    Hello!!! I'm Daniella and I'm so happy that you've clicked on my page! With over 15 years of experience, every portrait session or wedding I shoot is a unique and fun adventure. I love telling stories through images and capturing beautiful portraits. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive space for your special day, celebrating your love of cosplay, fandoms, sci-fi, and magic. Dagger bridesmaid bouquets photo by Koontz Photography on Offbeat Bride 4 alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride) At Koontz Photography, I blend professionalism, creativity, and a personal touch to capture your unique moments. Clients praise my responsiveness, attention to detail, and ability to make everyone feel at ease. My high-quality, magazine-worthy photos truly reflect your special day’s essence.   Being a traditionally trained artist, I have a keen eye for composition, lighting, and color. As a wife and mother, I understand the joys and challenges of planning an offbeat wedding and working on a budget. Running a small, woman-owned, LGBT-friendly business has equipped me with the skills to ensure a positive client experience from start to finish.   Whether you're looking for an offbeat vibe or a classic touch, my work speaks to a diverse range of styles and preferences, always with dedication and care. Experience the magic of Koontz Photography, where every moment is a masterpiece and every client is treated with respect and kindness.   But enough about me—I can't wait to hear all about how you met, how the engagement went, what you guys do for fun, and especially if you have any fur babies!

    How I cater to offbeat weddings

    My company prides itself on being inclusive, equitable, and body-positive! Our contracts are gender-neutral while leaving spaces for preferred names, pronouns, and any needed accommodations to keep in mind.

    We love everyone; No matter how you look, how you identify, or who you love. When you work with me, you are getting more than someone to “press a button”, you are investing in an ally. From putting in veils to pinning boutonnières, I will be there to help you both look and feel your best.

    With an average of 50 weddings a year, when you work with me, you won’t have to worry about your photographer getting all the shots. I know the ins and outs of a typical wedding day, I know how to assemble large families, and I promise to do my utmost to keep everything running on time. This way you’ll get to focus on enjoying what matters most; your friends and family.

     

    Daniella was an amazing photographer who has such beautiful pictures that people keep asking me for her information! She takes high quality, creative, beautiful pictures that seem like they came out of a magazine (at least that’s what everyone keeps telling me)! Her communication was incredible. She was so friendly, patient, creative, and took such beautiful shots that we are so so so happy with. She was on time, organized, and well prepared. She got some really special shots that I didn’t even think about, and I’m so happy for them...they are some of my favorites. We are so grateful to have had her and her team!
