About me

Hi, I’m Dani

your dedicated wedding photographer

I know how important photography is

Photos help you remember.

When I was young, too young to understand, our family albums were stolen. All the photos from my childhood were gone. I didn’t know then how much of a loss it was to be without them.

It wasn’t until I got my first camera that I realised the power of having photos. I take photos to remind you why you’re doing this in the first place.

I help couples feel confident

Folkstone has evolved over the years into something bigger than photography. I realised how much is involved in planning a wedding, and how stressful it can be.

As their photographer, I learned how to help couples ease some of their stress. Sometimes, all that’s needed is a simple reminder to zoom out and get back in tune with the goals they shared with me when we first met.

After a decade of weddings, I always had some practical advice for them, but sometimes it was just validation that they needed - permission to take their own lead and let go of other people’s expectations.

I’m totally obsessed with weddings

Over the years, I’ve taken my insights and turned them into tools for helping couples plan their weddings:

I can send you helpful downloadable resources on specific topics you can refer to when you need, from seating charts to emergency kits.

I’ve run planning workshops for couples to connect and delve deep into their values and goals to get clear on their why.

I made a deck of physical conversation prompt cards you can carry with you anywhere you go, covering dozens of topics you might have overlooked in your planning.

I even created a fun competitive card game that brings light to all the things that can go wrong in a wedding.

I guess you could say weddings are my special interest.
