Danielle was an absolute joy to work with! She is such a calm presence, and was so skilled at guiding us through poses that looked great but also felt natural. She has a great eye ...
for poses, angles, and locations that will look amazing captured on film. She came recommended by our planner, and I instantly loved her romantic style, especially with her use of both film and digital.
Danielle is also a complete professional. She checked in with us regularly from the time we booked her all through the wedding planning process, and provided excellent advice on getting ready for our engagement shoot and preparing for the wedding day. If you want an entirely stress-free wedding photography experience, I cannot recommend Danielle enough!

ns of our big day. But beyond the photos, my wife and I are grateful for how Danielle just got us. She made us feel comfortable and put our needs and wants first. Danielle was a key part to making our day unforgettable. Hire her - you absolutely will not regret it.
Danielle was amazing, such a joy to work with and she is extremely talented! She made us feel comfortable, and as someone who doesn’t feel all that natural in front of the camera, ...
this was really important to us in a photographer. Her documentary style was exactly what we envisioned, she truly captured the joy of the day in a behind the scenes fashion. All the pictures feel so genuine. It’s been such a joy looking at our album, we will cherish it forever. Danielle is 10/10 highly highly recommend

Danielle was wonderful to work with! She is super professional, very sweet and easy to talk to, and organized. The communication was very easy and clear throughout the entire proce...
ss, from initial introduction emails to final photo album review!
The included engagement photoshoot was a great way to get comfortable taking photos, and gain a sense of how she works.
On the day of the wedding, she remained calm and professional, despite a hurricane hitting our city and the chaos of wedding season in full bloom/fighting for photo spots in a busy hotel lobby. Danielle was very accommodating with photo locations, and making sure she took photos where we wanted to, and of the different groups of people (family, wedding party, friends...) that we wanted.
We loved that she used a combination of film and digital camera to capture the night, and did a great job getting all the special moments and details.
Overall, had a wonderful experience working together, and would highly recommend hiring her to capture your special day!
When I first found Danielle on one of the wedding sites and viewed her website, I fell in love with her style and the way she captured the essence of the moment. Her pictures looke...
d timeless and that’s what I wanted for my special day. Meeting Danielle in person was even better, she is very kind, organized, and punctual. I knew she would be the best choice for us to capture the look and feel of our wedding day. From the time I signed the contract to the time I received my wedding pictures; Danielle was very communicative and always offered any assistance if I needed it. When I received my wedding photos from Danielle, my husband and I were blown away with how many great pictures we now have. We have so many favorite pictures. Each picture took us right back to the best day of our lives. Danielle has a gift of capturing beautiful moments. I would highly recommend Danielle for photographing any special moment in your life.
I was drawn to Danielle photo/editing style (looks like film, very natural shots) and couldn’t wait to work with her for my wedding. She was extremely professional and personal wi...
th communication leading up to the wedding, and so calm and collected the day-of event. Definitely helped me stay calm! After the wedding, she sent 3 preview photo (such a great touch!) and had full edits ready in a month (on the dot!). She also shot a bit on film, which was a lovely surprise. I was so happy with the photos and will cherish them forever. Highly recommend working with Danielle!
Danielle really came through for us for our wedding! We had a short engagement and despite the quick timeline, Danielle really made the experience special. We had a great time at o...
ur engagement session - she recommended the most beautiful location and made us feel really comfortable with what would have ordinarily been an awkward situation for a couple of shy introverts. The turnaround time for the engagement photos was so quick and they are STUNNING. The lighting was magical and we felt like she really captured our love in the photos. For the wedding itself, I was really grateful that she was so organized and professional, since I was running behind due to delays with hair. She had just 20 minutes to really quickly get some "getting ready" photos and I'm shocked at what she was able to pull off with such a short period of time (they are some of my favorite photos of the night!). The ceremony and reception photos are beautiful and I find myself often looking back through the photos and finding new favorites. I could not have asked for a better experience and give Danielle my highest rating and recommendation! I would without hesitation recommend her to my closest friends.
Working with Danielle was amazing from our first email, through the wedding day, and all the way through receiving our final gallery of photos. She helped guide us through the proc...
ess as the first vendor and was an amazing helper as we asked questions. We purchased a package that allowed us to have our engagement photoshoot with her and we would definitely recommend that to other couples. It was very helpful to get to know her in person before the big day and she just does an amazing job of bringing your vision into reality! After both the wedding and the engagement photoshoot we received a set of teaser images to post very quickly and the full gallery shorter than the timeframes she previously gave us. Danielle was extremely helpful for us as we didn't know poses to do and she does a great job of hyping you up to make you feel good throughout the day. She came to the wedding knowing our timeline from front to back and was very helpful in making sure we were where we were supposed to be throughout the great and chaotic wedding night. All in all, we would HIGHLY recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a photographer. We couldn't be happier with her work.
We hired Danielle for our wedding and could not have been more thrilled with how the photos turned out! She captured exactly what we wanted and we are so thankful for the memories ...
that we have captured in these photos. She also did a phenomenal job with our engagement photos and is so kind and professional and relatable. 10/10 recommend
