I don't even know where to begin, Danielle is amazing!
“It started with our engagement pictures. Chris and I had never had professional photos taken so we were a little nervous. She made it so easy and relaxed for us. It has rained most of the day but she communicated with us all day and watch the weather for us and we ended up being able to get our session in (the overcast made for the dreamiest lighting.) We even got include our dog in our photo session, which was amazing.
She made us feel so comfortable and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing! Fast forward to the wedding. Leading up to the wedding, she was so helpful with planning. She helped us get our timeline set down to the minute. She had questionnaires ready and example shot lists to make sure we got every picture and detail that we wanted captured. She was an absolute dream to work with on the wedding day. She made sure everything ran smoothly and everyone thought she was great to work with. Her associate, Lexi, was also great to work with. They made a super great team! We wouldn't have wanted anyone else to capture our special moments and will DEFINETLY be using her in the future!”

She has a remarkable ability to capture not just images, but emotions and moments that tell a story.
“I had the pleasure of working with Danielle and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From our very first interaction, it was clear that she was incredibly organized and dedicated to her craft. Every detail of our session was planned and we shot in all the locations that I had requested, which made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable.
Her knowledge of photography is impressive, and it truly shows in her work. I was especially amazed at how she handled lighting and composition, resulting in stunning photos that exceeded my expectations! By the way The Art Institute of Chicago is a phenomenal location. Beyond her technical skills, Danielle is genuinely talented and has a great eye for creativity. She made me and my fiancé feel comfortable and confident during our shoot, which really shines through in the final images. I walked away with beautiful photographs that I'm proud to share.
If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, creative, and passionate about what they do, look no further than Danielle Rose Photography! I'll definitely be coming back for future shoots including my wedding.”

Her photography is professional, artful, and beautiful
“Danielle and her colleague did such an amazing job taking photos for our wedding. Not only is her photography professional, artful, and beautiful, but she was able to make my spouse and me feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Also, she made the whole process easy by being a clear communicator and providing guidance for timeline and shot list decisions.
The free engagement shoot which was part of our package was also super helpful for getting used to being in front of the camera and we got beautiful photos as a result. 10/10 we would recommend anyone work with Danielle for their wedding!”
