I was trying to wait until we got the full album (she has already sent us some stunning sneak peeks!) back from our wedding last week to leave a review but I just can't! If you're even slightly considering hiring Danielle for any type of photography...DO IT. Hiring Danielle to take my engagement and wedding photos was the single best decision I made throughout the entire wedding planning process. From our introductory phone call to our last set of emails about fixing a (beautiful absolutely perfectly shot) wedding photo (that was ruined by a wedding crasher), Danielle was nothing but friendly, warm, professional, knowledgeable, and all-around delight. A huge amount of our guests commented how kind and unobtrusive Danielle was and how they wished their wedding photographer had been more like her. And I haven't even gotten to her talent yet. Danielle is just a really damn good photographer. My husband and I both don't particularly love having our photo taken and, if I'm being honest, we haven't worn more than sweats in the last 2+ years since we both work from home. Every photo Danielle has taken of us is absolutely stunning and we both felt so comfortable with her during the process. I seriously cannot recommend her enough. read more

Do yourself a favor and hire Danielle as your wedding photographer! Where do I even start - Danielle is amazing at what she does! She made my husband and I feel super comfortable in front of her camera and it feels like you've known her forever because of her kind, bubbly and sweet personality. We recently got our wedding photos back from our city hall ceremony and what can I say WOW just WOW! Pure magic! Choosing which photos to put in our album and on our walls will be a very tough decision! Danielle - we can't thank you enough for capturing one of the best days in our lives and can't wait to work with you again! Much love, Tamara and Rob read more

Danielle was such an amazing photographer to work with before, during, and after our engagement photoshoot! As soon as we met her, we knew instantly that we would like her. A couple of minutes into our session and she was basically our BFF for the entire duration of our shoot. She made us feel so comfortable that we almost forgot we were surrounded by so many people at the UC Davis Arboretum, which was during November when nearly everyone in the surrounding area goes to take their family photos. We giggled and laughed and giggled some more, but all of that made for some genuine and beautiful photos. When we received our previews, we were amazed by how great they all turned out. It made it really difficult for us to select a finite amount of photos, but we persevered! In the end, the final photos came out amazing, and we couldn't be happier with the quality and how quickly we received them. I'm pretty sure once we have a family, we'll definitely be calling Danielle again for those pictures. ;) read more

Danielle is an absolute superstar photographer! We booked her for a maternity and newborn photoshoot for our first born daughter, and loved her so much that we booked her again for a maternity and newborn photoshoot 2 years later for the birth of our son. She is kind, attentive, punctual, and so professional! She came prepared with two cameras and back up flash drives and her photo editing arrived promptly. To top it all off, she makes her clients feel at ease during their photo sessions--she consistently made us laugh in such a natural way and we enjoyed her company. She was wonderful and easygoing with our toddler, able to capture beautiful memories with amazing natural lighting. Thank you so much Danielle for capturing treasured memories of our family that we will cherish for years! read more

We originally hired Danielle about a year ago to do engagement photos (April 2020) and then our wedding (October 2020) after meeting her a couple of times at two wedding fairs. I was first sold on the amount of natural light she uses and that I was able to hold some (nerdy) conversations with her; I teach for a living, so talking comfortably with another adult that's not my coworker is another plus. Anyways, COVID hit and we kept postponing our engagement photos in the hopes that it would get better; so thanks to Danielle for being so flexible and patient while we all waited. We ended up doing a intimate wedding last month with some close friends and family. Since it was such a small gathering, Danielle happily swapped out our 2 hour engagement session with 2 hour wedding coverage. During our wedding she did a great job guiding us through with COVID appropriate, comfortable, and natural poses with our friends and family! She also had asked us for a quick timeline and list of photos a few nights before, which made everything seamless. Her 2nd photographer helped with keeping track of that list and making small adjustments during our "romantic" part of the session, where Danielle excused the rest of our friends and family for some private time with my husband; that was a great help, so we could focus on ourselves and not feel as subconscious with a crowd. We got our sneak peeks within a few days and our entire session a month later! Overall, we're super happy with our pictures and hope that June 2021 will work out; we were also able to postpone our original wedding and ceremony with Danielle as well! read more

