When it comes to wedding photography, every photographer has their own style. Shawn & I began looking for a photographer with a photojournalist type approach, capturing natural, candid moments, but also being able to capture formal photos as w...ell. I came across Danielle's website, and knew right away I liked her style. I immediately reached out to her by email, and received a reply so quickly! Not only was her response fast, it was filled with excitement and joy, and a wish to get to know us better.
We all set a date to meet over coffee and talk some more in person, and have the chance to see some of Danielle's work in hard copy. Within seconds of meeting her, I knew, she is one of those people who just exudes joy, passion, and a total love for what they do. Her positive spirit and energy were just wonderful. And to meet her now husband, and partner, Bill as well, as also a treat - he was equally positive and a perfect match to team with.
The day of our wedding I met Danielle & Bill with big smiles and hugs, so excited for what was to come. Shawn & I decided, with Danielle's suggestion, to have a first look session prior to the start of our wedding ceremony. While I finished getting ready, Danielle photographed me, while Bill photographed Shawn doing the same. It was soon time for us to meet, for our first look session, and I was teeming with excitement and emotion! Danielle talked me through every step, keeping me calm, happy, and excited. The moment Shawn and I saw each other, I will never forget - and having that time, just the two of us, before the ceremony, was wonderful. Danielle & Bill worked with us to capture every moment, and complete our portrait session as well.
Next it was time for our ceremony, which was not nerve wracking one bit! The first look session was such a nice, intimate opportunity for us to see each other before hand, get the jitters out, and let the excitement flow for the ceremony to happen. During the course of our ceremony, and into the cocktail hour and dinner, Danielle & Bill were right there with us, and everywhere! Friends commented how nice they were as well! Being that the weather was rainy to cloudy most of the day, we had hoped for a few seconds of sunlight for some sunset shots - we had a quick moment, where the sun came out just before setting - Danielle & Bill grabbed us to run outside for some quick shots, it was amazing!
Start to finish they were amazing to work with. I feel such a love for Danielle, and would recommend her to anyone, for any type of setting or event. An absolute joy to work with !!!
With love,
Shawn & Stefy Beury
