OH HELLO.
NICE TO MEET YOU!
i'm so happy you ended up here (:
My name is Danika — here's a little bit about who I am + how I photograph love stories.
My goal is to document your wedding + love story in a way that will let you remember not only what it looked like, but how it felt.
LIFE LATELY ON FILM
In my own life when I think about my favourite photos, it’s the ones that feel nostalgic. My favourites are the ones where I’m surrounded by the people I love, in the places I love, doing the things I love, or where I’m making new memories with the people I love. It’s in those photographs where the nostalgia hits and that's what I want for you too, because photos that let you remember what it felt like are just the best!!
I photograph weddings, couples, and families in Kelowna, Penticton, and all over the Okanagan and really anywhere else you want to take me! I really love creating art + documenting stories that fill your own personal history book. I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of your wedding day, or documenting your family, so thank you for being here and checking out my work and what kind of shenanigans I'm in to. I can't wait to hear from you (:

15 Places you might find me when I'm not at a wedding or photographing you
1. long boarding downtown to hang with friends or to go to my fav restaurants (mad mango, momo sushi, latin fiesta, dosa crepe cafe, mi amore gelato, yummmmy)

3. bouldering at Gneiss or climbing outside on real rock! (also eating snacks and drinking sparkling water while everyone else climbs)
4. shooting 35mm film everywhere
5. in my kitchen cooking + eating plant based foods

7. at the lake in a floatie
8. watching youtube, but only on 1.75 speed
9. at the thrift store
10. on my couch being cozy, maybe watching Newsies (the musical, not a news channel)
11. on my balcony shouting at no one in particular “there’s a double rainbow!!!”

if you like lists, this is for you
If you're interested in my photography to document your wedding, elopement, love story, or family, I would love to hear from you!
My desire is to create photographs that leave you with a feeling, a memory, or nostalgia.
