10,000 stars! Daniela photographed our engagment shoot last May and our wedding last October. She is not only extremely professional but a true artist in her craft. Her work is timeless and creative and it shows in every one of her shots. We will treasure the photos she took for the rest of our lives.

My wife and I had Daniela do our engagement, welcome party, and wedding photos and we could not have asked for a better experience. Great photos from a great person. If you’re looking for a photographer to capture the moment beautifully while also taking the stress away look no further. Thank you Daniela :) !!

We couldn’t recommend Daniela enough. From start to finish, she helped keep things running smoothly and went out of her way to make us feel less stressed on our wedding day. Daniela's calm presence and attention to detail made a huge difference, and we absolutely love the photos from our October elopment in Asheville.

Working with Daniela was such a great experience. As someone who feels very awkward in front of the camera, she immediately made me feel comfortable. I absolutely love the photos from our lifestyle shoot and am so glad I decided to invest in this for my business. I’m looking forward to working with Daniela again and couldn’t recommend her more!

Daniela was so amazing to have at our wedding! She has such a calm and inspiring energy and was a delight to be around. She had great ideas for fun and creative photos and made both our wedding and engagement shoot gorgeous! She even shared TONS of sneak peak photos right after (with a shockingly quick turnaround). We're excited to keep working with her over the years and 1000% recommend!

Daniela captured our engagement in the most magical photos! She worked closely with my fiancé to have multiple plans in case of weather, had the perfect spots, and was just incredible to work with. The lighting, colors, and frames she chose were perfect. Highly recommend!!!

As a wedding videographer in Asheville, I work alongside a lot of wedding photographers. Daniela is by far the warmest person to have with you on your wedding day : ) Her work undoubtably speaks for itself. So know that if you hire Daniela to tell your story, she will do it with care, intention, and an uniquely artistic eye. Best decision of your wedding so far!

Commonly Asked Questions

Do you shoot film or digital photography? +
I am a hybrid film wedding photographer in Asheville, one of the few in the region offering this specialized approach. My background in fine art studies has deeply shaped my eye; I maintain a hybrid flow where digital provides security and film takes the spotlight when light and emotion align perfectly. I am a board member of The Asheville Darkroom (a non-profit education space) and I develop and process my own film, ensuring your memories are handled with the highest level of devotion.
Why do you choose to incorporate film? +
Film is about presence. It encourages a slower, more mindful observation that results in a soft, human quality digital cannot replicate. My hybrid film digital wedding photography approach allows for a grounded experience—capturing images that feel less manufactured and more like a lived-in memory.
Do you offer a bilingual experience for multicultural weddings? +
Yes. Offering a fully bilingual experience (English & Spanish) is a core part of my mission. As one of the few bilingual photographers in North Carolina, I act as a bridge for your families, ensuring that every guest—from your parents to your grandparents—feels seen, heard, and comfortably directed throughout the day.
How many hours of wedding photography do I need? +
Most couples choose my full day coverage (at least 8 hours) as it is my most booked experience. This allows your wedding photography timeline to breathe, capturing everything from the quiet morning preparations to the final celebratory dance without feeling rushed.
Do you offer engagement sessions? +
Yes! An engagement session is included with my full day coverage experience. I believe this is a vital chapter in our collaboration. It allows us to connect before the wedding so you feel effortless in front of the lens on the big day. You can read more about the importance of the engagement session experience here.
What wedding venues in Asheville or the Blue Ridge Mountains do you work with? +
As an Asheville and NC wedding photographer, I have had the pleasure of documenting stories at iconic venues including The Biltmore Estate, Omni Grove Park Inn, Douglas Ellington House, Mountain Magnolia, and Chestnut Ridge. I also frequently travel to the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens in Charlotte and various mountain-top locations across the Blue Ridge.
What is documentary wedding photography? +
Documentary wedding photography is a style focused on capturing real, unscripted moments as they unfold. Rather than forcing stiff poses, I observe the quiet glances, the raw laughter, and the subtle shadows that make your connection unique and honest.
What is editorial wedding photography? +
Editorial wedding photography meaning refers to images that feel like they belong in a high-end magazine. It is a blend of fine art composition and guided direction during portraits, ensuring you look your most sophisticated while maintaining a sense of effortless grace.
How much do couples typically invest in Asheville? +
For a full-day heirloom experience in Asheville, most couples invest between $5,000 and $7,000. This ensures a dedicated, artisanal approach to your day, inclusive of intentional planning and high-end gallery delivery.
What happens if it rains on our mountain wedding day? +
Mountain weather is part of the Blue Ridge magic. My approach is rooted in calm and preparedness; I work closely with your wedding team to monitor the radar and secure sophisticated indoor backup options for portraits. If you feel adventurous, I’m always inspired to "play in the rain" for unique, poetic captures—but your comfort is my priority. Whether it’s mountain mist or a sudden downpour, I ensure your story is told with grace and elegance.
How do we book you? +
Knowing how to book a wedding photographer should be simple. Once we’ve connected and ensured we are a good fit, you can secure your date with a signed contract and a retainer fee. From there, our collaborative journey officially begins!
