About

My goal as a wedding photographer is to deliver more than just beautiful, bright photos of your day. I want each of my couples to walk away with an experience that makes them feel and look as natural and in love as they feel with each other.

That is why I make sure to walk you through each step of the process –– from designing your engagement session, to outlining the timeline of the day, to posing and guiding you through your entire day. This is such a joyous time in your life and your photos should reflect that!

The moment when you and the love of your life become one is so incredibly special. So is making sure that you're able to share your joy and excitement with all of your friends and family! That's why I work tirelessly with you to make sure that after we have talked through every detail of your day, I provide an experience on the day of that provides excitement to keep energy high and comfort when things may not go as planned. You spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than anyone else so my mission is to be the person that is exactly what you need when you need it.

All packages include a complimentary engagement session, 8 hours of wedding day coverage, a second photographer and an online gallery full of all your high-resolution digital images to download, print, and share.

Bridal sessions and custom, handcrafted keepsake albums are at an additional cost.

Breathtaking 💞

Dakota is none less than amazing! I have watched her photography from the beginning & she has truly some of the best photos around. My daughter Hannah is one of her Senior spokesmodels and all I can say is WOW. The pictures she has captured so far are amazing. She also recently photographed my sons wedding and every photo she took was breathtaking. She loves what she does and puts her whole heart into each photo shoot. If you are looking for a photographer for ANY events I promise you will not be disappointed in Dakota! 💞

Ah-maz-ing

I can’t express how much I love Dakota! Her photos are so gorgeous and she is very talented! She made my husband and I comfortable in front of the camera (we are not pictures takers lol) She is so sweet and I couldn’t have picked anyone better! I knew from when I first got engaged that she was going to be out photographer and I’m so glad that we were able to book with her! During the day of she immediately got to work. She stayed on schedule and got every photo that we wanted! Seriously if you don’t hire her after looking at her photos, your crazy! She is honestly the best!
