Dana was extremely professional, fun to work with, creative and we got the most beautiful pictures we could have ever asked for. I would highly recommend her for any venue! We had outdoor, nighttime wedding which can be challenging. The lighting and everything was perfect!! More...

Dana photographed our May 2019 wedding on Amelia Island and we could not be happier with our experience working with her as well as our photos. We booked Dana as our photographer more than a year in advance and for the entire time leading up to our wedding she was organized, communicative, kind, and walked us through the process step-by-step. She was extremely quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had. On our wedding day, she guided us and our family through every shot with firmness, yet kindness. It was clear she knew what shots she wanted and was able to effectively communicate with us so we could position ourselves appropriately. She was also able to work quickly, particularly with our formal shots, so we could spend more time with our guests. She was calm and sure for the entire day which allowed us to let go about worrying about the photos and just enjoy the day. I wholeheartedly recommend Dana to any couple looking for a wedding photographer. More...

Dana did an INCREDIBLE job on our photos! I was so pleased with how they turned out. Not only that, but Dana was so helpful throughout the entire experience (as we know weddings can be stressful! ). This was one less thing I had to worry about. She did a great job of getting lots of different sceneries which made for plenty of unique photos. It’s impossible to choose a favorite! I had multiple people tell me our photos looked like they should be in a magazine! She was so pleasant and friendly and I would absolutely refer anyone to her! More...

Our pictures were seriously amazing. Dana is fabulous. I can't recommend her enough as a photographer for someone's special day. Everything was very laid back and fun but also organized and to the point which was important to me. I didn't want to spend the entire day trying to round up everyone for pictures. She was so easy to work with and everything fell into place. My husband didn't even complain too much (and he hates pictures). She returned our pictures in a timely manner and I had so many compliments. She captured the entire day perfectly from getting ready with my best friends to dancing the night way on the dance floor. I couldn't have asked for someone better to capture our love together. Everything looked so natural! She is also very knowledgable and knew exactly where pictures would turn out with certain light and found secret spots that were absolutely beautiful ! More...

I just finished reliving my daughters beautiful New Years Eve wedding at Epping Forest Yacht Club. I do so at least once a week by going through the absolutely gorgeous photos that her photographer, Dana Goodson, took. The pictures are seriously stunning. Dana captured Meg and Jay's wedding perfectly from start to finish, doing it with a smile on her face! She arrived to the bride's room right on time and like clockwork took charge, creating a vision of fairytale pictures. So many of our guest complimented us on how they loved the fact that everything was so organized, and they weren't having to wait hours after the ceremony to wait on the bride and groom while they had their pictures made. Dana knew exactly what to do in a timely manner, and the wedding couple actually got to enjoy the cocktail hour rather than to pose for a million pictures, due to the fact that Dana choreographed the whole thing so well. We also didn't have to wait long to get the photos back, and she even sent us a sneak peak while my daughter was on her honeymoon! If you are looking for a quality photographer for your wedding, who knows how to capture the most beautiful moments, look no further than Dana Goodson. Truly one of the best decisions we made.

Dana is by far the BEST in the business!!! We instantly loved how organized, experienced, professional, and kind she was from the first time we met! She did our engagement pictures which were phenomenal - and we couldn't wait until we did our wedding photos! They were absolutely perfect!! Dana is extremely experienced and makes you feel like she has everything covered from the preparation before the big day, and then all the way throughout! She easily kept track of the timeline and which pictures we requested, as well as came up with many of her own creative shots! The picture quality and angles were also gorgeous - not to mention her beautiful editing! Thank you, Dana!! More...

I would give Dana 100 stars if I could. She is absolutely THE BEST. She is a professional in every sense of the word. We received our engagement shoot photos and wedding photos back in less than two weeks of each event. Every picture was perfect. It is impossible to chose a favorite.

She isn't cheap, but it is worth every single penny. I don't think photography is something that a bride should try and get a deal on. People won't remember what the cake looked like or what types of flowers were on the tables. But you will ALWAYS have your wedding photos to look back on and if you go with Dana you'll be happy forever.

She was always on time. She was easy to communicate with. I would suggest following her lead come the day of. Tell her if there are specific photos you want, but know that she is the best in town and trust in what she is doing. More...

I once had a friend who said to me: "You're when you go for your wedding photography, you are really only hoping to get just that one photo that you will display in your home for the rest of your life"; well with Dana I can firmly say that we have more than just 1 or 2 photos hanging in our home, instead you find a variety of different and compelling photos placed throughout. Dana was absolutely superb and did an amazing job of capturing both the set piece moments as well as those candid shots during the ceremony and reception. Her knowledge of photography, color, and lighting really made our photos spectacular. We could not have been more pleased with the way everything turned out!!! More...

Dana will capture those memories that you will share for a lifetime. She did a great job photographing the emotion of our wedding, if I had to do it all over again, I would pick her every time.
After a short call to Dana we knew that she was passionate about photography and not only recording our event through photos but really capturing the memories for us.

