...to the 'rich in connection' and 'light on stress' experience.
Jacksonville, Florida wedding photography for the quirky-meets-joyful couple. Classy enough for the wall prints. Real enough to actually look like you. No two weddings -or couples - get the same treatment here.
Hello and welcome!
Jacksonville Florida Wedding Photographer
You Don't Have to Be a "Type" of Couple
Ballgown or fitted. First look or aisle reveal. Classic suit and tie or something a little more you. I've photographed every version of "I do," and I've never had the same couple twice.
Some of you are ready to cry before you even see each other. Some of you are chill until the officiant says "you may kiss." Either way, you'd rather spend cocktail hour with a drink in hand than posing for one more photo (don't worry, we knock those out beforehand).
You want photos that you can look back on that bring a smile to your face. You also want images in the gallery of your guests, not just of you two.
Pricing
Half day, full day, or destination - collections starting at $2,500. No guessing games, no "let's hop on a call to discuss investment"

""She is the ultimate hype person and brought such a positive, calming energy throughout the entire experience... Dana truly went above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible."
- Elizabeth and Patrick
I've been doing this full-time since 2018, and I still get genuinely giddy every time a Jax couple books me.
My favorite places to shoot? Beaches, museums, and grand estates. Something about that mix of natural light and a little architectural drama brings out my best work.
Here's what you can actually expect from me: I keep the timeline on track, I work great with your other vendors (planners and I are basically besties by the end of the day), and I'm team couple, always. Fast responses, easy to work with, and fully in your corner from the first email to the last dance.
Classy, joyful, a little chaotic in the best way - if that sounds like you, I'd love to be there for it.
As Seen In
WHY I JUMP OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING
Your wedding photos
matter
Twenty years from now, your wedding photos will be how you remember the way your person looked at you, the friends who flew across the country, and the toast that made you cry and laugh at the same time.
I'm here to make sure none of it slips away. Not just the first kiss, but the quiet moments in between. After all, your favorite memories are usually the ones you didn't see coming.
Do you support LGBTQ+?
Yes!! All love is welcome here and no matter who you marry, you can feel safe with DWD!
