We truly LOVED having Danielle and her team photograph and video our wedding!! If you're someone who wants more than just a photographer to make your day special and want the full experience of letting your photographers take the wheel, then Danielle is your gal! Every detail was thought of, communication is always open from day 1, not to mention her and her team were so much fun!! If they didn't have their cameras with them, you would've never known that they were hired. They made our day magical and SO EASY. We love all of our pictures and genuinely can't wait for our videos. 10000000/10 would recommend!!!

Danielle and her team were AMAZING! Best decision we made for our wedding, hands down!

I can’t express how grateful I was to have Danielle and her team for my wedding. You won’t regret having her!

I cannot say enough good things about Danielle and her team. They captured my wedding day in photos and video in a way that I will cherish forever. I have received comments that my photos look like they belong in a bridal magazine! And my video makes me tear up each time I watch it. Not to mention Danielle is incredible to work with, she makes you feel comfortable and at ease. She also did our engagement photos, which meant that on our wedding day she felt like an old friend. Please invest your money in a great photographer and videographer! At the end of the day, the photos and videos are one of the only things you get to take with you (besides your wonderful spouse). She will not disappoint!

Danielle was a pleasure to work with and very creative! We (my husband and I) were so happy and impressed by her! Our wedding ceremony pictures turned out great!

8/25/2022 • Samantha W

Danielle is wonderful! She was my personal hype woman and kept our entire day on schedule! She and her team are absolutely amazing!

My husband and I used Danielle and her team for engagement photos, wedding photos, and our wedding video. Hands down - she was the best decision we made in our wedding planning! From the start, she was very detail-oriented and helped me feel at ease while learning about the photo and video process. I loved having Danielle take our engagement photos so we could become comfortable with her and each other and learn from one another to make the most out of the actual wedding day. I was nervous that I wouldn't like the pictures because I never like pictures of myself, but Danielle is incredible at capturing you at your happiest and creating beautiful memories with her photos. While the photos came out wonderful, the video she made makes me cry with joy every time I watch it. I was very specific with the details I wanted to have in my video and Danielle made it come alive. I cannot thank her enough for capturing our wedding day and sharing with us moments we forgot or didn't get to experience on the actual day. Danielle and her team were very professional and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend them enough!

We had such an amazing experience with Danielle! She has such a kind, sweet, and bubbly personality that we were put at ease the entire time we worked with her on our wedding. She communicated very clearly with us and made sure that everyone worked out well, even when we had to postpone our wedding. Our photographs turned out awesome, and we really treasured having Danielle with us on our special day. We highly, highly recommend her!

Danielle didn’t have our date available but gave us leads to find another videographer. If she goes out of the way to help people who aren’t even customers I assume that she takes care of her own couples even better!

3/15/2020 • Leslie B

Danielle and her crew were simply amazing. They were all very professional and really helped me get through the day. The pictures and video are awesome! Danielle is super sweet and kind. We did engagement photo's as well as our wedding photos and videos with her. We couldn't be happier with the end result. When all is said and done all you have left are the pictures from your big day so these are really priceless memories that have been so beautifully captured for us. Thank you so much for all you and your team do Danielle!

Danielle saved my wedding. After an unfortunate mishap getting scammed by another photographer who turned out to be fake, I was so lucky to find Danielle and her team. Not only did her team arrive on time, but they took some of the most amazing photos and videos I've ever seen. Danielle and her team were so professional, but made us feel super comfortable the whole day. The groomsmen and bridesmaids all loved them, and the photos prove that! I would 100% recommend Danielle and her team for your wedding photography and videography needs. You will be so happy :)

I can not begin to explain how amazing Danielle was during this experience. She was able to capture moments that were beautiful. All of her photos are absolutely breath taking in addition to how amazing she is to work with. She was so calm and light during all the stress of planning. She was always so upbeat and full of laughs and smiles. She truly made the entire process easy and fun. We loved doing our engagement shoot with her and getting to know her before the big day. It made it more comfortable the day of, knowing she knew us individually and as a couple. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She truly is the best! ❤️

