Dani Leigh Photography

Dani Leigh Photography is simply the best. Dani photographed our engagement session and our wedding. The pictures were absolutely amazing, and the turn around time is super fast. Dani is a wonderful person and makes you feel so comfortable when she is taking pictures - you'll be laughing the whole time! She has unique and new ideas and you won't be disappointed with anything she does. We'd highly recommend using Dani for your wedding, she's worth every penny!

love our pics! so pretty and we will have such a great album all said and done. Dani is so great to work with!

Dani made my now husband and I feel at ease at our engagement shoot & the day of our wedding!!! Her sense of humor is great and she just seemed to "get" our wedding vibe! She made our perfect day even more perfect and we could not have asked for better photographers in her and her second shooter, Brea. All of our family and friends are amazed at her photos and we know that we could not have choose a better photographer to share our day with and capture our forever memories. I would recommend her to anyone for any occasion.

I met Dani at a wedding in which my role was a bridesmaid. Before she took her first few photos, I knew I wanted her to be my wedding photographer. When I got engaged, I contacted her immediately!

She is hysterically funny, she makes you feel calm on the most exciting day of your life, and she captures everything you had seen and those precious moments you wish you had been fortunate to be part of but you were too busy trying to eat your salad! She is amazing!

I keep looking at my wedding pictures to the point I think they should get a restraining order against me. They are beyond beautiful and they vividly remind me of that incredible day. Her unique and sassy poses and clever use of lighting make for stunning photographs. You need someone reliable, trustworthy, and talented do to your wedding photography...and Dani is that person and more. Dani gets JUST as excited as you do for the big day. I love her energy, spunk, and humor! Trust me, she will make you feel like a million dollars.

My pictures were on her blog in seemingly world record time and 19 days into my wedding I had a CD of pictures and a link to my photos on the web. You can't beat the quality and talent! I am more than thrilled that Dani captured my wedding and I know I will have her snap shots of my family growing over the years. I consider her more than just my photographer...she is a friend. I only hope future brides are as fortunate to have a photographer like...

My day would have been incomplete without Dani there to capture every single magical moment (which she did). She is so talented and I am lucky to have had her there on our wedding day. Our pictures are better than anything I could have dreamed of! Not only that - she is one of the sweetest people you will EVER meet! I instantly knew I had to have her when we met the first time. Our engagement session was one of the best days ever. Dani made everything go so smooth and we laughed the entire time - which was awesome because the honest truth is that my husband didn't think we needed or want them. After hanging out with Dani for a few hours - his opinion totally changed! The pictures of our wedding day are something I will cherish forever! I know quite a few brides who have been lucky to have Dani with them on their wedding day and I will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing photographer in the future!

Dani has fully mastered that photography is both an art and a science. Her photographs turned out crisp, clear, and were picture perfect! She has an artistic eye for poses and locations for photos and we felt like we got excellent photos in a variety of settings. We got a lot of compliments from friends and family about the photos. Dani was highly responsive, timely, fun to work with, and well priced, a great value!

Dani Leigh is fantastic! She's energetic, creative and, oh yeah, a fabulous photographer. We had an engagement session several weeks before the wedding, and she was great with showing us how to pose and get used to having a camera in our faces. It was great practice for the wedding day. She was familiar with our wedding venue, so she had great photo op suggestions. She and her second shooter (Steve) got photos of everything we wanted (and more). The photos were amazing. I can't imagine having better photos or a better experience!

Dani just photographed our wedding a week ago, and I'm still speechless. She was so fun and upbeat during the planning phases and professional and easy going on the day of. Within 12 hours we had an amazing wedding picture posted for us, in 2 days we had a blog entry with sneak peaks, and just 4 days after wedding we had all of our pictures in an online gallery. Her pictures have brought many of our family members to tears. I've gotten nonstop compliments on not only her photos, but her professionalism and laid back style. My husband even wants to take her on the honeymoon. :) She really works with you as a couple and even when we were goofing off she snapped some of my favorite pictures. Dani doesn't miss a beat - she is a must have!!

Dani is amazing! She is fun, up-beat, and a pleasure to work with. All of my family and friends said how much they loved her after the wedding! But most importantly -- she does amazing work. The coloring, the lighting, the poses...everything is perfect in the pictures! Pictures were probably the most important thing to me when it came to planning my wedding and Dani exceeded my expectations. I know I will treasure these photos for the rest of my life.

Dani was amazing!! She is so much fun to work with and the pictures are so beautiful that I cannot stop looking at them!! I cannot wait to get copies and hang them up all over our house!! You really shouldn't look any further because she is the best!!

