About Dakota Layne Photography
Dakota Layne Photography
I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.
If you’ve connected with my work it means you want more from your wedding photos. You crave a more creative, personal approach - you want photos that make you feel something - you value a mix of timeless, editorial, perfect & imperfect. Most of all, you want something real.

5 stars isn't enough!
When we first met Dakota over a zoom call, it was like seeing an old friend. We absolutely adored her and knew immediately we found a hidden gem and needed to lock her down for our wedding day and we are so so happy we did. It was so easy to connect with her and share our ideas/vision, and she made it all come to life. At both the engagement session and our wedding, she captured all that we are as a couple and more. I’m not personally one to enjoy the spotlight but Dakota made it so comfortable and fun. Not only is she one of the sweetest, kindest people I’ve ever met, but she also holds herself to an exceptionally high standard. She’s very responsive, and timely, and pours her heart and soul into every photo. Her dedication to her couples and her craft is admirable! As we sit here and gush over our photos for the millionth time, we thank our lucky stars that Dakota was there to capture the first of many beautiful moments for us.
Amazing Wedding Photos
Dakota shot our wedding in Feb. 2024. She did an amazing job! She was friendly, lively, and delivered an amazing selection of photos for us! We wouldn't change a thing!
WE LOVE HER & OUR PHOTOS!!!
Dakota is such an incredible person to work with and added so much to our day. Not just by taking our favorite pictures of all time, but for also being such good energy and light on our day! We wouldn't have wanted any one else to capture our day after our initial meeting!
Dakota is the absolute best!
If you’re thinking of booking, do!! I looked around for many photographers to do our wedding photos and Dakota was by far the best to communicate with! We discussed all of our visions and ideas for our day and Dakota made them happen. I have never had more beautiful photos taken of me (which is saying a lot as I hate having my picture taken), and she made us feel so comfortable!! My husband never has a “real” smile and she was able to make us laugh like no other and got some great pictures of him too! I highly recommend her!! I can’t wait to book her for future family pictures!
