Dayna is absolutely incredible! She is so outgoing and personable, which instantly made our engagement session feel relaxed, natural, and genuinely fun. We never felt awkward in fr...
ont of the camera, and she had a way of bringing out real moments without it feeling forced. She truly makes you feel like a priority. Always quick to text back and even willing to call when needed, which meant so much during the planning process. We are obsessed with our engagement photos and couldn’t be happier with our experience.
You will NOT be disappointed if you choose Dayna as your photographer! She is dedicated to give you the most amazing experience and most magical photos! And, when I say dedicated, ...
she literally STOOD IN THE RAIN for the ENTIRE day with us. She captures every moment in the most beautiful way. Not to mention, she has the most infectious, incredible personality. When I got the first peek at our wedding photos, I definitely had tears in my eyes. I felt like I was re-living the day all over again. It takes an amazing photographer to be able to capture the emotion in every photo! Thank you so much, Dayna! 💗
Dayna Mae photography took amazing pictures. She was so easy to work with the day of the wedding.
Dayna is absolutely amazing and so talented! My fiancé and I immediately felt comfortable with her and all her pictures were everything I could dream of! She is the best at what sh...

Dayna is an absolute gem!! My fiancé reached out to her because he wanted to make sure that our engagement was beautifully captured. Dayna went above and beyond what we could have ...
ever imagined! I’m literally still staring at our photos, I can’t wait to put them on display.
Dayna has such a gift! She has the ability to tell a story through her images. And she did just that with our photos!
Dayna is a master when it comes to photography, and not just for weddings! She has a magical eye when it comes to finding the exact moment to shoot and knows how to make every pict...
ure truly special. My guests were very impressed with her professionalism while also being able to control them as we are not always an easy to work with group. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to get things done right so you don't have photographer regret! We love you Dayna and thank you for everything!! <3
Dayna entered our home when our newborn son was 11 days old. She was energetic, respectful, kind, thoughtful, and efficient. One month prior to the birth of our son, we had adopted...
an older child. The photos of our family of 5 (including our fur-baby) capture the joy my husband and I felt as new parents. These photos captured the new-ness of life and gave our older son a sense of permanence--seeing himself smiling and laughing with his adoptive family. The shoot lasted an hour, but the memories she photographed will be cherished for a lifetime.
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dayna. We have done two family photoshoots with her and had SO much fun doing them. I was very nervous about how they would turn ou...
t with our newborn shoot and 1 year old shoot with our baby, but she was absolutely amazing with her. Being a mother of her own, she made us feel so comfortable in both photoshoots and made our baby smile and laugh for her photos. I cannot wait to continue working with her in capturing the love in our family pictures. Our baby did not have an easy go with some health concerns as a newborn and Dayna really helped us forget about all of that during our shoot. She captured the magic and the love for our baby girl and we have these memories for a lifetime. I would recommend Dayna to anyone in a heart beat!
Dayna is absolutely amazing at what she does and is so fun to work with! Hiring her for our wedding was one of the very best decisions we could have made! She captured all the deta...
ils of our day and our love perfectly. Even my husband who hates getting photos taken loves working with her. When I told him that we were getting fall photos done on our upcoming trip to Maine he had an actual fit and said he refused to do photos with anyone but Dayna! And I honestly can’t blame him because she really is THAT good that we wish we could pack her up and take her on vacation with us!
Dayna was incredible as always! Dayna shot our wedding years ago and we continue to come back to her for family photos because she really is the best in the business! Even with the...
chaos of three kids and feeling like they never sat still to get a good photo, she’s able to get amazing shots that always look natural and bring out the best of each family member. Her attention to detail and adorable back drops for mini sessions are the cherry on top! We highly recommend dayna to anyone :)
Dayna was amazing to work with. Through Covid we had to reschedule our wedding multiple times and she was so accommodating and understanding. It helped take the stress of one more ...
thing off my plate. Not to mention her work is phenomenal. The photos were BEAUTIFUL. My husband is also not great about taking photos but she made him feel relaxed and comfortable to get the best shots! I would definitely recommend using DaynaMae.
