- Ashley Gossen
She was nothing less than amazing. She brought this sense of calm to my wedding day that is indescribable. We had a few hiccups with my special day and Dana STILL helped me stay calm and game planned on how to make my day special.
Dana rocked all my expectations and then some.
- Zac Blasdel
We were so excited to share our photos with friends and family and everyone responded by incredulously asking who our photographer was - Dana is AMAZING!
Dana treated us to engagement photos that we will never forget.
