Layers

Layers is a small, family-operated wedding photography business based in Bentonville, Arkansas, owned and managed by Danielle. Her partner, Stevan, helps run the business and works as a second photographer and videographer.

For LGBTQ+ couples

The business is LGBTQ+-owned. A small team that works as a pair can be a comfortable fit if you want familiar faces on the day, with one person capturing the ceremony and another covering reactions, guests and details.

A complete service

The studio offers a full wedding photography service and enjoys shooting engagement sessions as well. Danielle has a background in fashion, beauty and journalism before photography, which often shapes how a photographer handles light, styling and storytelling.

What to ask

• How many hours of coverage each package includes
• Whether a second photographer or videographer is included
• How long the final gallery takes to arrive
• What the plan is for rain or a late start

Planning your coverage

With two people on the team, you can split coverage between two locations, such as both partners getting ready at the same time. Send a short list of family groupings and a schedule with addresses and travel times. If you plan a first look, tell the team so portraits can be arranged around it.
