Hello! I’m Dana Harper, an award winning, international photographer. Being behind the camera is my true passion in life and I’m lucky enough to be doing what I love for a living. Over the years I've had many amazing and life changing experiences. From photographing so many wonderful couples weddings to fashion shoots on tropical islands to documenting poverty in the developing world, I always have my camera at my side.

I was born on Groundhog Day, 1984 in Scarborough, Ontario. I am now a homeowner with my boyfriend Jody and our 4 cats in London, Ontario, SOHO area. Aside from photography my other passions in life are cats, traveling, music, movies and organic gardening. I listen to all kinds of music, but my favourite bands are The Decemberists, Arcade Fire, Flogging Molly & The Black Keys. My favourite movies are Watchmen, Avatar, District 9 and all Judd Apatow’s comedies. My favourite TV shows are Farscape, Battlestar Galactica, Dexter & Fringe.

My business mainly focuses on wedding and portrait photography, although I love to photograph just about anything. I have a true gift in bringing out my subjects unique personalities and making them feel comfortable. My approach is always fun, easygoing, creative and tailored to the individual needs of my clients.

So that's me, please 101,109,97,105,108,32,109,101em liame if you want to know anything else. You can also view my resume here.

I have to say I L-O-V-E-D this wedding! One of my favs from the year for sure. When I got there and asked if we could hang the dress up they said “Oh it’s already hanging in the gun cage!”, so right then I knew I would be getting some unique shots. The wedding took place at their parent’s custom designed house in Sparta and as you can see it’s amazing! The weather was great too, I’d have to say everything went just perfect! Except for me when I knocked my camera off a table and broke my 50mm lens… but hey that’s why I have two of everything. Totally worth it though, it feels great to be a part of days like these. Congrats Venessa & Lance!
