Meet Danielle
Consider a tapestry—woven not with cloth, but with experiences. Composed of stories, spaces, and all the moments in between. Simultaneously sentimental and unexpected, bound together by both the timeless and the beauty of a fleeting instance.
This, I believe, is the texture of your wedding day—a milestone on one of the most compelling journeys you’ll ever take. Photos taken with purpose, I seek out the unscripted, the brief—but extraordinary—moments that define days and last a lifetime.
My work is driven by movement of the heart, deeply rooted in family, and inspired by the land. It’s my connection to stories, my faith in something old and something new, that fuels my creativity and keeps a camera in my hands for more than 15 years. Photographing weddings and portraits in Vail, Aspen , Telluride, Denver and everywhere in between. I cannot imagine a more beautiful way to fill my days.
Background + Approach
Danielle's background includes commercial art school, where she learned the technical skills of professional photography, as well as fine art school, where she honed in on her aesthetic.
She photographed her first wedding in 2001 on a Hasselblad 500cm and hand-developed and printed everything in her home darkroom. Technology is constantly transforming the art of photography, but Danielle will always retain a note of nostalgia. She still shoot film along with digital for each event, for timeless photos that perfectly blend our past with the present.
Colorado-based since 2005, where she is beyond lucky to be surrounded by never-ending natural beauty. Though the West has captured her heart, Danielle will happily follow the creative call to collaborate with clients all over the US. Danielle's weddings have taken her from coast to coast and everywhere in between, and you can find work published both locally and nationally.

Danielle is one of the most genuine, kind, and thoughtful photographers I have ever met. The first time we met Danielle, we were both struck by her calm nature and ability to create natural images that depicted true love and joy.
Danielle was calm, organized, and attentive to each person and moment we wanted her to capture, without being overbearing in the least. She effortlessly captured beautiful moments for us and I know she will for others just the same.

She is warm and easy to be around so even the most camera-shy of individuals feel comfortable and at ease.
Finding Danielle was an absolute blessing! Danielle goes above and beyond for her clients by taking the time to get to know them even before they make the initial booking. By the time you are standing in front of her camera, you already feel like you have a friend for life. She is warm and easy to be around so even the most camera-shy of individuals (shoutout to my husband) feel comfortable and at ease around her.
