HI, I’M DANIKA. HAPPY YOU'RE HERE!
HI, I’M DANIKA. HAPPY YOU'RE HERE!
I’m a documentary wedding photographer from Kelowna, BC, and I've spent a decade photographing some of the best days of people's lives: engagements, weddings, new babies, growing families, and everything in between.
My desire is to create honest, intentional images that bring you back to exactly how it felt. Real moments, real people, really celebrating. All of it, across the Okanagan and Vancouver. If that sounds like what you're looking for, I'd love to hear from you.
THE DETAILS
Photographs are one of the few things that genuinely increase in value over time. It's a privilege and a joy to be trusted with that, to give you a visual history of everyone you love, all in one place.
The joy, the silliness, the tears, the laughter, the humanity. That's what I want to give back to you.
I photograph on both analog film and digital. There’s so much beauty in the artistry of film, the playfulness of it, the honesty of it. That's how I want to document your day.

Danika.....I am at a loss for words. Thank you for capturing so much raw emotion throughout our wedding day. It truly feels so wonderful to be able to look back at photos and remember to my core how I felt in different moments, and then to have such a personable storytelling element added on top of that....just wow. It means so much that you captured our guests too; honestly so amazing to be able to look back and see our loved ones frozen at that exact moment in time. We are going to cherish these forever. I can't thank you enough for not only the photos, but just what a stellar human being you are and how that added another dimension of love and friendship to our wedding day.

"A wonderful human being, and extraordinarily talented photographer; professional expertise paralleled with a fun and positive energy. [Danika] is truly one of the best decisions we made for our special day. From the moment we booked, we had regular communication, and she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Ever cool, calm, and collected throughout the wedding day, and with our family and friends. Our photos look AMAZING, we are so happy with them! She captured our day beautifully, and vividly."

TORI + BRENDON
"The way she captured our day brings us right back to the way we felt in the moment. We are so thankful to have the images that so perfectly captured not only the moments, but the feeling of our wedding.
The video Pierre created was so far beyond our wildest expectations! We still can’t watch it without crying!
They were so delightful to have with us throughout the day! They made everyone feel comfortable and brought out laughs when they needed to, and disappeared to capture to most raw moments when they needed to!"
BRIANNA + JAMES
"Danika was the best thing to happen to our wedding day! She fit our vibe perfectly and was so easy and fun to be around. Danika just embraced our awkwardness, relieved all the pressure, & delivered to us the most beautiful photos that capture exactly who we are as a couple. So many of our guests commented on how much they loved seeing Danika & her second shooter just getting right into the fun and action and it was as though they fit right in. She is worth every penny + more & if you want pictures that make you feel the moment, then she is your gal!"
DANIELLE + TREVOR
"Danika did a couple's session with us and WOW. Her perspective and artistry had me absolutely floored. And the session itself was so fun! She has the best prompts and little games, it felt like a total date night! Thank you Danika!!!!"

KRISTIAN + SIERRA
"Like actually, jaw dropped and I was speechless when i saw this! It's incredible!"
ROBYN + DILLON
"I don’t even know where to begin, but in a nutshell hiring Danika was the best decision we made in the entire wedding planning process. Danika is the sweetest, and her passion for photography really shows in her work. We were absolutely blown away by our *abundant* photo gallery from our wedding. Highly HIGHLY recommend."
One thing I love about film is the gift of slowing down, in how we observe the world around us, waiting for the right moment, anticipating the joy of seeing developed images. It's quite magical!
Film has been part of my life for a long time: from the nostalgia of my childhood photos, to the little film camera I carried everywhere in my young adulthood, to now photographing my own family and the love stories I get to witness each weekend.
If you find yourself admiring the artistry, playfulness, and honesty of film,
if you want photos that feel like you,
and you are nostalgic for the photographs that will live after your wedding,
I would love to hear from you!
