Hi! I'm Danielle. I moved to Dallas from Philadelphia a little over 4 years ago and I am loving Texas life, and now we're headed to Corpus Christi! I love serving all of Texas as a wedding and engagement photographer! I am an avid FRIENDS and Disney fan, lover of perfecting my favorite M&M Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and engagement/wedding photographer! I have been a wedding photographer since 2015 when I was first asked by one of my college ultimate frisbee friends to take pictures at her wedding. It was love at first snap! I feel in love with capturing people's love stories using my favorite art form: photography!

Dani was literally sent to us by the universe to document one of the most important days of our lives. She has an incredible eye for detail and an amazing ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are so grateful to have had Danni there with us, and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come.

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Portland, TX

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues. If you're looking for amazing photographers/videographers who produce breathtaking images while also making you feel at ease and comfortable on your wedding day, look no further than MoonTide Media.

I was absolutely blown away by Essen Entertainment at our wedding. JJ is so easy to work with and will bend over backwards for you. We had him play acoustically for before our ceremony, during our ceremony, and at the cocktail hour. He even learned a song especially for the wedding party processional that we requested. He is so talented! He also wrote an original song for us to dance to at the wedding. Definitely a must! My fiancé hadn't heard it before the wedding so it made for a very special moment. JJ was great at reading the crowd on the dance floor during the reception. I had so many compliments about the music and how full the dance floor was all night long. JJ pays great attention to detail and sent us a detailed itinerary for our event. He was great at making sure everything moved along just as planned. Definitely consider Essen Entertainment for your next event! You won't be disappointed!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Portland, TX

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew I had some craft skills and did not want to hire a florist, so found Flower Moxie online to do the flowers myself for my daughter's wedding. Maria was very helpful and responsive. I scheduled a phone call to answer my questions and then placed an order for loose flowers and greenery, mixed boxes, and premade wearables and bouquets. I felt the pricing was reasonable. I ordered the vases etc. online along with extra ribbon and pins. Please know you have to refrigerate the wearables, I recommend a wine fridge for the slightly warmer temperature. The flowers arrived as described, and although the corsages seemed small, they actually wore just fine. I was able to add some color to the bridal bouquet with the loose flowers. I found the process to be low-cost, low-stress, and again Maria was so very helpful that I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. My daughter loved what I was able to do.

From the first email I sent them, I knew Covenant Pictures was the right choice. I had so many questions and very little idea what I was doing, and they were so patient and kind from the beginning. Every two weeks, they checked in with helpful advice, timeline planning tips, and just really thoughtful messages that made me feel calm and cared for. On the wedding day, they showed up early, smiling and prepared, and immediately made me feel at ease. They helped direct everyone so gracefully—never pushy, just encouraging and kind. I looked around during the ceremony and reception and realized they were everywhere, catching every hug, laugh, and tear. My family kept saying how much they loved the photographers and how easy they were to talk to. And somehow, they had our full gallery ready just over a week later. I opened it during our honeymoon and cried all over again. I’ll never forget how they made me feel. I’ll recommend them forever.
