work seamlessly with the wedding party and vendors all day and we loved being around them! Highly recommend!

hen I received my preview and full gallery I was able to relive everything. Thank you so much Dani!

of a camera, but she captured beautiful, genuine photos that felt true to the spirit of the day. We held a small private ceremony and a reception after, and we had a tight budget. Dani was incredibly flexible and focused on what mattered most to us in the few hours of coverage we had. I’m honestly blown away by how many beautiful moments she captured in such a short amount of time. Dani’s style is really special. She has a great eye for the little moments and the in-between shots that made the photos feel full of personality and not overly posed. She used a mix of different cameras, including film, which gave the gallery a timeless, textured feel. You can tell she’s an artist who cares deeply about her craft. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer or a better experience—we’ll treasure these photos forever. Thanks, Dani!!

nly was she super professional, but her shooting style was exactly what we were looking for and she was a BLAST to shoot with! We did a very late engagement session at The Riverside & I’ve never loved a set of photos more. Dani made us feel very comfortable from the moment we walked in and took her time to get all of the shots we had dreamed of. Our reception was a few months later and she brought the same energy and comfort that we previously had with her (we eloped across the country, but 100% would’ve used her for the ceremony otherwise). Both our engagement session location & reception location had a darker/moodier setting, so I was a little nervous about photography (by anyone). Dani could not have captured the vibes more beautifully in either location. And then also killing it in the park for the peak fall season? The icing on the already perfect Dani cake? Film photography and Polaroids in our package (probably my favorite part). She’s incredible. All of our guests loved her, we love her and we can not recommend her enough! The galleries were timely and perfectly edited and her communication is top notch. I hope to be able to use Dani’s services in the future because her energy is just electric and she’s an absolute joy to be around.

e brought such an amazing energy to our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend! Book her!

r engagement shoot, you could tell she truly loves what she does. She spent so much time with us, open to going to new places and getting that perfect shot. We adored her and spending the day with her was easy and our photos came out wonderfully. On the day of, it seemed as if her and her 2nd shooter were in 6 places at once, getting us SO many photos from so many angles, I don't know how they did it. Our photos are everything we dreamed of and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I was so picky when it came to choosing vendors and I can say by far that Dani was the best choice. Don't hesitate - book her!!!

inal wedding gallery, Dani was professional, personable, enthusiastic, and fun! She spent time getting to know us as a couple and what we wanted our day to look like. She delivered on every promise and made the day go off without a hitch. She was excellent at communicating with our other vendors and our friends and family raved about Dani and how she interacted with them. Dani is a master at documenting moments in time. She is so incredibly knowledgeable in her craft and it shows. Every worry or concern we had regarding photography for our wedding day, Dani took care of it with ease. Choosing Dani as our photographer was the best decision we could have made <3.

and did so in a timeless and artistic way. I'm forever glad we found Dani on social media, because she ticks every box and then some. She's attentive, easy to work with, and so fun! My husband and I connected with her right away, as a person and with her work. She did a great job communicating with us before, during, and after the wedding. We were never late on the timeline even though it was jam packed, and guests commented on our amazing she was for carrying seven cameras on her at all times :) We got our photos in a timely manner and are absolutely obsessed with all of them. We got a great mix of beautifully artistic put-us-on-the-cover-of-Vogue portraits and authentic candids that show our and our guest's personality. We seriously couldn't be happier and look forward to recommending her to anyone who needs photos done. Thank you so much, Dani!

lent eye for framing. She captures the nuance of each moment. You can feel the timeless nostalgia from every single one of her photos. Her photography simultaneously makes you feel grounded, real and true to yourself yet somehow also like you're in a flippin magazine!! It's magic to see your vision come to life! I'm still having so much trouble picking my favorite of our wedding (and engagement) photos because there were so many we loved! When it comes to vendors, your photographer is the one person you are going spend your entire day with. On your wedding day this person will be a part of every intimate moment, both the loud and the quiet. Not only is Dani so professional and a pleasure to work with , she is also a calming presence, intuitive and above all else, kind. This is the sort of energy you want as a bride leading up to, and on the day of. It isn't easy to find.

