Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, long before it became a career. I built my first pinhole camera and developed my own prints in a darkroom in grade eight, then spent high school apprenticing with a film wedding photographer: thirty years of studying light, all told.
Somewhere in there, my love of photographs got tangled up with my love of travel: landing somewhere unfamiliar, the pull of the ocean, getting folded into a group of people for a few days and feeling out the rhythm of how they all love each other before I ever lift the camera. That combination is probably why destination weddings fit me the way they do.
Meet Danielle Aisling, Destination Wedding Photographer
As a destination wedding photographer, I spend my year photographing multi-day wedding weekends across Canada, Mexico and Europe, from villas in Tuscany and the coastline of Cabo to the mountains of Banff, with time spent in Prince Edward County, Toronto and Montreal in between. I work in both film and digital, and my documentary and editorial work has been in British Vogue, Together Journal, Carats & Cake, Wedding Chicks and Green Wedding Shoes. This year, Loverly named me on The Loverly List: Best International Wedding Photographers of 2026–27.
What's never changed through any of it is the pull of a single image - an old family album, a fashion magazine, anything that freezes one moment and somehow holds the whole feeling of it. That's still what I'm chasing every time I'm behind the camera, and it's exactly what I want your gallery to do: hold the whole feeling of the day in a handful of frames.
Outside of weddings, you'll usually find me somewhere new, good music on, chasing ocean air, or at home with my husband, our two daughters, and our bulldog, Marshall.
