Based in Jacksonville, Florida, I bring over 8 years of experience photographing weddings with full weekend coverage - from the wedding rehearsal to the wedding day.

Hey there!
"I cannot recommend Dana more! She is extremely experienced and professional, and helped keep the entire wedding day running smoothly. She took time to research photos and poses and to understand Indian weddings. We loved working with Dana!"
- Zara and David
No AI Here -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 me. 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.
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.
Packages and Pricing
A page that shares with you in full transparency the Florida wedding packages offered, the experience you will get, pricing and more. It's all here for you!
About your photographer
I believe the connection you have with me is just as important as your appreciation of the images. Get to know more about DWD and why I am the right Florida wedding photographer for you.
"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!