Dani photographed my wedding this past August and I could not have been any happier with her!! She was calm, relaxed, and fun on the day of the wedding and every photo is magical! We had our wedding at a very unique art museum in Baltimore and Dani was able to capture the beauty and charm of the location and the energy and spirit of the guests! My only problem is that I don't know how I will ever narrow down which pictures to put in my album. :) Seriously, Dani is very talented and I LOVE all my photos!!

Dani, is absolutley the most amazing photographer. She is so easy to work with and takes beautiful pictures. She is the BEST all around. Super professional and very talented. I couldn't be happier with my pictures. She really went above and beyond on my wedding day. Book her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been a little over two months since my wedding on July 22 2012 at Herringington on the Bay. I am currently enjoying a day off of work, and decided I was dedicating this day to choosing wedding photos that I want printed to decorate our still bare living room walls. I'm sure it has nothing to do with my mom and new mom-in-law asking when they're getting photos :)
I'm reliving my dream wedding in vivid detail, and am once again falling in love with Dani Leigh Photography. My goal for my wedding was colorful and fun, and knowing that, Dani gave me an amazing collection of colorful and engaging photos. Her compositions are dynamic and interesting to look at, even if you aren't emotionally involved in the day she is capturing. I still frequent her blog, even though I no longer need a professional photographer.
The only thing I liked better than the photographic results of Dani's work was getting to share my day with her. Your photographer is the person you spend the most time with on your wedding day, even more than your husband! They have to be there with you if you want them to capture all the special moments. Dani is kind, a complete professional, and so are the others she works with (she brought along Anna as a second shooter to my wedding, and we loved Anna as much as Dani). I had so many compliments, not only on her work that has been passed around to family and friends, but also on how unobtrusive she was. For some photos, people said "I don't even remember seeing them taking this photo!" I'm pretty sure she has an invisibility cloak.
I'm not a person who likes being at the center of attention, and when you're a bride, that's exactly what you are. Dani helped me get out of my own head and enjoy my wedding without worrying about what I was going to look like. It was a relief to know that I was in visually good hands :) Dani and Anna were able to photograph in an artistic manner every precious moment, every hand-made detail, and every dear family member.

The photos we received one day after our daughter's wedding were so beautiful. She captured the feeling of the day and the vision my daughter had for her wedding day. Each time I asked her if she took pictures of certain things, she had already done so. Very professional yet personable.

Amazing!!! That's all I can say! She truly caught every moment of my wedding in a beautiful way and did creative, fun shots but still did the poses my Mom would want! She was a blast and is even, I would consider, my friend now! She is so sweet, professional, talented, passionate, hilarious and really keeps the day going and on time. She spent so much time making sure my husband and I were happy with what we wanted before the Wedding day and then executed it perfectly on our wedding day! Every time other vendors would ask me who my photographer is before the wedding and i told them Dani, I immediately got an overwhelming happy response and every vendor said I wouldn't be disappointed, which of course I wasn't. Also, I planned my wedding 800 miles away and she have me great recommendations about my other vendors! In fact she told me who to book or our dj and he was a huge hit at our wedding!!! I'm so thankful to have her as our photographer and I can't wait to show off my beautiful pictures:)

Dani was our friend's wedding photographer. My fiance was a groomsman, and after working with Dani on that day and seeing our friend's wedding photos, we knew we had to have Dani take our engagement pictures! Dani Leigh is incredibly easy to work with and has great knowledge of how to help people look their best in pictures. Her value is also tremendous. The CD of the photos come in a beautiful custom case that is so nice you can display it instead of just sticking it in a drawer somewhere. I highly recommend Dani Leigh!!

Dani Leigh is absolutely the BEST wedding photographer in the US! She covered my destination wedding in Italian and totally captured the magic of the day. My photos look like magazine pictures! She should receive an award for Photographer of the Year.

Dani is AMAZING. There is no other way to describe her and her work. She showed up early and was very flexible when we requested her to stay an extra hour. She was easy to work with, fun, creative, and energetic. The personalities of her and her assistant really complemented each other well - it's hard to be uncomfortable around her.

I cannot say enough good things about Dani! Everything about my experience with her was wonderful! As soon as I meet her I knew she was the photographer for me! She listened to everything I said and I could tell right away she was passionate about her work and truly cares about her clients. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and at ease all throughout my wedding day! My pictures are breathtaking and even better then I could have possible imagined! Everyone in my wedding party loved working with her as did my husband and I. As if the wonderful pictures weren't enough the customer service I received was wonderful as well. Dani always answered my emails promptly and had teaser photos posted for me 2 days after my wedding! I had the editted online gallery about a week later! I couldn't believe how fast I got my pictures!!! Dani is wonderful, any bride would be lucky to have her document their special day!