I recommend Dayna to anyone and everyone that mentions they are looking for a photographer. Dayna was the best decision for our wedding and continues to be as she has captured our ...
family's story for more than 7 years now. I originally contacted Dayna for her to photograph a surprise proposal, and Dayna went above and beyond in collaborating, giving creative ideas, helping me setup, and capturing all of the details. Choosing Dayna is a decision we will never regret, as she is always able to easily help us relax and laugh. Dayna is all about the details and we continue to book her sessions every year to have her capture our story. My wife can get stressed being in front of the camera, but I always tell her that we have the easy part and just need to show up, Dayna does all of the work and always makes it fun. Dayna has a warmness about her that instantly makes people relax. Dayna never disappoints, and always amazes us with what she is able to photograph. We never feel posed or fake, but with Dayna's gentle guidance and constantly laughing. She is truly gifted.
Dayna really makes you feel like she has everything under control on your wedding day. She knocked out our family portraits in record time and did a great job capturing the feeling...
of the day. She is truly an expert wedding photographer and we loved working with her every step of the way. If you have any doubts about booking her just checkout her facebook page or ask her for sample sets!
Dayna is THE most wonderful photographer you could ever ask for on your wedding day! First, she is just a wonderful, fun person inside and out! She makes you feel so comfortable an...
d clearly cares so deeply for you and your wedding day. It's like she's in your family. Second, she sets up a schedule for the day, so you have an idea of what photos are happening when and can have a stress-free day just enjoying everyone's company. Even with the schedule, she's super flexible, working around different guests' availability and weather concerns, all while still getting you the photos you really want. Third, she just takes absolutely amazing photos! I'm seriously not certain how she captures the moments and feelings as she does, but just looking at the photos takes me right back to the day. We really, really appreciate everything she has done for our new family and could not be more grateful to her!
Dayna was the photographer for our wedding...one of the best decisions we made! Both my husband and I are nervous in front of the camera...but Dayna’s amazing personality made us f...
eel so relaxed! She is an absolute pro...and her creativity is absolutely the best! We highly recommend her!!
Dayna was our photographer for our wedding (and engagement pics) over six years ago. I have told so many people.. hiring Dayna was by far the best decision/ investment I made for m...
y wedding (I guess picking my Husband was up there too ;)) I still absolutely treasure my photos ( and I hate pictures of myself). They truly bring me back to remember all the special little details of one of the best days of my life.
Daynas work is, in a single word, magical. She seemed to capture all of the best parts of our day, of us, and looking at them, you can feel what we felt. And, she made me feel, and look, beautiful. She captured our best angles, best smiles, and had us laughing out-loud constantly.
She is such a pleasure to work with, she enriched the day with her enthusiasm and sweetness. One of my favorite memories from my wedding was my husband and I “sneaking away” (with Dayna for some photos). It was the only time we were able to be just the two of us (and we had those moments captured beautifully to treasure forever)!
Dayna was a excellent photographer for our wedding. She made it fun, stress-free, and very enjoyable. We love the photographs that she took and are amazed at all of the special m...
oments that she was able to capture.
Dayna is a wonderful photographer! You’d be luck to have her for your wedding. First of all an amazing person. She’s great to work with, makes you feel comfortable, and is exceptio...
nal with children. She shot our wedding photos and we keep going back to her for family photos and more! She has a unique style in capturing those precious moments without you feeling like she’s in your face. She took so many gorgeous photos that we love to look at over and over and have all over our home! She’s the best around!
Dayna made our wedding so special! The professional, caring treatment we received was unparalleled and something we hadn't seen before from a wedding photographer. I'd recommend Da...

Dayna Mae Photography was the best decision I made for my wedding day, I should say second-as my husband was the best!
Dayna may start out as your employee, but she will become you...
r friend. And that personal touch is what makes her the best choice for you on your big day. She can capture & preserve all the feelings & emotions into beautiful memories & keepsakes. Memories & keepsakes you will want to pass down generation after generation. Dayna's attention to detail & her creativity coupled with her skill set amazing.
The wedding packages she offers are reasonably & competitively priced & she will help you find the best fit for you. She is receptive & open to any suggestions, prompt with delivering her products, on time, kind & courteous.

I was lucky enough to meet Dayna by chance. I had already booked a photographer for our winter wedding but was not thrilled with the result of our engagement photos. My fiancé and ...
