Welcome to Danni Lea Photo!
storyteller of genuine moments in your incredible love story
"Once upon a time" is the beginning of many of our childhood favorite stories. Though we know there aren't many talking gingerbread men making their escape or damsels dropping their long hair out of towers, we all have a story to tell. My personal favorite stories are always the love stories, and I take my job of telling those stories to heart. Your love story is one you start sharing when someone asks you who your significant other is and you start with a soft smile.
One day you'll hear: "how long have you two been married?" And you'll smile and look up at the framed photo on your wall and begin retelling your story again of some of your favorite memories that make up your love story.
My job as a photographer is just a moment in your love story, but I'm here to capture these moments for you to love, share and smile about for years and story times to come.

I'm Danielle!
And this is my story.
Wedding photography is my favorite. No, really! Getting to meet people in love, being in the middle of celebration, and making people feel and look GREAT is what makes my heart full!
Even more than that, wedding photography has intertwined itself within my story both as a recent bride myself, and because of what photography means to me. With a family history of Alzheimer's disease and some neurons that never fully recovered after some (yes, some) concussions, I know first hand that photos can help trigger our senses to trigger our memories. They help us tell stories and keep telling them long after we can't tell them any more. That is what drives me.
It's the life that is in the little moments (giggling over extravagant milkshakes from Wawa) to the big moments (when we said our vows with our toes in the sand). The photos that we surround ourselves with because they narrate our lives together are the proof that our love story has been built over time.

He's the one
that keeps me laughing.
Our wedding day did NOT go as planned. We had to re-plan everything except my husband's tux 8 weeks before our wedding. And on our wedding day, we ad-libbed in our vows a bit to talk about the craziness of all the sandflies in our faces, and the fact that we had to run to HEB after an 8 hour road trip to get flowers because we left my bouquet at home. It was the most perfectly imperfect day in the best of ways.
My husband (still makes me smile to say that!) found all of the ways to make me smile and laugh through all of the crazy, and that's what makes him the best behind the scenes partner of all. Brendan is the best supporter and cheerleader of my dreams as we continue to write our own love story.
There is no one else I'd rather go through life with than him!

Our kids have paws!
Meet Audrey, Dragon and Dink.
During the week, I spend a lot of time cleaning fur off of my scrubs as an office manager and tech at a small veterinary clinic. That's how we met two of our three fur babies.
Audrey, our little diva queen, road tripped with us from Pennsylvania when Brendan first moved to Texas. She is a SASSY grey cat but loves being combed while she snacks.
Dragon came to us as a rescue that was brought into the clinic where I work. He immediately snuggled up against my chest and came home with me the next day. He's rambunctious and loves redecorating the whole living room, especially when he gets a new fluffy toy and he loves a good naptime with all the snuggles!
Dink (short for "Humperdinck") is our newest addition and is the absolute cuddliest cat I have ever met in my entire life. His favorite thing in the world is making friends and wrestling his doggo big brother.
my Personal faves
These are a few
of my favorite things.
At our house, family cuddle time usually involves reruns of FRIENDS, watching a good Marvel movie or being inspired by some of Gordon Ramsay's shows (Uncharted and Next Level are our current favorites!).
I love red lipstick, dancing in kitchen, and watching Audrey Hepburn movies.
My go to coffee bounces between a straight black and a yummy Pumpkin Cold Brew from Starbies with EXTRA foam.
I love a good chat over a hot cup of tea and sharing life with people. And yes, I will help your guests remember the steps to The Wobble (gotta show of my Philly moves!).
Most of all, I'd love to meet you!
