Reviews from our clients, what to expect from our process + pricing, and what exactly makes a Danielle Schury bride.
"Danielle was amazing! Her work is flawless, beautiful, and just wow!"
- kim m.
I promise you won’t be disappointed at all!! She is very professional and made working with her very easy, especially during such a crazy year! She’s so sweet and was honestly one of our favorite vendors throughout the whole process! I hope to use Danielles services during other milestones in our lives!
I want the booking process to be as easy as possible for every couple of mine. You will have nothing to worry about as we will be in touch throughout the entire process from the engagement, timeline and planning.

Many photographers don't put the effort into making each client feel special and important. The experience my clients have with me means everything, so you will always feel special and welcomed!
YOUR DAY IS NOT ABOUT me.
Challenging situations are always inevitable, especially for weddings. I'm always up for a challenge, but I will always make sure you have all of the information you need for your big day. You'll receive emails and PDF guides to make sure you are fully prepared for your wedding day.
i'll give you direction.
Each of my wedding packages include two hours of travel for your wedding day and a complimentary local engagement session in the Bourbonanis/Kankakee area. I'll also help you with planning your wedding timeline about 60 days prior to your wedding, so you feel prepared.
I know all the best spots.

"Danielle was absolutely perfect!"
She was so fun and easy to work with! I am not a natural in front of the camera; she made the process seem so comfortable and smooth! She has a great eye for capturing the best shots! We woke up just a day after wedding day and she already had a sneak peak of our photos ready for us. They are all completely stunning and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out!

OUR PROCESS
HOW IT WORKS
We’ll schedule a phone consultation to go over all wedding details and ensure everything is covered.
01
booking
To secure your date, clients sign the contract and submit a 40% booking fee, ensuring their reservation and allowing us to begin dedicated planning for their event.
02
PLANNING + CONSULTATIONS
Upon receiving the signed contract and booking fee to reserve the wedding date, we will schedule the complimentary engagement session. I will provide location ideas and assist with wardrobe choices closer to the date.
03
ENGAGEMENT SESSION
Engagement sessions are up to 45 minutes and include 20 edited images, with the option to purchase more. Your online gallery will be delivered within two weeks (excluding weekends and holidays).
04
YOUR WEDDING
To ensure your photographer captures every moment you’ve envisioned, I provide a detailed timeline 90 days before your wedding. This planning helps create beautiful shots without making the day feel overwhelming. My aim is for you to have a stress-free experience, enjoying more time with friends and family. I am committed to making sure you fully enjoy your special day.

"Obsessed with our photos!"
- kristie b.
I spent months researching and looking for the perfect wedding photographer, because pictures are important! I came across Danielle and was blown away. The quality of photos, the poses, the color schemes, everything! We had our engagement shoot last month and we’re beyond happy with the pictures. Danielle is extremely talented!!! She knows what she’s doing. I’m so excited for our wedding photos!
Are we allowed to add on extra hours?
Yes, of course! If additional coverage is needed, the client can add it on before the wedding when the final balance is due.
Do you resize your images?
I consistently deliver images in their highest resolution, making them ideal for both printing and online posting. This exceptional quality is a primary reason clients choose to work with me.
Do you have a second shooter?
With over a decade of experience photographing weddings solo, I am now offering an option to include a second shooter in your wedding package. This is also available in one of my featured packages.
While I can efficiently manage most weddings on my own, having a second shooter is particularly beneficial for capturing the groom and groomsmen's preparations and portraits while I focus on the bride and bridesmaids. Additionally, a second shooter can help capture detail shots while I work on family and couple portraits, ensuring that no moment is missed, even if time is tight.
Do you post all of your weddings online?
In today's world, effective marketing is crucial for photographers. I post the majority of my wedding shoots and sessions on Facebook, Instagram, my website, and my blog. By showcasing my work, potential clients can see the quality and style of my most recent projects when considering hiring me.
Highlighting my work as much as possible is essential. Therefore, I only accept weddings that allow me to display and publicize the photos.
Do you hold onto wedding images forever?
While I retain wedding images for a period, it's crucial to back up all files after delivering them to my clients. I do not store galleries indefinitely.
How soon do we get our preview up?
While I typically share previews for most weddings, there are instances when previews are only posted after delivering the full gallery. This approach allows for a faster turnaround, enabling clients to receive their complete galleries weeks earlier. Typically, I share previews for most weddings two to three weeks after the event.
How long until we get our gallery?
My standard turnaround timeframe for wedding galleries is 90 days. While I have never needed the full 90 days, this may be required during the busy wedding season. Typically, I deliver wedding galleries within 8-10 weeks.
Do you give full rights to our images?
As the artist, I retain the rights to all my images. However, I grant my clients the rights to reproduce, print, and post the images online. Each client will receive a printing license, allowing them these specific rights. Unfortunately, I do not permit any other person or artist to re-edit my images or use them for commercial or editorial purposes without my written consent.
Do you charge a travel fee?
How long have you photographed weddings for?
I absolutely love traveling, especially for engagement sessions and weddings. I am based in Bourbonnais, IL, and I do not charge travel fees for weddings that are within an hour's drive from my location. For weddings that are over an hour away, a small travel fee will apply. My destination wedding packages cover all travel expenses, including flights, car rentals, food, and accommodation (hotel or Airbnb).
For engagement sessions, I offer free travel within a 20-mile radius of my area. If the location is more than 20 miles away, a small travel fee will be charged.
With nearly 15 years of experience in wedding photography, I have honed my skills in capturing moments in all kinds of lighting conditions. My expertise spans both natural light and flash photography, ensuring that every part of your special day is beautifully documented.
