Designed for couples who love timeless, editorial photography as much as candid, playful moments - the ones that capture who you really are when no one's watching. Whether you're planning a small wedding or a three-day wedding experience, Destinations With Dana creates a custom experience for couples and their guests that's rich in connection and free of stress.

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 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 the Old Spanish Quarter with white walls and clear skies. Here are a few (of many) favorite venues I love in JAX.

"Dana was the most incredible photographer I could have asked for. She is the ultimate hype person and brought such a positive, calming energy throughout the entire experience."
- Michael and Cheyenne
"Truly the best photographer! She did an amazing job during our engagement session on Jekyll Island. From the moment we started, she made everything feel so easy and natural. Her personality is incredible!!! Friendly, fun, and so easy to work with"
- 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."
Gabby and Phil wanted a destination wedding where friends and family from as far as Philadelphia flew into Monterey to enjoy great views, great food, and a fun wedding party!

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 your 'ideal shot list' to the moments you didn't even see happen.
Your wedding isn't like any other wedding I've photographed. Every couple is different in their own way, and I take that to heart. I'm beyond excited to be your Jacksonville Florida Wedding Photographer, and I can't wait to be by your side every step of the way!
