Your day won’t
be perfect. And     that’s exactly why
it will be perfect

Because you know what’s better than posed portraits? That one blurry-but-glorious shot of your best friend snort-laughing Prosecco through her nose. A sweaty forehead kiss on the dance floor. The way your voice cracked halfway through your vows because, yeah, this shit’s real.

Your day won’t be perfect. And     that’s exactly why it will be perfect

We’re not here for the magazine moments. We’re here to catch

We don’t shoot for Vogue. We shoot for 69-year-old-future-you in orthopedic shoes.

The hot mic vows.

The

The chaos of the day

& the weird and wonderful bits that made it all yours.

Because years from now,

It’ll be the ones that

feel like you.

The ones that remind you how it all really went down. 

The ones that say; we were here, we were in it, and damn, we had the best time.

The crooked boutonnière.

This whole thing started with some DMs and a lot of Diet Coke. Fast forward a few years, and now we shoot weddings side-by-side and finish each other’s sandwiches.

Yo-yo,

we're Dani + Jonathan

Dani’s the people person: a small talk queen and former grief therapist who knows how to make even the most camera-shy folks feel seen and celebrated. 

Jonathan’s the quiet creative force behind the lens—an audio wizard who catches what others miss, then edits it all together with care, curiosity, and a killer ear for music.

We’re here for the messy bits. The zesty bits. The deep-feeling, can’t-believe-this-is-real bits.  Whether you hire us for photo, video, or both, our goal is the same: to create something that’s as honest, beautiful, and alive as your love story.

03/ and here for the whole damn story.

We’re not afraid of a little emotional whiplash. One minute it’s a deep, gulping tear. The next, it’s a full-body laugh at a toast gone wildly off-script. We’ve got a sixth sense for the real moments. Between Dani’s people magic and Jonathan’s hot-mic intuition, we’re here to catch the things that matter most:

Big on

03/ and here for the whole damn story.

Less posing, more playing. Less fake champagne sprays, more actual joy. We’ll keep things easy, give you space to be yourselves, and gently guide you when needed (like when your cousin won’t stop doing finger guns in every photo). Real is always better than perfect. Always.

Low on

Bullshit

From the first email to the final gallery, we’re in it with you. We’ll learn your quirks, your playlist, your dog’s name. We care about the energy leading up to the day, the little moments in between, and how this chapter becomes part of your bigger story.

Confident, relaxed, positive, & an infectious energy that will have everyone at ease and bring out nothing but natural joy in your photos and videos.. We cannot say enough positive things about Dani and Jonathan! Everything about the experience of working with them was so fun, exciting, and easy. The albums and videos they delivered perfectly captured the love and energy from our day. We literally can’t stop looking at and watching them! We would recommend them in a heartbeat. They are beyond good and completely blew us away.

"Their vibe is exactly what you want on your wedding day"

— Sydney & Jordan​

I cannot and will not ever be able to thank you enough for giving me this to cherish forever. I could not ask for anything more. This is exactly what I wanted and am so blessed to have this. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!!!”

“I am BALLING my eyes out watching this video!!!

— Sara & Texas

She was the best energy on our wedding day. Dani became our friend, as evidenced by my maid of honor saying on our wedding day, ‘your photographer is like your friend!’ She took the time to get to know us."

“We love Dani and would hire her 1M times over.
