Endlessly inspired by light, color, and the diverse character of destinations around the world, Dana Cubbage is drawn to the vibrant joy of celebrations both big and small. She has a remarkable talent for capturing the essence of a wedding in stunning detail, from the quiet anticipation before a bride walks down the aisle to the thrilling atmosphere of a raucous dance floor. Dana’s strong head for logistics, combined with her exquisite artistry, allows her to lead with intentionality and document every significant moment. Her warm, inviting nature makes her feel like someone you’ve known for years, while her calm presence allows you to be wholly yourself on your wedding day.
Dana resides in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, with her two rescue pups named Sunday and Beckham. Her ideal day would be spent exploring a new city and finding a charming cafe to settle in for people-watching, glass of champagne in hand.

FAVORITE THINGS
Dana's career as a wedding photographer was born out of a friendship she made while volunteering at the animal shelter in Baltimore City nearly 15 years ago. As a fierce advocate for animal rescue + adoption, a long-time rescue volunteer, foster dog mom, and shelter photographer, Dana proudly donates a portion of all wedding photography proceeds to local animal shelters + rescues throughout the year.
A Heart For Rescue Dogs

Her classic photos create a visual story that endures throughout the years, while her emphasis on authenticity captures the true, lasting emotions of one of the most important days of your life.
Never trendy. Always honest.
