Daniela Cardili Photographer

Daniela was hands down our favorite person to work with at our wedding. Her work is absolutely stunning, and she is so wonderful to work with. My husband and I are both on the shy side in front of cameras, and she really put us at ease for both our engagement session and the wedding day, and we ended up having so much fun. She has so many helpful tips to pose, and knows so many hidden gems in the City to give you truly one of a kind shots. We love our photos and are so happy we had the honor to work with her.

To put simply, Daniela is the best. We did an extensive search for a photographer and reading about Daniela is what first drew us in, but it was our initial conversations we had with her that solidified our choice. Pat originally spoke with her and I remember him telling me so confidently that Daniela was the one. We had another phone call and I knew he was right as Daniela not only knew our vision for our day but also had a lot of great insights for us. We then had the opportunity to have Daniela do our engagement photoshoot and while it was a cold day, she took such amazing shots that we were so confident that our wedding day photos would be priceless… and they were. Daniela is so talented, but also so enjoyable to work with. She is so incredibly kind and did a fantastic job with all personalities that weekend. I cannot say enough how much I would recommend Daniela! Thank you lastly to Daniela for photographing our Welcome Drinks - by the end of the weekend, Daniela felt like family and we are so incredible happy we had met her!

Just amazing!!! Daniela is such a sweet and talented person. Her passion for her job shines through and she takes such good care of her clients. We had an engagement session scheduled for outside and she texted me a few days before to let me know that it was going to be in the teens that day...she was still open to doing it outside if I wanted to (what a trooper). We decided against it but she also provided wonderful indoor suggestions as well. My now husband and I truthfully haven't taken many photos together as we met right before the pandemic. She was very patient with us and taught us everything we needed to know i.e. don't slouch and put your weight on your back leg. She is again so kind and took our individual personalities into account to make sure we had natural and beautiful photos. We also wanted to go off the beaten path a little and she was super passionate about our ideas and found ways to make sure the photos came out well. We had an Indian wedding and she was very knowledgeable about the process and was able to take pictures of every important detail during the ceremony. After the ceremony, the guests, as anyone that has attended an Indian wedding probably knows, decided to go a bit off-script and began to pose with us at the alter. Daniela was so kind and made sure we got a picture with everyone which was so amazing!!! That was not on the list of photos but she went with it and made sure to place us all in the right spot. I am so happy we decided to work with her for our wedding and I know she will be a friend to us for years to come!!! If you are on the fence, meet Daniela or speak to her on the phone and YOU WILL KNOW immediately!

I can't say enough good things about Daniela! She is so detail oriented and very professional. She caught issues with my timelines before I did and gave a very consultative approach to help guide me to the best outcome. My pictures are beyond what I could image - she just captures the light, the moment and the vibe so well. I plan on using Daniela in the future for any family picture needs - that is if she isn't booked solid with weddings!!

Daniela is absolutely amazing! She was so helpful from the second we booked her as a photographer to our wedding day. Daniela helped with our timeline to make the day run as smoothly as possible. She is so talented and absolutely blew us away with the photos- they were everything we could have ever imagined and more! She captured all of our special moments so perfectly. Daniela is so passionate about her work and it really shines through! We highly recommend Daniela for all your photography needs.

Daniela Cardili Photography was the first photography vendor we reached out to for our wedding, and it became instantly clear that she and her team were the perfect fit. When going through different photographers' photos on review sites, we fell in love with the stunning compositions and authenticity in Daniela's collections. Shortly after arranging our appointment with her, we also found out that she was a friend's photographer for their wedding - they not only highly recommended her, but said they were planning to book her for their baby shower too. We were excited to meet with her knowing her work and our friend's experience, and she did not disappoint. From the start, she got to know us and what we wanted, and even arranged an example timeline based on our plan for both a morning and evening wedding - which we then used to guide a lot of our initial wedding planning! It was great to have someone so organized and confident involved because it made our planning (we did not have a wedding planner/coordinator) so much easier. Come the actual wedding day: we were amazed how everything happened like clockwork, and how easily Daniela and Tamara navigated even the craziest parts. Family portraits aren't easy and so we had initially planned to take family portraits then with friends if there was time; but they not only made the family portraits happen, they made them happen in time for us to get all of our friends in too! The attention to the details was simply incredible. They caught wonderful moments of every event across the entire day, of which there were many: getting ready, the Baraat, morning Hindu ceremony, first look, Ketubah signing, evening Jewish ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, dancing, and of course, the photoshoots. The photoshoots were nothing short of a dream, to say the least (the photos are plenty proof of that; she also made a beautiful reel on social media). We had so much fun going to our different sites and enjoying our day to the fullest! Seeing how excited they were to be there too made it all even better. After the wedding, Daniela was able to get us our pictures afterwards with amazing timeliness (despite us essentially having the same number of photos as two weddings!). The results were as breathtaking and stunning as we hoped for and more. We are constantly looking at our online album (so excited for the physical one!) not only because we love how beautiful the photos are, but also because of how intimately they capture the feelings of pure joy that we felt in those moments. Daniela and Tamara were truly an integral part of our wedding - we will forever be thankful for them, and for the wonderful memories they've given us through our time spent together and their truly spectacular photography.

Daniela was incredible from the very start! She was communicative, thoughtful, and even worked with us on a very tight schedule for engagement pictures! She is so talented and also so fun to work with! We have gotten SO many compliments on our wedding photos; not to mention we are absolutely in love with them. We got the comment they look like they are out of a storybook fairytale; which I completely agree with! Thank you Daniela!!!

When I was looking for my wedding photographer, I stumbled across Daniela's portfolio and I was immediately impressed with the elegant and timelessness feel of her work. It immediately made me want to work with her! I inquired with Daniela, and our initial conversation was as if she was already my photographer - telling me when the sunset on our wedding day and exactly where we could go for my photos. Daniela was also willing to work with me on my package to fit the needs of myself and my extended family! I have received an immense amount of compliments on how beautiful our engagement and wedding photos are all due to Daniela's ability to capture the raw, intimate moments with an elegant yet realistic feel. Daniela and her team were fabulous to work with the day of - and it truly shows in the gorgeous photos we've received!!

Choosing Daniela as our wedding photographer was the best possible decision we made for our wedding!! From the moment I spoke with her and shared my vision for the wedding, I could tell that Daniela was going to do everything possible to capture our special day in the best way possible. She was professional, knowledgeable, and radiated with passion for her craft. She made helpful suggestions on the overall schedule of the day and places to take photos. She reached out promptly and I didn't have to chase after her if I needed anything leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, Daniela did not put that camera down for a second and was always looking for creative ways to capture special moments. I knew in that moment that our photos were going to be good and they turned out amazing!! I smile every time I look at them. I am so glad that we have these beautiful photos to have as a memory from our wedding day. I could not recommend Daniela more. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
