Chicago-based Wedding Photographer
serving worldwide
love, friendship, family, and tradition
artistically and authentically.
My mission is to create a great experience for my clients and to provide beautiful documentation of their wedding day that can be passed down as an heirloom to future generations.
I’m an award-winning wedding photographer; my work has been featured in National and International Magazines and blogs. My inspiration comes from movies, fashion, art, places, and people I photograph. My mission goes beyond delivering exceptional photography; I take a limited number of weddings per year to guarantee excellence in the process and well-crafted work.
award winning photographer
over the past 15 years,
I have worked with some of the most incredible people,
documenting hundreds of weddings.
Daniela is such an extraordinary talent!
She shot both our engagement and wedding photos, we couldn’t be happier with the results. I was so impressed with her attention to subtlety and detail, her professionalism, as well as her ability to capture a moment with such skill and ease. Her photos can almost speak – they are such a genuine reflection of personality, emotion, and events.
EMILY & NADAV
I really do think of Daniela as a lifelong friend.
My husband and I have never felt more ourselves than from her lens. I think what strikes me the most about Daniela is her ability to capture you at your best self - it's you, just elevated. When she took our engagement photos I remember thinking - she didn't just capture two people, she really captured our love.
Sarah and Ben
She is someone who does this as her passion.
This woman is just pure talent. She nailed our engagement photos, and we just got our wedding photos, and just WOW. She has got our whole family’s vote for #1 photographer in the Chicagoland area, and she now will have generations of our family who will utilize her company for any important event. Daniela is the way to go.
TANIA & SEAN
Her portfolio photos are exceptionally beautiful.
My husband and I have really high expectations, but Daniela exceeded them. Not only did she manage to capture the most important moments at our wedding, but she did an amazing job making sure to get photos of all of our guests at the reception. All of my guests kept on complimenting her throughout the night. I highly recommend her to anyone.
VANESSA & ALEX
Daniela felt like family and we are so incredibly happy.
To put simply, Daniela is the best. Daniela not only knew our vision for our day but also had a lot of great insights for us. Daniela is so talented, but also so enjoyable to work with. She is so incredibly kind and did a fantastic job with all personalities that weekend. I cannot say enough how much I would recommend Daniela! Thank you!
Kaitlin and Pat
Her photos are timeless. We are still amazed.
Daniela is a true artist and an expert in her field. Beyond her artistic eye, she is also very organized. She made the family portraits session run seamlessly. Daniela captured so many memories I would have otherwise missed, and as the day went by so quickly her photos helped me relive some of my favorite moments.
PATRICK & KELLY
I knew right away that I must have her as our photographer.
Her work was absolutely stunning and dramatic. Besides having beautiful work, I knew it was also important that our personalities mixed because you’re spending your whole wedding day with the photographer. Daniela she has a calming and friendly personality, but you also get the sense that she will just take care of everything. I was sold!
DANA & MIKE
Wedding Photography was one of the best discoveries of my life. It takes me to amazing places and gives me the opportunity to meet great people and make lifetime friends. I knew I was meant to be a photographer 20 years ago when I developed my first B&W photo in the darkroom. Today my darkroom is my computer because I photograph digitally, but I still feel extremely emotional and grateful every time I capture an intimate moment between bride and groom or mother and daughter that can’t be recreated.
I use the highest quality professional Canon cameras and lenses. I always bring backup equipment to photograph your wedding.
I’m a wedding photographer based in Chicago, but I’m available to photograph weddings anywhere in the world. I provide engagement, wedding, and portrait photography. For destination weddings, pricing is customized depending on the location and specific needs of the bride and groom.

Yes, I offer wedding books made in Italy by Graphistudio. I like Graphistudio because they offer a variety of materials and customizations. In order to guarantee uniqueness and exclusivity, their covers are all handmade based on the choices and aesthetic sensibility of the client. They pay close attention to the finishing and use refined materials and seamless binding that lays flat upon opening.
I will photograph your wedding, accompanied by a second photographer who will photograph the groom getting ready and provide a second angle on the ceremony and reception.
