I’ve been holding on to these images since December. Colleen & Will’s fabulous River House wedding was last weekend (and there’s lots of delicious images to share from that very soon) which means I can finally share Colleen’s bridal session!

I love to shoot bridal sessions. I really, really LOVE them! It’s such a special time in a girl’s life and I think it’s completely appropriate to embrace every moment of being a bride. All too often, the wedding day simply does not permit the chance to do a dedicated bridal shoot. There’s usually a strict timeline, lots of hustle & bustle and to top it all of, wedding day jitters! This is exactly why the bridal session is such a great idea for the bride to be. The session is the perfect time to do a trial run for hair & makeup. I always recommend professional hair and makeup for my brides so it’s good for them to see how they photograph, making sure it’s perfect for the big day. Plus, it’s another excuse to put that gorgeous gown on and have some really beautiful, classy shots to capture a girl when she’s never looked or felt more beautiful.

As mother of the bride it is hard not to be partial to the subject but your images have captured the outside and inside of Colleen. We are so thankful that you were the photographer for this very special event.

"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
