THE WEDDING EXPERIENCE
Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a lived, emotional, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
My approach to wedding photography is calm, intentional, and people-focused. I document your day as it naturally unfolds, while gently guiding you when needed so you never feel awkward or over-posed. The goal is photos that feel real, joyful, and true to who you are.
I photograph weddings using a blend of film and digital photography, creating images that feel timeless yet modern. From quiet in-between moments to big, celebratory energy, your gallery will reflect not just how your wedding looked — but how it felt.
This experience is for couples who value connection, trust their photographer, and want to be fully present on their wedding day.
THE PROCESS
step 1
NEXT STEP
the process
When you reach out to me about your wedding photography needs, I do a quick little happy dance! The process begins with an inquiry and a relaxed Discovery call.
This call is all about you; your story, your priorities, and what matters most on your wedding day. We’ll talk through your vision, your timeline, and whether we’re a great fit for each other.
After our call, you’ll receive a custom proposal outlining wedding photography collections, engagement session details, and next steps. Everything is handled online through a private client portal, making the process simple and stress-free.
I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives a thoughtful, high-touch experience.

Once your date is secured (yay!!) I'll share my custom-designed Wedding Guide that I've created for all of my couples to help in the wedding planning process. This guide is full of wedding planning resources, vendor recommendations, engagement outfit inspiration, and so much more. Within this guide is also a link to directly schedule your engagement session by viewing the calendar and availability! The calendar allows you to schedule up to 4 months out at a time.
Once your engagement session is scheduled, you'll receive one more guide, specifically for helping you prep and plan for your dream engagement session.
As always, I'm happy to help during the full wedding planning process!

Engagement sessions are included in most wedding photography collections and are one of the best ways to prepare for your wedding day.
These sessions are relaxed, fun, and centered around connection — whether that looks like a walk through a beautiful location, coffee downtown, or something meaningful to you both. There’s no pressure to perform or pose perfectly.
By the time your wedding day arrives, you’ll feel comfortable, confident, and completely at ease in front of the camera.

Once you complete the Timeline Questionnaire shared with you after your engagement session, will create a personalized timeline that is tailored to your unique wedding day. I strive to capture timeless and classic moments as a wedding photographer, and I look forward to celebrating your love story with you.
I am here to help make your day as smooth and stress-free as possible. Let's work together to create beautiful and timeless photos that you will treasure forever.
WEDDING PREP
step 4
On your wedding day, my role goes beyond taking photos.
I’m there to read the room, keep things moving smoothly, and protect space for real moments to happen. I’ll guide when needed, step back when it matters, and ensure nothing important is missed without ever pulling you out of the moment.
Your only job is to be present and enjoy your people. I’ll take care of the rest.

I want to make sure your wedding photos are timeless and classic, capturing the special moments of your big day. Trust me as your wedding photographer to create stunning images that you will cherish forever.

Spending time with a friend rather than just a photographer.
Danielle's warmth and friendly demeanor helped us feel at ease in front of the camera. It felt as if we were spending time with a friend rather than just a photographer. I truly don’t think anyone could have captured our moments as beautifully as she did.
We are beyond grateful for her incredible work and the memories she has given us.

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.

Every detail of Kayla and Alex’s wedding was crafted with intention. From the moment I arrived at Cranberry Creek Gardens, it was clear they had designed a day that felt wholly and beautifully true to them. With no bridal party, they chose to keep their celebration intimate, surrounded only by their closest family and friends.
Their ceremony felt sacred, their portraits effortless, and the entire day carried a gentle joy that lingered long after the evening ended. Cranberry Creek Gardens was the perfect backdrop for their intimate celebration—lush, romantic, and full of the kind of charm that invites you to slow down and truly feel the moment.
A wedding built on intention. A day overflowing with love. And a covenant shared in the most timeless way.

MR. & MRS. MCDONALD
Honestly, every moment of this day was filled with joy. A beautifully seamless celebration from start to finish. Their intimate private vows set the tone, followed by Bridgerton-esque portraits that felt romantic and timeless. We even slipped back into the church after the ceremony for some of my favourite portraits of the entire season.
The reception carried that same feeling of intention and love, with every detail thoughtfully crafted. Brittany and her dad shared the most fun, joy-filled father–daughter dance, and the entire room was on their feet.
A day overflowing with beauty, heart, and the kind of moments you want to relive again and again.

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.

Eloping allows couples to celebrate their love freely. There is no pressure, no strict schedule. It is all about the connection. This day was a perfect example of that. It was just the couple, the stunning scenery, and a sense of wonder that filled the air.