Danielle Alysse Photography - Photo by Danielle! - Event Photography Near Me

It was the first time getting professional photos taken so I was extremely nervous and more so because it was the first time my husband and I have gotten couple photos done. Danielle was so amazing and she really put us at ease. Communications before the shoot was easy and she responded quickly to any of my messages. At the photoshoot we had a lot of fun, it was constant laughter throughout the entire photoshoot. We highly recommend Danielle and will definitely book her again for any future photoshoots we need done. I think the photos speak for themselves about Danielle's talent! read more

Back again to compliment Danielle and her amazing talent! She has a gift, and I'm so glad she's willing to use it capturing our family. Since my last review, Danielle has done THREE maternity sessions (two babies, but two for the second baby), a family session/six month milestone, and a cake smash session for my son's first birthday. She's amazing with kids! Super patient and kind. If you have a toddler, you understand that they are impossible when they don't want to play along, but somehow even in those moments, Danielle is able to make magic happen. I always have way too many good pictures to choose which ones to frame (first world problems, I know). Danielle is my girl! I will continue to recommend her to anyone who asks and I will continue to use her to capture our family as long as she keeps taking photos! read more

Danielle is our new BFF - amazing person & amazing photography. She managed to turn our last minute engagement shoot (when I was a major stress case) into a work of art. She made me feel at ease and has us laughing in minutes of us being on-site for our photos. Day of the wedding, she was professional and fun, and above and beyond to capture the sweetest moments of our day. I gave her minimal direction on what we were looking for and she managed to capture all the feels. Don't hesitate to book her for your event or photo shoot - you will not be disappointed. read more

Danielle is so fun and amazing to work with. When my fiancé and I met her at a wedding show, we instantly knew she was the photographer we wanted for our special day. Her passion for what she does is nothing short of phenomenal. Our engagement shoot day came and she made us feel so natural, and we had so many laughs our smiles hurt! It especially helped that she loved having fur babies there and capturing us with our Dixie girl made it extra special. She makes it seem so effortless and got so many beautiful photos. After we left our engagement shoot, I instantly wanted to just hangout with her again. We can't wait for our wedding day! read more

Simply the best!!! If you are looking for an amazing, sweet, funny, flexible, easy going, personable photographer, well then you have landed on the right review. Danielle came highly recommended to us and did not disappoint. We commissioned her for our engagement photos and instantly fell in love with her work. She made both of us feel right at ease, and comfortable in front of the camera. Exactly what we needed for our wedding day! Our original wedding date was postponed quite a few times due to Covid and every time, Danielle was understanding and worked with us to secure a new date. Patience of a Saint! Our wedding day has since come and gone, and let me tell you, she busted her butt to capture all the moments! I absolutely love the memories she captured, every.single.one read more

I first met Danielle at a bridal expo and ended up winning a free engagement photoshoot! My then fiancé and I had such a great time with her and loved her photography aesthetic that we knew we wanted to hire her for our future wedding. About 3 years later we finally planned our wedding! Due to COVID, we did a small backyard wedding. I believe it is so important to have a photographer that can genuinley make you smile and that is what you get when you hire Danielle! Everyone at the wedding told me how much fun they had with her when we had a little down time. In addition to her glowing personality, the photos are absolutely beautiful! I couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you Danielle!! read more

Danielle did an amazing job on our engagement shoot photos, would 100% recommend her to family & friends in the local area. The photos turned out exactly how I had wanted & during the photo shoot process Danielle did an amazing job of making the shoot comfortable and welcoming. read more

