I'm a Northern Virginia wedding photographer based in Alexandria and I have been helping couples get married with low stress and stunning photos for the past 8 years. It is an ABSOLUTE JOY for me to capture couples on their wedding day and help them have their best day ever!
I know that a wedding day can cause a lot of stress but it also has the potential to be one of the greatest days of your life and bring the biggest blessings. All of your favorite people are together in one place for one day or a long weekend and it's a huge priority for me to capture all of the new memories you're making.

AN AUTHENTIC, INTENTIONAL AND COMFORTABLE EXPERIENCE
"We had the amazing opportunity to have Danielle as our photographer for our May 2025 wedding and boy did she exceed our expectations and then some! From the start, you can tell Danielle genuinely cares about her couples and their love story. She was an amazing communicator and planner in the months leading up to the wedding. She was awesome at being on top of responses to myself & our wedding coordinator and took the time to make sure we had a great plan going into wedding day. On the special day, she was prompt and got right into work with detail shots upon arrival. My husband and I are definitely not the photogenic type and typically feel pretty awkward in front of a camera and if you’re the same, she is just the person you want! She made the entire photo process so smooth and it never felt like awkward posing. Danielle did a great job at capturing every important detail and piece of the timeline. It’s been so enjoyable to relive the day from start to finish through her work. We hired Danielle for the 10 hour package and would highly recommend if the getting ready shots and the drunk, fun dance party shots are just as equal importance! I could not recommend her enough - she did the best job!"

"Danielle photographed our wedding in August of 2024 and truly working with her was one of the best decisions we made. The communication and attention to detail she had was wonderful; she met with us several times to discuss the process, to go over the wedding day timeline, and just helped make sure everything would be stress-free. Not only were the photos themselves absolutely stunning, but we also got our sneak peak the next day and our full wedding album within 2 weeks! Danielle was so easy to work with, fun, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. I cannot recommend her enough!"

"I felt like Danielle was ‘in our corner’."
I spent an entire weekend researching photographers and ended up on Danielle for the following reasons— 1) she immediately set up a zoom when we submitted an inquiry. It showed us that getting to know us was important 2) she worked with us on creating a package that made sense for our wedding. It wasn’t the strict packages we saw on other sites 3) she made us feel comfortable and confident 4) her pictures are incredible— the perfect mix of lifestyle and traditional.
I would recommend Danielle to anyone. She is kind, fun to work with, professional, and provides incredible work. We will be reaching out to her for the next big moment we want to capture.

I cannot say enough about how amazing Danielle is! She’s was easy to connect with and readily available whenever I needed to reach out. She is friendly and funny and makes posing and taking a million pictures a breeze. The photos she takes are simply stunning. I have received so many compliments on my photographs from my engagement and wedding. She captures the moment and makes it feel authentic and real. On top of that I was shocked at how quickly she was able to get the pictures out! I’ve know people who have waited months to get their pictures back, but with Danielle, it was weeks. I recommend her to everyone who asks! Thank you so much Danielle for capturing our day so perfectly!!

Where do I even begin to express how much it was pleasure to work with Danielle. Danielle’s fun, relaxing, relatable, and down-to-earth personality creates such an amazing environment. Every session her creativity took even the simplest of situations and produced out of this world results; everything from photos to communication felt so natural. Capturing breathtaking moments for me and my wife Allyson, from our engagement session to our wedding/ceremony, that we will remember forever. We cannot thank and recommend Danielle enough. Simply put, Danielle is the absolute best and we will definitely be back for any future photography sessions.

Danielle is such a delight to work with! She is warm and kind, while giving clear direction to capture the perfect photo. She made my husband and I (he doesn’t like having his photo taken) feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout our experiences with her doing our engagement and wedding photography, which reflected in the gorgeous photos she captured. She is such a pleasure to work with, and I can’t rave about her enough!

"Danielle photographed our two-day Hindu/American wedding in September 2023. I spent an entire weekend researching photographers and ended up on Danielle for the following reasons— 1) she immediately set up a zoom when we submitted an inquiry. It showed us that getting to know us was important 2) she worked with us on creating a package that made sense for our wedding. It wasn’t the strict packages we saw on other sites 3) she made us feel comfortable and confident 4) her pictures are incredible— the perfect mix of lifestyle and traditional.
Leading up to our wedding Danielle was responsive and kept in touch. She booked our engagement shoot a few months prior. We decided to do something different and have our shoot in our home. She was completely up for it and created our vision. They are so special to us.
For both of our wedding days I felt like Danielle was ‘in our corner’. She made it all about us and made sure we got all of the photos we wanted. She worked well with our vendors and difficult family members.
I would recommend Danielle to anyone. She is kind, fun to work with, professional, and provides incredible work. We will be reaching out to her for the next big moment we want to capture."
