She is such a pro but also an incredibly kind and thoughtful person to work with.
Her relaxed yet upbeat attitude made us feel like nothing could go wrong.
She brings a joy and comfort to the experience, leaving us all walking away saying how easy and fun that was.
What past couples Are Saying
I have experience shooting at a variety of venues, and I haven’t been to yours specifically. But any good photographer that knows lighting, time of day, venue cooperation, and aesthetic will have a great idea about what will be needed for optimal coverage in any venue. I also arrive early to walk your venue, assess the weather, time the sunset, and connect with the venue if they need any clarification.
Have you been to our venue before? Will you visit in advance to figure out the best shots?
Frequently Asked Questions
Engagement sessions are relaxed and fun! I guide you with easy, natural prompts to help you feel comfortable and interact with one another. I don’t need you to interact with me and my camera. That feels unnatural, and has never been my approach. If the weather isn’t cooperating, I’m happy to reschedule to ensure you get beautiful photos as well.
the engagement shoot. Will you be prompting us on how to pose? What if the weather is not on our side, can we reschedule?
I focus on storytelling over trends. Instead of creating something overly polished or posed, I craft imagery that feels nostalgic, emotional, and timeless — blending real-time moments with intentional movement and cinematic pacing. Every couple’s story is different, and your photos and video should feel like you, not a template.
What makes your wedding films and photos different from others?
As soon as you can (!) especially for popular dates. Once you inquire, we’ll connect to make sure we’re the right fit, talk through your vision (including how your dog fits into it all), and build coverage that feels aligned and stress-free. If it feels like a “yes,” I’ll take care of the rest so you can focus on enjoying every moment.
When should we reach out, and what happens after we inquire?
I use to! During COVID I would hire a trusted videographer to capture the video footage while I guided the coverage with photography. I would edit everything afterwards. This started to become more of a managing role on a wedding day, and though I love doing BOTH I prefer to be hired for one service at a time. I produce my best work this way!
do you have a package for both photo and video?
I’m there to capture your wedding day, not to plan or run it. That said, I absolutely weigh in on your schedule to make sure there’s optimal time for what matters most to you—your top priorities, meaningful moments, and any must-have photo or video coverage. I’m always happy to review timelines, offer insight on lighting and flow, and ensure your photo list fits comfortably into the day.
Do you help plan and run our wedding day timeline?
I’m based in East York and happily serve weddings across Ontario within a 60km radius—including everything from the GTA to Niagara, Prince Edward County, and up into the Ottawa Valley. I also have a special place in my heart for my hometown of Ingersoll and gladly offer coverage within a 60km radius of that area.
"Danica captured our day perfectly and she was such a pleasure to work with. The entire day was seamless in terms of communication & guiding us through our portraits, first look & ceremony. It was like we had known her for years. She also loves Taylor Swift & dogs which is a mega bonus. The quality & quantity of her photos surpassed our expectations. We will definitely be booking her for all of our future milestones."
