Awarded Best of Zola
“Arvelle Photos was our dream team come true. After letting go of our original photo team due to a difference in style, we were on the hunt for someone that could capture our day in the dreamy, romantic way that we felt about our wedding. Sasha and Vlad were the perfect fit. Work aside, we loved working with a married couple that understands all the emotions of wedding day. Having two photographers to capture the bride’s side and the groom’s side not only provided a neat perspective, but also helped immensely with staying on track with timing. Sasha and Vlad are both very sweet, give wonderful direction, and were a pleasure to work with before and during our wedding. We had constant coverage without ever feeling like there were cameras in our face or taking away from our day. Arvelle has a unique style that made our wedding look like the fairytale we were living that day. We love our photos, we love Arvelle, and we’d do it all again if we could. Thank you Sasha and Vlad.”

  • Starts at $3,300

I am really interested in other people. I like to find out about you. I believe we all have value, and everybody deserves to be happy. Sour Pusses are quite the bummer, and seriousness is overrated. I really believe there should be very little reason for people to not get along. EVERYONE is welcome. I LOVE nostalgia, and having my work appreciated enough to be on your walls is the best feeling. I roast my own coffee, I am a friek for Legos, old black and white movies, the ocean, the forest, the jungle, and chatting with people.

“Daniel Cewinski Photography was an outstanding choice for our wedding photographer. From the beginning, Daniel's communication style was assertive, positive, and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. His work is truly exceptional - passionate, professional, and sophisticated. On our wedding day, Daniel paid particular attention to our needs, being extremely accommodating with our family and sunset photographs. It was significantly beneficial to meet Daniel during our engagement photoshoot, as it helped us feel secure and motivated for the upcoming wedding. Daniel made the entire experience a joy, and we are thrilled with the beautiful, high-quality photos that captured our special day perfectly. We highly recommend Daniel Cewinski Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.”

Hey!! I'm Dani 👋 — a Lake Tahoe based wedding photographer who will happily hop on a plane for a good love story. I'm a Diet Coke enthusiast, a dog person to my core, chronically online, and the kind of person who will hype you up so hard you'll forget you were ever nervous. I care deeply about the people I work with and even more about making sure you actually get to ENJOY the day you spent a year planning. I've got the behind-the-scenes handled — you just show up and have the best day of your life.

“I knew from the start that I wanted Dani to capture our special day, not just because we’ve been close friends since college, but because her artistic style and deep understanding of the wedding process are truly unmatched. She has an incredible gift for meeting you exactly where you are. Even for those of us who are typically camera shy, Dani made us feel so comfortable that the magic happened naturally. She captured moments with our closest family and friends that I never thought I’d be able to see, and the results are more beautiful than I could have imagined. Beyond her stunning photography, Dani is a true professional who handles the logistics and payment breakdowns with total clarity. On the day of the wedding, she was willing to do it all, from expertly handling my wedding dress bustle to busting moves on the dance floor! Having her second shooter, Jordan, there was also a huge plus to ensure that every single moment was documented from every angle. If you want a photographer who brings incredible energy, capability, and heart to the biggest day of your life, Dani is the one!”

About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me!

“You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.”

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

I’m a wedding and elopement photographer based in Truckee, and I get to work in some of the best places in Tahoe. Palisades, the Ritz-Carlton, Everline. I also travel to Maui, Napa, and the Bay Area, so if your plans are somewhere else, ask. My approach is simple. I’d rather get to know you a little before the day so you’re not stiff when the camera comes out. Then I stay close, keep things relaxed, and shoot what’s really happening. The laughing, the nerves, your dad tearing up at the wrong moment. That’s the stuff you’ll want to look at in twenty years. I’d love to hear about your day. Send me your date, your venue, and a little about the two of you. I’ll get back to you quickly and tell you honestly if I’m the right fit.
