THESE TWO HAVE A VERY UNCONVENTIONAL LOVE STORY; MATILDA WON THE HEART OF ART ON THE FIRST SEASON THE BACHELOR NEW ZEALAND. IT WAS A DREAM FOR ME TO BE THE PHOTOGRAPHER AT THEIR WEDDING ON WAIHEKE ISLAND.

– DANELLE

“We had the pleasure of Danelle and her husband Dirk doing our wedding photography, and the whole process was so easy and enjoyable. Danelle is so experienced with weddings, so we felt like we were in great hands.

We didn’t even have to wrangle family members for photos, Danelle had it sorted! We can’t recommend Danelle and Dirk enough. Our photos are absolutely stunning, and we will cherish them forever!”

BEING APART OF KATHRYN AND JOSH BROLIN’S WEDDING WILL FOREVER BE ONE OF MY BIGGEST CAREER HIGHLIGHTS, THESE TWO PEOPLE ARE SOME OF THE MOST GENUINE SOULS YOU WILL MEET AND FEEL INCREDIBLY LUCKY TO DOCUMENT THEIR DAY.

– DANELLE

TWO TALENTED AND EXTREMELY KIND SOULS. BEING APART OF SOPHIE AND WILL’S DAY WAS NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING, AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THEIR WEDDING IT WAS SO SPECIAL TO FINALLY CELEBRATE THIS COUPLE GETTING MARRIED.

–  DANELLE

“We had long dreamt of having Danelle Bohane document our wedding. Danelle has a particularly special way of capturing the essence of the day, as well as all of the intimate moments, details and emotions in-between. Her photographs are timeless and beautiful, each a piece of art in its own right.

What we found amazing was how Danelle managed to produce such exquisite images while being so relaxed with her direction, which made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. On top of this, she was such a pleasure to work with – incredibly efficient, helpful and a complete joy to be around on our wedding day. We will treasure our wedding photos for the rest of our lives.”

IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO PHOTOGRAPH BILLY AND NICOLE’S WEDDING DAY. I ADORED WATCHING THEM LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND SOAK UP EVERY BIT OF LOVE AND MAGIC THAT WAS TAKING PLACE ON THIS SPECIAL DAY.

– DANELLE

“Danelle and Dirk were such a joy to have around on our wedding day. They both have such a calm and lovely presence, while discretely capturing beautiful moments throughout the day.

We loved our wedding photographs, and could not recommend them more.”

WHEN STRANGERS BECOME INSTANT FRIENDS; THIS IS THE WAY IT FELT WITH JAMES AND JEN. IT WAS SUCH A PLEASURE TO BE APART OF THEIR DAY AT HER FAMILY HOME IN CANTERBURY, SNOWY MOUNTAINS AND FLORAL FIELDS. 

– DANELLE

Danelle and her husband Dirk are a talented and creative team, there is no stress, no barking orders, they feel like old friends who are just happily snapping away. They are both extremely professional and in all my dealings with them I knew I could trust them to deliver some amazing photographs no matter what! Danelle even skyped me all the way in Broome years away from my wedding to answer my questions and just chat. It is this personal connection Danelle makes with all of her brides which I feel really shines through in her photographs and is present before and even after your wedding day.

When I look at my wedding photographs I don’t just see beautiful pictures, I feel the love that I was surrounded by on that day, the human connection, emotion and joy which makes every wedding unique and special. Even the most ordinary everyday scenes of home on my wedding day appear charmed, and have at times moved me to tears.

Danelle and Dirk you guys are the best, and I speak on behalf of James and our families that we wouldn’t trust anyone else to capture these monumental life moments. Thank-you for not just documenting a special day but for capturing the magic.

I WILL ALWAYS TREASURE THE WEDDING OF AMY AND ADAM; GETTING TO FLY TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE TO DOCUMENT THEIR WEDDING DAY IS SOMETHING I WILL NEVER FORGET AND TWO PEOPLE WHO WILL STAY IN MY HEART FOREVER.

– DANELLE

As soon as we saw Danelle’s portfolio we knew no one else would compare for our big day.  Danelle is a wonderfully gifted photographer who has an amazing eye for capturing every precious moment in the most exquisite way.

Being fellow Kiwi’s we were over the moon when it worked out that she and Dirk could shoot our wedding in France.  Due to being based on other sides of the world we only met them once over Skype before the big day but Adam and I felt immediately at ease. It actually felt like we had been long lost friends!

Danelle and Dirk were professional, fun-loving, down to earth and a dream to work with. Our photographs live and breathe what a truly magical weekend it was, and Danelle and Dirk captured those moments in the most exceptional way.

We could not praise them and their work high enough and would not hesitate to recommend Danelle and Dirk for any special occasion.
