Hi, I’m Danyel a wedding photographer based in Southern California and Michigan, but honestly… I’ll go anywhere love takes me.
Photography not just my job it’s my life. I get to document one of the most meaningful days you’ll ever experience, and I don’t take that lightly.
I’m the kind of photographer who will fix your veil, grab your grandma for a portrait before the night slips away, and quietly step back when the moment deserves silence. I care deeply about the in-between moments the tears from dads and stepdads, the wrinkled hands during prayer, the flower girl spinning when no one’s watching.
I specialize in full wedding day storytelling. My husband often shoots alongside me, which means you’re getting two people fully invested in capturing your day from every angle without it ever feeling overwhelming.
I travel often between Southern California and my hometown in Michigan, and I love using those trips to serve couples in both places.
At the end of the day, I’m laid-back but detail-oriented. I believe your wedding gallery should feel like you honest, emotional, beautiful, and timeless.
And I would be so honored to tell your story.
— Danyel
