Danielle Defayette Photography Bristol VA TN Family Session 0036

It wasn’t so long ago that these two lovebirds were getting hitched! Little Anniston turned ONE a week ago and I had the pleasure of getting to witness her first cake smash. We also frolicked in the neighbors yard for their family photos, because these will be the last ones they have done in their current house! Plus, it’s not very often that you find a perfectly in-bloom Dogwood tree! This little family is moving into new home and wanted a proper farewell documented before they left! I love that I get to be apart of such sweet family moments and cute occasions!

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.
