Danielle is truly AMAZING! She is not only a very sweet woman and easy to work with but she knows how to capture every perfect moment! We had our mini session with her and I thought for sure my 4 year old messed up every pic... but nope, Danielle captured her sweet smile in some amazing candid shots. In addition, I have never received so many compliments on my Christmas Cards! More...

Danielle is extraordinarily talented and is able to capture beautiful family images, even in a short 15 minute session. I will admit I am extraordinarily picky when it comes to photographers - but Danielle does not disappoint. I have done family mini sessions with her the past two years and am thrilled with the results. She has a wonderful eye and is able to put her clients at ease. Thanks, Danielle! More...

Danielle is simply the best! We take our family photos with Danielle every year and each year, and I have loved all the different photo session photos. This year we took them at Natural Bridges and there were at least 200+ people on the beach enjoying their Sunday afternoon. I am not sure how she managed to take the photos with so much chaos going on but she did it with ease because every single photo turned out fantastic. Each photo literally looks like we are the only people on the beach! Danielle...you have a gift. Thank you for capturing our little family with your photos year after year... I truly love watching our kids grow and mature through your photographic artistic abilities! More...

Danielle is fantastic! Prior to working with Danielle I was more or less convinced I'd never take a picture I liked. Once I saw our engagement photos all my concerns were washed away. It was truly a gift to know that Danielle would be able to capture our wedding day exactly how we had hoped. She reads her clients super well, and adapts her style to make it work. She even notices small things like, when I was feeling fatigued from pics, brings humor when needed and just makes you feel so at ease. I feel so lucky we were able to score Danielle for our wedding. Thank you Danielle! More...

Danielle is extremely talented. She has that photographic eye that is super rare to find, especially with capturing natural, outdoor beauty. She was our photographer for our engagement shoot at Smith Rock and wedding ceremony in Sunriver. All of our photos are stunning (the hardest part is going to be choosing which ones to frame!). Danielle is easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable, looking and feeling our best. She was also super fast at getting our photos to us (1 week!). We highly recommend her for any occasion you want to capture on film. More...

My partner and I selected Danielle Gillett Photography for our wedding at Nestldown in Los Gatos, CA and TRULY could not be happier with her work from start to finish. Danielle was quick and responsive via email, as well as offered to meet with us in-person initially to discuss how her work could dovetail with our vision. We selected to have an additional photographer on the day-of, who was also FANTASTIC! Danielle and Savannah (second photographer) were easy-going yet focused, as well as added happiness and laughter to our day. The final photos from our wedding were breathtaking and showcased Danielle's excellent skill in photography, as well as having an eye for special moments. There are many options for photographers, and we are so grateful that we found Danielle. Her work ethic, creativity, and skill is unmatched and I highly recommend her for capturing your special occasion. More...

We were lucky to work with Danielle over 2 days for our wedding weekend where she captured both our western and Indian wedding ceremonies at Nestldown and Fairmont San Jose. Danielle knows Nestldown intimately well and our pictures reflect that. She knew where to find the best lighting, the best angles, and the best poses. We could not be happier!

On the following day at the Fairmont Hotel in downtown San Jose, Danielle captured the Baraat, and the ceremony, and kindly stayed some extra time to get large family portraits of our families.

Danielle made us feel comfortable from our first interaction over the phone and was also very responsive via email in the weeks leading up with the big weekend. She gets the pictures you want and the ones you didn't know you wanted! And of course, the pictures turned out stunning. We love them so much we still look at them almost daily after 2 months...

Danielle captured our special weekend with timeless photos and we couldn't be more pleased!

Danielle is so talented and kind. My fiancé and I really enjoyed working with her on both our engagement and wedding photos. She has a real talent for capturing nature and landscapes in tandem with portraits. One thing we really love about Danielle is her amazing use of light. We got married at Black Butte Ranch in January and even though we had a winter wedding, the photos are bright, airy, and warm.

Danielle was one of many great decisions for our wedding at Nestldown. My husband and i appreciated her even more because we are both people who hate to be the center of attention. We were immediately at ease with Danielle and constantly laughing, in our intro meeting and during our big day. We were a little worried about not knowing how to pose without an engagement session, but she knew just how to direct us without us needing to waste any time learning her cues. She was a joy to spend our day with, and the photographs are amazing. I think she managed to capture an amazing shot of nearly every guest, and we still have people gushing about the photos over a month later. Our photos came back quickly and we can't wait to see our wedding album. Danielle knew our venue, Nestldown, like the back of her hand and was able to shoot us in a variety of locations as well as incorporate some unique moments like the visiting banana slug.

Everyone says choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important pieces of planning your wedding. It was really easy for me after seeing Danielle's work and after meeting with her that she would be my first choice. She is very easy going, professional, and does not pressure you into anything.

We got married in San Rafael and Danielle came with her assistant, Brianna, who was also fantastic. They showed up right on time, calm and ready to get to work. This was another thing that I loved about Danielle was that she was so calm and relaxed and fun to be around. You don't realize how much time you spend with your photographer on your wedding day so it's important you like being around them. Again, even at our wedding venue (which she had not photographed at before), Danielle found some really cool places to shoot at. We got married in a courtyard type of setting, but we have wedding pictures from around the property that make it look like we were in a forest, at an old house, near palm trees. It's amazing how she was able to make all of the property at our venue look so beautiful, not to mention us! Some of the other things I was pleasantly surprised with was how many pictures she got of our guests at the reception.

