Dani is an Atlanta wedding photographer with many awards from Wedding Wire. She's also well-known for her outstanding portrait and event photography. Over her 30 years as an Atlanta photographer, she's helped over 1,000 couples and families capture their once-in-a-lifetime moments forever. Whether you know exactly how you'd like your wedding or event to be photographed or you need the keen eye of an experienced photographer, Dani can help.
As an experienced Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah photographer in Atlanta, I understand that your child's Bar or Bat Mitzvah is an important rite of passage and a special moment for your family. I remember preparing for my own Bat Mitzvah and the excitement of completing the ceremony in Israel when I was 18. Celebrating this Jewish ceremony with your friends and family is a memory that you will cherish forever. Your celebration on this special day deserves to be documented by an experienced and professional photographer.
Corporate photography encompasses everything from headshots to candid photographs of events, but the overall goal is always the same: to show the world who you are. Good corporate photography is engaging, never boring; it's meaningful without being too serious, approachable without being overly familiar.
Capturing precious memories of the little loves of your life is something you will always treasure. If you want something more than just a school picture headshot, Dani Weiss Photography can create a complete portfolio of journalistic style and creative, artistic poses that showcase your child's unique personality.

Dani Weiss
24 amazing years behind the lens has taught me a lot, making me more professional and better equipped to photograph the complexities of big events and little moments. I am a clear and straightforward communicator with the ability to know when to be where during an event. I have captured the look and feel of over 600 weddings and events, creating great art that showcases real people in their most precious times.

Shooting wedding and commitment ceremonies, bar and bat mitzvah’s, as well as world travel, has given me a sensitivity to differing cultures, rituals and events that carry over to my portraits, pet photography, and even corporate work. Mixing a documentary journalistic style with fashion while including more traditional coverage ensures my images are both timeless and contemporary.

I had a great photo shoot with Dani and got my photos back the day after the session. All of my photos were excellent and even though she offered to retouch some for me as a part of our agreement they were so good that I didn't actually need any to be retouched. I am also not a naturally photogenic person but she will get you through that and still make the photos awesome of you will listen to her and take her direction. She is able to select the most picturesque backgrounds for your photos as well mine were simply wonderful!

Dani does all of our company's photography and agent headshots. She has a great eye to make us all look great and her cat herding skills are off the charts!

I was recently asked to submit a headshot for work, and since I have successfully avoided having my picture taken for at least 10 years or so, I decided to reach out to Dani for a session. Dani was quick to respond, and was very kind in dealing with all of my anxieties about having my photo taken. She worked with me to get a good selection of photos to choose from, and was able to turn the final photos around very quickly. I strongly recommend Dani Weiss to anyone looking for a skilled and patient photographer!

Our family has been using Dani Weiss Photography for over 20 years! She has photographed our wedding and our kids Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Dani has always come through for us and created the most beautiful images of these life cycle events. Dani is not only an incredible photographer with an artistic flair and eye for detail but is also very experienced and professional.

She works comfortably with people from diverse backgrounds and skillfully works with any crowd. We can't recommend Dani enough and hope she will photograph our family for many years to come!

Dani Weiss Photograhy, new photographer in Atlanta, but came highly recommended by our Bar Mitzvah event planner. Dani was very reliable and professional from beginning to end. Our pictures, sign in book and photo album look amazing and we are so excited and pleased with her talent to capture our special amazing day!

Dani came to our house for a quarantine 'porch' session with my husband and our son. The pictures turned out beautifully and she was fantastic with our baby and dog! I highly recommend her and I look forward to doing a full shoot with her in the future once things go back to normal. I'm so happy to have such great pictures of our little family!

Thank you for capturing our last moments as residents of our ATL neighborhood. Your artistry amid social distancing rules really made our day and we're thankful for your work. Bonus are your skills at gaining photo-worthy attention of two kids and a dog simultaneously. Well done!

Dani did some business portraits for me. She talked with me about what I was looking for and really captured the look I was going for. Like most people, I don't really like having my picture taken, but she made it a fun experience.

Dani is great to work with. She's patient with kids and dogs and completely flexible so you get the poses and shots you want. Her prices are very fair and she turned out pictures around very quickly! The quality was amazing and the variety was more than we could have asked for. We can't wait to use Dani again for family pictures.

