Kind Words...

Danielle and Dave -

Thank you for making our photo shoot fun and relaxed on the mountain we all love!

Peter and I had never had professional photographs taken; not even for our wedding, so we didn’t know what to expect. Danielle’s playfulness and David’s attention to detail allowed us to be ourselves and as a result, we ended up with our most favorite and treasured photos to remember this wonderful time in our lives.

There were so many good photos to choose from and, with your help, we were able to narrow them down to our favorites.  Thank you for your professionalism and warmth!  We feel lucky to have been able to work/play with you!

We will be very happy to be a reference for you for any people considering your services.

Danielle and Dave her husband and trusty assistant were somehow able to transform a crazy situation into a relaxing photoshoot that really captured our love. They miraculously held together many loose ends (five dogs and a stressed out husband and wife to be) and blended it all together into a surreal afternoon at Stinson Beach. Due to Danielle's artistic eye for beauty and Dave's psychological calming skills, our wedding pictures turned out to be just fabulous! We will always be grateful that we chose Buoncristiani Photography for this most important day in our lives.

With all the anxiety of the wedding.  Danielle was able to calm us both down.  We became very relaxed and happy.  This is most definitely apparent in the portraits…they reflect a happy couple in love.

5 dogs = chaos, Danielle and Dave were able to turn this into a peaceful, calm beautiful portraits and there was no evidence of the chaos in the previous moments before.

I wanted to let you know I just arrived home late tonight to find a special surprise hung up and waiting when I came in....what a beautiful portrait! David said he was able to come by himself (I hope he was a gentleman) and pick everything up, so lovely! The choices you made on the frame were perfect, I knew they would be, and the little box is super sweet bonus. I have a feeling David is going to steal that away for himself, he really liked it too! I really love everything and it all came in time for Christmas, thank you for all your efforts. Hoping your family has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.......

Best,

This is the second time I have worked with Danielle to take family photos. The first time was about 10 years ago, and we recreated some photos from the previous photo shoot. I love how easy she is to work with. When my kids were little she was engaging with them and kept them as happy as they could be while taking photos. This time we brought our dog and Danielle worked well with her to get the shot. There were so many great photos I had a hard time selecting the best. I absolutely love the portraits that now hang in our home as well as the keepsake box. I can't say enough good things about Danielle. She is easy to work with and very professional.

Priceless photos…

I cannot thank Danielle Buoncristiani of Buoncristiani Photography enough for the priceless and timeless photos that she created for my husband and me.  Danielle has mastered the art of evoking your inner essence and beauty during her photos shoots.  After using her professionally, as a dentist, to document the beauty of a natural and gorgeous smile it motivated my husband and me to schedule a session with Danielle.  Unfortunately, my husband passed unexpectedly and I cannot put a value on these photos.  They are truly priceless!  Don’t delay, get your family and loved ones together and capture the love!

Dear Danielle,

I can’t believe it’s been nine years since our first family portrait.  Every year we have and our portrait done as well as our Christmas cards.  We love your talent, energy, and especially how comfortable you always make us feel. 

Your beautiful portrait will be cherished forever; they are all over our walls at home.

You always make us look so good (how do you do that?)

Over the years we have become friends- we love your work and we love you, Danielle.

The Cerruti Family

My family was converging from all over the US at a rented cabin in Sonoma Valley for a destination birthday celebration. I wanted a professional family photo but don’t have experience with any recent photoshoots and was concerned about having this be a good experience.  We had 10 people, ranging from 1 ½ - 60 years.  After much time researching on the internet & by phone, I selected Danielle.  (One of my criteria was that the photos of the mature women looked good.  Compare hers to others on the web!). She is friendly, flexible, helpful and knowledgeable. She suggested a park for the photoshoot and we found she was great with keeping all ages engaged and smiling. It was a fun and memorable experience and we have a lot of wonderful pictures - - both posed and candid.

I’m sorry I can’t share the photos here. They were great! But our family has a policy of no children’s photos on the internet.

My family and I have worked with Danielle Buoncristiani Photography for two years.  Danielle’s work speaks for itself; beautifully crafted, an amazing eye for light, detail and a personality that creates a truly relaxed and collaborative experience.  Artist and family, creating moments in time that last forever.  Danielle is truly amazing.
