Engagement Sessions

A relaxed way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day—and create something beautiful in the process. We’ll choose a location that feels like you, whether that’s the coast, the forest, or somewhere meaningful to your story.

Engagement sessions begin at 2,350.

Sessions are available year-round, with two seasonal approaches:

Couple embracing on golden sunlit rocky coastline at sunset with ocean waves and mountain backdrop.

Golden hour sessions in spring through fall, with warm light and longer evenings.

Couple sharing a romantic kiss beside a massive redwood tree in a lush green forest setting.

Cozy season sessions in late fall and winter, with softer tones and quieter locations

“I would highly recommend Danieka and her work! She was so easy to work with, and we love our engagement photos.”


What’s it like?

I keep these sessions simple and easy. I’ll help with location ideas, timing, and outfits, so you don’t have to overthink it. Most sessions last about an hour, usually around sunset when the light is at its best.

The goal isn’t stiff posing. It’s giving you space to just be together, so your photos feel natural and like you.