Dani has been photographing our family for 9 years now. Her flexibility is unmatched--our first session was arranged within a couple days. When Dani found out that we wanted portraits with our sick dog, she squeezed us in and was so compassionate and loving to our terrier. Now, ten years later, we depend on her to capture all the changes in our lives. She's fantastic!

Dani is the best! She did all the photography for my son's bar mitzvah. There were two shoots, one was half inside and half outside during the day and the other was indoors at night. All the pictures came out so great! Dani can do beautiful family portraits, but the real gems in my opinion were all the spontaneous, action shots she got of people talking, dancing, and celebrating.

There were so many pictures that I just loved that showed all of us relaxed and having the best time. Dani also really helped me during the planning stages of this event. She's very knowledgeable about vendors in Seattle and she made many recommendations that were all very reliable.

Whenever I tell someone about Dani Weiss, I have to point out that she has RIDICULOUS skills. She shot 35mm film (the wedding was 2001), and I've looked at the proofs of all of these rolls of film and 100% of them are keepers. How the heck does someone do that? My guess is she's actually a cyborg or alien or something.

Why did I choose Dani Weiss as my photographer? When I was pregnant with my first, and only child- when that child was born- when she turned one and then five- I needed someone to understand how important these moments were to me. From the initial contact to the final product, Dani is focused on you. She is respectful of your time and delivers as promised.

No shortcuts either, she has a eye for the perfect shot. And! Dani is a lovely human being too. Skip the Groupon if you want to look at the photos years from now with the same tearful adoration. If done right, it's more than a photo and you will cherish it forever.

Dani Weiss is a phenomenal photographer. I saw her photos at several charity events and was so impressed I hired her to photograph my birthday party. She captured the evening perfectly! I highly recommend Dani for any of your photographic needs, events, portraits, etc.

Dani photographed our family recently, and we loved the images she captured. She is funny and easy-going, has excellent design sense, and managed to take some sweet shots of us outside, even though it was pouring rain. She was particularly awesome with our three-year-old, and made sure we got the photos we wanted before he lost interest in sitting still. We highly recommend her!

Dani recently shot our Seattle wedding, and we are so thrilled that we found her. Her knowledge of both photography and the ins-and-outs of the wedding business proved invaluable. She takes amazing care of her clients before, during and after wedding day, answering questions, creating shot lists and orchestrating the shoot with skill and creativity.

And the pictures, the pictures! The shots Dani captures are absolutely wonderful, a perfect mix of posed portraits and candids. She managed to capture the moments of our wedding day even more beautifully than we can remember them. We can't recommend Dani highly enough.

We knew that after the wedding we would have our memories and the photos. It was important for us to find a fabulous photographer who could capture our day beautifully, who would blend with our home and our guests. Dani is an amazing person and did a superb job. She is a pro-- she has a ton of experience and knows what works. The pictures are amazing and frankly-- she and her assistant were so unobtrusive they were hardly noticed.

Dani is just wonderful. I am not the kind of person who really enjoys having her photo taken. I get stiff and awkward and am not very photogenic. The first time we met Dani I was completely at ease. She's super easy to talk to and really knows how to capture you. She's really pulled out the beauty of our family and our lovely city. She knows the best places to shoot and works well with kids. She's super easy to work and schedule with. Highly recommended!

Dani has been doing photo's of my family for 15 years and just did a great set of professional portraits for me. She always does a great job, follow through and delivers promptly. She's also a lot of fun to work with.

Working with Dani was such a easy process! What you might not realize going into relationship with a photographer for a wedding is how long the actual process will be. It isn't just about your special day, even though that day is important and you need someone who is up to the task. Really you need someone who isn't going to drop the ball afterwards!

You need someone who will be there throughout the entire editing and photo selection process through the final printed copies and books to answer questions, bounce ideas off of, and take gentle redirection from. Dani was so fun to work with throughout all of this, we bought her top of the line package and were very pleased with the gorgeous photo books.

As busy as we were planning and preparing, Dani kept us on track after the event when our enthusiasm and energy had wained. Working with Dani was a very open and honest process, we felt safe to be ourselves at all times around her, and had a ton of fun in the process!

