About Daniela Zapata Photography

Daniela Zapata Photography

Lead Photographer

My Name is Daniela, but my friends call me Dani. I am passionate about being a wedding photographer, and also feel incredibly lucky to call it my career. My favorite part of this work has nothing to do with cameras. It's the love stories. The specific, particular, unrepeatable fact of two people looking at each other and deciding "it's you". That kind of commitment is one of the most beautiful things humans do, and I don't take lightly that you're letting me be there for it.

I believe that wedding photography is more than just taking pictures. It's about capturing the authentic connection, the quiet moments, and the unforgettable emotions that make your day unique. If you’re looking for someone who can deliver technical excellence and soulful storytelling, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

    Professional, communicative, organized!

    Dani was an excellent photographer for our wedding. She was professional, communicative, organized, and so nice! We couldn’t be more happy with the way our photos turned out as she really captured our wedding day exactly how we want to remember it :) would highly recommend.

    She captured our vision and our day perfectly!

    We chose Daniela to photograph our wedding day – she was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! When we were deciding to book with her, she took time to understand our vision and make sure we were a good fit. Daniela came prepared and organized to every meeting, crafting our shot list and what we wanted to capture for our big day. Daniela took time to come to the rehearsal dinner and took fantastic candid photos. On the big day, Daniela and her second photographer Kranthi were so helpful – capturing getting ready and the big moments before during and after the ceremony. The photos turned out incredible – they captured our vision and our day perfectly. Daniela’s energy was also fantastic; she brought a bright and energetic vibe that made her a delight to work with. We would recommend Daniela for ANY event – she is a fantastic photographer and you will not regret choosing her.

Not at this time, however, I do have recommendations for trusted vendors I've worked alongside.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 6-8 weeks after your wedding. However, I deliver previews within 48 hours so you can relive the highlights of your wedding day immediately.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening at no additional charge.
I work with trusted second photographers on select wedding collections. Typically recommended for events with over 100 guests.
Typically, couples book me 8-12 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