I don't even remember how I found Dani, but I looked through her blog pictures and said I HAD to meet her! She was so quick to respond to my first email and she was so patient with me and my family at the meeting. I immediately felt comfortable with her and couldn't wait for her to do our wedding. She was so easy to work with, and the day of the wedding she was so patient with my huge unorganized family and was smiles and giggles the whole day! I was surprised how quick the teaser pictures were put up and even more surprised how quickly the whole batch was ready! I thought it would be months, but she got it to us in 2 weeks! She's amazing! She caught perfect moments and parts of the ceremony and reception that we missed or didn't remember. The pictures are great and we cherish every one of them! I can't wait to make the album!

Dani did an amazing job! we love our photos and i have already recommend her to many of our friends

dani leigh photography captured every moment of my big day, both large and small. dani was so professional, came prepared, and brought the best second shooter with her! she provided me with all the paperwork before hand to fill out, so that she would have a detailed list of all the groups and shots that i wanted. she was the perfect combination of let's-get-the-job-done and super consoling and helpful. she even fed me while i had my dress bustled! she's seriously the greatest. all of our guests and family loved working with her, too! there wasn't a moment that wasn't captured... my face hurt from smiling so much that day, and also in looking at the final products -- the beautiful pictures! i've already recommended dani leigh photography to two of my friends who are getting married soon, and know that i can stand behind that suggestion. i heart you dani leigh!!!

Dani is amazing. I remember meeting with countless photographers and just not being able to find exactly what I wanted. From the second my family and I met with Dani we felt completely comfortable and we knew that we were making the right choice- and boy were we right.

First let me say that Dani is really nice. I know that sounds weird to say, but a lot of photographers are not nice people to work with (and you're going to be spending a lot of time with them, so it's pretty important). She makes you feel totally comfortable and she was great with my friends and family (they loved her). It's like working with someone you've known forever.

There was never a moment where I felt like I had to ask Dani to do something- she thought of everything and worked with me before the wedding day so that every detail was covered and I can happily say that I have every picture I wanted (and yes, they're amazing). I never had to worry about where my photographer was because she blended in seamlessly with the party and captured every moment.

My pictures are amazing! I am so impressed by the quality and quantity of my photos. I am impressed that she was able to please my mother (who wanted a lot of posed family photos and who is nearly impossible to please) and me (I wanted more documentary style- action shots). I got the best of both worlds and everyone was beyond happy with the outcome.

Dani was a pleasure to work with and I can't wait for the next big event.

My husband and I were just married last weekend. We met Dani over a year ago at Starbucks in Columbia. Everyone kept telling us to shop around but when we saw her work we knew we had found someone special. One thing I liked most about Dani was the fact that she blogs her weddings a few days after shooting them. Being as impatient as I am, it was awesome to know I only had to wait a few short days to see some of our pictures. They were well worth that few day wait! Dani is so incredibly easy going and put both of us at ease. She is also alot of fun! It was pouring off and on that day which made it difficult for pictures and keeping my dress in tact for the ceremony...or so I thought! Dani had a way of assuring me that it was going to be ok so I put my trust in her and trecked through the wet ground in my rain boots! She even brought the sun out for us;-) When I saw our teaser pictures she couldn't have been more right! Despite the wet conditions our pictures are absolutely stunning! Dani captured my husband and I in a way that is way better than both of us ever imagined. She really out did herself on our photos. I love pictures of all kind whereas my husband hates taking them. He was even more excited than I was after seeing our teasers! We both look like models who should be in a magazine. I know this is no different than any other wedding Dani has photographed because every single picture she takes is flawless! I think every couple deserves to have this feeling after their wedding day. Her talent is priceless. We both feel so lucky to have had her. We cannot thank her enough. Your wedding day is a moment in time you can never get back. You don't want to regret not having the right photographer and possibly not having as good of wedding photos as you have dreamed of. I can assure you Dani will not let you down! We love you Dani! We cannot wait to use her again!

Dani was so fabulous to work with! She can put a smile on anyone's face, so there should be no worries for those who don't think they are photogenic. She captures the best parts of everyone in her wonderful pictures! I can't begin to tell you how much everyone loves our pictures. We will use her again in a heartbeat for any pictures we need.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dani!! She was so easy-going, lively, professional, and amazing to work with! I didn't have to worry about a thing, from the time Dani & Lauren arrived at my parents for pictures to the time they left the reception. The pictures are everything I could have hoped for...thanks Dani!!

