Light and Airy Wedding Photography That Captures Your Favorite Memories
Can I be honest with you? When it comes to your wedding day, words will never be enough.
CAN WE SKIP TO THE GOOD PART?
SO CHEERFUL YOU’LL FORGET I’M PROFESSIONAL
Your Destination Wedding Photographer
Whether you are planning a luxurious vineyard wedding in the French Riviera, or an intimate wedding in an English garden, destination weddings require an incredible level of attention to detail. You need someone you trust to answer your questions throughout the planning process and be mindful both of your energy and of your wedding timeline on the wedding day.
For your wedding photos, you need someone who you trust to take beautiful photos, but it’s so much more than that. You need someone to help you relax in front of the camera, crack a joke, tell you that you're gorgeous, and take more
photos than even you think is necessary.
.
TLDR: don’t worry you’re in good hands.
Let's make it easy. Wedding packages that are designed for your day
Because your wedding is different than the others. Let's create a wedding package that is best for your special day.
Want all of the details?
here's what our time together will look like
If what you're reading makes you feel like I am the right fit for you, fill out the contact form below.
I will reach out and set up a video call within 24 hours of receiving your initial inquiry form. If at all possible, I want BOTH of you to attend so I can meet you (and appreciate how sweet you are together, obviously).
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.
Throughout our time together, you will see me checking in on you every few months. It's important we stay connected and update me on the process of 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 3-4 weeks. I like to deliver these FAST so you don’t fill your social media with those underwhelming camera photos while you wait.
Saying Goodbye is Always the Hardest
so after all of this, promise you’ll stay in touch okay?
Let’s cut to the chase.
Why hire me as your photographer for your destination wedding in Europe?
You want to hire a wedding photographer who sees Europe through your eyes. I’m just as charmed by Europe now as I was the very first time, and that magic and delight shines through in your wedding photos.
I also believe that good wedding photography doesn’t just happen on the wedding day. I chat with my couples throughout the planning process, sharing any advice and tips that come up closer to your wedding day. I know what my fellow Americans expect, in terms of
quick response times and personal, quality service.
SOUND GOOD? I SURE HOPE SO.
"Her infectious personality and outgoing nature made us feel comfortable being ourselves. Taking our photos was such an incredibly fun process. When my husband and I met Dana, we immediately connected with her, were impressed with her portfolio, and knew she was the only photographer we’d want to capture our special day. Her website is beautifully designed and easy to navigate, and she goes above and beyond communicating with her clients. It’s clear that Dana loves her craft and is passionate about capturing the love and magic of every moment."
"Working with Dana was an experience we will never forget."

"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. Her photos will be up on my wall and in a treasured photo album for years to come. Do yourself a favor and book Dana for your wedding! She's truly the best!
"I have endless nice things to say about Dana and her team."
We initially reached out to Dana inquiring about her wedding day packages and were impressed with the lightning fast response time, the ease of use and clarity of her packages and of course her stunning photography! After an initial call, we felt like Dana was already a lifelong friend of ours and immediately knew this was the wedding photographer for us! Over the past year, Dana has sent us the sweetest welcome package, given us the best photos of us and our dog we've ever had, made us laugh and ensured to get every and I mean EVERY single one of the photos from our wedding we dreamed of. If you're looking for a Wedding Photographer who's a master of a light and airy look and getting family members to show their biggest smiles, Dana is the absolute best choice!

Packages and Inclusions
Each couple and their weddings are never the same. This is why I offer a variety of packages for each budget. Each package, no matter what, does include the following, so you get the best experience no matter how big or small your wedding day or elopement may be
A free consultation. Your experience and how I serve you all begins with how well we know each other. So, lets set up a zoom and chat about your wedding day.
A welcome gift customized for you two to share and enjoy. Made with love from local small businesses, you will indulge in all the yummy welcome treats!
Rehearsal Coverage the day before your wedding on elopement. My couples, their close friends and family, and myself found that the wedding day experience was much more enjoyable because we knew the wedding day timeline in advance, and by then, we were already friends, making family portraits even more fun!
An online gallery with digital high-res images and unlimited downloading. This means your gallery will NEVER expire and the link can be shared with anyone!
A wedding Day Blog is written with how the day went down based on my and your guest's experience. Plus, lots of images! A perfect way to look back on your wedding day or share it with those who could not attend
You deserve the best experience
and with me, that is exactly what you will get

WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE
With me as your photographer
You’ll ENJOY having your photos taken. Seriously. I know at least one of you hates having their photos taken and is worried they’ll look or feel awkward in the photos. Not on my watch!
You’ll book a destination wedding photography package that includes exactly what you need to cover your favorite moments - whether that’s a three day event filled with all the festivities or an intimate elopement for the two of you.
You can count on me to work tirelessly to capture all of your “must have” moments, so you can experience being truly present on your wedding day and not stress over all the details.
You’ll get a photographer who is assertive (read: bossy) enough to get your larger-than-life wedding party to line up for wedding photos, but cheerful enough that you’ll still have an amazing time.
frequently asked questions
Yes! I have photographed couples in France, The United Kingdom, Portugal,Italy, Spain, and Greece! Because of this being both during the busy and non-busy season, I am familiar with adjusting to the weather and location as needed! Personally, I have traveled to over 11 countries throughout Asia, Europe and the Caribbean. As well as lived in other countries.
It's important for me to leave plenty of time of travel in case of delay. Therefore, I make sure to arrive at least two-three days before the rehearsal or wedding day. This way, I have time to tour the venue, adjust to the time difference, and be in the best shape I can be!
My packages are simple and are all-inclusive. This means, it covers all travel cost (hotel, planes, trains, car), food, as well as services that cover your wedding day needs. The only extra cost would be if you would want a destination engagement session that will include me needing to travel to you by plane to another part of the country/world.
I like to live life with a smile. People have called me bubbly, warm, and light. It's also how I feel wedding days should be: warm and loving. I put this into my editing and it's how I act at your wedding: with a smile and always warm, light, and positive.
Wedding days are meant to be fun, joyful, and memorable. That is how I act on your wedding day. I want to include that I work in a way that is warm but also assertive. Wedding days are once-in-a-lifetime and it's important for me to do what it takes to capture every single moment that you, and even your friends and family, want to see in the gallery, on your wedding day.
The average delivery for me to edit and send you the gallery is around three weeks. This will vary based on bookings, and other commitments that time such as vacations, holidays, or unexpected emergencies.
GET EXCITED
And take a deep breath. I know this form is long but it’s designed intentionally with you in mind. After I receive your form, I will reach out to you to book a complimentary consultation where we can connect over a cup of tea (or a glass of wine - we are talking Europe after all).
