Danieka was our photographer for our outdoor wedding, and she did a phenomenal job. I was a mature, plus-size bride, and being the center of attention and getting my picture taken was way outside my comfort zone. Danieka was so great with us in the planning process and on the day of, and made everything feel easy and smooth.


On the big day she was there but not intrusive or annoying, she was part of our people. Many of our guests commented on how wonderful she is. We now have two beautiful, framed wedding portraits on our living room wall and oodles of wonderful shots.

We planned our intimate wedding in California from New York, bringing our closest friends and family together for a fairy tale day in the woods. Danieka captured every moment so beautifully. From our first call, she was a true professional, and even from miles away, everything felt easy and taken care of.


We’re not the “pose for photos” type, but capturing those moments with our family was so important to us. Danieka guided us perfectly while still letting everything flow naturally. She has such a passion for what she does, an incredible eye for detail, and so much patience.


Receiving our photos felt just as good as our wedding day. She promised to tell a story, and to me, it’s the best story ever told. We couldn’t be happier.

From our very first call, I knew Danieka was the photographer for us. Her portfolio was beautiful, but what stood out most was how much she truly cared about being part of the whole experience so we could actually enjoy our day.


She was flexible, empathetic, and really focused on what we wanted. Unlike others, she took the time to understand our style and our goals so every moment felt like ours.


On the day, she was exactly where she needed to be, capturing all the moments with such care and intention. She isn’t just there to take photos, she captures the joy, the laughter, and everything that makes your day yours. You will not regret having her there.
