THE WEDDING EXPERIENCE
Weddings are a special moment in someone's life that they have probably imagined since they were young. The emotions felt during this time are real and raw, and oh so beautiful. Weddings are more than just a ceremony, they are a celebration of love and commitment. The joy, tears, laughter, and emotions that fill the air make each wedding unique and special. Being able to document these heartfelt moments is a privilege that I do not take lightly. It's about capturing those timeless and classic moments that will be cherished for generations to come.
From the moment you choose to work with me, you have an all-time hype girl, forever third wheel, and a genuine heart that is grateful to document and celebrate your love on one of the greatest days of your life.

"Working with Danielle was a dream"
We hired her to take photos for our wedding and throughout the entire process she was thoughtful, helpful and fun! She ensured she met mine and my husbands requests, and went as far as meeting with us multiple times before the wedding day via FaceTime to ensure she knew all of the details of the day. She returned the photos in a timely manner and they were wonderful - she captured so many candid moments that are fabulous reminders of how special the day felt. We are currently expecting and are booking Danielle for a maternity shoot! If you are looking for an excellent photographer, look no further! Danielle is truly the best.
Christina & Turner
"Creates a fun and memorable experience"
We couldn't be happier with Danielle's incredible work for our engagement shoot! From the moment we met, Danielle made us feel comfortable and relaxed, which truly reflected in the photos. We were blown away by the stunning results and have received countless compliments from friends and family. Working with Danielle was an absolute pleasure, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who not only delivers exceptional results but also creates a fun and memorable experience. Thank you again, Danielle, for your amazing work!
Dylan & April
"She made us feel so comfortable"
Danielle at Danielle Cargill Photography was amazing to work with for our engagement and wedding photos! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and took absolutely beautiful photos. She has clear communication and made sure our wedding schedule/timing made sense and wasn’t rushed. We even received both photo previews within 24 hours of the day. Highly recommend!
Greg & Heather
"Danielle puts so much love and care into her work"
“Danielle is amazing to work with and truly cares about all your life moments! From my engagement, wedding to all our family photos, she never disappoints! Danielle puts so much love and care into her work. I would highly recommend her!”
Jeremy & Addison
"Working with her felt like we had known her for years"
Cannot speak highly enough of Danielle's work. She has captured our engagement and wedding photos so far and we can't imagine ever using another photographer for all of our lives milestones now. The amount of work she puts in past simply "taking photos" comes through in her work and how helpful she was to making our wedding day perfect. She went above and beyond and troubleshooted any issues
making our lives stress free. Stop searching for photographers you've found the right one.
Nick & Katie
"The most caring, creative, sensitive photographer"
The most caring, creative, sensitive photographer ever. Was an absolute pleasure to have Danielle in our home in such special event. She made it so much more special and now that we have seen the pictures of the day we feel she captured the mood, the feelings and the perfection of that night. Thank you Danielle. You are such a sweet caring person !!!

Venue: Island Art and Taste
The entire day was out of a dream. A destination wedding in Greece. From beginning to end, Emily & Isaiah were so authentically themselves. The ocean was crashing against the shore, it was so calm, so thoughtful and such a fun day.
After the ceremony, we snuck down to the beach to run along the shoreline. Because getting ready ran late, we had 10 minutes to make some magic. And we did. I loved letting them have a moment alone on the beach to take in being married.
The party went alllll night long, and everyone was in such a great mood. The happiness, the music, the people, it truly was just the best day ever.

THE Lifestyle EXPERIENCE
Capturing moments with loved ones is priceless. Whether you're celebrating a new addition to the family, marking a milestone, or a family session just because, photos are a wonderful way to preserve those memories for years to come.
I believe in creating images that are not only beautiful but also stand the test of time. My goal is to build a relationship and tell your unique story through timeless and classic photographs that you and your family can cherish forever.
As a photographer, I have the privilege of documenting the beginning of a new chapter in a couple's life. It's a special moment that deserves to be captured in a way that will bring joy and nostalgia for years to come.
THE PROCESS
The first thing you reach for after losing a loved one is a photo. It's like a lifeline, a piece of them frozen in time that you can hold onto forever. I know this all too well. When I lost my dad at a young age, all I had left were a few photo albums and his favorite jean jacket. I clung to those photos like they were the only thing keeping me connected to him.
The power of a photograph is incredible. It has the ability to transport you back to a specific moment in time, to evoke emotions and memories that may have faded with the passing of days. It's a tangible reminder of the love and joy shared with those who are no longer with us.
As a photographer, I understand the importance of capturing these moments. My goal is to create timeless and classic images that will be cherished for generations to come. Whether it's a wedding day, a family portrait, or a lifestyle session, each photo is a piece of history that tells a story.
I believe that photography is more than just taking pictures. It's about capturing moments that will be treasured forever. Let me share your legacy.

Christina & Turner's Maternity Session
Decew House Heritage Park
Working with Christina and Turner is always such a joy. For their maternity session, we ventured to the same location we photographed at for their first look on their wedding day. I dearly love when clients choose locations that are sentimental to them, and moving around to each little spot around the park held so much meaning and emotion for all of us.

WHITE COUNTRY SIDE
Kate and Jesse's maternity session took place at a beautiful French Country inspired studio, creating a comfortable home setting. We listened to a mellow playlist and the entire session was warming with a few joyful tears. One of my favorite moments this day was when Kate looked at her loving husband and began to tear up in excitement for the beautiful life they have in store.

Romantic & Rainy Timber Barn Wedding
I am still reminiscing about this stunning Boho St. Jacobs Timber Barn Wedding. If you want a romantic, cozy vibe for your wedding day, think about having your wedding at the The Timber Barn in March. The weather promised a day of either rain or snow, and we got both! It was truly the perfect location for a cozy March wedding.
