I started my photography business because of the precious moments captured on my wedding day. As a military spouse, that day with my husband, friends, and family was unforgettable. It was the only day we'd all be together before we moved 7,000 miles away from home, my husband deployed. That day was one of the best of our lives, and those photos are what I still cherish today.

- Reesah and Bo
"From the sweetest welcome gift, to setting up a Zoom just to get to know us, to including an engagement shoot in her package, everything felt so personal and incredibly generous. Dana's kindness and sense of humor made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera!
- Mailey and Allbry
"Dana was absolutely AMAZING! From the very beginning, she was so kind, professional, fun & incredibly easy to work with. She made us all feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Dana was everywhere she needed to be without ever feeling intrusive. She made everything feel so effortless & enjoyable. She was truly the BEST!"
- Alden and Courtney
" My wife and I were truly lucky to have Dana photograph our wedding. Dana's shots are beautiful and she is hyper-efficient at getting through a long list of shots, quickly getting together and rearranging groups for larger photos, and letting you get on to partying."
Gabby and Phil wanted a destination wedding where friends and family from as far as Philadelphia flew into Monterey to enjoy great views, great food, and a fun wedding party!

From the moment your favorite cousin gives you a quick hug, to grandma seeing you for the first time, to details that matter most to you, and far beyond what happens on the dance floor (like little ones dancing), I am always keeping my eye open and reading a room for moments that occur that you might not see. This way, we get the shot list, but we also get the true candids when people let loose.
Destinations With Dana approaches every wedding day with a genuine desire to photograph the hidden gems
