Of Couples Say Their Day Felt Effortless
For couples who want a wedding photography experience that feels joyful, unrushed, and truly yours.
Your wedding day should never feel rushed or staged. It should feel like you. I prioritize calm direction, natural interactions, and a timeline that leaves room to breathe. Because when you feel relaxed and supported, your photos tell the honest story of your day in the most beautiful way.
The Portfolio
Here you will find highlighted images from weddings and editorials all across the U.S and parts of Europe. It's a great way to see real wedding images from all settings so you can feel inspired.
Pricing
Here you will find clear pricing on each package I offer for wedding days. From intimate weddings with just a few of your favorite people to large wedding days with 200 + guests.
Wedding Experience
Your photography experience should feel calm, supportive, and tailored to how you naturally connect. I focus on creating an experience that feels personal and genuinely enjoyable for both of you and all your guests.
"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!
