Hey, Glad you're here (: My name is Danika.
"A wonderful human being, and extraordinarily talented photographer; professional expertise paralleled with a fun and positive energy. [Danika} is truly one of the best decisions we made for our special day. From the moment we booked, we had regular communication, and she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Ever cool, calm, and collected throughout the wedding day, and with our family and friends. Our photos look AMAZING, we are so happy with them! She captured our day beautifully, and vividly."

"The way she captured our day brings us right back to the way we felt in the moment. We are so thankful to have the images that so perfectly captured not only the moments, but the feeling of our wedding.
The video Pierre created was so far beyond our wildest expectations! We still can’t watch it without crying!
they were so delightful to have with us throughout the day! They made everyone feel comfortable and brought out laughs when they needed to, and disappeared to capture to most raw moments when they needed to!"

"I don’t even know where to begin, but in a nutshell hiring Danika was the best decision we made in the entire wedding planning process. Danika is the sweetest, and her passion for photography really shows in her work. We were absolutely blown away by our *abundant* photo gallery from our wedding. Highly HIGHLY recommend."

DANIKA JUST EMBRACED OUR AWKWARDNESS, RELIEVED ALL THE PRESSURE, & DELIVERED TO US THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS THAT CAPTURE EXACTLY WHO WE ARE AS A COUPLE. SO MANY OF OUR GUESTS COMMENTED ON HOW MUCH THEY LOVED SEEING DANIKA & HER SECOND SHOOTER JUST GETTING RIGHT INTO THE FUN AND ACTION AND IT WAS AS THOUGH THEY FIT RIGHT IN. SHE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY + MORE & IF YOU WANT PICTURES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL THE MOMENT, THEN SHE IS YOUR GAL!"

kenzie + emmanuel
"are you freaking serious!? these are unreal 😭😍😭😍😭😍😭😍😭😍 I literally am in love!"
"The most talented photographer I know. She is the ultimate down to earth, "captures you as you are" woman. Keeping in mind I am a fellow photographer and I can be quite particular when it comes to what I like. I was BLOWN AWAY. I had not liked photos of myself or my fiancee that much up until Danika captured US. She was adventurous, up for anything, accommodating, kind, and her work is just a quality that is a step above the rest. Couldn't sing her praises enough! Allow yourself the privilege to work with her. I would say top 3 in the Okanagan by far!"
rachel + mike
"Like actually, jaw dropped and I was speechless when i saw this! It's incredible!"

"...YOU END UP LEAVING WITH MORE THAN JUST EXCELLENT PHOTOS; YOU LEAVE WITH A NEW FRIEND. DANIKA IS EXCEPTIONAL IN EVERYTHING SHE DOES AND GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MAKE A PERSONAL CONNECTION WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF HER CLIENTS. WHEN YOU HIRE DANIKA YOU AREN’T JUST HIRING A PHOTOGRAPHER, YOU’RE BRINGING A HUMAN FULL OF SUCH PURE JOY AND HAPPINESS THAT YOU END UP LEAVING WITH MORE THAN JUST EXCELLENT PHOTOS; YOU LEAVE WITH A NEW FRIEND."

Let's make a history book full of your life, with photographs that feel real. My commitment to you is to create and document beautiful + fun + emotional portraits of you two; genuine, joy filled candids; photos that make you giggle; family portraits to hang on your wall; emotion filled moments that may bring a wave of tears or a gush of laughter; my goal is to photograph your wedding day as it is.
I want you to look back on this day in 3 or 30 years and remember not only how it looked, but also by how it felt.
