kind words

We decided to hire a wedding photographer at the last minute on the very good advice of family & friends, and we were so very lucky that Danielle happened to be available. We had a completely DIY wedding, including doing food ourselves, so this ended up being our largest single expense and the only wedding professional that we worked with, but it was completely worth it. I was initially drawn to Danielle's natural-looking style, experience photographing outdoor weddings, price options for smaller celebrations, and that she was LGBTQ+ friendly. From our first conversation, Danielle was so warm, friendly, professional, and interested in understanding our specific needs and story. I have never had professional photos taken and was worried about feeling or looking awkward, but Danielle did the best job of making me feel relaxed and comfortable both before and day-of. She worked with us on our timeline, including making sure that we had plenty of time to enjoy happy hour (we were worried about taking photos for too long), and made sure we got amazing sunset photos. She brought such kind, bubbly energy, asking if we needed drinks or breaks, and the Polaroid album at the end of the night was a lovely treat. Her husband Morgan, did an incredible job on our wedding video, which is beautiful, natural, not overly produced, and very "us." After the wedding, Danielle was so communicative about timelines, keeping us updated and providing very rapid sneak peaks. Having seen all the photos, I can say that it was absolutely worth every penny -- the photos capture so much that I missed in the moment or didn't notice because I was so focused on the ceremony and family and friends. If there was ever a day to have a professional photographer, it's this one, and Danielle was an integral part of making sure we have beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.
