More About Me

True, authentic moments.



Your wedding day is one of the most unforgettable days of your life. From the emotions of getting ready, to the joy of exchanging vows, to the first dance as a married couple, every moment deserves to be captured beautifully. As a San Diego wedding photographer, I’m here to ensure that every special moment is preserved in stunning, timeless images that will bring you back to the magic of your wedding day for years to come

What I offer


01.

Personalized Wedding Packages: No two couples are the same, and neither are their wedding day needs. I offer tailored packages that suit your style, preferences, and budget. Whether you’re looking for full-day coverage or an intimate elopement shoot, I’ll be there to capture every important moment.



02.

Stunning, Natural Photography: My style blends classic portraiture with candid shots that capture the raw emotions and beautiful details of your day. I focus on authentic moments that tell your love story, with a mix of posed portraits and natural, unscripted moments.



03.

A Relaxed Experience: Weddings can be stressful, but your photography experience doesn’t have to be. I strive to create a relaxed and enjoyable environment, helping you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera so that you can focus on what matters most – enjoying your day with your loved ones.



04.

Expert Editing and Delivery: After your wedding day, I carefully edit each image to ensure they reflect the beauty and emotion of your day. You’ll receive a collection of high-quality, fully edited photos in an online gallery, where you can easily share with friends and family or print your favorites.

"My (now) husband and I first contacted Darling Darlene Photography for our engagement session. Our first impression of Daniela was that she is very professional, kind, and showed a genuine care in asking exactly what we were hoping to receive from her as our photographer. She is very detail-oriented and put a lot of effort in making us comfortable for our very important engagement session.
We loved her work so much that we ended up hiring her as our wedding photographer and we are SO HAPPY we did."

"We cannot express how happy we were to work with Daniela. She took our engagement and wedding photos. We originally booked for a 2020 wedding but COVID happened and postponed our wedding. Daniela was very responsive and accommodating with change of date and venue. She listened to our photo requests and made sure to capture our special moments. We also got a wedding book which was beautifully put together that highlights the wedding from beginning to end. We would recommend everyone gets a wedding book."