If there were more stars to give Danielle Durbin, I would give her all of them and more! I had to write this review before any others, because she was hands down the best vendor I had the privilege of working with for my wedding on 7/13/2019. After our first meeting, my husband and I had a great feeling about Danielle. She is one of the nicest people we’ve ever met, and we could instantly tell how passionate and organized she is. We had our engagement photos (included in our package) at our wedding venue, so she could get the lay of the land. We included our dogs in some of the pictures, and she was so patient with them! She found GORGEOUS spots to capture beautiful pictures without any recommendations. She talked us through the best ways to pose for photos, and she made us completely comfortable. After the engagement photos and into the planning phase, Danielle checked in frequently. She even sent us a Christmas card with a Starbucks gift card (so thoughtful!). She was by far our most organized vendor who stayed on top of timelines. My last meeting with Danielle before the wedding was super productive (she sure knows what she’s doing), and I had no doubts or worries going into the big day. The day of the wedding, we got really behind on the timeline (i.e. I should have been in my dress at 1:00pm, and I wasn’t in it until 2:45!). This meant there were a lot of photos we wanted to take that we weren’t given the chance to. Danielle and her team remained extremely calm and reassured me everything would be just fine! They took as many photos as they could without me being ready, and they found a way to make the timeline work. I truly don’t know if I would have kept my cool without Danielle by my side on my wedding day. Our bridal party and family also raved about Danielle and her team. Many of my friends and family said she was the best photographer any of them had ever worked with. I am extremely grateful to have found Danielle Durbin Film and Photo. She made our day perfect, and I can’t wait to see the rest of the beautiful moments her and her team captured.

Danielle Durbin Film & Photo-They were absolutely amazing. Very professional, kind, energetic, and passionate about what they do. Danielle and her team captured our best moments and made our day even more special. They laughed with us, cried with us and made us feel like their only clients. You can tell they love what they do and it shows in their work. Our photos were perfect. Great quality, quick turnaround for receiving them, and organized by event. We couldn't be more thankful to work with Danielle and her crew and will continue to use them for any future memories we want to capture. If you are looking for a photographer who is professional, knowledgeable, on time, organized, passionate and perfect....Danielle is who you want!

Danielle was very easy to work with! We didn't meet her until the day of our wedding, but our planning phone chats and back-and-forth emails helped prepare us all for a wonderful day! Most importantly - Danielle's edits are fantastic! We love every picture from our wedding day, as do our friends and family. We will cherish these photos forever!

**Long post alert I wish I could give Danielle 100 star review. For me, booking my photographer/videographer was the most stressful part of my wedding. I was so worried about finding the perfect person to capture my special day. I knew nothing about wedding planning and pushed a lot of things off bc I didn't know where to begin. Danielle's beautiful photos drew me in, but when I actually talked to her on the phone that is what sold me. Out of everyone I talked to, she had the most real and RELAXED tone about her. We talked for a significantly long time and I knew she was the person to go with. throughout my planning she would even answer my questions about other vendors and anything wedding related. 2 weeks later and I am still getting compliments on how amazing she was. if I could give advice to any future brides out there, it is to relax and surround yourself with people who want to make your day amazing. I had a few hiccups on my wedding day, family leaving the church before portraits, limo bus driving around circles at the church, etc. but Danielle took charge and handled everything and I didn't even have to worry. I even had people from my bridal party say, "wow, your photographer didn't have to do that. she is amazing." She got my family pictures at the reception and even a few "fall foliage" shots that I really wanted. she truly listens to everything you say and I couldn't have asked for a better person. I'm in love with the "sneak peak" she sent me and it's crazy how much 1 picture can tell a story about the whole day! I wish I could relive it over and over. thank you Danielle and the crew for being SO amazing!!

Danielle was amazing! I was on the fence about getting a videographer because my now husband and I are both pretty awkward and I wasn't sure I wanted that recorded! However, we hardly noticed Danielle or her assistant which really helped us to relax and act naturally. The final product was beautiful and Danielle was so sweet throughout the whole process!

