Engagements

Sugar Hollow Park Engagement Session | Chelsea & Thomas

We loved photographing this amazing couple! Chelsea and Thomas are best friends and enjoy every second they get to spend together. We love they way they hold hands as they walk, and say the simplest things that make each other laugh. It is so clear they are madly in love and she feels safe in his arms. They are a fun and easy going couple, who love everything about being together. Whether it’s hanging out at the house, or catching a flick at the local movie theater, every moment spent together is time well spent. They even love to go on weekend hikes, which makes us smile because even though we work together and spend 90% of our time together, we love to take hikes up on local trails together too! For their engagement session, we explored Sugar Hollow Park in Bristol and were having a blast getting to soak up the sunset. We already love these two, and we are so excited for their wedding at the beautiful Allandale Mansion this December!

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things. 

Like my tough love mom-voice that will keep your bridal party in check, my air of calm if you’re feeling overwhelmed, and the corniest jokes so no one has the jitters in front of the camera!

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”

and I'm not just bringing my camera to your big day.

Wanna know what you need for                        
detail photos?

unforgettable

In the hundreds of weddings I’ve photographed, I’ve created as many different flat lays as you can imagine. And so I’ve curated a complete list of must-have items for you to gather so your detail photos are even more special. For the free list, enter your email below:
