"I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough. When my husband proposed in the Smoky Mountains, we both immediately knew that our wedding had to match our vibe- our vibe being peace & quiet, nature and just us. Colorado provided the perfect backdrop of the Rocky Mountain range, and a self-solemnizing marriage option. 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."

"Coming from sea level to the elevation in CO is no small task. Danielle made sure I was prepared as a bride, and we knew what we were taking on as hikers. The quiz that she sent us when we first booked with her helped us narrow down what it was we were truly looking for and what energy we were trying to capture. Danielle was so easy to get along with, and is truly a light. 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. It was truly the hike of a lifetime, and it would not have been the same, or as well documented without Danielle."

"My husband and I are from Minnesota and we made the decision to elope in Colorado. We hired Danielle as our photographer, and couldn’t be happier with how our pictures turned out! She was super helpful in the planning process, being a few states away during the planning process was difficult, but Danielle helped! Always a call or text away. The day before the wedding it had snowed, she went to scout our planned first look location. I’m so glad she did because it was covered in snow and that’s not the look we wanted. She helped us come up with a new plan quickly and executed it perfectly."

"We had the most wonderful experience with Danielle! She made us feel so comfortable and was so encouraging! My husband and I tend to be awkward when it comes to taking pictures but she had poses in mind that looked awesome and made us feel super confident! She was obviously also very open to our own ideas.
Danielle has the sweetest personality! If we ever need pictures again we would 100% hire her again!!"

"A plus sized bride's mountain dream wedding --- Let me tell that if you are thinking about using Danielle for your photographer just stop thinking! BOOK HER NOW and let her guide you for some amazing photos. I am being 100% honest that I like to have lists and know what's going on, but the best thing I did was entrusting her to guide us on what to do and how to do it. She is so knowledgeable and amazingly kind. I think the pictures speak for themselves on what you get if you put your trust in her and add in that she is so genuine the only way you will be disappointed is if you dont book her!"

"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!"
