HI, I’M DANIELLA =)
The feeling of holding onto a memory—of pressing pause—is something I’ve been obsessed with for as long as I can remember.
Growing up, I was the friend who brought my tiny digital camera everywhere. Middle school lunch tables, themed parties, random trips to the mall—I documented everything. My Facebook albums? They’re a time capsule of the ordinary and extraordinary moments that made up my life.
When I turned 21, I finally got my hands on my first “real” camera—after years of begging for one! From that moment on, I took it everywhere. I convinced my friends to model for me, experimented endlessly, and eventually stumbled across a wedding photography course that changed everything.
The idea of documenting love—the kind of love that fills a room, makes people laugh-cry, and brings generations together—lit something up in me. I wasn’t just drawn to the couple’s love story, but the energy of an entire room full of people who showed up just to celebrate them. The collective joy, the nervous anticipation, the natural moments of connection. That’s the magic I never want to stop chasing!
THAT STAYS

YOUR WEDDING DAY MOVES
A little about me
forever.
JUST A THEATRE-LOVING, SNOW-LOVING GIRL WHO LOVES TO DOCUMENT LIFE'S MOST ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY MOMENTS
Just so blessed she captured our day in the most beautiful way! I will always recommend her because she loves what she does and the photos show it!!

Let's just start off with how organized this incredible woman is! She might as well have been our wedding planner. I didn't know anyone who had her as a photographer, we were in different states but she made everything SO easy.

If I could give a 10 star review, I would. Daniella took the time to get to know my bridal party's names and their relationships which my bridal party loved because it felt so personable. Daniella created a color coded picture schedule which helped make the group pictures quick and painless. When I want to relive the moment her pictures remind me of every single detail of the day I truly love it. She loves what she does and you can see it the amazing photos she takes. By the end of the night she was FAMILY!

It was the best day of our lives and you were very much part of why it was SO PERFECT for us!!

Being highly emotional, sensitive, and sentimental has sharpened my ability to see moments before they even happen. I observe quietly, always anticipating, always ready.
I know what it feels like to be camera shy, which is why my priority is making you forget there’s a lens at all. I don’t force emotions. I don’t stage fake moments. I just document you, in your element, living in a moment you’ll never get back.
Through an observant, curious, and deeply intentional approach, I document weddings in a way that lets you stay fully immersed in your day while I create a time capsule of raw, electric memories that will last for generations.
Ditch the rules, or don’t. Make it your own. No judgment here.
I fell hard. Not for the picture-perfect details, but for the raw emotion that comes with a day like this.
I’m a deeply sentimental person, the kind who gets emotional over old family photos and believes that even the most ordinary moments will be priceless one day. It’s probably why my work is so deeply rooted in human connection. I don’t just want to snap pretty pictures—I want to bottle up feelings.
At the end of the day, photos aren’t just visuals. They’re time capsules. And when your great-grandkids stumble across your wedding album decades from now, I want them to feel what your day was like—like they were there, dancing beside you.
That’s why my approach is different. It’s not about staging a picture-perfect wedding day. It’s about capturing the one that actually happened—the way it felt, the way it moved, the way it lived.
What if I could document not just everyday life, but the biggest, most joy-filled, history-making days of people’s lives?
I don’t choreograph your love or make you relive the same moment 12 times for the “perfect shot.” Instead, I observe with intention. I watch for the way your partner looks at you when they think no one else is watching. I notice the hands that reach for yours instinctively. The tight hugs that linger. The tears that get wiped away quickly, before anyone sees.
When you look back at your photos, I want them to feel like you—not a performance, not a Pinterest board recreation, not a forced version of your love story. Just you, as it happened, as it felt.
I move through the day like a quiet observer, blending in with your people, soaking up the energy, and anticipating the moments that matter most. But make no mistake—I’m fully in it with you. If you need a hype-woman? I’ve got you. If you need someone to subtly remind you to breathe? That’s me. If you need a human buffer from Aunt Linda’s unsolicited advice? Consider it handled.
My Approach? It’s Simple.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably deep into a story-driven video game (Uncharted 4 is elite), nerding out over finance, because yes, I fully believe in building a life of freedom, or watching The Office for the millionth time.
If I see anyone cry, real life or TV, I cry along. I don't even try, it just happens!
