  • Serves Alta, CA

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

I have always had a passion for photography and once I picked up a camera, it was all over. I was raised from a big family and my kids are my world! Born and raised in the Bay Area, I have a special love for being back there. I consider myself very outgoing and will always try and make you laugh and feel comfortable by being a huge dork. I think that is one of the biggest compliments I get is that my clients always feel relaxed and at ease and I love hearing that. Not to mention becoming friends with my clients which is an added bonus! ​

Working with Jeff has been an absolute pleasure! As a hair and makeup artist, I appreciate their incredible eye for detail, lighting and composition, which truly brings my work to life. His professionalism and warm personality really put our clients and brides at ease even when they are not comfortable in front of the camera. I highly recommend Jeff and always look forward to working with him.

She is a gifted photographer with a keen eye for composition and character. She really got herself into the middle of all that was happening while at the same time was unobtrusive and respectful of the guests and the event. Such an amazing combination of skills.

I am really interested in other people. I like to find out about you. I believe we all have value, and everybody deserves to be happy. Sour Pusses are quite the bummer, and seriousness is overrated. I really believe there should be very little reason for people to not get along. EVERYONE is welcome. I LOVE nostalgia, and having my work appreciated enough to be on your walls is the best feeling. I roast my own coffee, I am a friek for Legos, old black and white movies, the ocean, the forest, the jungle, and chatting with people.

It was serendipitous that I came across Daniel's instagram randomly in the early stages of wedding planning, and the most recent photos happened to be from the venue we'd chosen so it was clear he knew the venue and that his pictures were magical. Our wedding planners were thrilled that we had found him as they have all worked together and have a great working relationship. Daniel is exuberant and brings such authentic enthusiasm to his work. He was super helpful in the day of planning, and on the day managed our timeline with great efficiency and professionalism. All of our guests were highly impressed at his commitment to getting every shot both posed and candid of us, our families, and portraits of our guests. My husband's most important moment to capture was sunset and our sunset photos are beyond stunning. We had a really positive experience working with Daniel as a person and photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture a wedding or any special event.

We want to capture it naturally while having fun and making it least stressful as possible. We would love to be apart of your special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have asked for a better photographer and videographer for our wedding. Connor and Emma captured our day beautifully and were so great to work with. They made us feel comfortable in feeling like we could be ourselves and not have to worry about cameras around us. Having a Male/ Female duo had its major perks. The groomsmen and groom liked they could be “guys” around Connor and not have to censor themselves while having Emma in the Bridal suite was nice when having to put on a dress. Connor had our hi-light in less than 24 hours. At First this terrified me thinking “how can it be good he didn’t take his time” I was completely WRONG. It was better than I even imagined. Thank you both for capturing our day we are beyond lucky to have had you as part of our day.

***Please reach out via my website's contact form!! It's the best way to ensure I get to your inquiry!*** Hey!! I'm Dani 👋 — a Lake Tahoe based wedding photographer who will happily hop on a plane for a good love story. I'm a Diet Coke enthusiast, a dog person to my core, chronically online, and the kind of person who will hype you up so hard you'll forget you were ever nervous. I care deeply about the people I work with and even more about making sure you actually get to ENJOY the day you spent a year planning. I've got the behind-the-scenes handled — you just show up and have the best day of your life.

I knew from the start that I wanted Dani to capture our special day, not just because we’ve been close friends since college, but because her artistic style and deep understanding of the wedding process are truly unmatched. She has an incredible gift for meeting you exactly where you are. Even for those of us who are typically camera shy, Dani made us feel so comfortable that the magic happened naturally. She captured moments with our closest family and friends that I never thought I’d be able to see, and the results are more beautiful than I could have imagined. Beyond her stunning photography, Dani is a true professional who handles the logistics and payment breakdowns with total clarity. On the day of the wedding, she was willing to do it all, from expertly handling my wedding dress bustle to busting moves on the dance floor! Having her second shooter, Jordan, there was also a huge plus to ensure that every single moment was documented from every angle. If you want a photographer who brings incredible energy, capability, and heart to the biggest day of your life, Dani is the one!