I needed professional portraits taken and was so impressed with the results I got from Dani. She answered all of the questions I had about what to wear and what to expect. The process was really comfortable and easy. Very happy I chose to work with Dani!

My (soon to be) son in law selected Dani Weiss after interviewing several photographers in the Seattle area. Dani is very warm and engaging. She intuitively understands what is important to a couple and to their families. We all felt very comfortable with Dani from the beginning. Dani's communication proceeding our daughters wedding was flawless. She asked a lot of questions and responded quickly to our inquiries. Dani is enthusiastic and very creative.

She was just wonderful with the bridal party which included eight young children. Her humor, patience and flexibility in working with the little ones was amazing. But even better was Dani's truly stunning photography of the wedding day. She captured an abundance of delightful, candid shots of our daughter, son in law, both families, the bridal party, guests and venue. Dani also recorded so much detail - many things which we would have forgotten.

She was generous with her time and talent and as an unexpected bonus, quickly provided the finished photos after the wedding. We'd give Dani 10 stars if the rating was available!

Dani Weiss takes excellent photos. I had so much fun throughout the entire process! I first heard about Dani from a facebook friend- she is so reasonably priced. Her work captures a sense of joy and engagement. I had a problem emailing my photo to my website developer and she helped me from start to finish. Dani Weiss is the best!

Dani was great to work with for our wedding photos. She was helpful and professional throughout preliminary work, helping us think through shot lists and how to manage our sprawling reception in a way that we could get the photos we wanted. She also took amazing photos--the best part. For us, the day kind of went by in a blur, so it's great to have these photos to bring it all back.

After reading many reviews on Yelp, Wedding Wire and others I decided to call Dani Weiss, who was fortunately available. We had barely five weeks notice before my daughter's wedding. Research on my own had yielded dubious results for other vendors, so Dani's experience and input for the florist, the caterer and the DJ were critical for the resulting excellent ceremony and reception. Dani worked with my daughter and me on preparatory details of the photography.

She requested a list of the shots we wanted and provided essential guidance on the timeline of events so the photography worked seamlessly with the ceremony, the catering, the DJ and the florist. Dani was patient and caring before, during and after the wedding. We are so impressed with the quality of her work, and with her sense of and eye for the right subject at the right time in the right place.

She checked out the venue ahead of time to anticipate any potential problems and to develop ideas. She worked with the florist to come up with appropriate arrangements to frame shots, and her vision became beautiful reality.

Dani was a "find"! I wanted someone able to deal with a large family grouping with a 3 month old up to an 88 year old in an off site location. Her web site was polished, but she was precise and descriptive enough that I felt confident to have her work with us. She was a true professional. She came prepared, having asked for our names so she could utilize the time efficiently to get the best out of us while the little subjects were cooperating.

She also asked, before hand, what groupings we wanted, so she could help arrange the whole thing. Not every photographer can manage a large group. I would give her my vote for ANY photographic situation. Dani, thanks for all the great photos!

Dani shot our wedding in October 2010 as well as our mid September engagement photos. She is great at understanding what we wanted and to make sure our various poses and backgrounds for the formal pictures reflected our style and sense of fun. the candid wedding pictures are also very good, and she managed to get really lovely group shots of our dances and a terrific picture of my wife up on a chair and me being pushed around her (I didn't want to be lifted up in the air) Her photos of the details like the table decorations and the food were really incredible and looked like professional art shots.

I made the center pieces myself and I was shocked at how lovely her photos made them look. same was true of the food pictures and the cake. I would recommend her to anyone who is interested in a mid range pricing, very organized and honest photographer.

Dani's photographs are absolutely stunning. We chose her for our wedding because the samples we saw struck us as being both beautiful and *real.* I didn't want cookie cutter shots or heavy editing that would make us unrecognizable. I wanted an artistic, magical documentary of our unique event, and looking at my wedding album, that's just what I got. Dani was great at organizing our posed group shots--the must haves--but also captured those unexpected spontaneous moments that made the event unique and memorable.

Like my husband dancing with his sister, or the look of utter shock on my friend's face when she caught my bouquet. (Btw, going to that friend's wedding next month!) The big bonus is that Dani brings more to the table than her talent. Her candor and years of experience make her easy to work with and a major asset to your wedding planning team, giving valuable advice and even helping pace the event.
