About Danielle
It was love at first sight followed by lots of second shooting for weddings and family photo shoots! Kaleo is Danielle's husband, second shooter, associate photographer and business partner. Kaleo plays a lot of roles but his main two roles are to take beautiful images and be the computer nerd or "IT" guy whenever Danielle runs into computer issues.
When playing the role of second shooter Kaleo is there to take your photo when you are not looking and make you smile and laugh at the perfect moment while Danielle is taking it! He usually has a zoom lens on his camera to capture spontaneous moments and get that pretty boca blur in the background. He is also a talented jokester and has a thing for getting even the frowny face none smilers laughing.
Kaleo has been working so closely with Danielle that he has learned all her tips and tricks and easily falls into the role of main shooter when needed.
Meet Kaleo
Native to New York, Kaleo's first spark for photography actually started in Alaska. He moved there to be with his best friend and help assist with taking and selling arial photography. His three favorite parts of the job was of course being in an airplane, seeing beautiful scenic landscapes with his friend and learning about photography. When his time was up in Alaska he decided to study at Embry-Riddle in Arizona to be a pilot. After realizing he didn't want to pursue a pilots lifestyle, Kaleo turned hi degree into a business aviation degree. He started his first corporate job at an aviation insurance company in Scottsdale Arizona and soon after met Danielle.
When they met, Danielle was attending ASU and besides falling in love over rock climbing dates, Kaleo immediately became Danielle's right hand man for photography. From helping carry & set up Large Format Cameras, to modeling while Danielle tried out each style of photography, to learning to take photos of Danielle and researching the newest equipment and eventually building up his own portfolio and gear.

Born and raised in the majestic Sedona Arizona Desert, Breanne fell in love with photography at the tender age of 16 where she stumbled into a darkroom and found her heart captured by the alchemy of photography. Since then, her journey has been a love affair with light, shadow, and the art of storytelling through the lens.
Breanne loves to travel around the united states and around the world. She has the ability to make friends where-ever she goes and makes others feel seen both in person and through her artform.
About Breanne
Breanne and Danielle are lifetime friends who have been working together for 8+ years now. Breanne is charismatic, friendly and easy to be around.
About Chandler
Chandler first fell in love with visual storytelling in high school through a film production class, which led him to earn a degree in Creative Media & Film from Northern Arizona University. With an emphasis on independent filmmaking and a strong background in cinematography, Chandler brings a dynamic, cinematic eye to photography. His style is rooted in capturing real moments as they unfold—candid, heartfelt, and rich with emotion.
Having worked weddings since the age of 11 through his family’s catering company, Chandler is no stranger to the energy and emotion of a wedding day. Now, as a full-time photographer, he combines years of hands-on experience with a thoughtful, artistic approach. He’s especially drawn to golden hour portraits—those quiet, glowing moments just after the ceremony when couples get to be present with each other and truly savor the day. His calm, friendly demeanor helps people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and his subtle guidance turns portraits into meaningful memories.
Chandler’s goal is always to make couples feel seen, celebrated, and at ease. Whether he’s catching a joyful glance during the vows or a stolen kiss on the dance floor, he approaches each moment with intention and care. When he’s not behind the camera, you can find Chandler exploring nature with his partner and their dog, or browsing local markets on summer weekends. His favorite escape? Aspen Corner in Flagstaff—especially after a rainstorm, when the greenery glows and the mountain views take your breath away.
About Amber
Amber brings a bright, uplifting energy to every wedding she photographs. As part of our team, she’s not only developed a strong creative voice, but also a talent for making couples feel instantly at ease in front of the camera. Clients often share how much fun their session felt—that what started with nerves quickly turned into laughter, connection, and confidence. Whether she’s capturing the joy of a first kiss or the quiet moments in between, Amber’s goal is always the same: to create images that feel effortless, emotional, and true.
Her photography style blends candid spontaneity with artful composition. Amber has an instinct for reading the energy of the moment and capturing it in a way that feels both intentional and organic. Couples love how she balances posed portraits with genuine, unscripted emotion—and how the final gallery reflects not just how they looked, but how the day truly felt. She brings a creative eye and a heartfelt presence to every shoot, helping each couple feel beautifully seen and celebrated.
When she’s not behind the camera, Amber sees the world as if she still is—mentally composing shots everywhere she goes, from hikes in Sedona to morning coffee at Free Form. She loves dancing barefoot on the red rocks at Ecstatic Dance, catching golden hour at Yavapai Point, and exploring hidden trails like Made in the Shade. Her days off are slow, soulful, and grounded in nature—much like the energy she brings to her work.
