FORMAL SHOTS TO YOUR FUNKY DANCE MOVES

Beyond formal portraits and details, your wedding gallery isn't complete without photos of you and your guests dancing the night away, and all the emotional candids in between!

One of my biggest roles at your wedding will be to look out for these special moments so you & your loved ones can relive them over and over again.


Most couples invest in 8-hour collections with an heirloom album to bring their curated galleries to life!

"We chose Daniela to photograph our wedding day – she was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! When we were deciding to book with her, she took time to understand our vision and make sure we were a good fit. Daniela came prepared and organized to every meeting, crafting our shot list and what we wanted to capture for our big day. Daniela took time to come to the rehearsal dinner and took fantastic candid photos. On the big day, Daniela and her second photographer were so helpful – capturing getting ready and the big moments before during and after the ceremony. The photos turned out incredible – they captured our vision and our day perfectly. Daniela’s energy was also fantastic; she brought a bright and energetic vibe that made her a delight to work with. We would recommend Daniela for ANY event – she is a fantastic photographer and you will not regret choosing her."

When you fill out my contact form, I will send you a detailed investment guide and a link to book a consultation call with me. This call is very important because we will be determining if we are a good fit for one another- we will be spending lots of time together on your wedding day! I will also be looking out for what services get you excited so I can help you decide on which collection works best for you.

After the wedding, congratulations will be in order of course! I will deliver previews within 24 hours for you to share with friends & family, and I will send you more information about albums & prints to bring those images to life. The typical turn-around time for galleries is 4-6 weeks, and they come ready with a slideshow so get the Kleenex out!

Wedding day will be here before you know it! My hope & dream for you is that you are having fun, feeling good, and dancing to your fave music with your spouse (ah!) on the dance floor and without a worry in the world.

After the wedding, I will be freaking out that you two are now married! I will deliver previews within 24 hours for you to share with friends & family right away. The typical turn-around time for full galleries is 4-6 weeks, and I will include a slideshow so you can sit down and view the highlights together. Finally, you & I will work together to create a wedding album with your favorite images so you can make sure that your beautiful day is never forgotten.

Real Wedding Stories

Rebecca + Shawn

Tied the knot at the elegant Airlie Hotel in Warrenton, VA

They had two fabulous ceremonies back-to-back celebrating both of their cultures. I loved how much fun they had throughout the day, including introducing the wedding party to the reception with a round of shots, and having the cutest dances with their parents.

Madison + Josh

Got married at the fabulous Gramercy Mansion in Baltimore, MD

Not only was the venue spectacular, but this couple added an extra dash of romance by reading their vows and exchanging gifts privately before the hustle and bustle of the day began. Gotta love a good a good Hora at the reception too!

Kim + Ross

Made it official in the classy Fairmont Hotel in Washington, D.C.

By getting married in Foggy Bottom, Kim & Ross had the luxury of escaping to the Jefferson Memorial for their couple's photos. One of my favorite parts of the day was the incredible live band they hired- their guests were dancing all night long!

the bottom line

If you're someone who is all about the connection and joy of a wedding day, and you want your photographer to share in that excitement, then you're in the right place! 

I don't take the responsibility of being your wedding photographer lightly. I am humbled to be considered for such a special occasion, and I genuinely want to be there to cheer you on and maybe (definitely) cry a little during the vow exchange. You will also find me multitasking on the dance floor in style (dancing + photographing!)

"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."
