Storytelling on film, digital, and Super 8
Northern California Wedding & Family Photographer
more about me
For couples who care about heirlooms, not just highlights — and want their people and their love story remembered exactly as it felt. I’m based in Chico, California and photograph weddings throughout Northern California and beyond, including Mendocino, Marin, Healdsburg, Sonoma County, San Francisco, and the greater Bay Area. Travel is included for most Northern California locations. Whether you’re getting married on the coast, in the redwoods, or on your family’s land, I’d love to tell your story.
MEET DANI
MALKA + DAVEY
Dani was an incredible photographer for our wedding and celebrations leading up to it. She made everyone feel so comfortable and effortless in capturing the special moments, and as a result these are the most cherished photos of our life!
Dani was so communicative, and receptive to all the inspiration we shared for our photos brought the magic to life.
MEGAN + LARS
If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will capture every breathtaking, emotional, and downright wild moment of your big day, look no further than Dani!
From the moment she arrived, Dani was everywhere—yet never intrusive—documenting every detail, every tear, and every laugh. She has an incredible eye for those in-between moments, the ones you don’t even realize are happening until you see the photos and are transported right back.
SARI + LAURA
The photos we got back were objectively stunning--vibrant, intentional, and emotional. And the two were genuinely invested in our wedding day, following us around and making sure we were doing well and having a good time.
After getting our photos back, we spent days agonizing over which photos to print for ourselves because we genuinely loved them all. We feel so lucky to have worked with Dani and Maverick.
I shoot a blend of film and digital, and offer Super 8 films for couples who want their memories to move, not just sit in a folder.
Many of my couples become family clients over time — from engagements to weddings to growing families — creating a living archive of their story.
My husband Maverick often joins me as a second shooter and Super 8 filmmaker, bringing an extra layer of care and coverage to your day.
