“We couldn’t be more happy with the way our photos turned out”
Dani was an excellent photographer for our wedding. She was professional, communicative, organized, and so nice! We couldn’t be more happy with the way our photos turned out as she really captured our wedding day exactly how we want to remember it. Would highly recommend.

one thing is for certain...
I'm here to take care of you!
I believe that wedding photography is more than just taking pictures. It's about capturing the authentic connection, the quiet moments, and the unforgettable emotions that make your day unique. If you’re looking for someone who can deliver technical excellence and soulful storytelling, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit.
...But I’m also just here to laugh, celebrate, and have a good time with you. 🎉

Engagement sessions are an optional but phenomenal way to get comfortable as a couple in front of the camera, and to connect with me- your photographer- before wedding day! I have tons of location recommendations and a style guide so that your photos are ready for save-the-dates, invites, your wedding website, and for prints to furnish your home.

Wedding day & beyond
Daniela Zapata
Hi again! I am a wedding photographer with over eight years of experience capturing love stories that feel as genuine as they look. My couples often describe me as patient, kind, and organized- the calm presence who keeps things running smoothly while documenting every heartfelt moment. I value having mastery of my gear and an eye for emotion. I use these skill to blend technical precision with storytelling that feels effortless and real. From quiet in-between moments to vibrant dance floors, my goal is to help you feel completely at ease so your photos reflect the joy and connection of your day exactly as it unfolded.
My goal is for your photos to transport you back- to feel joy, love, and connection, even decades later.
More about your photographer
Do you help pose us? We've never taken professional photos!
Absolutely- that is a big part of my job! We'll go through classic and more fun posing and prompting to get images that make you love the way you look.
Frequently Asked Questions
How would you describe your photography style?
I love joyful and true-to-color photographs with a pop of color, and an emphasis on composition to highlight the natural beauty of the scene.
Do your collections come with albums or photo prints?
Most of my collections do, but albums are also available as an add-on if not already included. I also have a print store linked to your gallery to make it easier than ever to create other prints and photo gifts from your photos.
How many photos can we expect to get back?
Tons! It will depend on the hours of coverage I provided, and the nature of your timeline, but couples don't usually get less than 600 images in their final galleries (8 hours of coverage used for reference).
What areas do you cover? Are there travel fees?
All my wedding collections include travel for 3 hours outside of Alexandria, Virginia, or 2 hours for elopements. Travel feels may apply outside of this region. Domestic travel can be arranged.
Will you help us with our timeline?
Yes! Part of my planning process includes creating a photography timeline based on my experience at previous weddings, and the specifics of your wedding day. I can happily work with your planner or coordinator to put it all together as well.
Do you do payment plans?
Absolutely. Your wedding is not booked until a contract is signed and a deposit is paid. After that, the most popular payment plan is split up into two more payments.
Do you have collections with video?
Not at this time, however, I do have recommendations for fabulous vendors I've worked with over the years.
