Danielle truly made our wedding day The most special day ever! She helped curate all of my crazy photo ideas, and even got my non-photo loving husband to actually enjoy taking pictures! After our engagement session with her we had no doubt in our mind that we had made the right choice, Little do we know that we hired a Wedding Photographer but we also got an amazing friend out of the day! She was extremely well organized and by the time our wedding rolled around I felt completely comfortable knowing that we had a solid timeline and all of our photos would run smoothly together!
Since our wedding has completed all of our family members have been raving about her and my husband and I are so excited to see our photos! I know that we will be using Danielle in the future for all of our photo needs & I cannot wait for her to capture our next big milestone! If you need someone to photograph your wedding this is your sign to hire this girl because you don’t know what you’re missing out on!
"Words cannot even describe how thankful my husband and I are for Danielle!"

When we first met Danielle for our engagement pictures, it was the first time both my husband and I had ever been photographed professionally. She made us feel so comfortable, it was as if we had been friends with her for so long. Throughout that next year of wedding planning she was so helpful and would check in and remind me of important things to think about. To me she definitely played so much more of a role than solely wedding photographer. When looking at our engagement and wedding pictures (which we do on a regular basis) it is clear to see the extra effort she made to capture pictures from the perfect angle with the perfect lighting. Danielle has a beautiful art of not only capturing smiles but soul and emotion. Her pictures tell a story that even a million words wouldn’t be able to express as beautifully. We can’t wait to work with Danielle again in the future. She is worth her weight in gold! We love you, Danielle!!

Danielle is absolutely amazing! She captured our special day perfectly. She is super nice, listened to everything we wanted out of our photos and then took even more with us that were even more amazing than we could imagine. We will absolutely book her again! We recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer and wants their special day and moments captured perfectly.

Danielle made me feel so calm and comfortable on my wedding day. She understood exactly what we wanted our wedding day to look and feel like, and the pictures show just that! Her editing style is incredible and she got us our photos back so quickly. She’s just an all around great person and I loved working with her. Highly recommend!

Danielle was the most amazing photographer for my South Carolina wedding! I found her on Instagram and fell in love with her style of photography, and I am so happy I did! She always responded quickly if I had any questions in the months leading up to. And day of she was organized and made sure every important moment was captured. All of the pictures turned out so beautiful, I AM OBSESSED. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a photographer. Thank you Danielle!!
