About
My name is Daniella and I am a photographer, Bilingual Wedding Officiant, and Registered Nurse in the Central Valley and Bay Area. I do anywhere from simple wedding ceremonies to custom wedding ceremonies which include but are not limited to: sand ceremonies, candle ceremonies and more. I struggled to find a Spanish-speaking officiant for my wedding, and that experience, combined with my time reading during Mass in college, inspired me to become an officiant myself. I am committed to making your wedding ceremony unique to you. I send out a questionnaire to learn more about you and I am also available for phone and video meets. I love to hear about your love stories to learn more about you and make the ceremony meaningful! I love, love, and absolutely love hearing custom vows!(don't be surprised if I shed a tear or two while reading your unique vows. Love is love, and I hope I can be a part of your special day!
Ever since I was a little girl I was the gal behind the camera! I have always been into capturing special moments. Hopefully I can a part of your special day or be able to capture your special movements!
Mi nombre es Daniella y soy fotógrafa y oficiante de bodas bilingüe en el Valle Central y el Área de la Bahía. Realizo simples ceremonias de boda a ceremonias de boda personalizadas que incluyen, entre otras, ceremonias de arena, ceremonias de velas y más. Pasé un tiempo difícil cuando estaba buscando un oficiante que hablaba español para mi boda… eso y leer durante misa en mi tiempo durante mis años universitarios me motivó a convertirme en un oficiante. Me comprometo a hacer que su ceremonia de boda sea única para usted. Envío un cuestionario para obtener más información sobre usted y también estoy disponible para reuniones por teléfono y video. ¡Me encanta escuchar sus historias de amor para aprender más sobre ustedes y hacer que la ceremonia sea significativa! ¡Amo, amo y absolutamente amo escuchar votos personalizados! (¡No se sorprenda si derramo una lágrima o dos mientras lean sus votos únicos. El amor es amor, y espero poder ser parte de su día especial!
¡Desde que era una niña era la chica detrás de la cámara! Siempre me ha gustado capturar momentos especiales. ¡Espero poder formar parte de tu día especial o poder capturar tus movimientos especiales!

Hired on Thumbtack
Contacted Daniella only weeks before our wedding event. What motivated us to hire her was that she was an officiant and photographer, PLUS she is bilingual. This was the most important to us. She was amazing, gathering details about the couple. The ceremony was beautiful and felt so intimate; even though we had about 90 guests. Everybody complemented on how great she did and asked how we had found her. We highly recommend her. And lastly, her soft, reassuring words helped in the midst of all the chaos and emotions. right before the ceremony.

I had an awesome experience working with Daniella for a baby photoshoot she helped us with. Daniella was very professional and extremely responsiveness starting Day1 when I reached out to her for the job. She is very creative with ideas and props which we really appreciated as this was our first photoshoot experience.
She was really patient and made it so much fun for us that even the baby was happily posing for her :)
I would totally recommend her and would love to work with her again.

I had the pleasure of working with Daniella for my wedding, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. Daniella is an amazing bilingual officiant who made our wedding ceremony unforgettable by conducting it in both Spanish and English.
From the moment we met Daniella, we knew we were in good hands. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and our vision for the wedding ceremony. She was extremely professional, responsive, and accommodating to all our needs.
During the ceremony, Daniella was outstanding. Her bilingual skills were exceptional, and she seamlessly transitioned between Spanish and English throughout the ceremony. She was warm, engaging, and made us feel comfortable and at ease.
Our guests raved about how beautiful and unique the ceremony was, and we received so many compliments about Daniella. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a bilingual wedding ceremony.
Overall, she exceeded our expectations, and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you so much
