Recently I traveled up to the beautiful southern city of Charleston, South Carolina for Joy & Chris’s wedding at Lowndes Grove Plantation. Since we had not met before, I was really looking forward to meeting them in person. When I finally met Joy at her hotel room at Harbor View Inn, I was given the warmest of welcomes and knew that despite the rainy weather, this was going to be an awesome day.

Thank you so much Joy & Chris for bringing me up from Florida to shoot your wedding!

XOXO

I LOVE that she is a fellow Chi Omega sister! That is so fantastic! (I get really excited when I meet brides who were Chi O’s or have relatives who were Chi O’s). Stunning wedding, absolutely amazing details! Love!

"Dana did an INCREDIBLE job on our photos! I was so pleased with how they turned out. Not only that, but Dana was so helpful throughout the entire experience (as we know weddings can be stressful!). This was one less thing I had to worry about. She did a great job of getting lots of different sceneries which made for plenty of unique photos. It’s impossible to choose a favorite! I had multiple people tell me our photos looked like they should be in a magazine! She was so pleasant and friendly and I would absolutely refer anyone to her!" - Sarah

"Dana is top-knotch amazing at what she does, and is worth every penny. We have INCREDIBLE wedding photos to remember our special day forever, and know that they're going to always look classically beautiful. Dana is accessible, agreeable, and accommodating to the craziness of weddings. We had high standards, and are very happy." - Ryan

"Worth every penny! My wedding and engagement photos are more than I ever imagined! I'm so thankful to have such beautiful keepsakes of our special day. Our wedding album is AMAZING. We have received so many compliments on our photos! Dana was a joy to work with and really felt like a friend, rather than a vendor, at our wedding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!" - Tiffany
