Thank you for visiting my website! Before I get to the "official" bio, here are some fun facts about me: I love chocolate -- the good stuff -- and believe it should be consumed daily. I am a novice wine-maker, veteran softball player and coach, and enjoy snorkeling, travel, music, spiritual journeys, and watching my two dogs chase their tails. Most of all, I cherish the company of family and friends. With more than 20 years of experience as an award-winning photojournalist, I bring my passion for visual story-telling to every wedding. My coverage area includes all of New Jersey, NYC, and the tri-state area. Professional affiliations include National Press Photographers Association, WPJA, Professional Photographers of America, ASMP, and the Digital Wedding Forum. My philosophy is simple: I don't do much directing or posing, but prefer to let moments unfold naturally in true documentary style. I capture what you feel, and the result is a collection of poignant, unique images of your Wedding Day. What better gift to pass on to future generations?

"Dear Danielle, We could not be happier with our wedding pictures! You perfectly captured both the sacredness and joy of our ceremony and the fun and lively spirit of our reception. Moments both big and small did not escape your expert eye and we were so delighted to relive special moments between us and our guests as well as those between our guests that we had missed during the frenzy of the day. You somehow managed to make your presence so unobtrusive that we could completely engage in the specialness of each moment and each other without being preoccupied with how we may look. We were especially pleased with the variety of images you provided; ranging from candid shots that are testaments to your strong photojournalistic background to intimate portraits that exude old fashioned romance and demonstrate your artistic touch. We also greatly appreciated the calm collectiveness that you displayed throughout the day as you dealt professionally and patiently with people of variously different temperaments. If we were to relive the experience of getting married, there is not one element that we would change. With gratitude, Roz & Bernie" “Danielle's wedding photography is simply outstanding. Her journalistic approach to chronicling the big day yielded wonderful shots that my husband and I will cherish. She maintained a low profile that day, allowing us and our guests to visit and celebrate. What a refreshing change from disruptive photographers we've seen at other weddings. Afterward, Danielle presented us with a set of proofs that captured the big picture as well as the fine details. From the planning to the ordering of the albums, Danielle offered many options and great advice. I would highly recommend her to other brides and grooms.” - Jeannine C. "I'm sitting here going through the proofs one by one and all I can tell you is that they are outstanding. You did more than I ever could have imagined to capture our day. I'm in awe. Now that I have real, physical prints in my hands I can see so much better how so many tender moments of our wedding day are captured forever. I'm only halfway through, and I've seen so many gems, I'm sitting here smiling my head off. Your journalistic aesthetic was exactly what I wanted and hoped for. Thank you so much." - Merry & David "Danielle -- We're thrilled with the album! Thanks again for everything. We will recommend you to all of our marrying friends." - Will & Gina "Our intimate wedding required the professionalism, creativity and enthusiasm that Danielle has, she captured our wedding with exactly the style and grace we were looking for. Her passion for photography was captured through the images she took on our special day. We absolutely LOVE our album and could not have dreamed it to come out any more beautiful than it did. Danielle is a pleasure to work with and would recommend her a thousand times over! Thanks Danielle!" - Molly & Mike "Thanks very much, it was great having you there, you have really caught so many moments, especially the laughing and fun." - Meg & Steve "Danielle is a superb and consummate professional from start to finish. She took the time to understand who we are as a couple in addition to determining our preferences and priorities. Danielle also captured every moment of our celebration while, at the same time, being unobtrusive and very personable. Her years of experience as a photojournalist are easily seen in her pictures and the way she thoroughly documented our wedding day. We look forward to viewing our pictures and her work for years to come and would highly recommend her to other couples and to anyone who needs an event photographer." -Norm & Wendy
