“The entire booking process with Dakotah was incredibly easy and fast - all of my questions answered at one time with none of that back and forth business you get when trying to book wedding vendors. Beyond initial booking, Dakotah was able to document our wedding with the most perfect photos.

My husband and I are not camera people, or spotlight people, but Dakotah was able to capture our most relaxed and at-peace selves, I never knew how in-love we appeared to others until I saw our album. Booking Dakotah was the BEST vendor option we made, I recommend her for any and all photography needs!!”
