You have one beautiful life and story to tell.
For you — the adventurous, in love, visionaries, and creatives who envision an experience and images that tell your story with truth, depth, and emotion. You deserve images that will not only last a lifetime, but images that will capture the moments that are honest and most importantly, yours.
a note from Dani
It is so nice to meet you. Based in beautiful California, I am a wedding and portrait photographer and serve much of this golden state and beyond. When I’m not drifting throughout the coast, I’m meeting exceptional people in love, traveling the world, and capturing authentic and beautiful moments with you, your friends, and family. With a love for romantic minimalism, meaningful experiences, organic elements, and beautiful color palettes, I love uncovering the unspoken and joy-filled subtleties that unfold throughout your day. I am so honored you have found yourself here, and I would love more than anything to hear all about your wonderful story and the wedding you are so thoughtfully creating.

Kate and Dan’s modern al fresco wedding in Palm Springs was full of fresh greenery, fruit trees and herb gardens, mid century elements, and romantic minimalism. Planned by After the Engagement, the space came together beautifully with stained wood accents, micro-Eucalyptus foliage, a variety of classic white florals, and a luxury band whose music set the tone all night.

Rae & Erik met at the beginning of the pandemic through an online dating app. They spent countless dates in these mountains, as Erik is a wildland firefighter and has access to the most beautiful trails. Erik proposed to her in a wild apple orchard — a nod to her love and career in agriculture. We returned for their engagement session, and had the most beautiful session, full of golden grass and tall pine trees.

"Dani has rendered me speechless. I've waited and watched friends get married, hoping my time would come. Now that it's here, I want to remember every moment. I knew she took beautiful photos, but she captured our love. My goodness, these are more than beautiful, they are magical."
