"Danielle was such a pleasure to work with. She was professional, timely, organized and FUN! I will forever cherish the pictures from our engagement session and our wedding day. I loved that she took the time to capture guest couples at our wedding as well. She was very honest and upfront about the price and deliverables we would receive. I look forward to hiring her again for family photos in the future!"

I cannot say enough good things about Danielle. As a fellow wedding photographer it took me a long time to pick someone and I say at least once a week to my now husband how glad I am that we went with her. As a bride there is so much stress and so many decisions going on and you really need an advocate and someone to guide you through the day and make the whole day sail smoothly. For me that was Danielle. She was so kind, patient and positive throughout our entire time. She truly made me so calm and collected which was so important for me. Her photos are so breathtaking and she guides you through each pose with ease.

"Danielle was so much fun to work with! She is so personable and easy to get a long with, which made posing in front of the camera much less intimidating! She helped coach us through the poses and has a wonderful eye for locating the perfect back drops. She took the time to get to know my husband and I as a couple and made sure to know what we wanted to have highlighted for our big day! I have so many compliments on our wedding photos and would recommend Danielle time and time again!!"

What more can I say about Danielle and her team?! She is the most FANTASTIC wedding photographer. After seeing her work from a friend's previous wedding, I knew from the start that I wanted to book her! From the beginning, she was professional and always there to answer questions or provide suggestions. I appreciated her sweet spirit and this attention to detail. On the big day, I had absolutely nothing to worry about! Danielle is a dream! Thank you for capturing all the moments from our big day that we will cherish for years to come!!

After our first Zoom meeting, my fiancé and I just knew she was going to be a great fit! She was extremely professional, touched base quickly answering any questions, and I just always felt she sincerely wanted our business! She was excellent in planning our timeline, getting things organized ahead of the date, and on the actual day she captured so many great moments of our wedding--both posed and candid. She also did a great job of guiding us into what to do in photos and they just turned out great! I can't stop scrolling through our gallery! I would highly recommend her!!!
