I've photographed over 100 weddings and elopements in Colorado and beyond since 2018, so you can trust that I've got you covered! I know when to step in to help guide you, and when to step back to capture those amazing candid moments.
On your wedding day, I'm the calming presence you need when your nerves are high, and the hype girl getting your wedding party pumped up for fun group photos. I'm the human wrangler, making sure your family members are around when we need them.
I use a mix of guided posing and a photojournalistic, documentary approach to capture all the special moments on your wedding day, big and small. I'll be there with you all day, from getting ready, til people start showing off their hilarious, cocktail-fueled dance moves. You can rest assured knowing that the effort you put into creating your wedding day will be well worth it, and you'll remember your special day with timeless images that you and your family will cherish forever.
I don't just show up on your wedding day, take some photos, and leave. I hype you the heck UP before you walk down the aisle. I get DOWN on the dance floor with you. I take silly photos with you in the photo booth. That's because to me, you're not just "another client." To me, you're a friend. I take time to get to know you, so that on your wedding day, I'm genuinely excited to celebrate with you, and watch with happy tears in my eyes as you start this incredible journey in life with your soulmate.
Not just your photographer.
Your hype girl, your memory documenter, your new best friend

I was born and raised in Connecticut, but a love of travel and creativity has carried me much farther throughout my life. Spending lots of time in Cape Town, South Africa (where my mom is from) while growing up taught me a deep love and appreciation for wildlife, the outdoors, and diverse cultures.
I knew I wanted to become a professional photographer while traveling through South East Asia for a few months in 2017. Traveling through Nepal, Cambodia, and Thailand got me absolutely hooked on portrait and landscape photography.
I moved to Denver, Colorado at the beginning of 2020 so that I could spend more time hiking, exploring the beautiful west, and to focus on photographing elopements and weddings in the gorgeous mountains of Colorado!
Every different location and every couple brings out new aspects of my creativity, and this job fuels my soul in ways I can't describe!
My creativity is immediately sparked when I see love in people’s eyes, and when I am surrounded by mountains, trees, and water.

Dani made us feel so comfortable and all of our photos truly show our personalities. She’s seriously the only person I’ll let take professional photos for any of our future needs!!

Dani put us at ease and perfectly captured our most natural and intimate moments. She gave us the direction we needed while still allowing us to be ourselves. Dani is not only incredibly talented, but a lovely person to be around making the experience that much more enjoyable.
