    Danielle is the best!

    Danielle was so flexible and understanding with us when our large june 2020 full day wedding changed due to covid to a smaller, shorter, and intimate wedding ceremony.

    Honestly, a positive that came from this is we had so much more time for couple shots and Danielle is so fabulous and talented that we now have so many beautiful pictures to look back on! It was really hard to pick favorites - there were so many options.

    Danielle is laid back and makes you feel at ease. She's also so good about just rolling with the flow and will be brave and willing to get wet in lake michigan to capture the perfect picture for your engagement session.

    I cannot recommend Danielle enough!!

    Danielle did a fantastic job with our engagement pictures! She helped us pick a beautiful location that suited our interests very well. She also did a great job of directing us to capture the best pictures. All the pictures turned out great and we are having her do our wedding pictures. Looking forward to working with Danielle again!

    Danielle was an absolute pleasure to work with! Going into our engagement session, my fiancé and I did not know what to expect. The second we got there Danielle made us feel extremely comfortable. She took the candid pictures we were looking for and we could not be happier with the final product. I highly recommend Danielle to anybody that is looking for a photographer that will capture the true, natural beauty of a relationship. She deserves way more than 5 stars!

    Our experience with Danielle was amazing! She was very flexible on date and timing (she even made rescheduling easy when we had a last-minute weather cancellation), and very responsive. Danielle has a creative and adventurous photography style, and she helped us pick some perfect spots for our Chicago shoot. We had a great time working with Danielle, she made the photoshoot comfortable and fun!

    We used Danielle as our wedding photographer and we're so glad we did. Danielle met with us over a year in advance of our wedding and answered all of our questions during the booking process. She was professional and responsive leading up to the wedding. And on our wedding day, she was prompt and organized, and made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. She was able to capture our entire shot list, the little details around our venue, and a ton of action shots that express the magic of the evening (dances, speeches, guests tearing up the dance floor). And she worked with us to make sure the formal/posed pictures were minimally disruptive to our day (e.g., so that we could enjoy cocktail hour with our guests). The pictures are absolutely beautiful - she worked so well with the lighting at Salvage One. I love that we received both a digital gallery of all of our photos (without watermark) that we can share with friends for downloading/printing, as well as a usb drive with all of the picture files. We've received so many compliments on our pictures, and we just received our photobook in the mail yesterday and it's going to be such an amazing keepsake for years to come. For 6.5 hours of shooting and the number of photos we received (and the photobook), we also felt the pricing was very reasonable especially given the quality and professionalism. Thanks, Danielle!

    Danielle was great to work with! We live out of town and she was very accommodating to our traveling schedule. She had the exact type of style we were looking for to capture our wedding. She paid great attention to detail and captured all of our special moments. The photo book we received after our wedding was great quality. Book Danielle ASAP if you want the perfect wedding photos.

    Danielle was awesome to work with. She made us and our entire wedding party feel really comfortable and I think because of that, she was able to capture all of us having the best time. Thanks, Danielle!

    Danielle was AMAZING!!! It was our first time doing a photo shoot of this sort and we were very nervous. Danielle was warm yet direct, you can really tell she has an eye for great pictures. Her turnaround times for finished pictures were SUPER fast. We received sneak peeks less than a few days after the shoot. I would highly recommend her to everyone!! We are already thinking up ideas for our anniversary pictures with her! :-)

    Danielle was simply the best wedding photographer we could have ever asked for. She is incredibly professional and prompt in her communication. Most importantly, though, she is an incredible photographer. Our wedding photographs are absolutely gorgeous. When we first started searching for wedding photographers, Danielle's artistic style and use of light, really made her stand out from others. The photos you see on her site and Instagram are truly representative of the magic she will work for your wedding day. She captured all of the special moments we wanted beautifully. The photographs are better than anything we ever could have dreamed of and will be cherished for a lifetime. Thank you, Danielle!

