A little about me
I'm a popcorn-loving, rain-dancing, travel-chasing wedding photographer based in Reno/Tahoe. Plants and polaroids are my love language, and there’s never a day without music playing somewhere in the background.
When it comes to photography, I'm all about documenting love the way it really unfolds—messy, beautiful, loud, quiet, and always real. I photograph with intention, not just to make pretty pictures, but to preserve the feeling of your day. The hand squeezes. The deep breaths. The dance floor chaos. All the moments you don’t realize are becoming memories until you look back at them and feel everything all over again.
Whether you're saying "I do" in your own backyard or halfway across the world, I’ll be there—fully in it with you. Napa vineyards, Hawaiian waterfalls, Scottish highlands—wherever your love takes you, I’m there to photograph it honestly, artfully, and with my whole heart.
Here for your real moments, your big feelings, and every wild little in-between.

Are you the PB to my Jam? Let's talk!
I got into photography because I never loved how I looked in front of the camera. I’d pick myself apart, find something to critique in every photo. So I started volunteering to be behind the lens instead—to hide, honestly. But something shifted. Being the one holding the camera gave me the chance to hype people up the way I wish someone had done for me. I got to help people see themselves the way I saw them—confident, radiant, effortlessly cool.
And somewhere along the way, that changed how I saw myself, too.
Now, this job is about so much more than snapping pretty photos. It’s about holding space for the real stuff—joy, nerves, belly laughs, quiet in-between moments—and preserving it all with intention. Because when you look back at your photos, I want you to remember exactly how it felt to be in that moment, with the people you love, feeling your best.
Helping you feel good in your own skin is goal no.1. I want you to look at a photo of yourself and think "HOT DAMN!! I look good!"

I'm not just here to show up and snap pretty photos—I’m here to witness your day and document it with care, start to finish. The loud moments, the quiet ones, and everything in between.
From the first inquiry to your final gallery delivery, I’m in your corner the whole way through (and yep—there will definitely be snacks involved). Before your wedding day, I’ve already been working with you and your planner to make sure things go off without a hitch. I usually roll in early, tea in hand, ready to ease nerves, give a little pep talk, and get the good vibes flowing. From there, we laugh, we cry (happy tears only), and we soak in every second—from getting ready to the last dance.
Whether it’s your wedding, your engagement, or a boudoir session, I’ll be there with my camera and my whole heart. I’ll hype you up when you need it, ground you when things feel chaotic, and capture the honest, messy, beautiful magic that makes your story yours.
From timeline tweaks to dance floor bangers—I’ve got you.

Dani took photos of my fiancé and I in the redwood forests of Big Sur and we are BLOWN AWAY with the pics!! Not only is she such a sweet human, but she captured mine and my fiancé’s playfulness and personality so well! I am so in love with the photos she took of us 😍 if you’re considering hiring Dani this is your sign!!!

Dani is AMAZING!!! She is not only extremely talented, she is also such a joy to be around. Every shoot I’ve done with her I’ve been blown away by the beautiful photos she takes. Also, she is extremely flexible and will to trudge through feet of snow to get the perfect shot. Could not recommend her more.
Drew & Mike
Dani was my wedding photographer, but when I say that it sounds wrong because she was SOOOOO much more than that! She went above and beyond for every little detail to ensure my day was relaxing and comfortable. Amazing price for the service and amazing photos. I truly love Dani and I will be recommending her forever and hopefully will be seeing her again for my maternity shoot. ❤️
