Danielle and her assistant took so many beautiful pictures that it’s going to be hard to decide which pictures to use for the album and pictures. She was so professional and we hardly knew her and her assistant we there. She was very efficient and knew exactly what pictures to take. Prior to the event she contacted us to get a list of family shots. We highly recommend her and could not be happier with the photos.

Highly recommend!!

We used Danielle for our engagement photos and our wedding day and couldn't have been happier with the final product! Danielle is so easy to work with- she is very responsive and called me quickly after my initial inquiry to get to know us and discuss what we were looking for. Danielle is a true professional and clearly very experienced in what she does- from guiding us into various poses and setting up unique shots, to getting our list of "must have shots" and specific people we wanted to make sure were in our pictures, to helping organize our guests the day off- I was so surprised with how quickly and efficiently we got our post-ceremony pictures done so that we could enjoy the time with our guests! We got our pictures back quickly and the platform to view and download was very easy to use.

It can be so overwhelming to choose each vendor for your big day and it was so important to us that we chose a photographer that understood what we were looking for, was experienced, kind and produces high quality work- I am so glad we chose Danielle!

Taughannock Micro Wedding

We hired Danielle to shoot our micro wedding in may 2023. Danielle was reasonably priced for the coverage we were looking for this type of event. We are not local and had never been to the finger lakes area so we relied on Danielle’s expertise a lot in recommending a timeline for our day locations to shoot at taughannock etc. Danielle was flexible friendly and easy to work with. We had great communication throughout the process leading up to our wedding and the day of she was professional and listened to getting the pictures we desired to have and recommending spots to go even helping us to include our dogs in our special day. She hiked with us to the falls and recommended some beautiful spots to take our photos at the park. Our pictures were turned around quickly and turned out fantastic and we are so happy that she was the photographer we chose for our special day.
