Dani (Koa Photography) was fantastic to work with. I am generally not comfortable in front of the camera, but she made it easy. I also like her professionalism and she is very well organised. The pictures look AMAZING!, my family that couldn’t make it say: it feels like they were at the wedding. She captured all the really special moments and I am grateful we chose her. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (especially if like me), you were concerned that photographers usually struggle to take pictures of interracial couples.

The passion and love for her work clearly shows in everything she does - from planning the day with us, to photographing the wedding and to delivering a professional end product.

Dani was absolutely superb! She couldn't have made us feel more comfortable than we did. A task where we often feel shy and awkward, she made it fun and full of laughs. Her ability to capture surreal backgrounds and detail makes your wedding pictures that much more special and treasured. She also takes a variety of pictures so that both you, your parents and your social media followers are pleased. Thanks Dani for a wonderful memorable experience and for our priceless images.

From the first day we made contact with Dani we were amazed at her professionalism and excellence in her work. Every detail was carefully planned and on our wedding day we knew exactly what to expect. The quality of her work is amazing and she is truly gifted in beautifully capturing the smallest and most spontaneous moments that would go unnoticed to most others.

From the moment we met Dani we felt a comfort and familiarity that reinforced what we already knew- that you would be able to capture the soul and essence of not only the most incredible moment in our lifetime, but also would be able to capture the things we love and hold dear- the family farm, the olive grove, the beautiful people that love us, the tiny bits filled with emotion that makes it all so real, the moments of finality and purpose and the sacredness of a union of love. Our images capture these moments for us. Thank you for being who you are and being so easy-going and invested in making our day last forever.

Looking for a photographer to capture your special day is daunting and stressful, especially from half way across the world. After our first interaction with Dani over Skype, her kind and friendly approach immediately made us feel at ease. This, coupled with her effortless, natural and real photography, we knew that she would capture our special day perfectly. We hardly noticed she was there on the day, and there were no camera's in our face making us feel uncomfortable, and this is all shown through the raw emotions captured in the photographs. Dani completely surpassed our expectations and delivered the most incredible photographs and would highly recommend her to capture your most special day.

From the moment we met Dani she instilled a sense of calm. She helped us to feel relaxed on the day and in front of the camera. She took the time and care in getting to know us and to discuss what would work best on the day. Her clear but soft style captured the natural and moments so perfectly. Dani had worked with the videographer and makeup artist before which brought a sense of familiarity to the day. I would highly recommend Dani and any couple would be lucky to have her photograph their day. We love each and every one of the images, thank you Dani, we will treasure them forever.

I honestly could never have found a better photographer than Dani! In debating whether to have my wedding in the States or South Africa, I looked at many photographers across these two countries. Dani's work stood out to me and every time I saw a new blog post of a wedding she had just shot, I was even more impressed. Meeting Dani several times and being able to bring her my schedules for the day and ask her any question I had was the icing on the cake. If you want an incredible photographer who feels like a friend, hire Dani. You won't regret it.

Dani, we can't thank you enough for your kindness, fun attitude and energy while taking our wedding photos! Your confidence while at work put us at ease, and we had a lot of fun despite not usually enjoying the limelight. The photos you captured blew us away. Thank you for finding the balance between taking poignant photos and still managing to get those documentary-style shots of people enjoying themselves.

We couldn't have imagined anyone else capturing our special day. Dani was incredibly professional, but also warm, gracious and joyful. Her attitude and love for her work is so evident and put us at easy throughout the planning and wedding day. She took the time to understand us and the important parts of our wedding day. We would recommend Dani to anyone planning their wedding.

Dani instantly felt more like a friend than a service provider. You won’t even feel like being photographed, moments and emotions are captured so authentically. Dani was able to encapsulate every image so purely that we feel every emotion all over again just by looking at them. Shots not of what it looked like, but what it felt like. Dani's photography resembles every of her client's stories more perfectly than any of us would ever be able to just remember it. Our engagement and wedding photos are both albums full of images that we will treasure forever.

It was so important to both Chris and I that we had a photographer who took natural, radiant photos that really captured our wedding as the incredibly happy day that it was and, luckily for us, we found this in Dani. She was incredibly attentive to our likes and dislikes and really listened to what we asked for, while obviously still adding her brilliant talent and creative touches. Dani was able to flawlessly capture every moment and, although Chris and I are both somewhat uncomfortable in front of the camera, she made us feel completely relaxed and at ease, resulting in photos that reflect our personalities and relationship perfectly

We absolutely loved Dani. From the moment we met with her, we felt comfortable and knew that we would love the photography process. These photos are ones you keep for the rest of your life and we are SO happy that these are the photos we get to keep. One of the biggest highlights was how discreet she managed to be in the actual ceremony because for us we really wanted that to be the main part of our wedding without anyone being distracted. We really appreciated Dani's easy-going but professional nature.

I would recommend Dani and Koa Photography over and over again! We loved having her as our photographer and are so pleased with the photos she and the second shooter took. She really cares about her clients and this was evident when she even packed snacks to share during the 'couple shoot' part of the evening- every detail was taken care of! We found the process of booking, meeting, shootings and receiving the final images to be very smooth and efficient.

Dani was the first service provider we booked. We knew from the moment that we got engaged, that we wanted her to capture our special day. We knew she would understand us as a couple and we knew her photography would display the authenticity that we were looking for in our photographs. She was willing to listen to what we wanted, but was also so wonderful in giving her advice too. This made us feel even more safe in her hands. We were both so happy with how our photos came out (It was the best surprise getting a sneak peak on our honeymoon) Dani, you are a wonderful human being and I am so grateful that we chose you! We will treasure our photos forever!
