Questions

frequently asked

I’m located in Virginia, but my willingness to travel for my couples knows no bounds. You tell me where and I’m there! When we set up our first chat, we’ll discuss potential travel fees. 

As someone who has maybe too many film cameras, I do incorporate a good blend of film and digital photography for my couples. And I’ll always match my digital photographs to the film shots for consistency. 

This is entirely up to you! Engagement shoot photos offer fun and romantic images for your save-the-dates, invitations, website registries, guest books, framed prints for your guest table, bar, and your home, and of course social media! Plus, it's a chance to get in a little practice in front of the camera before your big day and it gives us an opportunity to get to know each other. :)

Personally, I recommend it. You won’t be engaged forever - make the most of it!

This might start getting a bit technical, but I personally use a Canon R5 and R6 with prime lenses. Both are on me at all times throughout your wedding day so I never have to worry about changing lenses, switching memory cards, or changing batteries - because every moment matters! 

I also have a plethora of film cameras and gear, which will also accompany me throughout your wedding day!

Totally! You can order them right through your online gallery once you’ve given thought to which ones are your absolute faves that you want up on your walls or in your albums!

If you’re ready to move forward, complete the form above! I’ll be in touch to set up a time for us to chat about your day, and I’ll answer any questions that you have. If it’s a go, I’ll send you a proposal, and once you sign, your date officially goes into my book!

Hey, I’m Danielle —

Having worked as a wedding, engagement, and family photographer for over a decade, I’ve not only mastered how to take killer photos with any camera, win over any grumpy grandpa, and — I’ve also become the expert in giving my clients tangible memories to look back on for a lifetime, and accidentally becoming best friends.

(As long as they don’t hug me. I’m a strictly casual-back-pats-only kind of girl.)

and I’m practically a wedding photography senior citizen.
