Will & D Photography

Danielle was so sweet!! From the start of our engagement photos a year ago, to our wedding this past month, we were so excited to have her apart of our day! We felt so comfortable, and able to be ourselves and just in love with each other. Danielle captured these moments so perfectly, and the pictures came out GORGEOUS. A perfect addition to the best day!

We booked Danielle with roughly a month’s notice for our elopement. Right off the bat we were impressed by her photography, her willingness to sign on for such short notice, and for such an affordable rate. As this was for a COVID wedding, the whole plan was last minute and slightly chaotic, and Danielle still managed to capture every moment beautifully while making us feel super comfortable. She then not only stayed half an hour after we’d agreed, but also gave us three times as many photos as we were expecting. She captured every silly photo we’d had planned and really gave us amazing memories of our day we feel are true to ourselves. Truly, I can not recommend her enough. She is a lovely person who goes above and beyond.

Hiring Danielle to capture our wedding day was the best decision we could have made. We reached out to her fairly last-minute, having chosen to hold a small ceremony with our families after we were forced to postpone our larger wedding. Not only was she more than willing to work with us despite the short notice, but she made sure to get a sense for exactly what we wanted leading up to our day. Her calm demeanor and go-with-the-flow attitude made her so easy and wonderful to work with, and she was extremely flexible and generous with her time. We were blown away when we received the finished set of photos! She has a unique ability to capture the light, the environment, and all the little moments that really make an event, and each image takes us right back to the feeling of that day. Danielle was such a pleasure to work with, and her stunning photos will bring us joy for so many years to come. We couldn't recommend Will & D more highly, and can't wait to work with them again in the future!

Danielle was absolutely amazing to work with! She was super flexible to ensure we got a beautiful day for photos and her prices were awesome. She was so helpful when it came to poses and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are so pleased and would highly recommend!

Danielle and Mark are a FANTASTIC team! As friendly as they are professsional, they made the process of planning the photographic aspects of our wedding extremely easy (provided helpful/creative ideas and guidance, but were also respectul of our requests and suggestions), and made sure that we felt comfortable and natural (we were admittedly nervous about this aspect of the wedding!) while being photographed on the actual day of. Danielle spent the earlier part of the wedding day photographing me with friends and family/getting ready at my parents house, and was a total trooper about riding along with us on my dad's boat from the Newport Navy Marina to the wedding venue (Regatta Place) so that we could get some shots out on the water on the way to the ceremony. In parallel, Mark accompanied my husband and his friends on a pre-wedding "bar crawl", capturing happy bonding moments at Chanler's, Celtica and Gurneys. At Regatta Place, they shot the ceremony, some pre-discussed family portraits, bride/groom photos on the docks both post-ceremony and at sunset, the cocktail hour, dinner/speeches, dancing and a pile of great candids. We were thrilled with the resulting photos! They are a beautiful, diverse mix that perfectly captures the "feel" of our wedding day - from the emotion of the ceremony, to the happiness and comradery of having all of our favorite people in one place, to the energy on the dance floor, to the positively glorious weather we were so lucky to have.. Months later, we keep returning to the online album (which is very easy to manipulate, by the way - we've used it to make some great physical albums!) to transport us back to that magical day! We are so grateul for all of the effort, creativity, flexibility, situational awareness and attention to detail that Danielle/Mark put into the photographic process. They have our highest recommendation!!

Danielle & Mark were exactly what we were looking for from our photographers! We found them through a google search of photographers in the Providence area and we are so happy we came across them. From the start they were very easy to work with and our first meeting went so smoothly while putting our minds at ease about how pictures would come out. We had a late NYE wedding so I was nervous about lighting and getting pictures of everyone outside and they made it all happen! They blended in seamlessly throughout the day and made it so easy for us to not even think about what and where we needed to be. They let us dictate the day and even when we were running a little behind our schedule they never once made us feel rushed. The pictures came out absolutely breathtaking and they captured exactly the moments we wanted and gave us memories that we can look back on forever. We cannot thank these 2 amazing people enough for making our special day that much more memorable!

