WELCOME TO PAXTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY


I document weddings with intention, emotion, and an eye for the moments that matter most. Because your day isn’t just about how it looked—it’s about how it felt.

The quiet in-between moments. The deep breaths. The laughter you didn’t expect. Based in Southern California and Michigan, we capture weddings in a way that feels honest, effortless, and timeless—so you can relive it all for years to come.

Hello, I am Danyel.


Southern California–based wedding photographer with a heart for storytelling and an eye for true color. Having photographed over 100 weddings, I’ve learned that every celebration carries its own rhythm, beauty, and emotion. My goal is to preserve that feeling to create images that take you right back to the laughter, the tears, and the moments that made your day uniquely yours. Beyond capturing stunning photos, I’m there to fix your veil, calm your nerves, bring you a drink, and remind you to soak it all in. Because your wedding day isn’t just an event it’s a celebration of everything you’ve dreamed of, and you deserve to feel every bit of it.I feel honored when I am invited & able to witness such an important moment in your life, let alone document it. I truly value the personalized experience you will receive in addition to the quality of your final images. I am here to help provide you guidance & ease when it come to your photography

"Danyel was one of my favorite people to work with for our wedding. She was more than a photographer, she was a listening ear, a brainstormer and a friend throughout the planning process leading up to the big day. She made it fun and had a very calming and patient energy while honoring our timeline and ensuring we were on schedule. I highly suggest adding on her husband as a second shooter, they compliment each other so well and genuinely had the best time working together and making sure our wedding picture"

“You can truly feel how much Danyel loves photography in every photo she takes. She doesn’t just snap pictures, she captures real moments, real emotions, and all the little details you didn’t even know you’d want to remember. Her passion shines through in her work, and it made our session feel effortless, fun, and personal. 

  

If you’re looking for someone who puts their heart into their work, she’s the one. So grateful for her and her eye behind the camera!
