Mountain Elopement Photographer. Experience Curator.
Meet your photographer, dani.
Mountain elopements & micro weddings, from the Rockies to the Smokies
I’ve always felt at home outdoors; the smell of pine, the sound of wind in the trees, the way the mountains remind you how small you are in the best way.
With a degree in Fine Art Photography and over a decade behind the camera, I know how to turn fleeting, magical moments into memories you’ll treasure forever. Pair that with my love for exploring wild places and connecting with people, and you get a photographer who’s just as comfortable hiking a trail as I am guiding you through portraits.
Your day isn’t just about the big moments. It’s about the little ones, too. The way your partner looks at you when no one else is watching, the laughter that leaves you breathless, the quiet in-between moments. I’m here to capture it all - the big, the small, and everything in between - so you’ll always remember how it felt.
Let’s create a day that’s not only beautifully photographed, but full of connection, joy, and the kind of magic you’ll want to relive again and again.

"I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough. We knew our wedding had to match our vibe — peace & quiet, nature and just us. I can't tell you how many adventure elopement pages I sifted through, looking for someone who would allow us freedom to explore candidly and put our boots really to the ground. Danielle from the start was warm, inviting, professional, and had lots of tips to help us. The quiz she sent us when we first booked helped us narrow down what we were truly looking for. It was worth every penny to scrap the big fancy wedding and have this day, this hike, to ourselves in our own little world in the trees."

"Danielle is the definition of amazing. My husband and I decided we wanted a small intimate wedding, but didn't have any idea where to start. She does all the heavy lifting so you don't have to. She takes your vision and helps find the perfect location, and when the perfect location falls through she finds another even better location. Dani made planning a wedding from 1,000 miles away feel easy. She shared pictures of the locations, vendor recommendations, timeline ideas, and insider information. She was a built-in meteorologist, wedding coordinator, timekeeper, hiking companion and oh yeah she is also taking the most beautiful pictures."

"Danielle has been an above and beyond photographer to us! She took both our engagement and wedding photos, and they all came out gorgeous and one-of-a-kind. She made us feel at ease and made sure to capture every delicate, loving moment. She knew how to pose us perfectly and knew exactly what we were looking for. She has a true talent for making even someone like me, who typically feels awkward in photos, feel totally natural. Seriously, if I could keep her as our personal photographer, I would. Thank you Dani for being so amazing to us!"