I wish there were more than 5 stars for Dani! She has been absolutely amazing to work with!! The pictures are gorgeous and they completely took my breath away! So pleased with her work and will defintely recommend and use her again! :)

We cannot say enough about Dani Leigh Photography. Dani was such a pleasure to work with-- fun and extremely professional. She went the extra mile to make our day special and captured it beautifully through her photographs. Look no further... this IS the photographer you want for your wedding!!!

Thanks again Dani Leigh Photography!

Jessica & Daniel Hazlett, married 6/9/11

Dani Leigh is amazing! I randomly found Dani Leigh's work online and sent her an email. She emailed me back within 5 minutes and we set up a meeting to discuss our upcoming wedding. As soon as we sat down, I knew I wanted to hire her. She really listened to exactly what we were looking for, and I greatly appreciated that. Photography is truly her passion and it shows! In addition, her wedding package pricing is unbelievable and she is incredibly quick to finish editing and return the finished product to you. Our family and friends were amazed with our engagement session photos, and we had so many people ask us, "She is photographing your wedding too, right??" Our wedding was this past May, and we are still in awe of our wedding photos. Dani's photos line the walls of practically every room in our house! She even went above and beyond to photoshop one particular photo for me that I had forgotten to ask her to take. Dani is a perfectionist and I know she spent many hours on that photo, and I'm so grateful for that. Aside from her incredible talent as a photographer, Dani Leigh is a wonderful person and I loved working with her.

We just got our photos yesterday, and they are amazing!! Dani, and her assistant Lauren were both fantastic to work with. I couldn't have ask for a better photography team. They made the whole photo process really fun, and the results were gorgeous pictures. I love that Dani and Lauren were the ones documenting our day. Dani is really sweet, and very responsive. She always replied to my emails and is very flexible. Overall, this was an amazing experience.

I first met Dani at a Panera and immediately felt like I clicked with her. I felt like I had known her for years! Not only was she sweet and kind, her albums were fantastic! She had the artistic skills of true photojournalism while still getting great standard wedding photos. You would think that she has been doing this for decades! Working with Dani was a breeze! Any question or issue that came up, she handled professionally. Our families loved that she knew everyone by name when it came to the day of. The teaser photos that she uploaded afterwards was PERFECT to send out to family and friends who wanted to see some right away! I just got our wedding photos back and I almost started crying they are THAT good! She captured every essence of the day, each moment that passed by too quickly, and moments that I didn't even know existed! Her standard pose photos that we took (mostly for family members and picture frames) came out stunning, but her true talent is in the action shots, details, and the pictures of just my husband and I. I cannot say enough good things about Dani and her photography. She was able to capture the memories and her end result is more of a work of art than a standard "wedding photo slide". Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I know we'll be coming to Dani for all of our photography needs in the future!

Danielle (and Lauren!) were both great photographers. They took all of the pictures I requested, and were very punctual (something that is super important on a crazy hectic wedding day). I received all of my edited pictures from Danielle just a little over a month after our wedding, and I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Dani Leigh Photography if you are looking for a friendly, outgoing photographer who makes you feel super comfortable and takes AWESOME pictures at the same time!!

How has no one reviewed Dani's work yet? She is a GEM. I absolutely loved working with her and her assistant Lauren for both our engagement shoot and wedding day. She is super friendly, down to earth, flexible, creative, fun, etc. etc. I cannot say enough good things about her!! Our photos are GORGEOUS and everyone has commented on how great they turned out. Dani's prices are also EXTREMELY competitive and I love that she doesn't try to hold your pictures hostage - you get a DVD with all the photos on it, royalty-free!

I have said it before and I will say it again ... wedding planning can be anxiety provoking ... it is difficult to know where to begin, even if you are planning a small affair (which we did!) Therefore, it is a blessing to have a friend and photog like Danielle. I have had the pleasure of knowing Danielle as a colleague and a very good friend. Her passion for photography is shown in her work - I suggest you look at her blog, you will be impressed! There are pictures of weddings from all different cultures and backgrounds, showing her versatility. What is most impressive is her use of vibrant colors, "outside of the box" thinking, and catching you in moments when you dont know she is snapping a photo ... those are the things I like the most.

While Dani will not be photographing my Mexico wedding until January 2010 (YES, she travels!), she has so far done beautiful job on our engagement and wedding invitation photos. Please don't hesitate to contact me with further recommendations.

Where do I begin? So much positive to say about Danielle and her beautiful photography ...

I have the pleasure of not only being Dani's friend, but colleague and recipient of some of her beautiful work. Danielle traveled with our family and friends for a solid week around New Years to Punta del Burro, Mexico to catch the week on film. We could not be happier with the finished product ... and neither could our friends!

