Hey, I'm Dana

done1.JPG

 When I’m not photographing adventurous, fun-loving people, you can find me hiking the Hudson Valley, hanging out with my friends, and running. 

 

Milkshakes and cats are my two primary love languages - just thought you should know.

I am known for my colorful, fun, and outdoorsy images and my clients say I make them feel like we are best friends. If you’re open to adventure, welcoming, and love laughing, we will probably be fast friends.

 

Weddings are my happy place, even when things don’t go perfectly. There is just something about two souls being tied together that makes me grin from ear to ear.  Weddings basically always put me in a good mood - and that good mood carries us together through the day.

 

My favorite TV binges are This Is Us, The Bachelor, Grey’s Anatomy, and Ellen. Be kind to one another.

 

Speed date: I’m obsessed with Thailand. Pinterest is mostly my friend for recipes. I’ll never get over the fact that I can’t grow over 5’2.  My favorite fair food is a 4-H milkshake, but I would love to not stand in line for an hour to get one - what kind of cruel joke is that? My formal photography background isn’t extensive, but I do have a background in Communication Disorders and Deaf Studies, and that kind of relates…right?

 

Oh, and I’m drinking a milkshake  as you’re reading this - naturally. 

Amazing: Cats, playing the violin/ piano, sparkles, laughs, the beach, summer, music, McDonald’s fries, friends, frozen margaritas, meaningful conversations, hiking, supportive people, thoughtfulness, drinking water, running, tanktops, sweatpants, singing in the shower, traveling, watching Youtube before bed, jewelry, Flaming Hot Cheetos, salmon.

 

Unamazing-  Spiders, flakey people, starring at your phone all day, salad, racism, selfishness, disrespect, burnt toast, salad, being cold when you get out of the shower, running out of your favorite foods, tailgating, driving in general, being late, soda, bad weather.

FRIENDSHIP

Thank you so so much for reaching out to me! From this day forward I want you to know that I am here to be your cheerleader and support system! I love creating friendships and that comfort and trust we build will reflect in your photos. I feel so honored when couples choose me to be by their side on their wedding day! I can’t explain how amazing that bond we form is! Just know that I am not only your photographer but your friend who is here to grab you that extra cup of coffee when you need it and I’ll be smiling ear to ear as I watch you celebrate your love for each other! 

CLIENT PORTAL

If we decide that we are a perfect match for each other you will immediately have access to a client portal. I love these portals because they help us both stay organized and it’s a super easy way to access all of the details related to your wedding day, how awesome is that! In your portal you will be able to sign contracts, make payments, access all of your forms, and download your prints / sharing release for your photos!

YOUR LOVE STORY

All of my full wedding packages include a complimentary engagement session! I love these sessions because they are focused solely on you! They help build excitement for your wedding day and it gives us a chance to work together before the big day! People find that engagement sessions help tackle any nerves they have when in front of a camera and make them more comfortable come wedding day! (If you think you are awkward in front of a camera don’t worry, EVERYONE feels this way at first). We’ll be joking around and I will be capturing all of the natural moments you guys share!

COMMMUNICATION

I am a firm believer that communication is important in all relationships! For this reason, I want you to feel comfortable reaching out to me at ANY point in your wedding planning process. I promise to answer within 24 hours! I will be keeping in touch leading up to your wedding day and making sure ALL of the details are covered so that you can rest easy knowing you have nothing to worry about!

WEDDING DAY

MOST importantly, your wedding day is about YOU and celebrating the love of your life! Obviously planning, partying, and seeing all your family and friends is important but nothing is more special than marrying the love of your life! I make sure to do my best in helping your day run as smoothly as possible while capturing memories that will last a lifetime. Time flies on your wedding day and I am here to freeze all of those small details that may have otherwise been forgotten!

DELIVERY

All photographs will be delivered via USB and online gallery within 3-6 months of your wedding day as well as a print release form. A print release allows you to print and share your images like crazy so you can be sure that all of your family and friends get to see them!

Every wedding is unique and for that reason, I offer add-ons upon request! If you want to add a few more hours of coverage or a wedding album that you don’t want to put together yourself, just ask!