My husband and I hired Danielle to do our maternity shoot when I was 35 weeks pregnant.  We met at Rancho San Antonio, a place she was familiar with and would give us the organic shots we hoped for.  In advance, I had shared some photos from Pinterest to give her an idea of what I was looking for.  Danielle went above and beyond to ensure that we got some of these shots and also some that in her expertise, she thought we would appreciate.  I arrived first to the shoot and she took her time with me.  She was fluid and elicited emotion by asking me to reflect on different questions or feelings about my soon to arrive baby.  When my husband arrived, he felt hurried and still wrapped up in work so it was hard for him to settle into the session.  Danielle clearly has worked through this problem before and did well with making jokes and helping him to feel comfortable.  She captured the joy of that season of our lives beautifully and we are so grateful for the photos she produced.  She has a genuine passion for her job and it shows in her work.  She is friendly, professional, responded quickly to our inquiry and got our photos back to us in a timely manner.

Danielle photographed our wedding in October 2015. Like everyone says, I think that choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important pieces of planning your wedding. It was really easy for me after seeing Danielle's work and after meeting with her that she would be my first choice. She is very easy going, professional, and like others have mentioned, does not pressure you into anything. Danielle was even better than I imagined though once we saw her in action. Our first experience with her was our engagement shoot. I was really open for a location and Danielle already knew of some spots she has photographed at before in Santa Cruz. So we went over there one evening and spent some time in a field, near a tree and then we also were going to go over to the beach to get some beach shots. On our walk out to the beach, we saw an artichoke field and decided to stop in there really quick to get some shots. I loved how she just went with the flow and the lighting and the surrounding to determine where to shoot. We got so many amazing shots in several different locations and I swear the entire shoot only took 2 hours (including the drive from the field to the beach/walking). We got married in San Rafael and Danielle came with her assistant, Brianna, who was also fantastic. They showed up right on time, calm and ready to get to work. This was another thing that I loved about Danielle was that she was so calm and relaxed and fun to be around.

We are so very thankful we had the opportunity to work with Danielle for our wedding in May! I had researched photographers for weeks and no one seemed to even come close to her in comparison. We got married at Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley and although she has never been to the venue before, you would have thought she had been there a hundred times! She called up the venue before hand to get more information about the grounds and worked with the Ranch to have someone available to drive us to the very best areas for the perfect photos. She really did her research!  She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed and worked wonderfully with my crazy family and all the busyness of the day. The photos she captured of our special day are truly beautiful and we are so happy with the way that they turned out. We would recommend anymore looking for a photographer in the Northern California area (or anywhere else because she loves to travel) to give her a call and book her ASAP! Thanks, Danielle! More...

We met with a few different photographers but loved her photos, style and felt she would be best to work with. Since we've never taken professional photos (or had a wedding!) we wanted someone to provide us with some direction, which Danielle was great with.We did our engagement pictures a few months before the wedding in Santa Cruz and Danielle picked out some beautiful spots....everyone commented on how our photos looked like they were from a movie or fairy tale. My husband and I were shocked by how beautiful the pictures turned out and how quickly we were able to take tons of photos.On our wedding day Danielle and her assistant were great! Not surprisingly I was a little stressed about staying on schedule and making sure the wedding went as planned. Danielle kept reassuring me that we were on time and had plenty of time to get all of the shots we needed. Danielle and her assistant captured photos of every aspect of the wedding from the detail shots, to our first look, amazing ceremony photos, fun photos of friends and family etc.We received a sneak peak of our wedding pictures within days of the wedding and received online access to view all of the photos within 2 weeks of the wedding. The hardest park was picking out the best photos for the album since they were all beautiful.

I am soooo glad we went with the best and did not skimp on the photography!! Plus as an added bonus, Danielle is super fast at sending the photos!! I hear girls waiting month before receiving even one photo. We were married on July 10 and Danielle already sent us some pictures on July 23!!! She said that she would be sending all of them to us next week! That is incredible turnaround time!! Danielle has an amazing talent, and I would recommend her to all brides. More...

Danielle and her assistant were the consummate professionals at our wedding. They were everywhere, yet somehow we never saw them! They really did attend to every detail and made worrying about the photography nonexistent. We didn't meet Danielle until the day of the wedding, because we live in Florida and planned our wedding long distance. The moment I met her, I felt completely comfortable, as if I had known her a long time. She made me feel completely at ease, and I felt confident that she was getting every shot I wanted, even though I never actually gave her a list of shots that I wanted! I cannot say enough good things about Danielle, and my husband and I would, without reservation, recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous photographer in the Santa Cruz area. More...

Danielle is the perfect combination of professional and friendly. Case in point: despite an accident prior to our shoot, Danielle pulled through splendidly, without complaint, and without sacrificing the quality of her work. She also made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera lens; she talked to us and made us laugh, erasing our initial nervousness to be the subjects of the photoshoot. Our photos turned out to be brilliant...very natural, but at the same time, artistic. She captured the various emotions we felt during our wedding day, from love and happiness, to surprise and tears. When we look at our photos now, we're awash with the same intense feeling of happiness that we felt during our wedding day. That's just how awesome Danielle is. More...