of a mix of digital and film and were not disappointed. We are completely blown away with our pictures, both engagement and wedding sessions, and all of our friends and family feel the same! If you’re looking for a wedding photographer look no further! Truly cannot recommend enough!

eam come true. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. Her warmth, creativity, and passion for her craft shone through in every interaction. Our engagement photo session with Dani was so much fun! She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and her guidance and direction resulted in stunning photos that truly captured our love and connection. She has a knack for finding the perfect lighting and angles to create breathtaking images. On our wedding day, Dani exceeded all expectations. She arrived early, well-prepared, and full of energy, ready to capture every precious moment. From the intimate details to the grand celebrations, Dani was there to document it all with her keen eye for storytelling and her ability to capture emotion in every shot. What sets Dani apart is her incredible talent for capturing authentic moments. Looking through our wedding photos feels like reliving the day all over again. Each image is a work of art, filled with love, joy, and genuine emotion. If you're searching for a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture the magic of your love story, look no further than Dani Dahl Photography. She is a true artist, and we feel so grateful to have had her document the most important moments of our lives. Thank you, Dani, for your talent, dedication, and for giving us photos that we will cherish forever!

ng out portfolios of just about every photographer in a 150 mile radius around Madison. The combination of technical skill and artistic flair that shines from Dani's work immediately set her above the others. To our delight, her in-person presence is as great as her work. Dani is a genuinely kind person, who really connected with us in advance of the wedding. Most importantly, she made everyone feel so comfortable! We'd talked in advance about how important it was for us that folks w/ a variety of bodies and identities felt comfortable and well-represented., and Dani absolutely delivered on this. Our pictures are beautiful. To the extent that after the wedding, some of our friends bemoaned the fact that they're not engaged (or in LTR's) and thus do not have a reason to work with Dani at present. Overall, we give 1000/10 stars. Unparalleled experience working with Dani all-around.

to taken, but Dani is so laid back and great at giving direction so we felt completely comfortable in front of the camera with her from the beginning. We had an engagement session with her before our wedding which was a great test to get to know her and how she works, as well as seeing how we would feel in front of the camera with her. She is super flexible if you have a specific vision of what photos you want, but is also great at capturing the most special and candid moments on her own. It was fascinating to watch her with about 5-6 different kinds of cameras strapped around her at our wedding - at any given moment she would whip out a new one and snap a picture, and when she sent our sneak peek of about 100-200 photos 3 days (!!) after the wedding, we were absolutely stunned with how great every single one looks. We also heard so many compliments about how great she was from our bridal party and family members who had to stand through taking a bunch of photos, and now that they've all seen the photos they're thrilled with them as well! Considering Dani's talent and ability to make getting stunning photos of the most important day in someone's life seem effortless, she is well worth the price!

and everyone loved her. We received a large number of "sneak peek" beautifully edited photos very quickly after our wedding, and the full album just two months after the wedding! Many people have commented that they are the best wedding photos they've ever seen! I am a pale bride and even the photos against white buildings are vibrant and detailed, not washed out. We are also a midsize couple and we look very fit!

her availability). In seven years of dating, Danielle was the first to professionally photograph my [now] husband and I. I'm very self-conscious about being on the front side of the camera, but I felt so comfortable being photographed by Danielle. She's professional, creative, incredibly lovely (and fun!) to be around, she always made me feel beautiful, and she has dreamy documentary-style way of capturing the details and candid moments of your special day. I love her style and her package options were of great value to us – engagement session, wedding coverage, and both digital and film photography included. There's no one else I would've chosen for the job! So happy with our photos and I hope to have Danielle by our sides again for more photographic moments in the future :)

e for our wedding. We received everything back on time, and they were of exceptional quality. Highly recommend her you will love her work and work ethic!

ra lol but she was able to get my fiancé out of his shell and strutting like he was on americas next to model! She was so receptive to who we were as a couple and seamlessly guided us without being pushy or over-directive. Not to mention her personality is 10/10! I felt like we had been friends for years! And if it’s not obvious the photos are absolutely out of this world! We were completely blown away with each and every one of them. She has such a good eye and was able to capture so many emotions in our photos. I will definitely be going back to her for any other photography needs I have! Thank you Dani!!

