I'm Dana, Your Light and Joyful wedding photographer in Jacksonville.
Based in Jacksonville, Florida, I bring over 8 years of experience photographing weddings with an intentional approach. My focus is on creating a supportive experience where you never feel rushed. My role goes beyond photography, helping couples feel comfortable in front of the camera and fully supported throughout their wedding experience.

The Destinations With Dana Promise:
From the very first email you receive after inquiring, everything you experience with me is personal. I do not use AI to respond to you, cull your images, or edit your wedding photos. Every email is written by me, every image is reviewed by me, and every final edit is done by hand. This allows me to notice the in-between moments, the quiet expressions, and the details that matter most to you. For my North Florida couples getting married in Jacksonville and beyond, this means a thoughtful, human experience from start to finish, and photographs that feel intentional, true, and carefully crafted.
For couples who want a Jacksonville Wedding Photographer who offers a photography experience that feels joyful, unrushed, and truly yours.
I am drawn to full-day wedding experiences where nothing feels rushed, whether that means getting married by the river at Epping Forest Yacht Club, celebrating beneath the historic charm of The Ribault Club, or spending the day surrounded by nature at Bowing Oaks. Your wedding day should have space to breathe, with time for real moments and meaningful connections with your guests. When couples are present and unhurried, the day feels better, and the photos reflect that feeling.
The Portfolio
Here you will find highlighted images from weddings and editorials all across the U.S and parts of Europe. It's a great way to see real wedding images from all settings so you can feel inspired.
Pricing
Here you will find clear pricing on each package I offer for wedding days. From intimate weddings with just a few of your favorite people to large wedding days with 200 + guests.
Wedding Experience
Your photography experience should feel calm, supportive, and tailored to how you naturally connect. I focus on creating an experience that feels personal and genuinely enjoyable for both of you and all your guests.
"Dana captured our day so beautifully! I could not have asked for better photos and a more fun photographer to work with. She is incredibly talented, makes you laugh during photo shoots (which makes the photos turn out incredible), is accommodating, and gets photos back in a very timely manner."
- Sarah and Lucian
WHY I JUMP OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING
Your wedding photos
matter
I want to document every single moment of your wedding day. I know firsthand that sometimes you never know when you’ll want to look back and relive a specific memory. It’s not always the moments you expect to mean the most that do. Your first kiss matters, but so does that sweet first look with your Dad and the toast that made you laugh so hard you cried!
