If needed, I can help you decide how many hours of coverage you'll need for your day. Typically, I recommend booking 6 hours for more intimate weddings and 8 hours for more full day coverage. If you are still unsure of the amount of hours you need we can make it official by booking 6 hours of coverage, and add any additional hours once we have your wedding day timeline.

"Oh my where to start. Dana was absolutely amazing. The whole experience from our engagement shoot to the wedding day was just perfect. She made us laugh, made us feel comfortable and made sure everything was what we wanted. She was full of ideas and made us feel beautiful! I would give more stars if I could!! We are in love with every picture she has taken. If you are looking for a photographer for your special event look no further, she is it.

"Easy to work with, efficient, well prepared, is able to pick up and capture the big moments and small subtle moments, and is just a kind person"
"Dana is a truly awesome photographer, easy to work with, efficient, well prepared, is able to pick up and capture the big moments and small subtle moments, and is just a kind person who is just wonderful to be around. She's flexible and prepared in where we could get pictures for the engagement shoot, in our case she scouted out good locations for us all the way out in Cambria, CA. Lastly, she's incredibly quick with the turn-around of taking photos and releasing them for us to see. Highly recommend."

"Dana's photography of the surprise engagement was truly remarkable, capturing both the intimacy and the raw, spontaneous emotions of the moment. Her ability to seize fleeting expressions and the joyous atmosphere created a series of photos that are not only beautiful but also deeply personal. Each image tells a part of the story, making the entire collection a treasure to revisit and cherish. Thank you, Dana!!"
