Of Couples Say Their Day Felt Effortless
I'm Dana, a wedding photographer based in Florida, offering a stress-free wedding photography experience for joyful couples.
Based in Gainesville, Florida, I bring over 8 years of experience photographing weddings with full weekend coverage - from the wedding rehearsal to the wedding day. As your Gainesville wedding photographer, I do more than take photos; I also help couples feel comfortable in front of the camera and fully supported throughout their wedding. experience.
Hey there!

"I cannot recommend Dana more! She is extremely experienced and professional, and helped keep the entire wedding day running smoothly. She took time to research photos and poses and to understand Indian weddings. We loved working with Dana!"
- Zara and David
The Destinations With Dana Promise:
For my Gainesville couples, I believe your wedding experience should feel personal from the very beginning. From the first email you receive after inquiring to the final delivery of your gallery, everything is handled by me. I do not use AI to respond to emails, cull images, or edit your wedding photos. Each image is carefully reviewed and edited by hand so nothing meaningful is missed. This thoughtful approach allows your wedding day to be preserved in a way that feels honest, intentional, and true to the moments you lived.
For couples who want a wedding photography experience that feels unrushed and want a personable experience with their Florida Wedding Photographer
I am drawn to full-day wedding experiences where nothing feels rushed, whether that means celebrating in the timeless elegance of 1908 Grand, exchanging vows beneath the trees at Sweetwater Branch Inn, or gathering with loved ones at the historic Thomas Center. Your wedding day deserves space to relax, with room for real moments and meaningful time with your guests. When couples feel present and unhurried, the day feels better, and the photos naturally reflect that connection.

"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!