    Danielle was absolutely amazing. The photo quality and creativity in shots is top notch. She also provides your photos extremely quick! I have heard really bad stories of some photographers taking forever to deliver the final photos, but Danielle got them to me in under a month. She is a lovely person to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

    Danielle did an amazing job shooting our engagement pictures in Logan Square. We were looking for a mix of urban and natural scenery . She suggested some great spots to shoot and was able to give us just enough direction when we needed it. We also loved that the shots were so natural and captured us in action having fun at the spots we would normally hang out at in our neighborhood. An overall wonderful experience working with her.

    Danielle was amazing! Our photos came or beautiful. We have recommended her to other friends who are getting married! I would recommend her to anyone who loves the nontraditional photos that capture the moment. I didn't even need a videographer. Danielle captured the entire night perfectly!

    Choosing Danielle Heinson Photography was the best decision we made for our wedding! From our initial phone call to receiving our final wedding photos we were truly impressed with Danielle’s professionalism and quality of work. Danielle shoot both our engagement session and wedding. I personally am not used to taking photos, but Danielle created a fun and relaxing atmosphere. My husband and I could not be more pleased with how beautiful our photos turned out! We definitely recommend Danielle Heinson Photography for your next special occasion!

    Danielle was one of the best investments I made for my wedding. From the very first e-mail for a consultation she was always very professional and easy to work with. Personality wise, she is very down-to-earth and friendly with a caring heart for all. Her style is very romantic and beautiful and was exactly what I wanted. On my wedding day she was quick to get going on all the details I left out for her to photograph; by the time me and my girls were needing photos of prep she was ready. During my 1st look with my husband, it started to rain. Danielle didn't run inside, but instead stood under an umbrella while we stood under our own (note that this is with her expensive equipment) so we could get some beautiful candid shots in the rain. I was over the moon with joy to see how much effort she put in to make sure I got my once in a lifetime photographs I've always dreamed of. During the ceremony and reception she was in stealth mode-
    out getting all the photos we needed but was never in the way. When she needed a certain shot she would give great direction. She is a great photographer all around. She was quick to give me previews and I'm so lucky to have had her shoot my wedding.

    We adore you Danielle!

    She's super helpful and easy going, so don't worry about adding extra stress on top of huge pile of stuff you have to do on your wedding day. Give her some direction on the type of photos you want and she'll deliver with exceeding results. I really appreciated the extra little touches she added throughout the entire process to not make it feel like a huge chore.

    My husband and I are so glad that we found Danielle! Her style of photography was exactly what we were looking for: elegant, modern, and detail-oriented. Danielle was able to customize her services for our small, simple ceremony in Chicago. She made every effort to know what kind of photos we wanted for our special day and she delivered exactly that - memories that will last a lifetime. Beyond our own ideas, Danielle was creative and innovative with an eye for the things that made our event unique. We recommend Danielle to any couple who values stunning wedding photography. Her services are an investment you will not regret!

    Danielle was extremely accommodating, watching the weather with us to make sure we got the best pictures. She was fun to be with and made us extremely comfortable to be ourselves during the session. She laughed along with us, gave us great tips, and became like a friend to us. If you are ever worried about overly cheesy or awkward photos, Danielle is your girl! She listened and correctly read our personality and came up with great ideas. Would do it again any time!

    We loved working with Danielle! We booked her for our engagement pictures about 8 months ago and knew immediately that she was the girl we would trust for the wedding. She truly has a knack for capturing moments in the most unique way -- she was definitely a calming presence at the wedding, as well! Some of my wedding guests described her as a "wedding ninja", never distracting or in the way, but still able to get the most amazing shots. During our engagement shots, we felt totally comfortable being our silly selves with her and I loved having those moments captured on camera. We've seen a few previews from the wedding and can't wait to see the full album -- I know they'll be fantastic. Would absolutely recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a photographer in the Chicagoland area. Loved her!

    Danielle is an amazing photographer . She capturered all the moments I had wanted and then some candid photos which we just loved . She blends into the crowd so you don't even notice a photographer but she is also is so approachable that if I wanted to make changes she was willing to really go with the flow .We searched all of the big name wedding companies but her personality , excitement and dedication to our day really stood out . Book Danielle as your photographer and you will not be sorry . Thank you again Danielle !!! We love those photos !!!!
