As Seen In

I'm Dana, a destination wedding photographer based in Jacksonville, Florida

As your light and airy wedding photographer, I bring over 8 years of experience photographing weddings for couples who want the full weekend covered. The wedding day matters, but so does the wedding-day walkthrough and the rehearsal dinner. You and your guests deserve to look back on your wedding gallery years down the road and say "wow, what an amazing weekend that was!". That is where I come in. 

Hey there!

About your photographer

01.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you support LGBTQ+ community?

Yes! I welcome all couples, no matter who they are marrying. Your love is welcome here! 

Do you photograph beach weddings?

Absolutely! Whether it’s sunrise on Amelia Island or golden hour in Ponte Vedra, I know how to work with the light, breeze, and tides for stunning portraits.

Will you help us with our wedding timeline?

Definitely. About a month before the wedding, I’ll help build a photo-friendly timeline so your day flows naturally and you can stay present.

I photograph weddings all across Florida, California, and parts of Europe. If your love story is taking you somewhere beautiful, I’ll make it work!

Absolutely. I believe weddings are more than one day — they’re a full experience. I’m there to capture it all!

What if the weather changes our plans?

After photographing over 150 weddings, I’ve learned that the best photos often come from unexpected moments. I’ll help adjust the plan, find the light, and make it feel effortless.

What makes you different from other Florida photographers?

My focus is on presence over perfection — capturing real joy, real moments, and the energy of your weekend. You’ll never feel rushed or posed; just guided, comfortable, and celebrated.