On our wedding day she captured my husband and his groomsmen quickly and stayed out of their space enough to see those emotions that were still trying to stay hidden. She arrived early to my getting ready location, before I knew it we were supposed to be on the way to our first look. Looking back, one of the best parts of the day was Dana seeing the amazing lighting that just happened to occur at our location, she delayed the timeline and made sure to capture me getting ready in that light. She gave us as much time during the first look as we needed until she set us up for other shots. This time alone with my husband was great, it was as though she wasn’t there.

If I can give any future words of advice to a bride or groom to be – make slow movements, look at each other, be you and enjoy the day. Let the photographer capture you all – those are the photos that will bring back memories of a lifetime. Your friends will take enough photos to “record” the events on their phones, but let the photographer capture the moment and the emotions. Dana will do exactly that. More...

Dana was the perfect choice as our wedding photographer. She was highly recommended by our friends and family, and she did not disappoint. Dana is extremely professional, extraordinarily talented, and just so sweet. She had so much patience on our wedding day and went out of her way to make sure we got all the best shots. She tried her best to keep us on track when we were running late and just kept smiling every time we asked for another group photo. She is so kindhearted and genuinely a lovely person. And her assistant Brittany was very sweet too! She got our photos back to us in a timely fashion (about 3 weeks after the wedding) and they all turned out beautifully. Thank you so much, Dana!

Choosing a photographer for our wedding was a HUGE deal. We didn't have a videographer, so capturing our day and the feeling it gave us through photos was of utmost importance. Dana was extremely easy to work with and very professional. We had an initial call with her to talk through our options and what we can expect from her services. She was also very willing to listen to what we wanted and was open to any additions/changes we requested. On the day of the wedding she showed up on time and her and her assistant were extremely professional and did a great job of capturing the moments without you even knowing they were there. Dana did an amazing job with the photos & editing, and we are in love with how they turned out. Another thing we really appreciated about Dana was her quick turnaround time in getting the photos back to us - this was a HUGE plus as a bride dying to see photos!!!

Choosing a photographer was our biggest priority after booking our venue so we put a lot of time and effort into finding the right person. After doing tons of research we finally decided on Dana, and it was one of the best decisions we made. We loved working with her! Not only is her work absolutely stunning, Dana is the nicest person you could ever hope to work with. She always responded to questions quickly, and she was very helpful, offering great advice when we were trying to choose locations to shoot our photos. My husband and I were nervous the day of the wedding because we don’t like being the center of attention, and we thought we’d feel uncomfortable posing for pictures, but Dana and her assistant were so comfortable to be around and so good at what they do that they put us completely at ease. We actually had fun hanging out with them while we were taking pictures!

And let’s not forget about the quality of Dana’s photos: they’re gorgeous. Unfortunately, the weather was not very cooperative the day of our wedding (there were reports of snow flurries and the skies were overcast and gray), but Dana is so good at what she does that the undesirable weather didn’t stop her from capturing beautiful photos of our day. We got our pictures back quickly after the wedding, and everyone that’s seen them has commented on how talented she is. They’re that good.

We really can't say enough about Dana and the quality of her work. Her photos are amazing, and she's such a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding! More...

Let me begin with the fact that she is by FAR the most amazing photographer-ever! When I married my husband, neither he nor I had ever been professionally photographed until our wedding day. .... we did not do engagement pictures, had never had any family photos done...nothing!

Choosing a photographer is perhaps one of the most important decisions of the wedding planning process. Once I reviewed Dana's portfolio and spoke with her, I knew she was the photographer for me. Her photos are absolutely gorgeous and timeless. I did not want trendy photos, but photos I would love in 50 years, and Dana blew my expectations out of the water. She has a talent for lighting- each photo captures the light beautifully and she seemed to get every moment of the wedding day. We got married during the Nights of Lights in St. Augustine so we wanted some nighttime photos- and WOW! Not many people can create a beautiful photo shoot at night, but Dana certainly did. Aside from her talent, Dana is so sweet and personable- a true pleasure to work with (and that's very important when you are spending 10+hours with a person). Thank you for everything, Dana! We will treasure these photos and memories! More...

Dana is a very polished and professional photographer. She seemed to be everywhere on the day and captured a lot of fantastic detail. In particular we liked that she didn't "coach" us too much to pose or look a certain way - we felt very natural and relaxed.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dana and her team. Being from Chicago and having a wedding down in Florida it was a risk hiring vendors and not knowing much about them, but Dana not only met our expectations, she exceed and so much more! Prior to the wedding and in the planning phases, was responsive and super communicative over email, phone and even made the time to meet with us in person on one of our trips to Florida. As for the day of the wedding everything ran so smoothly, she assisted in making the timeline in advance which was a vital piece to the day. She was such a calm and laid back presence the day of the wedding. She was a pleasure to work with, she was quick, efficient and did a great job of not letting the pictures take over the wedding or taking up all the time. We are so appreciative of her sweet personality and wonderful photography skills. We recently received the final photos and they are FANTASTIC, she captured every vital moment along with the small mundane ones which made it all so much more special. She did a great job candidly telling the story of our day through her amazing work. We are so so so happy that we found Dana and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous photographer! More...
