THERE IS A GENTLENESS AND WILDNESS TO HER PHOTOS THAT PERFECTLY ENCAPSULATED OUR EXPERIENCEs
“My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of having Danielle shoot our wedding last spring. She could not have been more warm, engaging, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. Danielle and Greg came all the way to our little town in eastern NC and first shot the sweetest photos of us in our home for an ‘engagement’ shoot a few days before the wedding, and they instantly felt like old friends as we all walked, talked and captured timeless moments. For our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, I had countless comments from our friends and family on how welcoming and lovely Danielle and Greg were. We still get comments about them almost a year later! Danielle made the entire process so seamless and stress free, and her photography timeline for the day was perfect. And of course—the photos turned out beyond our wildest dreams. Danielle truly has a one-of-a-kind perspective; there is a gentleness and wildness to her photos that perfectly encapsulated our experiences of our wedding weekend. The many cameras dangling off of her hip gave us such a cool mix of photo styles that each tell the story of the day in a unique way. We couldn’t have asked for better memories to look back on— our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles and friends, still comment on how incredibly talented Danielle is. So almost a year later, thank you thank you thank you Danielle!!!!”

By our wedding day, Danielle felt like a close friend
“Danielle shot our wedding back in September and we will forever feel grateful that our paths crossed. From our initial conversation we knew we wanted to work with Danielle. She immediately put us at ease and was genuinely interested in getting to know us and how we envisioned our wedding. By our wedding day, Danielle felt like a close friend. She brought a calming presence that reminded us of the importance of being present with each other on a day that can go by in the blink of an eye. Her ability to capture every moment (both big and small) speaks to her endless talent. We will always look back on our wedding day as a time filled with so much happiness, love, and support and Danielle played a big part in that.”

IMMEDIATELY, WE WERE DRAWN TO THE WARMTH AND HONESTY OF HER IMAGEs
“Danielle was an absolute dream to work with. Immediately, we were drawn to the warmth and honesty of her images and the way she values storytelling over posing. Danielle set up a call for us to talk about our vision before the shoot, so we knew we would be on the same page even before she arrived at our home to take photos. She hung out with us for 3 full hours, shooting all over our home and several nearby spots that were meaningful to us. I’m so grateful for these photos of a special chapter in our lives that is ending soon, but will be documented forever! We couldn’t be happier with the overall experience, and we have already booked Danielle to come to our home again to take newborn photos once our little one is here in just a few short weeks. We can’t recommend her work highly enough!”

The memories that she captured for us will bring me happiness for the rest of my life
“Danielle is so talented, and was the reason I finally told my husband ‘ok, having our wedding was worth it’ because the memories that she captured for us will bring me happiness for the rest of my life. I truly could not recommend her any higher. You will treasure the moments that she captures for you. She has an incredible way of recording joy, love, and human-ness that should be in a museum, honestly. You will not regret hiring her. She's professional yet warm, disciplined yet flexible. Thank you Danielle for sharing your gift with the world!”

BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I HAD TEARS IN OUR EYES WHEN WE GOT THE PHOTOS BACK
“Working with Danielle was not only a lovely experience, but the photos were an absolute dream that both my husband and I had tears in our eyes when we got the photos back! She truly captured our family and there were so many gems to choose from. It is not easy to get two children (a 2.5 year old and 10 month old) to cooperate for photos at 7:30 AM, but Danielle got them to smile, laugh, and engage for the photos. She also has such a calming vibe that it made family photos so much fun for all of us. And the photos turned out so dreamy! Cannot recommend Danielle enough for capturing whatever season of life you’re in.”

the pictures turned out better than we ever expected
“Danielle shot our wedding in October and the pictures turned out better than we ever expected. Seriously, they are perfect. I've been part of plenty of weddings and I gotta say, Danielle is by far the best wedding photographer I've ever interacted with. She's able to capture action-packed candids, powerful portraits, and beautifully composed stills all while bringing great energy to the wedding. I couldn't believe some of the photos she shot to be honest, truly incredible. 11/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a photographer.”

Her presence is so calming and loving
“We love Danielle for so many reasons. Danielle prioritized our happiness and comfort. If you study her work, you’ll see genuine, unposed fleeting moments of heart-felt laughter, day-to-day life and tears… She has a natural way of invoking feelings of nostalgia through her work… Danielle is kind, patient, generous beyond belief and passionate… She’s as wonderful a friend as she is a photographer. She cares about the people she works with. Her presence is so calming and loving - she’s easy to open up to. She showed up days before to get to know our family. We’re so happy she spent time with us - when the camera came out, everyone felt relaxed and comfortable around her. She is more talented than any other photographer we’ve ever studied the work of - so much so, our entire family is still swooning over the photos and have unanimously decided we want her to be the artist that captures our stories for the rest of forever. We will always recommend her.”