I were flipping through photo books at our venue and I was blown away by the photos. The books were all by Dayna Mae Photography. After contacting her and meeting with her it turned out she was a winter bride at the same venue. MEANT TO BE. She offered to do another set of engagement photographs for us. I wanted them at a place special to my fiancé and I. I had a place in mind but didn’t think it was an option. Dayna insisted I give them a call, so I did and they allowed us to have our photos done there. 😀 It was a tourist location so we had lots of “background noise” and my fiancé HATES having his picture taken. So to say the least Dayna had her work cut out for her. They were EPIC. Constantly we get asked about them. She is an artist, she captured our love for each other, captured moments I’ll never forget. All that and it’s still 17 days until wedding day. :) Book her, you’ll never regret it.
Dayna is beyond amazing! Every photo she takes is outstanding! She captures the moments one would miss if they weren't paying attention.
Dayna is not just a photographer, she truly is an artist! She has that “gift” of documenting special moments from unique perspectives, using light, shadows, reflections and other e...
lements to breathe life into every picture.
She is incredibly sweet, fun, creative, super friendly always smiling and professional at the same time. She made me feel totally comfortable in front of the camera.
Dayna’s unique eye captures beautiful and fresh images that exemplify the emotion of the moment. Not only is she excellent at devising impeccably composed formal photos but also catches those spontaneous, goofy moments. She is helpful throughout the process and quick with sharing my images! Dayna is incredible and I highly and full-heartedly recommend her for all of your photography needs.
Hiring Dayna in 2015 has led to a 3 year ongoing connection with not only a super talented photographer and artist but a great person with a wonderful personality! From our engagem...
ent photos at the Dexter Cider Mill and our wedding photos at Waldenwoods, then our family photos with our baby girl and our welcome home photos when our son finally came home from the NICU and most recently our Christmas pajama mini session....Dayna Mae has rocked! Her work is amazing and her heart is huge! We would gladly recommend her to document any occasion and welcome her openly to your home as she is not only very professional but a joy to work with. So glad we found her album of work at Waldenwoods as is has led to a great connection! Much love, The Nagys
Dayna has done our ( up north ) engagement photos, wedding, maternity, newborn, 1st birthday and two years of Christmas pj sessions .. AND NAILED ALL OF THEM.
She is an hour drive...
for us but WELL worth it. She makes everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Dogs included!
Her photos are priceless and BEYOND AMAZING !! She feels like part of our family.
I.LOVE.DAYNA!
There isn’t another photographer like her, I promise! Dayna isn’t just a photographer she is a feelings catcher like she advertises! She captured my wedding and my ...
engagement session, and I couldn’t imagine a better person for the job! My fiancé always claims he feels awkward in front of the camera and Dayna has a personality that is outgoing and fun and she brings the best out of whoever is in front of her. When I booked dayna for my wedding, I found a photographer that will capture all my must have moments from here on! I promise you won’t ever regret having her apart of any moment you want documented!
Dayna is amazingly talented! We met and originally worked with her 10yrs ago. We’ve worked with her multiple times and recommend her regularly. She even traveled with my sister for...

essions, which was freezing, she made us laugh so hard our cheeks were literally sore and the photos were outstanding. She worked with us throughout the wedding planing process to keep us on track and remind us to enjoy the process! The wedding day was nothing short of magical. She captured so many moments that I never would have thought of. She is absolutely fantastic and you will not regret allowing Dayna to be a part of your day!!
Simply amazing! From start to finish she was professional, thoughtful and oh so talented. She really cares about her clients and is engaged in the whole process. Her passion and de...
dication to her art is obvious! On our wedding day Dayna was more than just a photographer, she was a calming voice who on more than one occasion took my hand & reminded me to breath & that everything was ok. She made my husband, bridal party & I all feel comfortable and the process fun. Our photographs are everything I could hope for and more! Dayna is a great choice and I would recommend her to anyone who wants beautiful images of their wedding that capture the feelings and excitement of the day.
Simply amazing. Best decision of our wedding planning process.
Dayna was amazing!!! Since the first day that we spoke to her, her enthusiasm about her work and what she does is so evident. She is so sweet and such a joy to work with. She reall...
y put us at ease and didn't make the picture taking awkward. She works hard at capturing all of the shots that we requested as well as the ones that she'd know we'd appreciate in the future. She did both our engagement session and our wedding day. She is phenomenal and I can't recommend her highly enough!
I found Dayna through a friend's recommendation, and I couldn't have been happier! She is so sweet and supportive, and amazing at her job. When it was raining the morning of my w...
