real stories, the kind that resonate because they're genuine

What makes us tick? How rad and unique our clients are. We flex our creativity in hopes of creating work as diverse as you are. Most of our clients aren’t professionals in front of the camera and it’s our job to put you at ease. After shooting photo and video for hundreds of weddings, we’ve mastered the craft of giving prompts and direction that elicit genuine interactions with you and your loved ones- and that is our magic.

  • "We just got married yesterday and I’m already writing this review"

    We just got married yesterday and I’m already writing this review, so that’s gotta tell you something! They made us feel so comfortable and seemed genuinely excited to be a part of our day!!! It was rainy, the plans changed a million times, we were behind schedule, and more... They rolled with EVERY punch!!! I literally have no fear about how these photos will turn out because they were so on top of it all day/night! Not to mention how flexible Dana & her team were when we needed to reschedule our wedding due to covid. SO responsive and helpful. She even gave us directions and tips on how to set up zoom for our virtual guests! Amazing people all around. Thank you all so much!!!

  • "I don’t regret splurging on this"

    Golden Hours did a fantastic job at our wedding! They were a preferred vendor at our venue, and it was nice to work with people that have done weddings there and could offer helpful suggestions. Their entire team was so easy to work with and made the whole process simple. Our wedding phots turned out beautiful as well, and I was truly blown away by how AMAZING our video highlight reel turned out. They were definitely one of the pricier vendors we looked at, but I don’t regret splurging on this at all.

  • "I asked for artsy negative space photos and she delivered"

    Dana at Golden Hours is the most amazing human and photographer! We started working with her for our engagement shoot where she made us feel so comfortable. Her energy and positivity helped get us through a very chaotic time, allowing us to still enjoy every moment of getting married. She captured my dream wedding photos along the lake (I asked for artsy negative space photos and she delivered)! Her videography team is also made up of positive and creative individuals. On top of all that, we used her for our photo booth at the reception, which our guests loved! We are so grateful to have worked with Dana for all of our wedding celebrations! 10/10 recommend!

  • "the BEST decision we made"

    Dana and her team was the BEST decision we made. I am a graphic designer and my husband is an architect so admittedly we are quite picky when it comes to style and quality. We were looking for an editorial style for our photos, something that captured the day without feeling too staged. Dana surpassed all of our expectations and I am in awe of the gorgeous photos she captured (even with our rainy day wedding). Dana was positive, beyond helpful, and made me feel so comfortable and special on my big day! Her obvious joy for life and photography shines through her work. I could not have asked for a better experience or final product.

  • "They will make you look and feel like supermodels on your best day ever, and keep you laughing throughout."

    The entire staff at Golden Hours Photography are truly the best in the business. Dana herself is a herculean planner and strategist who can easily ascertain your photo and video needs. She kept things speedy and fun, and our entire bridal party loved her enthusiasm, humor, and prodigious talent! The rest of the video team lived up to Dana's reputation! Everyone was so fun to work with and easy to be around, which is paramount to engineering a great experience for all involved. You know you've got great people on your team when the groomsmen are sad that the photographers and videographers are leaving for the night! We cannot recommend Dana and her crew enough. They will make you look and feel like supermodels on your best day ever, and keep you laughing throughout. HIRE THEM! 10/10 would recommend!

  • "She did a great job at putting us at ease & also getting to know us & our style so that the wedding shots would be perfect."

    I could not rate Golden Hours high enough! Our experience with the entire team was fantastic start to finish. I loved having our engagement shoot with Lauren (who absolutely NAILED it btw) because both my husband & I are not super comfortable in front of the camera. She did a great job at putting us at ease & also getting to know us & our style so that the wedding shots would be perfect. The photos themselves from the engagement shoot & wedding are GORGEOUS & I love the creativity brought to them. In addition to being aces behind the camera, communication with the team was easy & they were very quick to respond. Absolutely loved working with Dana & Lauren!
