“Dani was everything I hoped for in a photographer and more. She was outgoing, professional, timely, and artistic, among other things. I never really understood what it meant to truly capture emotions in a photo until I saw our wedding photos. As you can tell from her portfolio, Dani is obviously extremely talented at what she does. But beyond the photos, she brought us water and snacks, danced around and interacted with our guests, made sure everyone stayed on track with our photo timeline, and was even gracious enough to stay past her paid time to capture a beautiful group photo with the sunset. I 100% recommend Dani and hope to work with her again in the future for an anniversary shoot. Thank you again!”
"Dani Purington is an amazing photographer! 5-star all around!!! She not only did my family's pictures at the Utah State Capitol, but she also did my husband's and I's adventure session for our upcoming 5 year anniversary. We went to Arches National Park and it was amazing!!! Dani made it super fun and very comfortable (ex: playing music to help get us in a fun, intimate, playful, adventurous mood). She captured my family's personality and the fun personality of my husband and I. She also did a phenomenal job capturing the beauty of Arches National Park. I just looked at our collection and to say the least.... I'm in love with every photo!! If you want photos done by a professional photographer, you need to contact Dani ASAP!"
"Dani is the sweetest, most caring professional photographer I have ever had the pleasure to do business with! She took the time to get to know my husband (then-fiancé :) ) and I before we started our engagement session and got a sense of who we were as a couple and what kind of look we wanted with our photos and afterwards was pure fun and magic! She makes you feel so comfortable and free. I was a little nervous about being in front of the camera but it felt so natural and was a good mix of her directing us yet giving us the freedom to showcase our love. She knew the perfect locations that gave amazing light and was super encouraging when shooting with us. She gives teasers back the next day that are simply GORGEOUS and you just want to post them all! I received SO many compliments over her photos and comments of how great of a photographer she was at our wedding as well. Everyone was telling me how sweet and great she was and it made me feel so proud to have her as our photographer! Every angle, every instant, she was there capturing those perfect moments! You get tons of beautifully edited photos from your perfect day that you will most likely end up printing out a bunch to put in frames around your house (like me!). My husband and I could not have asked for a better photographer! Thank you SO much, Dani!!"
"Dani is a natural. She has a staggering talent and was a total professional from start to finish. Normally, I'm pretty stiff and uncomfortable in front of a camera but she really put me at ease and I love the way our photos turned out because of it. From the very beginning, she was collaborative and accommodating. She was mindful to capture our 'good side,' entertained our ideas for fun snapshots and even made friends with our big dogs (she got them to smile and wag for the camera, too). It was a pleasure to have Dani as a guest in our home and after our shoot, I consider her a friend. I'm proud to recommend her without reservation. Whether you need someone to capture your special day, a big event, or a special connection that just can't be described in words, she's your gal. We'll always treasure the photos she captured and, although it surprises me to say this; I'm eager for the opportunity to get in front of her camera again. Thanks for everything, Dani!"
"Dani is one of the best photographers my fiance and I have worked with! She is such a joy to be around and makes it so fun and easy being in front of the camera. She always knows how to make her clients feel relaxed and stress free! Not only does she capture the perfect photos, she takes the time to get to know us and our love story. She truly is such a wonderful and talented photographer and I would highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to capture your love so beautifully and naturally. Thank you, Dani for such an amazing shoot! We love ALL of our photos! Can't wait until the next time you take our pictures."
"I LOVED how comfortable she made us feel! During the portrait sessions, the poses felt so natural, and she always reassured us of how cute we looked ;) I think my favorite part was walking out to the first look. It was a surreal moment as it is, but she had love songs playing on her little speaker, and it made it feel that much more like a movie scene!
Also, I was so impressed by how quickly we got our photos back. Was expecting not to get them for a couple months! Related to that, we LOVED getting some previews the morning after! So fun!"
"I've seen Dani's work countless of times and I just knew that she would be perfect for me! She was willing to drive up to Los Angeles to take my graduation pictures. She spent an hour with me, sent me so many beautifully edited pictures, and I love every single one. While taking the pictures, Dani listened to what I wanted, but also came with her own ideas that I loved; she makes you feel so comfortable and makes everything perfect. Also, she sent the pictures in a timely manner. Dani truly has talent, and I'm so happy that I made the right choice for her to capture my graduation pictures."
"Dani and her husband are truly amazing people! Dani really works with you and captures every magical moment. My fiancé and I just went to take some fun photos, we hadn't taken our engagement photos yet, they turned out amazing and we're now using them for our engagement photos! Dani is so personable and makes you feel so comfortable to be infront of a camera, which can be really nerve racking. She managed to make my fiancé and I fall back in love all over again by just having so much fun during the shoot. I would highly recommend her to everyone that is looking for any type of photography! Thank you Dani so much!"
"My boyfriend are not ones to take a lot of photos (He's very camera shy). It was out of our ordinary to get professional pictures taken and to be quite honest, I was hoping it wouldn't be a complete disaster. Five minutes into meeting Dani, I felt like we had been friends forever. She wasn't just taking pictures of us, she was getting to know us. She wanted to capture our relationship and story which very few people have the talent of doing. We all became so comfortable with each other. I cannot express how happy I am about not only the pictures, but the experience we had. I will definitely be going back to Dani for all my future photography needs. Cannot wait to plan shoots with her again!
There were so many special details included throughout this day - like the fact that Brianna’s dad built their ceremony backdrop BY HAND as well as the sweet heart table, and the fact that the bride hand wrote every name on the escort tiles for each table.
From the vintage ring box, to the venue with brick walls, to her beautiful dress displayed beautifully in the room, to their sunset photos in San Juan, to their first look at the San Juan Capistrano Mission, the entire day was magic.
Celeste and Jordan's wedding was one I will never forget. While it was raining the entire day in the San Diego Bay, the emotions were SO real that it had my second shooter and I in tears pretty much all day.
Dani was more than we expected! She was so happy and very calm on our wedding day. Her passion for photography did not go unnoticed! She even came to the rehearsal to scope it out and stayed longer than she was supposed to take pictures. She got me a few pictures by the next morning which made me even more excited to see all our photos. She was always on time and took all the photos that I wanted to be taken. I highly recommend Dani and will definitely use her in the future!
