Dana Marie Photography

Working with Dana and her husband, Joe, for our wedding day was definitely the best decision we could have made!

We booked Dana Marie Photography for our July 2024 wedding at the Golden Sands in Ocean City Maryland. My husband and I are from the Scranton, PA area, so we did not know much about vendors in the Maryland area. We had our initial meeting with her by phone and we knew right away she was going to be the perfect fit. Dana took the time to give me advice on other vendors in the area and I was so thankful for that.

Although we did not get to meet Dana in person until the day of the wedding, she was so responsive to my emails prior to and after the wedding. She also put together a timeline for us for the day of the wedding, which was so helpful as I did not have a wedding planner.

Dana took the time to learn the names and relationships of each one of our 24 person bridal party. She also did a great job of keeping everyone in line and making the portrait portion of the wedding run so seamlessly. She also made sure we were able to attend our cocktail hour, while still capturing every photo we asked for.

It rained for the majority of our wedding day, which is not ideal for a beach wedding. From the second Dana got there she reported the weather to me. While our first look and most of the group bridal party photos needed to take place inside, we had a 45 minute window for our ceremony and portraits on the beach. I am not sure how she managed to capture so many great photos with such undesirable conditions.

One thing that was really important to us was having a photographer who knew how to work with the lighting from the sun at the beach and Dana was a perfect match. Our photos were sent back to us so quickly and they were everything we could have asked for and more.

We could not recommend Dana more and we cannot wait to work with her again in the future for family portraits.

Dana was nothing short of amazing! To start, she was incredibly responsive and clear with communication. On the day of our wedding she was incredible professional but nit stuffy. So easy to work with, and she completely put us at ease. She captured every moment of our small event perfectly! The pictures were delivered in a short time, and looked incredible. I could not have asked for a better experience. I would 1,000% recommend Dana for your special day! Thank you Dana!

Wow is what comes to mind when summing up our recent beach family photography session with Dana! She made time for us while we were on vacation somewhat last minute and showed off her talent in a personable, professional and timely manner! Not only did we have fun but she made us all comfortable and had my son smiling from ear to ear. She captured amazing photos with less than perfect weather. I appreciate Dana’s professionalism, responsiveness and quick turnaround. We will definitely use her services again when we visit OCMD again!
