Photography built around people
Dane Bradley Photography & Media
Meet the Photographer
Hey, my name is Dane Bradley
I use photography and filmmaking to collaborate with people and businesses seeking to tell their stories, build their brands, and document achievements.
A Creative Partner
When you hire me, you are hiring a creative partner who will work alongside you to shape a clear direction that feels personal, purposeful, and true to your vision. Whether we’re creating portraits, documenting an event, or producing content for your brand, we’ll refine the location, styling, messaging, and visual inspiration together. I keep the entire experience relaxed, collaborative, and organized so you, your guests, or your team can feel comfortable and fully present. Even when you’re unsure of your style or uneasy in front of the camera, I’ll guide you through the process and create imagery that feels authentic to you.
Graduation Portraits
Whether it's a solo session or a fun group shoot with friends, I love working with everyone to capture photos that live up to the occasion. I especially enjoy brainstorming ideas to make your grad photos standout in a way that is unique to you, which is why all sessions include an optional pre-shoot planning call. I'm easy going, flexible and can guide you with posing even if you have no experience, making sure your grad photos are ones you'll look back proudly on.
Portraits
With extensive experience in studio portraiture, I use thoughtful composition and carefully shaped light to create polished, intentional images while bringing out a natural, confident presence in every subject. Whether you’re a professional, actor, model, or simply looking to create something spontaneous and memorable, I’ll help you feel comfortable and bring your vision to life.
Weddings & Couples
Your wedding day deserves to be captured in a way that reflects your unique love story. With a focus on creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience, my team and I handle every detail so you can be fully present, knowing all the important moments are being captured. The result is a stunning collection of timeless photos and films that you'll treasure for years to come.
Creative / Lifestyle
My creative work is built around bold subjects, and striking locations. I love thinking outside the box and collaborating closely with individuals and brands to develop concepts that feel original and extra ordinary.
Let's work together to create your dream album or film
My favorite part of my job is working with clients on devising the perfect plan on capturing the photos or video they envisioned. No idea is too big and I love thinking of extra ordinary ways to set your photos apart from the rest.
FAQ
Do you provide all the unedited photos?
While I hope you’ll love the polished look of the fully edited images delivered in high-resolution PNG format, I also provide download access to all successfully captured JPEGs from your session. Because I work carefully to create strong images in-camera, many of these additional photos look great as-is and may not require further editing. For Lightroom enthusiasts who would like to put their own creative spin on the images, "RAW" files are also available for an additional $100.
Can I show you inspo pictures during or prior to our shoot?
Yes absolutely. It very helpful and welcome
Are travel fees included in your sessions?
Yes travel fees are included in my rates or quotes I give you.
How long does it take to get our photos?
You’ll receive all unedited images within 24 hours of your session so you can choose your favorites. Once I receive your selections via my photo delivery service, Pixieset, I’ll carefully edit and deliver your final gallery within five days.
Do you help with posing?
Absolutely. I’ll guide you throughout the session with clear, natural direction so you never feel unsure of what to do. My goal is to help you make each pose your own, allowing your personality and natural movement to come through so the final images feel authentic, not stiff, staged, or overly posed. If you’re already confident in front of the camera, I’ll focus my direction on helping you interact naturally with the environment and use the camera, light, and setting to create the strongest possible images.
This is my first photoshoot what should I know?
No experience needed, just show up ready to have fun! And if possible well rested. I’ll guide you through posing, movement, and where to look, so we make the most of our time and you never have to worry about knowing what to do. Wear something that makes you feel confident, and I’ll take care of the rest.
