I'm Danielle - With an eye for detail and a love for storytelling, I immortalize your wedding day by capturing images meant to outlast current trends.
My approach is refined, yet authentic. I approach wedding days as part guide, part documentary journalist. For the moments that require posing or prompting, I've got you. But for all the other moments of the day that deserve to be simply lived and not directed, I go into documentarian mode.
My role as your photographer is more than just taking pictures, but to give you a sense of ease and confidence, knowing that every detail of your wedding day will be attentively captured. I create a seamless experience for my couples by working with their vendor team, ensuring I am honoring the vision of the day and pride myself on creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, allowing you and your partner to be fully present in each moment.
MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Growing up, disposable film cameras were a constant in my life, thanks to my mother's love for capturing every outing and occasion. These early experiences instilled in me a deep appreciation for preserving moments—each snapshot a tangible piece of history, perfect in its imperfection.
My journey took a more serious turn when I was a nursing student in college. A gift of my first "fancy" camera, a Canon Rebel, marked the beginning of my fascination with photographing couples. I still fondly recall my first photo session with my roommate and her then-boyfriend, now husband. It was then that I truly fell in love with the art of capturing love stories.
After getting married myself, and working as an RN for several years, life took a new turn with the birth of my first son, Joah. My transition to stay-at-home mom was filled with reflection and eventually led me back to my early passion—photography. After my second son, Judah, was born in 2018, what had long been a hobby evolved into a thriving business.

Books
When asked this question, the first movie that comes to my mind has been P.S. I Love You for years. I can't say that it actually is my favorite movie these days, but its a movie that has made an impression on me. I also love Sweet Home Alabama, Walk to Remember, Titanic -- basically any romantic "chick-flick" from the early 2000s.
The very first Broadway show I saw on Broadway was Wicked. As a little girl, The Wizard of Oz was a beloved movie of mine. I would go as far as granting my grandmother's cat the role of Toto, in my real life acting of The Wizard of Oz (where I of course was Dorothy.) The way Wicked further tells the story and the music -- leaves me speechless. The recent movie adaptation of the musical was done so well!
Admittedly I have a bit of a sweet tooth. One of my favorite things is having afternoons/evenings to bake. My all time favorite is Oatmeal Cookies -- and specifically Joanna Gaine's recipe (I believe the recipe is in her second cookbook!) She uses molasses in them, and I am convinced that is the secret ingredient that makes them perfect.
I have a pretty eclectic taste when it comes to music. From Shaboozey, to Alex Warren, to (some) Taylor Swift, Post Malone, to Tracy Chapman, Avicii, to Kygo, Adele, to Justin Beiber -- I think you get it. My taste is a bit eclectic.
Its true. I'm a sucker for a pretty book. Coffee table books? Say no more. Vintage or Antique books? Yes please. I love to read fiction, and can get lost in book aisles reading back covers when searching for my next read. If you walked into my living room, one of the first things you would notice is the amount of books used in my decor.

From Other's Perspective
I could not recommend Danielle enough. My husband and I wrapped up our wedding experience feeling as if we had made a new friend through Danielle. She made it a point to get to know us on a level that was more than just transactional. My husband Cooper expressed to me after the wedding that Danielle had made him feel as though he was important as the groom, while making him feel comfortable and calm through the whole process...I chose Danielle as my photographer because you could really see and feel the romance and happiness of the couples through her photos, and I absolutely could not be any more happier with my choice of photographer. We loved every step of the way with Danielle!

As the owner of a wedding planning company, working alongside a photographer is one of the most important vendor relationships behind the scenes of a wedding day. My team only has raving reviews about working with Danielle. Her communication before & during the wedding day was exceptional. Her work also speaks for itself! We highly recommend booking Danielle Villemarette & Co. for your wedding day, special event, or general photo needs.
