Dania shot our wedding in Oxford England. She is not only a talented artist, but she’s an incredibly sensitive and insightful soul who is exactly the type of person you want in the room capturing all these important moments. Was like she was a (quiet and perfect) member of the family (in the best way). The results were stunning to boot. But I cannot express how fantastic her (for lack of a better phrase) ‘bedside manner’ was. She helped bring out the best in us in the most natural way possible.
Highly recommend Dania!
My husband and I set out to make engagement photos (after we were married) for our anniversary. Dania captured us beautifully and the collection of photos we received were so lovely that we could barely select a favorite.
Dania made us feel comfortable and natural during the shoot, allowing us the space to have our own intimate moments which allowed us to fully experience the moment. During the pauses she would gently guide us in different positions, all felt very easy. She has a great eye for detail and capturing a special look, a moment, a detail that is unique to us – and that came through in her photos. One of our favorites was the first photo we put up on our wall when we bought our first house. The entire collection is something we will share with our family and love forever.
She is very easy to work with, communicates well, explains upfront about the process and thinks of the details that matter. She genuinely cares about her work and the people she works with, and this is evident from the moment you meet her. We continue to work with her! We recommend her to friends and family.

With over 15 years of professional experience, and most recently a seven-year tenure as a staff photographer for the Los Angeles Times, I bring a deeply honed, journalistic eye to wedding photography. My years at the Times, where I focused primarily on celebrity portraiture and lifestyle work, trained me to anticipate moments, work calmly under pressure, and tell meaningful stories with clarity and intention.
As a wedding photographer, my goal is to document your day in a way that feels honest, emotional, and timeless. I’m drawn to the laughter, the quiet glances, and the in-between moments that often pass unnoticed. My approach blends a photojournalistic sensibility with thoughtful direction when needed. I move fluidly between gentle guidance and stepping back when moments are unfolding naturally.
The result is a collection of images that balance soulful, styled portraits with spontaneous, unscripted moments. My work carries an editorial and romantic aesthetic while remaining grounded in authenticity, allowing beauty and real emotion to coexist effortlessly.
You can expect my presence to be calm, intentional, and unobtrusive. Dania Maxwell Photography is a wedding photographer based in Los Angeles, California.
