Bohemian Wedding at Laughing Waters Retreat in Asheville

Lauren and Danny met while teaching at their high school. She was the music teacher and he was the tennis coach. Their workplace crush turned into a whirlwind romance with a beautiful outdoor wedding. They chose the lovely Laughing Waters Retreat in Asheville, North Carolina as the backdrop for their bohemian nuptials. With its breath taking waterfall and stunning forestry, Laughing Waters was one of the most secluded venues we’ve had the privilege of visiting!

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.
