“I originally met Daniela when she shot my brother's wedding over 10 years ago and I still remember how the whole family sat down to look at them together. We were absolutely blown away by her elegant, sensitive work. So much so that my other two brothers also hired her for their weddings and, you guessed it, I eventually hired her for mine as well.
My favorite thing about Daniela's photography is that she has a keen editorial eye. Her shots are framed with intention, taste and, most importantly, context. Her photos tell relational stories and I love that she treats every part of the wedding as an important character - the couple shines just as much as the family, the guests, the venue, and all the little details you agonize over the wedding-planning process and hope someone notices.
I would describe her style as a mixture between documentary and editorial portraiture. There's a fine art-style originality to her framing and her shots are both relaxed and full of life as well as sharp; she captures all the unmissable moments.
As a person, Daniela communicates very directly and succinctly while also having a beautifully grounding and calming presence. She's a consummate professional and makes you feel confident that she won't miss anything. She is gifted at gently (but effectively) wrangling large groups of people for the family photos. She works FAST but with precision, which is what allows you to actually enjoy your wedding instead of getting stuck posing for hours. She zips around to get all kinds of angles but does so imperceptibly; she knows how to blend in very well. I also know she has shot weddings in Germany, Mexico, the United States and he manages to capture the cultural nuances of the event, which I find truly unique.
I really, really enjoyed working with Daniela and it was such a relief to have someone so experienced and reliable behind the lens. I LOVED that my brothers and I all had our weddings shot by her. Having her artistic eye and voice on all of our photos just imbues them with so much timelessness.”
