    Fun, Laidback & Creative

    I had the pleasure of working with Malika on 12/13/24, and she brought such an incredible energy to the day. Her approach is relaxed and creative, making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera while capturing all the special, candid moments beautifully. Her attention to detail and ability to think outside the box resulted in photos that felt both timeless and full of personality. If you’re looking for someone fun, professional, and effortlessly talented, I highly recommend her for your wedding or event!

    Best photographer experience

    From our first interaction, Malika was prompt, professional, and genuinely kind. Her communication throughout the planning process and on the day of our wedding put us at ease. The quality of her work was excellent - she captured every moment beautifully and with great attention to detail. We were thrilled with the final photos, which perfectly reflected the authentic and special nature of our day. MalikaDanae Photography provided incredible value, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

    10/10 Would Recommend

    We booked Malika as our wedding photographer and she did a great job! She made us feel comfortable at our initial encounter with the engagement photo shoot. We have booked her for a graduation photo shoot after that and plan to book her for future shoots. 10/10 would recommend her for your next photo shoot!

Most couples book a year in advance, some a little shorter. The best thing to do is figure out which vendors are most important to you, then book those first. It doesn't hurt to reach out even if things are last minute, but the longer you wait, the less likely you'll get your first choice in vendors.
Nope! This is a one woman show. If I come across a wedding that seems like I may need assistance, I will reach out to local photographers and get that covered. So far so good!
Before I start to edit photos, I go through the whole batch and get rid of any duplicates, blurry photos, images with unflattering looks, etc. The remaining images are edited to enhance lighting, saturation, contrast, sharpness and the overall look of the photo.
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible.
Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos 4-8 weeks after your wedding via an online gallery, but I usually share sneak peeks within the first week. You'll have a customized link that you can share with family and friends so they can easily print and download your photos.
I don't like to give a definite number, instead I like to ensure that your moments will be documented from start to finish. As an estimate, on average I deliver around 600 final images, but keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors. Don't worry, I won't keep any good photos from you!
