Portfolio

Danielle Blancher was our wedding photographer in 2015. Four years later I still get compliments all the time on the amazing images she took. From the most candid moments to the most arranged; She thought outside the box for every one of them. Street art, bar scenes, street cars, "True Toronto" and the passion of the day came to life with her images. I wish I could live it all over again! It was exactly what we had envisioned when considering our wedding photographer. Danielle listened to my goals as a bride, she ensured that the "must have" shots were taken  and peppered that with the most brilliant inclusive, honest, hilarious and cherished images of our families, the guests, the staff, the food, and of course the party!

Danielle is the most professional and talented photographer. The photos are beautiful and exceeded every expectation. Danielle is kind, funny and made us feel incredibly comfortable. Her prices are fair and she was so happy to answer all of our (many) questions. We cannot wait to work with her again in the near future. Thanks again, Danielle. ❤

We had Danielle for our 2021 wedding. She was amazing to work with, and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She was super creative finding beautiful spots for pictures.
This girl is the best. Great eye and great time working with her! Would definitely recommend :)

Michelle Liddiard

Working with Danielle for our Wedding was a dream. She took the time to get to know exactly the style of wedding photos we were looking for, and she delivered exactly that. Danielle had fun ideas for different staged photos, and also got lots of amazing candid pictures of everyone having fun. Danielle was on time and  fun to work with, she had our 'sneak peek' photos to us 2 days after the wedding, which meant we were able to use them on our thank you cards. As for the rest of the photos it only took about 8 weeks to get, from what I've heard a lot of people wait 3-4 months for wedding photos so we happy to have them so fast! Danielle went above and beyond for us, I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Paradisus Playa del Carmen Engagement Session

<p>Paradisus Playa Del Carmen's sandy beaches are a dreamy location for a magical beach wedding. The combination of the natural beauty of the beach with the fairy-style bohemian lighting must have created an ethereal atmosphere.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As their wedding photographer/videographer, I was hired for five-hour coverage. I delivered a sneak peek within 3 days after their wedding and over 500 photographs in a password-protected gallery 4 weeks after their wedding. The photos captured all the magic, and put together a sweet three-minute highlight reel, jamming to a song they picked out.</p>
