About the photographer

Danette

Splitting my time between Vegas and Reno, NV, I've traveled all over Nevada to shoot the most legendary weddings and elopements.

Let me spill the beans about my epic photography journey. 📸💫

I've gone on a wild wedding tour all across the good ol' U.S. of A! From coast to coast, in 14 different states, I've been capturing love, laughter, and pure magic with couples from around the world. It's like my camera and I are joined at the hip, inseparable, madly in love!

And here's the thing, my mission is to capture the most genuine happy moments with people. It's my passion.

And there's more! Think about it - on your big day, guess who's gonna be your trusty sidekick, your partner-in-crime? Yep, it's yours truly, the wedding paparazzi! I'll be there, capturing every dreamy, hilarious, and heartfelt moment! So, let's hit it off and become BFFs, 'cause you're gonna be seeing a lot of me on your wedding day, second only to your spouse!

I'm head over heels for this photography gig. It's like I was born with a camera glued to my hand - an extension of my very being. I've been rocking this professional photographer thing since waaay back in 2008! It feels like forever, but hey, time flies when you're having a blast, right?

Let me tell you how this all started

Let me tell you a little story. Picture this: my house, a bustling hub of creativity. My old man, the master of cameras and vinyls, had more 35mm wonders than you can shake a selfie stick at. Everywhere you turned, there was a camera waiting to snap away.

And geez, did that artistic bug bite me early on. I was like, "Hold up, capturing art through photography? Count me in!" Thanks to my artsy-fartsy parents, I developed this insatiable love for all things creative!

Oh, you know what really reeled me in? The sheer joy plastered on people's faces when they lay their eyes on a killer photo. I was like, "Hey, why not turn this into my glamorous full-time gig? Let's make art, capture moments, and sprinkle happiness all around, shall we?" Easy peasy, right?

About a year after starting my business in New Mexico, I moved to Las Vegas and began working at a wedding chapel. That time was a crash course in productivity and efficiency for me. Can you believe it? I've shot not one, not ten, but over 2,000 weddings and elopements! I know, it's like a mind-blowing, jaw-dropping, head-spinning number. My camera has been on fire ever since, baby!
