About

I'm Dani — an Emmy-nominated documentary producer who has spent the last decade making films for Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Apple, NBC, and more. I've been a supervising producer on projects that have taken me everywhere, chasing real stories with a camera. But before any of that, I was documenting weddings.

From 2014 to 2018, I filmed several weddings — and I loved it. I also spent time producing World Wide Wed for Refinery29, a series where we traveled the world documenting remarkable couples and the weddings that reflected their stories. It was the intersection of everything I care about: real people, honest moments, and the kind of love that makes a good film.

Here's the thing people sometimes find surprising: I would genuinely rather be filming a wedding than most other content I've worked on. I love love. I love traditions. I love the way a room feels when an entire family is together for a celebration. And I love vows — I have teared up at the vows of couples I barely know, standing behind a camera, trying to hold it together long enough to get the shot.

I don't see weddings the way some in the industry do — as a checkbox or a commercial product. After watching my own sister get married and seeing what that day meant to her, I understood it in a way I hadn't before. The day is real. The emotion is real. The significance of it doesn't need to be manufactured — it just needs to be documented honestly.

I grew up in San Diego and have spent the last decade moving between Los Angeles and New York — which means I work as a local in both cities, and everywhere in between. My approach is the same wherever I am: I observe, I stay out of the way, and I wait for the moments that don't need any direction at all. You as a couple, not a checklist of shots. Your day, not a template for it.
