"She went absolutely above and beyond... to find all the perfect spots and made us feel so comfortable the whole time! She also did such an amazing job at our wedding and ensured that we got PLENTY of photos all while allowing us to enjoy our wedding at the same time. We love her and will definitely be using her for the rest of our lives as our photographer!
"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!!"
"We felt at peace working with Dana prior to the big day because she walked us through everything step-by-step, prepared a detailed and personalized schedule for our big day, answered any questions we had, and we always felt reassured because she listened to our ideas and wanted what we wanted. It is rare today to find professionals with true passion and talent behind every inch of their work. she captured every beautiful moment of our day and turned our photos into masterpieces that we will cherish forever... we will never go anywhere else experiencing what she can do."
