Casa Real Wedding; Danya is AMAZING!

We are SO SO SO happy we went with Danya as our wedding photographer!!!

We found Danya on IG and when we saw her work and we knew we wanted her as our photographer. We love her bright, airy, and whimsical photography style as it perfectly matched the aesthetic we were going for for our wedding.

After speaking with Danya on the phone, it solidified our decision; we loved how fun, easy going, and willing she was to answer each one of our many questions.

Our first in-person meeting was during our engagement shoot and she was AMAZING to work with. My husband and I are not very photogenic to say the least and she was able to pose us like we knew what we were doing!!! She was incredibly descriptive and ensured each limb was in the right position. Danya was so patient and made us feel so comfortable! The entire experience and environment was fun and relaxing! This made us so excited and less stressed out to shoot with Danya and her team for our wedding day!

As for the wedding, we really appreciated that we were able to fill out a questionnaire before the wedding with what shots we wanted. So Danya knew exactly what we wanted the day of the wedding. There was no confusion or questions asked and it was just go-go-go the day of and everything went so smoothly.

We started the wedding day with a shoot at the hotel. We did some bridal and groom photos and did some flat lays as well. The flat lays were so artistically placed and now able view all the keep sakes i.e wedding cards, jewelry, in a photo!

As for the wedding itself, Danya was not only a photographer that day, but also a conductor! She was able to command multiple groups of rowdy family and friends with ease and poise. Our wedding photos came out BEAUTIFULLY and our family and friends still rave about it to this day! Again, Danya is an expert in describing what each person needs to do to get these amazing shots. She simply does not come to merely point and shoot during a wedding; her photos are carefully but efficiently curated when possible and it absolutely reflects in her work.

Lastly, I wanted to mention that I started getting nervous during our sunset photos, just due to all the wedding attention and jitters; but Danya was able to calm me down. She was able to remind me that we are just having fun and started to joke around and somehow got my mind off the whole thing. Danya is so empathetic in nature and this made me feel so happy that we decided to go with her. Sometimes folks forget that the bride and groom are human too, and it was nice to have someone there to be an advocate for us during the wedding.

Overall, Danya was worth every single penny and she is a TRUE GEM in the wedding industry! Her artistic eye and strong directional skills made our photos look out of this world!! I smile every time I see our engagement and wedding photos :)!

We cannot WAIT to print and put our wedding photos all over our house!

We LOVE you Danya and we cannot wait to work with you again!!!

Nella Terra Wedding

Danya is an incredible photographer and so amazing to work with! She photographed another family wedding in 2019 and we loved her work and decided to hire her for our wedding at Nella Terra. She is extremely professional but also really relatable, easy to work with, and just fun to talk to and be around :) She always came prepared for our pre-wedding meetings and knew our venue inside out and was very attentive to all the small details laid out in our wedding timeline. She worked seamlessly with our other vendors and gave us great tips and guidance during our photoshoots. Also, if you have a dog that you would like to be a part of your engagement or wedding photos, she is the perfect photographer! She was great with our very hyper pup and was able to get some amazing shots of the three of us. Her photos are framed all around the house and we could not have asked for a better photographer for our special day! We hope to keep her in the family for all future photo shoots :)

Hire Danya!

Hire Danya! She took our engagement and wedding photos and did an amazing job. When my wife and I were first researching photographers, Danya’s portfolio definitely stood out. Her style is very bright, modern, and timeless. We also noticed that even in big group photos, no one was blinking (we noticed other photographers’ portfolios had at least one person blinking). After receiving all of our wedding photos, which took a little over six and a half weeks, they exceeded our expectations!
Danya is the perfect mix of bubbly and professional. My wife and I agree that she is someone that we can hang out and grab Boba with. It is important that you are comfortable with your photographer when doing your engagement session and she made it so much fun! On top of that, she provides high quality work as well as guidance. We asked for her input on a lot of aspects of our wedding that were not photo related such as timeline, flower arrangements, layout of our tables, etc. She provided amazing insight and she really did care about having the perfect wedding for us.
She is very responsive and relieved a lot of our stress because she is reliable, trustworthy and easy to work with.
