You can call me D Lee :) I've always loved photography, inspired by the emotional power that a single frame can capture. I had always toted around my camera, taking pictures at weddings and events. It wasn't until my son was born that I started to take m
y pictures seriously. From there grew a passion to get creative and explore how I could help others capture life's most important moments. Being an event and wedding planner for over 10 years, I understand the emotions that fill a wedding day and how images tell a lasting story of this momentous occasion. I hope you like what I do because I love doing it and I would be honored to tell your story. A little more about me: I'm originally from Michigan, Lee is just one of my middle names, Darling is the other. I love to dance, I'm obsessed with music and never turn down a glass of wine.

I started taking pictures in high school and college using various film cameras. Digital cameras were not available back then. It wasn't until my daughter, Stella, was born until I picked up my first digital SLR. It was like riding a bike though and soon my years of experience shooting for a local newspaper were re-etched into my brain. Danielle and her husband had their first date at my wedding. We've been friends ever since. We started discussing how fun it would be to combine our talents in 2011 and we started shooting weddings soon after. Danielle and I make a great team and together we'll capture those images that you will treasure forever. A little more about me: I'm a computer geek by trade. When I'm not behind a camera I can usually be found working on my yard, cooking on the grill or hanging out with my wife and daughter at the park. We look forward to learning all about you and helping you tell your story!