I do not have enough good things to say about Danielle. She makes everyone feel happy and comfortable. We did a photoshoot with my family including 2 toddlers and 2 grandmas. The location we had planned to meet at turned out to be closed that day due to some PG & E issue... and Danielle messaged us to let us know and we had to quickly pick a new location to do the pictures at. Even though none of us knew the location or where we could find a good spot, Danielle got some AMAZING pictures. She has a great eye for outdoor photography! And she knew the PERFECT trick to get my entire family to have genuine smiles in our picture! She is so sweet and just a lovely person who will capture exactly the kind of photos you ask her for. Can't say enough positive things about her! My kids talked about her for weeks after the session! read more

Danielle is great - I'd recommend her without hesitation. I contacted her with a somewhat unorthodox request. My competition horse was retiring and I wanted some nice photos with him, and also some family shots with my husband and our dog. At times it was total chaos - my horse kept rearing and calling for his girlfriend back in the stable, my dog got loose and chased some goats, etc. - but Danielle handled it like a total pro. It can be really hard working with animals in the best of times, but she managed to capture a set of really wonderful photos despite the challenging setting. We definitely plan on hiring her again in the future! read more

We found Danielle through our wedding vendor for photographs for our wedding and I we have been so happy to work with her. She is the easiest most organized person to work with, not to mention the absolute nicest! The contract and payment process is so straightforward and easy to use online. We recently had our engagement session and we are so beyond thrilled with the photos. We were nervous because we don't like pictures of ourselves but Danielle gave us great direction and we had SO much fun. We are actually having a hard time picking just one photo for our save the dates! read more

Danielle is wonderful! She is kind, patient and extremely talented! She was hired to photograph our Christmas photos. There were so many great photos, we had a hard time choosing what to include on our card! Most importantly, she was able to maintain the attention of our five month old all while capturing her personality and the beautiful scenery. We are grateful that she worked with our schedule and even expedited the delivery of our final photos!! Thank you, Danielle! read more

Words can not describe how happy we have been with Danielle. I'll try to make this somewhat short but there is just so much we are grateful for. First we did a maternity shoot and she was so accommodating and helpful. We loved her and her personality is the absolute best! We told her about our horrible experience with our wedding photographer and what hesitations we had with photographers. Boy ohhh boy did she turn that around! She provide above and beyond for us. We were so happy with her we preemptively scheduled our newborn shoot with her. The work she provided was quick and amazing work! Next we booked the newborn shoot with her. Our baby boy was somewhat fussy and needed a couple feeding breaks. Danielle was very patient with us. Yet again the pictures were perfect and delivered quick. I don't know what photo shoot we will need next but I know who we will be reaching out to! Thank you a million times over Danielle! read more

Danielle was a wonderful photographer to work with during our engagement shoot. We definitely don't feel comfortable in front of the camera, or with cheesy/forced romance, but she helped us feel very natural. I liked how Danielle asked us specific questions about our relationship to get us to laugh and smile during the photos, that was a great move. She also had great ideas for poses, things that I thought would look silly but came out great. The final photos are AMAZING! Thanks Danielle! read more

If you are looking for a Elk Grove/Sacramento photographer, I recommend Danielle. I love our photos!! She's great at her job and can deliver to you what you want and like. She's a sweetheart! I am looking forward to work with Danielle more! read more

This review is long overdue but Danielle is such an awesome photographer my fiancé and I had so much fun doing our engagement photos with her. She had us laughing and was making it so much fun for our pictures. Even though our photo session was a whole lot of hiking, and when posing for pictures in areas that I thought was impossible (especially in high heels lol) the pictures were amazing. We can not wait for our wedding in March to see what amazing moments Danielle will capture on our special day. Updated: Danielle Alysse Photography is the best, both our engagement session and wedding pictures turned out amazing we loved every moment she captured. She made our sessions so fun and exciting that our family's loved her she is so amazing at what she does. Hopefully in the near future I will definitely be booking her again for our family pictures . Thank you again Danielle . read more

Danielle Alysse Photography was amazing. Danielle is real, down to earth and can bring any client out of their shell. My senior didn't really want to do senior pictures but it was important to mom. Danielle got so many amazing shots in a short period of time. She was funny and professional and my senior had a great time despite being dragged to the shoot. She was quick and prompt with pre-edits and the final proofs. I would highly recommend Danielle and will definitely be using her again. read more

Danielle was fantastic! Great communication prior, flexible, found the perfect venue off the beaten path and captured us beautifully!

