Oh, you want to know more about me? Right this way...

Everyone’s story is different which makes my job one of the most fascinating around. You can tell so much about a couple by their wedding day: the family they surround themselves with, the friends they’ve chosen for themselves, the song they’ve selected for the first dance. It’s like being invited into the very best chapter of their lives to date, and that’s such a freakin’ honor, I can’t tell you.

There’s just something about them, right? A couple’s friends and loved ones gathering together in one place to celebrate the fact that they’ve found someone who gets them. Really gets them. Someone who speaks their language better than anyone else. I think that’s kinda magical.

and no event is more vibrant than a wedding.

I photograph life in all its messy, gorgeous vibrancy

let's get to know each other, shall we?

hi! i'm dani

that's us! show us more!

Besides, if you and your guests aren’t laughing at a wedding, then what are you doing?!

That’s it. If you want pictures of guests with their heads thrown back laughing, the groom wiping away helpless tears as his Best Man makes a God-awful speech, or Nana laughing so hard that she has to pop her teeth back in, then I’m your girl.

In a nutshell, my style of photography is

Born and raised in Maryland, I’m a creative wedding photographer but wasn’t always one. A few years back (a lotta years, now that I’m counting) I jacked in my safe, noble, health insurance-providing job working with grieving families to follow a little dream I had. I wanted to take pictures. Beautiful pictures. Pictures so beautiful they make people do a little cry.

So that’s what I did. I also managed to bring two spirited boys into the world. That means I live a completely outnumbered existence with two males in the house but don’t worry, I’m on top of it. Being a mother is awesome and terrifying in equal measure but I don’t let it define me. Lots of people can be mothers: few can be awesome wedding photographers.

Hiring Dani as our wedding photographer was hands down the best decision we made! She is not only an amazing photographer, but also an amazing and fun person to be around! She made us feel like movie stars and everyone loved her. She went above and beyond to get the shots and guests are raving about the photos she took! We had the best time of our lives, and she really knew how to capture it. Hire Dani - you will not regret it!! We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos. Thank you again, Dani!

Dani is the absolute best!!

Dani was amazing to work with!!! I would absolutely recommend her as your wedding photographer!! She captured our wedding day beautifully and caught so many fun, candid shots of us smiling and dancing all night! These are memories we will keep forever. She made taking our wedding photos enjoyable and painless :) She took the time to get to know us and the pictures reflect this. She returned the pictures quickly after the wedding and I received soo many compliments from family and friends about the quality / how "fun" the photos were! We can't thank her enough!!!
