"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."

Traveler, storyteller, and the calm presence you’ll want on your wedding day.
Most couples I work with start by saying they feel awkward in front of it — and that’s okay. I’ll guide you gently, keep things light, and focus on the moments that feel real. Before you know it, you’ll forget about the camera and just be together — laughing, soaking it in, and making memories that feel exactly like you.
Since 2018, I’ve had the joy of photographing over 150 weddings and 50 editorials across 12 states and seven countries. Along the way, my work has been featured in publications like Destination I Do, French Wedding Magazine, Munaluchi Bride, and Ellwed Wedding Blog. What this really means for you is that I’ve had the privilege of seeing so many unique love stories unfold—and I bring that perspective and calm confidence to your day here in Jacksonville.
Before stepping behind the camera, I was trained as a professional wedding stylist. So, whether it’s fluffing your gown for portraits, making sure your veil flows just right, or even sewing a last-minute fix, I’ve got you covered. My couples tell me that knowing I have both the artistry and the practical skills to handle those behind-the-scenes details makes their day feel so much lighter. My goal is always the same: to let you soak in every hug, laugh, and happy tear while I take care of the rest.
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!
