Unscripted by DaniTate

I'm Dani, a documentary filmmaker turned wedding photographer. After years telling real stories for HBO, Netflix, Hulu, etc. I bring that same eye to weddings - capturing the unscripted moments that actually happened, not staged ones. Based between NYC, SD, and LA, I shoot with a cinematic, editorial style, and love weaving in Super 8 film for texture when it fits the day. Whether your vision is classic, moody, or totally unconventional, my goal is the same: photos that still feel like you years from now. Let's chat and see what you are looking for!

I don't see weddings the way some in the industry do - as a checkbox or a commercial product. After watching my own sister get married and seeing what that day meant to her, I understood it in a way I hadn't before. The day is real. The emotion is real. The significance of it doesn't need to be manufactured - it just needs to be documented honestly. As a certified lover girl I will make sure your day is authentic to you. I'm also just getting my foot back in the door after I stepped away from weddings so my pricing is flexible!
