Learn more about Dana - your Florida Wedding Photographer
You deserve a wedding day that feels intentional, joyful, and beautifully present. That belief shapes everything I do. With eight years of experience, a life shaped by travel, and a deep love for documenting real connection, I photograph weddings in a way that lets you fully enjoy your day while trusting the moments to be captured with care.
I’m Dana! A JAX-based destination wedding photographer, military spouse, and Swiftie at heart but more importantly, I’m someone who wants your wedding to feel like an experience, not a checklist. From the quiet moments before the ceremony to the laughter on the dance floor, my purpose is to document your story honestly so you can relive it for years to come.
If you’re dreaming of a celebration that’s rich with connection and light on stress,
you’re in the right place.
"Stop searching and send your inquiry now. Dana is the best there is. Dana is a raw, genuine, and super fun person. She's got the perfect attitude and jokes that put my husband and I at ease. Like we've been friends for ages and we're just catching up. My husband and I are not models by any means but the pictures she took of us say otherwise. She has a glowing energy that shines through in her work. Every time I look at our wedding pictures, I feel everything I had felt in those moments."
- Mr. and Mrs. Norton
How We Met + Why Photography Mattered on our wedding day.
We met at work back when life felt simple and everything moved a little slower. What started as quiet conversations on long shifts eventually became a life built on travel, change, and showing up for each other through every season, including our wedding day.
When we planned our own celebration, we knew one thing for certain: this was the only time all our favorite people would ever be in the same place. That truth shaped every decision. We wanted to feel the day fully and walk away with photos that captured the emotion, the people, and the moments we knew we’d never get back.
That experience stays with me. It’s why I care so deeply about documenting weddings with intention. I’ve lived how meaningful it is to look back and feel the joy,
the laughter, and the presence of the people you love.
My hope is to give you the same gift- photographs that help you remember not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt to live it.
