The Destinations With Dana Purpose

INQUIRE TO BEGIN

From the moment you inquire, you can expect consistent communication, and a personal connection being formed. This way, every time you get in front of my camera, you can trust that your images, and the experience, will be amazing.

Every DWD couple goes from "we are awkward in front of the camera" to "WOW! That's us? We look amazing!"

Morning BEverage

I started my photography business because of the precious moments captured on my wedding day. As a military spouse, that day with my husband, friends, and family was unforgettable. It was the only day we'd all be together before we moved 7,000 miles away from home, and before my husband deployed. That day was one of the best of our lives, and those photos are what I still cherish today.

As Seen In

As a light and airy wedding photographer, I love photographing Jacksonville Weddings at venues with beautiful light. Whether it's Spanish Moss, a garden full of flowers, or at a vineyard in the country-side  Here are a few (of many) favorite venues I love in JAX.

Top Faves to Photograph at

- Reesah and Bo

"From the sweetest welcome gift, to setting up a Zoom just to get to know us, to including an engagement shoot in her package, everything felt so personal and incredibly generous. Dana's kindness and sense of humor made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera!

- Mailey and Allbry

"Dana was absolutely AMAZING! From the very beginning, she was so kind, professional, fun & incredibly easy to work with. She made us all feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Dana was everywhere she needed to be without ever feeling intrusive. She made everything feel so effortless & enjoyable. She was truly the BEST!"

- Alden and Courtney

" My wife and I were truly lucky to have Dana photograph our wedding. Dana's shots are beautiful and she is hyper-efficient at getting through a long list of shots, quickly getting together and rearranging groups for larger photos, and letting you get on to partying."

DISCOVER THE EXPERIENCE

From the moment your favorite cousin gives you a quick hug, to grandma seeing you for the first time, to details that matter most to you, and far beyond what happens on the dance floor (like little ones dancing), I am always keeping my eye open and reading a room for moments that occur that you might not see. This way, we get the shot list, but we also get the true candids when people let loose. 

Destinations With Dana approaches every wedding day with a genuine desire to photograph the hidden gems

Photographing every moment- from candids at the welcome-dinner to the 'rated R' dance floor moments on your wedding night.
