Where real love stories are told like modern folklore
Non-traditional weddings for couples who break the mold
Not every wedding follows a traditional path. And not every couple sees themselves in popular wedding culture. You shouldn't feel like you need to shrink yourself to fit into traditions that were never meant for you. Your wedding should be dictated by what you love most.
As a Vermont photographer who specializes in non-traditional weddings, I understand how to capture a celebration that doesn't follow a typical format. I'm the person who will see you and honor you for who you are—someone who will champion your self-expression, celebrate your individuality, and embrace the quiet moments of a wedding day just as much as the loud ones.
Your life partner will see you for everything you are—through the good and the bad days for years to come. I am here to observe, and capture the intimacy and small moments that already exist in the silence between your words—to make every memory of your wedding day feel like magic.
celebrating what makes you unique
Wedding photography for couples who throw tradition out the window
What if instead of getting married in a stuffy ballroom with templated, cookie cutter experiences, you chose your own path for your day?
Your wedding day doesn't have to follow tradition to honor such an incredible milestone. The day should be about you and your favorite person, and the people you love most.
Whether it's getting married in your own backyard, or partying at your favorite local restaurant, I'm here to help you bring your vision to life.
Together, let's dream up a creative perspective that truly aligns with who you are and what you're passionate about, with the people who matter.
"Can we give more than five stars? Danielle is truly gifted at what she does. She played such an important role in our wedding day, keeping us calm while directing and capturing moments we will cherish forever. She was communicative and organized throughout the planning process. She sent a detailed itinerary of what photos she would be taking when, so we could relax and enjoy every second of our wedding. We adore our pictures and can't recommend her enough to anyone looking to capture a special day!"

If you're looking for an artist who will be thrilled about your unique vision and help you achieve it, that's me!
A filmmaker by training and a romantic at heart, I capture your day from a cinematic, moment-driven approach—providing a calm and grounding energy to keep you present, seeking out genuine emotion, and helping you create authentic experiences that make your photos feel exactly like you.
From the first time we meet, I want us to have a friendship based on trust and mutual values. I am the vendor you will be spending most of your wedding day with after all! From fixing stray hairs to holding your hand in stressful moments, I'm your "ride or die" for the entirety of your special day.
As someone who's captured over 100+ weddings, I'm here to help you through the entire planning process—providing guidance, support, and excitement. From unique photo opportunities to timelines that focus on intentional time spent with the people you love, I help take the stress out of planning by providing a curated experience that matches your vibe.
The folks I work with (aka, YOU!) are my number one priority—every aspect of my business is built to serve you so that on your wedding day you feel nothing but excitement, joy, peace, and presence.
While photography is my main focus, I am so much more than just your photographer. I am the firm defender of your vision, and the experienced guide for your journey.
"Danielle made sure every detail was perfect, yet it never felt like photos were staged."
"My husband and I are stunned by the experience and result of working with Danielle. I initially discovered her through Instagram, and fell in love with how she embraces color, drama, and authenticity in her work. From day one, she conversed with us to discover the vision we pictured for our wedding photos. Her communication was so clear and thorough, and made us think through components of our day we never would have considered!
On our big day, she was such a positive and joyful presence to have around. My dad remarked that she was such a calm and peaceful presence to have, and noted how amazing she was with the children and grandparents at the wedding.
Danielle truly embraces the fun and nerdy vibes of her couples. My favorite part of our experience with Danielle is when she pulled out the Witch King sword from Lord of the Rings, and asked if we would like a few shots involving the prop!
You can tell Danielle cares about her couples and the results of her work. You will receive candid, thoughtful, vibrant photos that look editorial; in the sense that you could pull them straight from a bridal magazine. I would encourage any couple to commit to Danielle as your photographer, as she will truly capture works of art that you can cherish for years to come."
I love offbeat celebrations and the quiet in-between moments