We stumbled on Will & D on Instagram and I am so glad we did! They are bar none the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. They were the most responsive photographer I contacted, and flexible while being very professional. Danielle met us on short notice when we were in town for our engagement shoot. We were not used to being photographed together, but her laid-back approach and calming personality produced some truly incredible images. Mark and Danielle even took an entire morning out of their schedules to meet us a few days before our wedding to do a walk through of our ceremony and reception venues which made our day run seamlessly. They are truly talented-everything from our close-up family photos to grandiose portraits of our large cathedral ceremony are perfect. We have been told over and over that these are the best wedding photos people have seen. And all of this for a price that is pretty unparalleled on the island! Most importantly, though, is how they made us feel. When Danielle arrived to take photos of my bridal party, it felt as though an old friend had arrived. She kept us on schedule, effortlessly arranged my dress countless times during the day and has the perfect sense of humor and unflappable confidence to keep a rowdy bridal party on task. There were multiple deaf guests at our wedding, including my mother, and every time a deaf person was in a photo, Mark made sure to use his fingers to count down to taking the picture. A small gesture that meant a lot. We are so grateful for these two and were ecstatic when their photos from our wedding were featured in Newport Wedding Magazine. You will not regret hiring them.

When I first got engaged, I attended the Newport Bridal show with my mom thinking it would be a fun activity to do together. It turned out to be super overwhelming (while still fun!) since I didn't even have a wedding date, venue in mind etc. While everyone there was asking about me date, my color scheme etc., Mark of Will & D was the first (and only) person to ask when and how I got engaged. As we began talking, Will & D's work flashed on the computer screen and I was taken aback- their photos were so beautiful. From that moment on, I know I had to book them for our wedding. They were the first vendor I chose and I never even second guessed my choice. Mark came to Boston for an engagement shoot so we could get to know one another before the big day. Once we got those photos back, I knew we were going to also get wedding pictures that we would adore for a lifetime. Both Mark and Danielle have such a kind heart and want to be sure you feel the most comfortable while capturing all the special moments of your wedding day. I can't quite put into words how grateful I am that I found them and their work really speaks volumes for their talent, compassion, and effort- they were up editing the night of our wedding to get me sneak peaks the day after! Of all the choices we made leading up to our wedding, this is the one I am the most grateful for.

Mark and Danielle are amazing! An engagement session was included in the package that we chose and after meeting them it helped to put our minds at ease. Not only were they so easy to work with, but the work they do is incredible! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our photos, they perfectly captured the magic of our day!

Your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye, but you pictures last a lifetime. Will & D captured every important moment from start to finish. Our photos will allow us to relive our amazing day all over again. They were professional, pleasant, and overall just amazing to work with. Timely with responses, listened and understood what we wanted, and not to mention our pictures were heavenly. Without hesitation, I would recommend Mark & Danielle to any couple out there!

We could not be any happier with our wedding photos! Mark and Danielle were such a pleasure to work with. It was clear from the get-go that they were truly genuine people and their thoughtful, intuitive approach really shined through in the photos they captured of our special day. They did a great job of blending in at the reception and getting photos of everyone. Their pricing is incredibly reasonable for the quality of their work and accessing our photos afterwards was very easy. Highly, highly recommend! -Maegan & Ian, 9/22/18

My husband and I are so happy that we chose Will & D to be our wedding photographers! I cannot say enough good things about Mark and Danielle. I searched forever to find the perfect photographers for our wedding, due to not doing a first look and not having natural daylight. I came across Will & D and after viewing their photos, I knew they were the perfect photographers for us! They were very easy to deal with and were very patient to answer all of my questions and sent me photos to view prior to booking. A week prior to the wedding we set up a meeting with them to go over the day of plan, and they were SO kind. The day of the wedding Mark and Danielle did a wonderful job of getting our large wedding party and our families to cooperate and get all of the shots that we were looking for. They blended in and really captured the moment - unlike other photographers that make you do things over and over and the photos can look forced. They are both so nice and very professional and make such a wonderful team. Danielle was a life savor the day of the wedding, she helped me button my dress, helped me gather all of my belongings, and really just helped out so much. She is just so sweet! I truly cannot say enough good things about Will & D! If you are looking for a wedding photographer, or a photographer for any occasion, I would highly suggest Will & D! I have only gotten a few of my images and they are absolutely stunning, I can't wait to see the rest. I look forward to using Will & D for all of our future photography needs! We are so thankful to have had you both as our photographers! Thank you for capturing our wedding day! XO Alison & Frank

