Danielle was born and raised in beautiful Sedona, Arizona, where she now lives with her husband Kaleo, their four-year-old son, and two lovable dogs. She earned her BFA in Photography from Arizona State University, where her passion for portrait photography and capturing authentic connections first began. As the owner, CEO, and lead photographer of Danielle Holman Wedding, Danielle is deeply involved in every step of the process, serving as the main point of contact throughout the entire wedding journey to ensure a seamless experience. She is dedicated to making her clients feel seen, loved, and celebrated, bringing out their inner beauty while thoughtfully incorporating their unique stories and visions into each shoot. Deeply inspired by nature, Danielle loves photographing in Sedona’s landscapes as well as among mountains, oceans, flower fields, and desert backdrops. Having mastered her craft and mentored many photographers, she creates vibrant, storytelling imagery that reflects each client’s vision. Beyond photographing, Danielle is the heart of her business—personally communicating with clients, editing every image, and sharing her work across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, blogs, and her website.
Kaleo is Danielle’s husband, second shooter, associate photographer, and business partner, playing an essential role in both the creative and technical sides of the business. Known for capturing candid, in-between moments, he often shoots with a zoom lens to create soft, beautiful backgrounds while bringing humor and ease that helps clients feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. Having worked closely with Danielle for years, he has mastered her techniques and can seamlessly step into the role of lead photographer when needed. Originally from New York, Kaleo discovered his passion for photography while living in Alaska, where he assisted with aerial photography and developed a love for capturing landscapes and meaningful moments. He later moved to Arizona to study at Embry-Riddle, where he shifted from pursuing a career as a pilot to business aviation, eventually leading him to Scottsdale—where he met Danielle. From the very beginning, Kaleo became her right-hand man, helping with shoots, learning the craft, and building his own portfolio, making him an integral part of the Danielle Holman Wedding team.
