Wedding, Portrait, and lifestyle photographer across north carolina

I'M DANIELLE! MY PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE IS TRUE TO COLOR WITH A TOUCH OF WARMTH.

Hey there! I'm a Wilmington-based photographer specializing in weddings, engagements, and maternity sessions. After earning my Master of Social Work from NC State (go Wolfpack!), I fell in love with the coastal charm of Wilmington and made it my home in 2016. My husband and I got married in 2019, and when I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me chasing after my little girl or trying to wrangle our two mischievous Bengal cats!

My passion for capturing life's precious moments led me to launch D McHugh Photography in 2022. Whether it's a sun-kissed beach engagement, a romantic Wilmington wedding, or a serene maternity session by the shore, I'm all about creating authentic, emotion-filled images that tell your unique story.

Ready to preserve your special moments in Wilmington, Raleigh, or beyond? Let's chat and create something beautiful together!

Capture fleeting moments,
Cherish them for a lifetime.
