MY NAME’S DANIELLA AND I’M A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN LONG ISLAND, new york
My passion for documenting love stories is fueled by life itself. Every milestone captured and stowed away to reminisce later in life. Photographs are invaluable to me. They preserve my childhood memories, my life adventures, moments with loved ones, and my past + present self.
At your wedding, you'll find me getting to know your closest peeps, fulfilling every photo request from your mom, and definitely singing along to any song I know on the dance floor.
When I'm not shooting, you can find me snuggled up in bed watching my (current) favorite Netflix show, hanging around the pool with friends + fam, or even location scouting the best hiking spots on Long Island.
My favorite images are actually the imperfect ones. Maybe a little blur, missed focus - anything that really sets the mood. My only ask is that you enjoy your big day and PARTYYY HARD!
Let's do this!
Here's my deal...
I really want to get to know you. Not the ‘you’ that you’re gonna try and show me upfront. The real you.
come on in & get cozy…
Here’s why I love shooting weddings. Every story is different from the one before. Each couple has their own quirks, their own rituals, their own secret love language. I live for uncovering those mysteries and capturing them in all their cozy, intimate beauty.
My aesthetic is heavily influenced by my love of movies. I’ll approach your day as if I’m making a documentary - I don’t want some vague impression, I want the full, epic story! I’m into mood over form, emotion over perfection and my favorite shots are ones of impromptu moments that speak to the individual magic of the day. The waterworks, the laughter, the midnight dancefloor shred you never knew Nana had in her...all the shots worth remembering, time and time again.
Each bond is unique, every connection its own.
This idea - love’s million different forms - is what inspires me more than anything. You might think it’s a lil’ boring to shoot weddings over and over. Aren’t they all the same? Hell no! To me at least, every single one represents a new experience and I will never get bored of witnessing love in motion.
If you can handle a side of queso with your new favorite wedding photographer, I also have to say that following my dream is a big big inspo for me. My passion for documenting wedding days comes from a desire to go against the grain, to carve my own path. It’s something I’m very proud and grateful to do. Maybe you can relate!
Above all though, as a candid wedding photographer in Florida, YOU are my inspiration. I want to give you a day you’ll never forget alongside photos you’ll cherish forever. And maybe, just maybe…a brand new friend to go along with them.
Beautiful … ;)
Jokes aside, I like to keep on the move throughout the big day, relying on my ears as much as my eyes. My mission is to make every single one of your guests comfortable with me, with zero pressure when I turn the camera on them (often, they won't even notice!). I don’t shout directions or demand poses. I’m all about the natural moments, the candid moments, the moments you don’t even realize are moments until you get your (hella cute) photos back and go, “Oh yeah, THAT moment.”
I make sure to capture your best angles, so don’t worry about looking beautiful; I’m on it and I can assure you, you do. From the first nervous lashings of mascara to Aunty Cath’s surprising swing dance skills, I’ll capture everything that makes your love story yours. So relax. I got you, babe.
As I mentioned already, it seems crying is one of my favorite things. I mean it must be, I do it so much. Any film or show with a semblance of emotion…BAM. I’m gone.
I’ll put the rest in handy bullet points so you can get to know your photographer without reading her biography…
➼ If I had to eat one snack for the rest of my life, it’d be Hal’s Sour Cream + Onion Chips, hands down. Like, it’s not even close.
➼ I believe that every single person deserves to be spoken to in their love language, even if their partner isn’t fully fluent in it (yet).
➼ I believe that direction is more important than speed. In both wedding photography and piloting. Life in general, really.
➼ Not a random fact, just a stone-cold reality - pineapple BELONGS on pizza. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
Most of all and ABOVE all of these, I love being a part of love stories like yours. You guys are the reason I do what I do. And I get it, I hardly know you. So how can I say you’re my raison d'etre?
Let’s just say I’ve got a feeling. A good one. So, now it’s your turn. Tell me every damn thing!! :)
“I collect human relationships very much the way others collect fine art.”
- Jerzy Kosinski
LOVE. THE CATALYST OF LIFE’S GREATEST STORIES.
Chronicle your unique bond with warm, candid wedding photography and a true friend behind the lens.