9/25/2018 • Jessica G

If I could give Danielle more than 5 stars I would! Danielle and her assistant Jamie photographed my wedding this past Sunday the 23rd of September and they were nothing but amazing. Danielle is so professional and the sweetest person I've ever met and Jamie is just as professional and nice. Jamie even helped me with the clasp on my necklace that none of us could get. I can't wait to get all of my pictures back, I've already fallen in love with the "sneak peeks"!!

5/18/2018 • Rebecca M

Honestly, I was very nervous about the whole booking vendors process. I didn't know where to start or what to ask. When I met Danielle tho for the first time she really made me feel like she had my back. I am so grateful my friend recommended Danielle to me!! Throughout the whole process, she has been punctional, fun to work with, and her pictures are seriously GORGEOUS!! I love my wedding photos and I know I will cherish them forever! Thank you Danielle, I am recommending all my friends to you! Also Brendan says hi!

We as parents of the bride absolute love the video that Danielle created for our daughters wedding! It was a true work of art and I would highly recommend her talents to anyone. She did a fabulous job and she is a super nice, talented videographer. You wouldn’t be disappointed!!

11/24/2017 • Valerie J

Danielle was the best. She was a pleasure to work with , very professional, her assistant was equally nice and she provided just what we wanted. Very affordable as well!

9/05/2017 • Alexandra K

I absolutely loved working with Danielle! It's clear through her work and her relationship with clients that she adores her job, and her special role on the wedding day. She is exceptionally fast with answering texts and emails, and extremely professional working with other vendors. She captured moments in my wedding video that I forgot happened! Danielle was dedicated to making sure that everything went smoothly up to and on my wedding day. She made sure she knew who was who in my wedding party, and when the events in the reception would occur. We worked together to choose the best music possible for the video. I very much recommend choosing Your Story Films and Photography! You'll be in for a great experience :)

8/24/2017 • Kali C

Danielle did our engagement photos. My fiancé was nervous for the shoot, but from the very start Danielle made him feel right at ease and we both had so much fun working with her. She is SO sweet and passionate about what she does, and honestly made us feel so confident, like we were super models. Not to mention the pictures turned out so much more beautifully than we could have ever imagined or hoped for and we continually get compliments on them!! We are having a destination wedding, and had a photographer lined up through the resort before looking for an engagement photographer. If it weren't for the destination wedding aspect, we would want no one other than Danielle there on our big deal. I'm sure she would make anyone's special day even that much more special because of her love and passion for what she does, and also because she is such an amazing and genuine person. If I could give her 10 stars I would!

5/22/2017 • Tiffany O

Danielle does a phenomenal job taking pictures and film. She's very personable, kids just love her. She takes great pride in her work and does what she can to get the perfect shot. You will not be disappointed. I promise you!

5/18/2017 • Jennifer J

Danielle did the video for our wedding. She did a wonderful job!! She was able to capture all of our special day. She made sure to include all of our guests in the video. I would highly recommend Danielle to anyone getting married or having a special event.

5/16/2017 • Kayla F

I modeled for a boudoir photo shoot with Your Story Films & Photography. Danielle was so professional and never made me feel uncomfortable or ugly. She made me feel gorgeous!! It was very fun and I definitely want do another shoot with her in the near future!

5/16/2017 • Aubrey D

Danielle does amazing work and made me feel totally comfortable while doing my shoot. The resulting photos turned out beautifully and you can see quality, effort and artistry in every shot. I thank Danielle for making me feel beautiful and unique and I will, without a doubt, keep Your Story Films & Photography in mind for future events.

5/16/2017 • Alysha K

I love Danielle. She deserves everything she can to make sure she gets what YOU want in your videos always asking if there's anything more she can do to make it perfect for you :)

3/28/2017 • Adel F

I dont normally cry but when I saw my highlight, I was in tears. If you are thinking about a videographer, choose Danielle and your story films. She is so nice and easy to work with. She even helped me get into my dress when I was having problems. Thank you Danielle for reminding me how beautiful my wedding day was. Love Addy

3/20/2017 • Janice K

Honestly, I couldnt begin to express how much our highlight video meant to us!!! Danielle thank you so much for being so professional and understanding of what me and Richard wanted. You completely captured our day beautifully.