Like our other vendor (Kindly RSVP), Dani is young, fresh, original and absolutely thinks outside the box. She uses vibrant colors, angles, and lighting. Your pictures will not just be regular or black-and-white, but instead all different colors and hues. She also listens to what you want, and will study up to make sure she captures your "vision."

Danielle covered our engagement, rehearsal dinner, wedding and then some. She is an asset to any bride, engaged couple, expectant couple, blossoming family and even your pets!!! Please make sure to check out both her webpage and blog, you will not be disappointed ... and you may also make a new friend in Dani.

Dani took all of the pictures to make my Table Numbers with, took all of the pictures at my rehearsal/rehearsal dinner and took all of my husband's "getting ready" pictures. They all came out AMAZING. Dani also created my entire wedding album. I sent her all of the pictures that I wanted in the album she created all of the page layouts. We then went over each layout to make sure it looked the way I wanted before she sent the layouts in for the album to be made. My album is fabulous. Everyone looks through it more than once :)

Dani is awesome. She is on time, very easy to work with, and her prices are WAY too low. She not only captures all of those moments on film that you'd want to remember and cherish but her creativity makes for some amazing shots. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone :)

I would confidently recommend Dani Leigh Photography to anyone. She was wonderful to work with, reasonably priced, and the quality of her work was outstanding.

Dani is an absolute PLEASURE to work and coordinate with! The photos I have seen from the reception we worked together were absolutely breathtaking. I hope I see a lot more of her in the future!

When I work with Dani it is a going to be a great event, the images that she captures are innovative and
and truly amazing how she can move to be in the right spot at the right moment. For me to have a photographer that is so customer focused and that we can communicate the event's process from beginning to end is a winning formula for event's that demand only the most dedicated on site vendors.

We worked with Dani and her second photographer at a Wedding recently and it is wonderful when two professionals who never worked together before can so seemlessly get there jobs done while taking the other professionals requirements into consideration. We always film the formal photos and produce a montage with a music overlay of that section ... the shots she setup were wonderful and the formal photo montage was the most touching that we have ever produced .... she knows how to setup and take a photos that almost speak to those who view them. I actually felt guilty ... she was setting up the shots and doing all the work while I merely had my video camera running and capturing that footage. We sincerely hope to be able to work with Dani again soon. Jim Ratliff, Pres, 5iveStar Media Productions

Dani is great to work with. Very friendly and professional. She goes out of her way to make sure the couple gets all of the photos they want.

Very talented photographer and you will not be disappointed!! Highly recommended!!!

Dani is an amazing photographer, each photo better than the previous. I had the honor of being photographed at an event she shot and the end-product was amazing. I'm happy to pass her card and information on to every bride that calls us about our services.

It is an exhilarating feeling to know you are going to work with a vendor on a wedding who you not only know, but are comfortable with. This is what happens when I know I am going to work side by side with Dani. We are on the same page creatively with our art as well as the way we professionally approach a wedding. She has a way of creating a relaxing, easy-going atmosphere which is exactly the characteristic a wedding should have.

Dani Leigh Photography and I "hit it off" what feels like years ago, because she is just such gem and breath of fresh air. When you meet her, you are instantly hooked by her passion, adorable personality, amazing talent and how comfortable you feel with her. Then when you see the photos, you are head over heels in love. She captures the best moments at that perfect second and really tells a story with her photography.

Dani recently did a huge event with me for The Knot with décor scattered in ever corner on 4 different floors. Was I worried she wasn't going to miss any of the millions of details or 20-some things going on at the same time?….not at all! When I saw the pictures from the event, not only was I correct in not worrying, but I was literally, mouth dropped open, blown away at how these pictures were even better than I ever could have imagined ….she is the best!

I work with many photographers and each has their own special twist on their art. What I love about Dani Leigh is her eye for capturing those detailed shots you want with out over posing you or making you feel stressed. She is quick to snap a beautiful photo and doesn't mind taking a second to remove her self from the lens to take in her surroundings and position herself perfectly to capture a candid shot. I love love love working with her and will continue to refer every client I know her way.

Dani has a great eye and it really shows in her work. Dani not only shoots many weddings at The Elkridge Furnace Inn, but she was married with us as well! Regardless of actual location, Dani's photos seem to always capture the best spots.

I have worked together with Dani several times and each time is better then the last! She is fun, energetic and great to work with. She is detail oriented, organized and professional and has a knack for capturing every perfect moment. Her photographs are some of the best I've seen. Highly recommended!