You will not be disappo read more

My family and I enjoyed the photoshoot session with Danielle. This was our very first time taking outdoor family pictures, and it was perfect! She was very patient with my kids, I have a 5 yr old, 2 yr old, and a 4 month old. So as you can imagine, I was nervous and worried that she might cut the session short due to the kids not cooperating, BUT it was actually the opposite. She made us feel comfortable after the first few shots, being extremely patient and professional. Communication before and after the session were on point, and the turn around time was fast, even though it took place around the holidays. I definitely recommend her, will definitely contact her again in the future! Thank you so much Danielle! read more

This review is overdue. I hired Danielle for my pre-pregnancy photo session. It was in July and she recommended the place and time. We were pregnant with our third daughter. OMG!! Photos turned out to be magical as they were taken at sunset on the river. My other two older daughters loved Danielle and agreed to do all the poses she wanted. My daughters will thank me later in life for doing this as picture Danielle took are magical. She caught all of our beautiful expressions. Pictures show our true love for each other. Thank you Danielle and I would recommend her to everybody. read more

You will not regret booking Danielle for any and all of your special moments in your life. As all of you know, finding a good photographer for your wedding is one of the most important vendors to book. She did our engagement photos first and we knew right away we wanted her there for our wedding day! She has an eye for good poses, backdrops, etc. and we were so impressed by her professional manner. It rained all week and all morning the day of our engagement shoot and she had put together so many back-up plans and creative ways to take pictures in the rain. We got lucky and it cleared up for an hour for us, but I appreciated all of her hard work and it put my stress at bay. Leading up to the wedding, she would check in with me, send me ideas, and she changed around the schedule so many times to accommodate our schedule. She even sent me the cutest little care package to take a bubble bath, light a candle, drink champagne, and eat chocolate to relax before the wedding. SO thoughtful and personable which (trust me!) helps with the planning process! Our wedding photos are amazing and I cried the first time I looked at them. Just seeing her do her thing on our wedding day, you can tell that she is meant to be behind that camera and is so passionate about capturing the right moments. I also received so many compliments about how professional and how natural her and her second shooter, Gabi, worked that day. So flawlessly and so flexible with the changes in schedule--we had a horrible hail storm right when the ceremony was supposed to start, and they handled it like it was nothing. I can't wait to book Danielle for our future life events--babies, family photos, etc. Thank you for your hard work Danielle! read more

Danielle has been a complete joy to have as our engagement and soon-to-be wedding photographer. I am not exaggerating when I say that I started with a list of 52 photographers and went through every single website twice and couldn't stop coming back to Danielle. Her skills at capturing light are magical, and she captures all of the joyous candid moments during the photo experience. She was extremely punctual, organized with everything planned out beforehand. She took off any stress for the engagement shoot. She literally drove 2 hours away for our dream location. Our session went way over time, but she kept doing her photo magic. Danielle just puts people and her job first and went above and beyond capturing all the places that we wanted regardless. Danielle is a people person, she is sweet, funny, and personable. I was convinced from our first conversation and her sweet thank you gift that she would be a pleasure to work with. I cannot stop looking at every single photo, we were nervous because we had never had professional photography sessions before and didn't really know what to do, she helped pose us, but also allowed for candid moments for our personality, happiness, and love to shine through. I cannot wait to have her at our wedding, and I absolutely recommend her to anyone getting married, wanting a family, baby, or couple shoot, because she is AMAZING! read more

