Danette Chappell on Fstoppers

Amberlight Collective

Hey pals! I'm Danette and I take pictures of people for a living. In addition to being passionate about photography, I also love Harry Potter, paranormal reality tv, Call of Duty, cats, lots of wine and a smidge of whiskey here and there.

Since 2008 I’ve been photographing weddings all over the country. I started photographing professionally in my hometown of Santa Fe, NM after attending an internship with the fabulous Sarah Barlow (who’s a total badass) in Chicago.

To date, I’ve photographed over 1500 weddings and elopements in 14 different states. My work has been featured in many various wedding blogs and publications including WeddingWire, The Knot, MSN, Shoot and Share, Little Vegas Weddings, One Wed, DIY Bride, Popsugar, and Bridal Guide.

Yes I have photographed an Elvis wedding (or 50 Elvis weddings, more accurately), no the wedding chapel from the movie The Hangover isn't real, and yes Vegas is hell-fire hot. Thank you for asking.
