Here is how I make it happen
Your wedding day is not a production, but it is a celebration that came together thanks to the support of your friends, family, and vendors.
You not only want a wedding photographer that takes good photos, but someone who also has a super power to connect with people in a welcoming way, and ensure everyone has a great time in front of the camera, and behind it as we chat and become connected.
The experience starts the moment you inquire, with genuine conversation and establishing a professional but friendly relationship.
It continues with staying in touch, personable welcome gift, learning about everyone attending, and having meetings to keep up to date on any changes. So come wedding weekend, it's as if a friendly face is photographing the moments, not just a random person with some good camera gear.
The type of wedding photographer that includes everyone in the experience, not just the couple...
Here is what makes me different...
Rehearsal Included
The connection I promise continues by being present at not only your wedding walkthrough, but the first hour of your rehearsal. To photograph moments, meet your wedding party, and build that rapport. After all, they will be seeing me all day. This makes it easier.
Team Player Over Here
I love working with wedding planners, DOC (whether that is someone you hired or a family friend offering to help). Together, we will get the job done and make your experience feel effortless.
No AI Here
From the moment you inquire, to choosing your images, writing your blog, and editing, each is done by me. You are hiring a person, not a robot, to handle your most important memories. It only makes that connection and experience much more personable.
I love it and I am ready to book!
Kind Words
"I cannot recommend Dana more! She did such a beautiful job with our wedding photos, they are truly stunning. She is extremely experienced and professional and helped keep the entire wedding day running smoothly"
- Zara and David
"An amazing person and photographer! Dana helped us through: from deciding what shots we wanted, to helping us with our timeline, to shooting engagement photos, to keeping us on schedule on the big day."
- Karen and Nate
"I booked Dana for my destination wedding in the south of France. She was more than just a photographer, she was with us every step of the way throughout our wedding weekend. It was such a seamless wedding because of her. I am so lucky to have found her and the moments she captured. Couldn’t recommend her enough for your wedding!"
- Danyelle and Alan

here's what our time together will look like
Right now, the ball is in your court. As soon as you reach out, I will take it from there.
Within 24 hours (sometimes less), I will respond back with information on your wedding experience. Whether you decide to have a phone call, a zoom, or just prefer email, we still stay in touch and plan out your experience.
If we both feel like I’m the right fit for your wedding day (I will be completely honest with you), I will send over a contract and invoice. Once you’ve signed on the dotted line, your date is on my calendar in permanent marker.
This is when you might expect me to disappear until closer to your wedding day, but no, that ain’t happening. Throughout the next months, you can expect me to be in touch regularly so I can connect with you further and show up fully prepared on your wedding day.
By the time your wedding day arrives, we are going to be best friends and that will help you relax while I’m doing my thing behind the camera.
(check your mail within 2 weeks for a little something from me, for the both of you)
After your wedding day, you might feel a little down that it’s all over. But it’s not. I deliver sneak peaks within 3 days, a blog post with my favorite moments, and your full wedding gallery is delivered within 4-5 weeks. Your wedding photos are edited by me (not AI) so you can expect great results and no un-missed editing/moments.
Saying Goodby is Always the Hardest
so after all of this, promise you’ll stay in touch okay?