Danielle was very low key and made both me and my fiancé (who is a little more reserved) feel so at ease. We laughed and she captured the best, most magical parts of our relationship. She also delivered our engagement photos super quickly and I felt like a priority and a rockstar. I can't wait to work with her again! read more

My Fiancé and I recently had our engagement shoot with Danielle and it totally solidified why we picked her to be our wedding photographer! We absolutely love her and the photos turned out incredible! I couldn't ask for better! She was so fun to work with and guided us through lots of different poses while encouraging us to be our fun and goofy selves! She is so fun to work with and her editing is incredible! read more

Danielle is a talented photographer and fantastic to work with! I contacted Danielle to schedule a photo shoot for my daughter and her boyfriend/date on a day of their high school Senior Ball. After reading five star reviews on Yelp, her educational background in photography and seeing beautiful posted photos of Danielle's work, I knew she was a perfect photographer for special occasion. She definitely is! My daughter and her date really enjoyed photo session with Danielle. Despite the busy location - International Rose Garden by the State Capitol- Danielle made the high school couple feel special on this fun day. Her attention to details is amazing: she made sure to highlight in photos beautiful lace top of my daughter's dress and layers of tulle of the dress bottom. I loved Danielle's creativity during the shoot - seeing my daughter twirl around in her pretty dress, or her boyfriend picking her up in his arms... fun and sweet! We received digital images library within couple days after photo shoot, and all images were stunning! Danielle edited the almost 50 images we chose within a week. She even went an extra mile for us by creating a complimentary app of digital photo images library to download for our iPhones!! Wow! So very awesome! I would recommend Danielle's photography services for any special event without hesitation. I know that I will certainly call her when it's time again for professionally done beautiful photos!! read more

The best photographer you will ever work with. She is passionate, communicative, personable and over all lively person. She made our session truly magical and captured our true selves. We did our session in the dead heat and she was so upbeat and kept us going to make sure we got the photos we wanted. I'm so in love with our elopement pictures and will definitely be using her for future occasions. She is also very resourceful as she has many vendors or stylist to help you get through your occasions. I used one of her make up artist she recommended and my make up turned out amazing for the photos. Hire her she will not disappoint. read more

Danielle did a fantastic job with our newborn pictures. I found her on yelp and after reading a few great reviews and viewing her portfolio we decided to ask her to take our first pictures as a family of 3. She was so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable. I really liked that the pictures were in our home and were of candid moments of my husband and son and I. Her work was amazing and we had our pictures back in a very reasonable amount of time. We will be using Danielle for future family photos. Thank you Danielle Alyssa Photography! read more

Danielle shot our engagement photos and wedding earlier this year- she's amazing! She's so friendly and adaptable. I'm familiar being behind a camera and know what I like, and have a vision of my own for things, so for me to find a photographer that meshed well with me was a miracle! Danielle is talented, agreeable and affordable! But more than anything she's adaptable. She's a very thoughtful photographer and establishes a relationship with her brides making the process even smoother and enjoyable. I really cannot say enough good things about her. If you're looking for a gifted photographer who's not too rigid in their own vision AND won't break your bank Danielle is the gal for you! (Plus if you have a dog, she will be it's new best friend) read more

My wife and I were lucky enough to have Danielle be our main photographer at our wedding. Danielle is an extremely talented and blossoming young photographer whose eye will capture the special moments that will last a lifetime. Danielle is also extremely compassionate and knows that balancing the photos while experiencing the moment is just as important on the big day. My wife and I never felt rushed and none the less found ourselves right on schedule to enjoy the festivities. I can't wait to see what special photos she captured! Danielle also shot our engagement session and we knew from then on that we would only trust these momentous times in our lives in the hands of one photographer. She is worth every penny that she charges and then some. We also had two of Danielle's team members onsite with us for both occasions and her coworkers are as talented and amazing as she is. I cant wait to hire her again and again! Thanks for being the best Danielle! read more