Danielle and Mark were outstanding. From the first interaction all the way through to getting our wedding photos - we were thrilled. On the day of the wedding they were so accommodating to all our requests and kept us calm throughout the day. The candid photos and drone shots were such an added bonus. The pictures turned out beautiful.

I am so grateful to have had Mark and Danielle (Will & D) as our wedding day photographers. After our engagement shoot with them, I had no doubt that they would capture our day perfectly. Their creativity and talent completely exceed my expectations. As soon as we received our photos, I felt that I was reliving our wedding day all over again. They captured all of the big, important moments and even the small details that I didn’t even know I needed. They perfectly executed what I was looking for. Not only was I impressed with the photos, but they also added a calming, happy and positive vibe throughout the entire day. They took the time to make sure we were relaxed, had something to eat and drink, and even took us off on our own to take some couple photos, which was so important to us! It gave us a moment to ourselves on our wedding day. I would absolutely recommend Will & D to anyone for any occasion!

Mark and Danielle (Will & D) are the quintessential example of everything that you want, and need, in photographers, especially for your wedding day. They made the day so perfect and special, that words cannot express our gratitude. They came to the wedding location not only on time, but ready to go the minute they got there. They stayed behind the scenes for the most part, taking beautiful candid photos, and stepping in when appropriate, and capturing every single photo request that we had. They took some photos that were unbelievably timed, and captured the day beautifully. They went out of there way to find locations at our venue, that we didn't even know were available on the rooftop, just showing us how much they cared about us to give us the perfect shots. They made sure to treat every moment as special as the next, and did not miss a beat! They got photos of venue, ceremony, dresses, tuxes, literally everything! They missed nothing! They are honestly so kind and sweet, as well as just down to earth people. They keep you smiling all day, and by the end of it, we are happy to call them friends. Highly recommend for any/all photography needs, but they are masters at weddings! We will only use them for future photography needs, and continue praising their phenomenal work! Thank you so much Mark and Danielle, for giving us memories that will last forever.

There aren’t the words to adequately express how incredibly grateful I am to have found Will&D! Mark and Danielle are two genuinely wonderful people and captured our wedding beautifully. I was enamored with the photos on their website and was so grateful for their quick response to my inquiry e-mail. I told them a little about what I was looking for and they quickly provided me a sample of their work, use of lighting and general style. No one tells you how awkward those engagement photos can feel at first, but they quickly put us at ease, got us laughing and captured some of the most wonderful photos I could have ever imaged. Our two dogs were supposed to be co-stars in those photos, but they were too tempted by the ocean and quickly ran in to play. Danielle and Mark were completely relaxed and captured some of the sweetest photos of them –turning what I thought was going to be a “ruined” idea into some magical photos! On our wedding day they captured the most incredible photos while simultaneously allowing us to be with our family and friends to celebrate. They rolled with the changes to our schedule (running behind, etc.) and went above and beyond in SO many ways (thank you again for carrying my bag out of the Church Mark!). We had a large wedding party and guest list and somehow they captured everyone. Picking Will & D was hands down the easiest and best decision we made when planning our wedding and I couldn’t recommend them more.

wow! just everything AMAZING, I heard about them through a friend after looking into several photographers and I have only done my engagement photos so far but they were so great! Mark and Danielle were both very sweet and professional, they made us feel so comfortable and our pictures were ready in less than 2 weeks and they came out wonderful ! someone literally told me should consider modeling after seeing them they came out so good? I would deff recommend them for your wedding or any occasion and not to mention reasonable pricing , can't wait to see how my wedding pictures come out with them!
