Day 1

literally nothing I would change about my photography experience. Booking Day 1 for my wedding was the best vendor related decision I made.

ielle. She emphasized engagement pictures as a time to get to comfortable with each other, get to know her, and get used to being in front of the camera. For the boudoir photos, she emphasized feeling good and having confidence leading up to your big day and having that little something extra for your gifts to the groom. We had many conversations via phone and email leading up to the big day so that Danielle could understand what I envisioned for my big day and so we had the details down. I wanted numerous large group photos and she helped squeeze them all in even though we did the ceremony-cocktail hour-reception all one after another! She was hands down one of the best vendors we had for our big day. She was on task, knew where to go and what to do, and made us feel comfortable that our big day was being captured. She even came up at the end of the night to say she had 10 minutes left and asked if I wanted any other shots. I asked if we could impromptu take a picture of everyone at the wedding on the dance floor. She immediately went over to the DJ, had him make the announcement, got up on a chair on the risers with our head table and snagged some priceless photos of our entire wedding. She is truly a professional that will help to execute your vision for your wedding photography. I was pleased with every interaction, but absolutely speechless at the quality of photos we received back! I also love that I received all of our pictures, but can go back to her to help craft photo books to give as gifts for the families. Thanks again Danielle for all of your hard work on our big day!

le over the years for many other events and projects and has always been very happy with her work. There was no doubt that we would use her to take our engagement photos. After we decided on a date to take our photos, Tony and I, came up with some ideas for our photos. We wanted to discuss them with her in person and she agreed. She was very open to our suggestions and she too had some great ideas! We appreciated her taking the time to meet with us because we were able to come up with a game plan for our photo shoot. We were able to go to 7 different areas in 3 hours and used every second we had until the sun disappeared. Needless to say, Danielle was very patient and receptive to what we wanted for our photos. Our photos were taken in 3 popular areas of StL; CWE, Forest Park, and the Groove. However, you wouldn’t recognize these areas in the pics she took of us because she is just that good! She took soooooooo may beautiful pics and utilized everything she could from the unique surroundings she found with her trained eyes, fall foliage, and the sunset! I was nervous about the photo shoot because I had never done one before and I wanted the pics to be perfect. Danielle told me not to worry because she would direct us on where to stand, how to pose, and basically what to do throughout the entire 3 hours. She made it so easy for us and we appreciated that! We loved our engagement pictures so much that we decided to display a couple at time on Facebook over time instead of all at once then, done. We want to keep on enjoying the pics slowly over time. We also used a few of them to make our Christmas card which family and friends loved! The two common questions were “ where were these taken” and “who took these?” The best compliment was “this photo belongs on the cover of a magazine!” One of my favorite Christmas gifts was from Danielle. We received a package in the mail from her. She sent us a personalized tree ornament with two of our favorite engagement pics! It was such a pleasant surprise and just filled my heart with joy when I saw it! That was very thoughtful of her and such a great gift! I highly recommend Danielle as your future engagement/ wedding photographer. She is very easy to work with, passionate about photography which means she will capture your very special moments perfectly, open to your ideas, educated, skilled, and experienced in photography, creative and of course very talented! We are happy with our engagement photos and plan to use her for our future wedding!
