storytelling romance, routed in faith
Houston, TX Wedding & Elopement Photography
I specialize in intimate weddings and elopements where the guest list is smaller, the emotions are deeper, and every detail carries meaning. This work is created for couples who want a faith centered, romantic, and elevated photography experience in Houston and beyond.
You’ve found your person, and now it’s time to celebrate the beginning of the love story God is shaping for you both. I’m a Houston based wedding and elopement photographer creating imagery that blends editorial romance with genuine, heartfelt emotion. You’ll receive refined portraits that never feel forced and candid moments that bring your day back to life again and again.
Big laughs, happy tears, and all the in-between moments are what I live for. As a Houston wedding photographer and adventure elopement photographer, I capture your love story with a fun, storytelling approach. Whether it’s a Texas adventure wedding, a mountain elopement, or a destination “I do,” I’ll bring the good vibes while you soak in every moment. Together we’ll turn your love into timeless, candid memories.

Hi Friends! I'm
When you work with me as your Houston elopement photographer or destination wedding photographer, it’s never about stiff poses. It’s about capturing the real connection God placed between you. Whether it’s a candid laugh, a quiet embrace, or a spontaneous spin, every image is meant to reflect who you are as a couple. No one else will have the same photographs because your love story is uniquely yours.
I’ll guide you, celebrate you, and help you feel completely at ease so your personalities can shine. Whether you are planning an adventure elopement, a beach wedding, or an intimate destination celebration, I’m here to document the raw, meaningful moments that matter most. Together we will create timeless, storytelling wedding photography that feels as real and honest as your journey.
my goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible during your photography session, so your photos are authentic as possible.
I don't believe in fake smiles and stiff poses.

Dani was the best photographer for our engagement photos and wedding. She was really able to capture our important moments and go above and beyond to grab the best shots. She exceeded our expectations by a mile and I recommend Dani for anything you or your family would need in terms of photography. 10/10!
