Engagement sessions are about more than the save-the-dates. They’re a chance to document your relationship in a place that matters to you—your favourite coffee shop, your neighbourhood, the forest trail you always walk together.
My Ottawa engagement and couple sessions are all about keeping things relaxed and meaningful, so you can show up as yourselves.
Ottawa Engagement Photography & Couple Sessions
My couples often tell me: “We just want our day to feel like us.”
That’s exactly what I do—capture your day through an intentional, guest-with-a-camera perspective. I blend editorial composition with candid storytelling, using both film and digital photography to create modern heirlooms that are as elevated as they are emotive. From the soft in-between moments to the bold celebrations, my goal is to reflect your day in all its unfiltered magic.
Whether you're hosting a 200-person soirée or an intimate dinner party under the stars, I’ve photographed it all—and I’m here for it.

COLOURFUL & JOY-FILLED STONEFIELDS ESTATE WEDDING
"Danielle is an incredibly talented photographer. She can turn the most ordinary of scenes into a spectacular photograph, not just in composition and light, but in the way she captures the essence of a moment, the feeling, the truth of each and every person photographed. She somehow captures who people are and their connections to others authentically. You simply cannot go wrong!"
Nadine & Chris
If you want precious events captured in a way that when you look at your photos you feel the moment all over again, Danielle is the person for you.
"To say that Danielle was just our photographer would be doing her a disservice. She was a kindred spirit, an old friend. She was woven so seamlessly into the fabric of our day. It’s as if she was exactly where she was meant to be, when she was meant to be there, with those she was supposed to be with.
We are forever indebted to her for giving us the most glorious memories and stunning photos. Both of which will stay with us for life."
BRIANNA & BRYAN
Know that Danielle will be one of the best, if not the best, decision you make regarding your wedding.
"Working with Danielle was one of the highlights of my wedding day that lives on even now. My friends and family could not get over how lovely she is and how easy breezy she made everything feel. Having Danielle at your wedding is like having a guest who you love hanging out with take all your photos for you. I love looking back at my gallery, which I still do all the time, and discovering new favourite photos."
AMELIA & NOLAN
Not only are my photos fantastic, but so are the memories connected to them because Danielle was so fun to work with and be around.
"I don’t even have enough positive words to express what Danielle brought to our wedding day. She held everything together. Then there are her photos! Her style fit so perfectly with ours and every image is a work of art. She delivered more than we would have ever expected and we just feel so happy with how she captured our wedding."
CATHERINE & MATT
Danielle was a part of our celebration and enhanced it in a way I was just simply not expecting from a photographer.
"While getting engaged is an exciting time, my partner and I were so worried about the photos because we are both stiff as a board. She captured the most surreal, authentic moments for us and made sure it was our style in a setting where we would feel comfortable."
JULIA & JESSE
We couldn’t imagine doing this with anyone else.
