Dani Fine Photography

I went to Dani for some simple head shots for an audition and was very, very pleased with the results. We did a mini-​shoot and now I have a handful of great shots to choose from and will actually be able to use them for a variety of purposes. Some look more professional, some more serious, some friendlier, some sexier — a perfect selection!
The studio itself is lovely (located in Thornes marketplace) and the staff friendly.
My biggest regret was not hiring them to do my wedding five years ago!

I knew I wanted Dani as my wedding photographer from the very first time I saw her work. Her photos were the only ones that even left an impression on my husband. Dani was very professional and easy to work with. As I bumped into her at various local wedding events, Dani always offered a friendly hello. We did an engagement photo session and a full wedding day shoot. We ordered a photo box using the engagement photos and it is extremely high quality. I was confident in Dani’s experience shooting at my wedding venue and was not disappointed. She had a very kind way of taking charge of guests– telling them where to be and how to look natural in photos. She made sure to shoot every single one of my requested photos and was flexible with extras the day of the wedding. The best part is how quickly we got to view a sneak peak and then our full collection of photos. I was stunned with how beautiful the photos turned out and how many we received! Dani’s service is a little more expensive than others, but the quality and artistic view in her photos cannot be beat. I am so glad I chose Dani and feel so lucky to have worked with her team.

I think the best bet is to stick with wedding photography, here. I’ve seen much of what they’ve done and it’s nice enough.
But, if you have any interest in a true boudoir shoot, this is not the place to go! The makeup artist was very nice – but she uses Mary Kay makeup, so my eyes watered all afternoon! I asked for «natural» (and I made finger quotes) makeup and it looked like she’d accomplished that. I wanted to be able to cut my head off some of the shots and use the headshot for more professional/​colloquial ventures. Unfortunately, the «natural» makeup and the floodlights served to flood my face. I’m no skinny-​mini but I do have some contours in my face – none of which showed!
The photographs, when done, were lovely. But they were DREADFUL photographs of ME. I’m fat. I like to be photographed as «curvy» but these photos were nearly exhaustive in their merciless-​ness! There was no sexiness. There were odd closeups of my nose. (Thanks.) and every bump and bulge was displayed to horrifyingly honest degrees! The boudoir shoots I had twenty pounds ago made my body look juicy and sexy, not like a white, lumpy potato! The profile shot was equally bad. The photographer (whom I let lead the fashion dicates) suggested I wear the ill-​fitting bra I’d thrown on to run to the shoot. Well, an ill-​fitting bra doesn’t shoot any better in profile!!!
The counter person– Megan – also made me wait and refused to pinpoint how long the wait would be. I just wanted to know if I should run errands or not.
I usually pick about half the photos in a shoot and then torture myself trying to whittle down those choices. At Dani Fine I chose nine, intending to choose the one that was included with my package and maybe one more. Digital only. But, I really struggled!
To be fair, I did not read the fine print – or the bold print. There were no images included in the shoot price. And to buy only digital would have to include the whole horrific mess of 104 mostly dreadfully unflattering photos. For $ 75 I could buy one print. I don’t want or need prints… So, I chose to not throw good money after bad and I walked.
Megan told me that no one had ever done that, before and expressed her concern and Dan’s concern, by extension. She told me Dani would likely call me to discuss my dissatisfaction. I generously offered to share with Dani all the great photos I had from previous shoots at other studios. This was weeks ago and I’m still waiting.
$ 400 later for an allergic reaction, a terrible shoot and nothing to show for it… my bad? No, Dani Fine Photography’s bad, for offering a service they clearly can’t provide.
If you KNOW your sexuality, this is not the place for you. If you just want a fun few snaps of you in your underwear… Well, I still suggest you save your $$$! Update: I NEVER received any sort of apology nor inquiry call, although Megan assured me Dani would be really concerned at my great dissatisfaction. Apparently, Dani Fine doesn’t give a crap. Except crappy product and service!

AMAZING!!! Absolutely get what you pay for here. I’ve only seen a few pictures so far from my wedding this past Saturday and I can’t wait to see more. They are amazing photographers. :) just like the last reviewer when we did our engagement session I was shocked at how many photos I actually liked. I’m so happy my husband chose them to do our pictures.

ABSOLUTELY incredible! I am getting married in 2 weeks and wanted to get my fiancé a special gift… I thought of doing a boudoir photo shoot, but like most women I am self conscious and thought I might not like any of the photos… (For the record, I am not a size zero by any stretch of the imagination!) I finally convinced myself that it would be fine and went… Ok, deep breath… I liked so many of the photos, it was really hard to pick which ones would go in the album I chose! One of the best «wedding preparation» investments I have made! I was absolutely astounded how incredible I looked in the photos! I was brought to tears when I watched my personal slide show! Talk about a confidence boost! I am SOOOO excited to receive the album I ordered my fiancé as a wedding gift, he is going to FREAK OUT (in a good way of course)!! Thank you for making me feel beautiful and sexy 2 weeks before my wedding! I would HIGHLY recommend this studio!
