Okay maybe I messed up...

I announced my christmas mini dates and locations to my VIP email list and three people reached out because they were hoping to see a south western Ontario location. This year I just can't risk having to do a rain date outdoors so if I do book something it has to be safely and aesthetically indoors.

The Studio Sisters in Chatham, Ontario have announced a beautiful Christmas install.

Which date would you book if you would be seriously interested in booking a Christmas mini with me in Chatham this year?

November 9th
November 16th
November 22nd

One year ago today 🤍
Happy first anniversary to the beautiful Kelby + Carter!

I can’t believe I haven’t shared their wedding in its own post until now. The day was an absolute dream from start to finish. I captured it hybrid, photo + video, and it’s one of those days I’d relive in a heartbeat.

I might just have to dig up their film soon, because I still love every single moment from this day.

✨ Hey friends, I realized I haven’t properly introduced myself here in a while! ✨

I’m Daarssen (but you can call me Dani or Danielle), the face behind the camera and the storyteller behind the moments you see here. I’m a Wedding and Motherhood photographer who loves capturing the real, in-between moments – the laughter, the tears, and those quiet little glances that say everything. I specialize in documenting laidback couples, growing families and all the chapters in between with an authentic, storytelling approach.

When I’m not photographing amazing humans (and sometimes their Pets!) you can usually find me hiking with my dog and baby, drinking Coke Zero but swearing I’m going to start drinking more water “soon,” and driving all over this half of the province for both work and time with family and friends at the cottage or my parents’ farm.

If you’re new here, I share my authentic journey (only 7 months in) of motherhood while running a business I care deeply about, probably too many photos of my dog (she’s stunning, I can’t help it), and lots of my favorite photos and videos from my clients’ wedding days and family sessions.

I’m so glad you’re here! I’d love to get to know you too, so drop a 👋 in the comments and tell me one thing you’re loving lately.

When people ask me if my job is stressful, I never know quite how to answer… because this is what I get to be part of.

Backyard weddings where the couple’s dog signs the marriage license (with a paw print), they ride off together on motorbikes - heels and all - and spend the rest of the day eating, drinking, and laughing with their favorite people.

It’s intimate. It’s joyful. It’s deeply personal.

And somehow, I get a front-row seat to it all.

Whether it’s a cottage elopement, a farm wedding, a church wedding, a small wedding with dogs in bowties, or a celebration that looks nothing like tradition - I’m endlessly grateful to be invited into these wildly meaningful days. I hope I never have to retire.

If you’re planning a wedding that feels like you - laid-back, intentional, dog-friendly - I’d love to be there. 🖤

Ginny somehow matched her engagement session dress to the sky and I’m kind of obsessed and a little confused how she somehow knew it would look this good! 🩵🩷💜🍬

Happy Canada Day!
These two kicked off the best ‘long weekend’ of the year with their stunning day at the Inn on the Twenty in Jordan 🤍
I just delivered their 182 photo sneak peek gallery and had to share these two favourite frames from their day with the Canada Flag showing off in frame one 🇨🇦

How lucky are we to call this place home 🫶🏽

Returned from my BC adventure ⛰️ and it felt like a dreamy mix of Hollow Coves, mystical forest walks, golden morning sunrises over the mountains, wholesome food, and overcoming my acrophobia. And let's not forget my misty morning session with these west coast cuties 👌
Traveling across Canada is my favourite thing, and experiencing BC's beauty with my mini-me was pure bliss 🤍

It’s too early in to motherhood for me to feel that Mother’s Day is about being celebrated for all the hard work and sacrifice I’m sure motherhood will one day be about. This year however, being a mother feels like the closest to heaven that I’ve ever been and I’m celebrating the greatest gift of my life- her!
To all the moms, aunts, dog moms, grandmas, ect. I hope you are absolutely spoiled 🤍

Daniela + Shaun
Their vows to each other brought both Austin and I to complete tears and we repeatedly whispered to each other ‘these two really love each other’ multiple times during the day. There’s something very special about two people willing to be vulnerable enough to share their love so freely with the world. I honestly couldn’t be more grateful they chose us to share in their love on this perfect day ❤️

Seeing sunshine and warmth for the first time simultaneously after months of cold is a feeling I’m sure those who live in southern climates will just never understand. Thinking back to just 6 months ago when these photos were taken, all of these gorgeous fields of flowers were in full bloom and painted each frame with vibrant colour. In case you didn’t know, I LOVE . This elopement styled session sat on a hard drive this whole time waiting for me to finally be ‘caught up enough’ to enjoy again and now I’m so ready to among these flowers again in just a few more months 🙏🏽✨🌷🌸🪻
