We worked with Dani for our July wedding and could not be happier with the entire experience! Dani was such a calm presence on the day and captured so many amazing moments, we will treasure our photos for the rest of our lives. We're so happy we chose to work with her and highly recommend Dani for anyone looking for an amazing, kind, and low-stress photographer to work with for their big day or other life milestones. Thank you so much Dani!

Dani Kato captured my husbands & my wedding day so beautifully! Her arrival, gentle directions on posing, helping with my gown, and having her there was wonderful! I highly recommend Dani not only for her amazing photography skills (those speak for themselves), but also her sweet vibe + energy! Please do not hesitate to book for the most special day of your life to just family photos- she is the best!!

Dani was our wedding photographer and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. She is so sweet, detail orientated and knows how to capture those perfect photos you dream of having...
from your wedding day. She knows how to plan the day so you get pictures with your groom/bride, wedding party and all of your loved ones. Her editing style is top tier. We are obsessed with our photos to say the least. You know your photographer crushed it when you have the hardest time picking out favorites because you love them all so much. If you get a chance to work with Dani, take it! She will make your wedding day or engagement photo shoot absolute magic. Thanks for giving us these photos that we will hold dear for a lifetime.

s a couple and what our vision was for our wedding photos. My husband and I typically do not like taking photos and were very nervous about our wedding photos. Dani is the first photographer that I have ever encountered that made me fall in love with my pictures, and so thankful it was my wedding day! She will treat every couple like family and truly grasp your vision on your big day. She is punctual, professional, and most importantly extremely nice. She made both my husband and I comfortable on our big day. We had so much fun taking pictures. We both love her and would recommend her to anyone!