to session and highly recommend including that in your wedding plans. Dani is so professional yet also very down-to-Earth. Whenever we felt awkward in front of the camera, she knew exactly what to say to make us feel more comfortable. We absolutely love our photos and will cherish them forever!

and her expertise put our mind at ease, as we knew we were in great hands. We can not recommend her enough! Thank you Dani!

dgeable and had amazing attention to detail. She captured so many amazing moments from our wedding day. Her communication with us was prompt and consistent. She took the time to get to know us and listen to what we wanted. Dani is very professional and we were very reassured by her process to keep our photos safe. Dani helped to make our day special! Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made when planning for our wedding.

k. The photos are absolutely stunning and she was able to capture who we are as a couple. She exceeded our expectations and I can not recommend her enough!

y of the wedding! She consistently went above & beyond to capture our wedding - she made sure we stayed on schedule and that all of the shots we wanted were captured. The photos themselves are SO BEAUTIFUL - she is a true artist! Would recommend Dani to any of my friends/family getting married! 10/10 experience.

then took care of everything. I didn't even notice her moving all over throughout the night. She was so fun to shoot with. She worked so fast to help us get back to the party, and still managed to get everyone looking great, and sent over a bunch of great sneak peek photos.

stop looking at them, as each photo makes us smile! She was fun and so easy to work with - she made us both feel very comfortable in front of the camera. With a mixture of posed and candid shots, she was able to capture each and every moment of our day beautifully. I cannot recommend Dani enough!!

ommend!

imate wedding with just our immediate families on my husband’s brother’s property. His cousin recommended Danielle and I immediately reach out once I saw her photography. She was responsive, organized and just delightful from the start. We got married in a windy, raining August Monday. We asked her if we could push back the start time to see if the weather would pass and she was extremely flexible. It eventually cleared up and she diligently photographed everything we asked for and was just as excited as we were to be at our wedding. And of course I must mention - our photos are stunning. We love every single one of them and we get SO many compliments about our photographer when we share them. I can not recommend Danielle enough. She captured our joy perfectly and she was truly a wonderful addition to the day.

red with ideas and timelines that allowed us to capture all of the photos we wanted while working within our timeframe and travel logistics. She’s professional while also being SO easy to work with. Weddings are so hectic behind the scenes and we felt so at ease and relaxed working with Danielle - and we had SO much fun I didn’t want to stop taking pictures 😀 We hired Danielle for her unique approach to wedding photography which results in genuine, candid photos that reflected who we are as a couple and the essence of our wedding! If you’re looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond and seek out the details and intimacy of your wedding look no further! She’ll capture your special day in a style that is refreshing and authentic, leaving you with lasting images that you’ll treasure for years to come.

will treasure for the rest of our lives.

eve all the photos we wanted on our wedding day. Previews of the photos were available the next day and she even put together an amazing Instagram collage I could share immediately. Engagement photos with her are a must! They exceeded our expectations and complemented our wedding photos so well. She captured the emotion of the day perfectly and gave us the joy of reliving those moments every time we open the photo album.

very easy to talk to and be around. Even after we changed our date due to Covid, she was very accommodating to our changes and we formed a wonderful, lasting relationship with her throughout the process. She listened to our wish list of shots and exceeded our expectations with the end results. The investment was 100% worth it in the long run. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone we know getting married in the future.

re very happy with her work at the wedding and loved the results of the pictures. We continue to use her for special events, year after year! We are so happy we found her, and cannot recommend her enough !

ar postponement but Danielle made it as easy as possible for us. She took soooo many pictures and kept us moving while being super flexible with the schedule. She’s relaxed, down to earth, and makes you feel great the whole time - especially important for us being so awkward in front of the camera normally! She got all the must-have shots and then some - even working in a quick pre-ceremony trip to our apartment to take pictures with our cats! We are still having so much fun going through the beautiful pictures we got back a few months ago and can’t wait to give a bunch out as Christmas presents. 10/10 would recommend!
