HI, I’m Yolanda Darnell.

I'm not just a photographer. I use my photojournalistic and documentary style to weave a narrative, filled with the genuine emotions of your wedding day. Whether it's your wedding day, a family portrait, or building your brand, I bring a natural, energetic approach.

My focus is on creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience, allowing you to be yourself and truly connect with the moment. I handle the technical aspects, so you can simply embrace the joy and share authentic memories with your loved ones.

Photography is about so much more than just a click of the shutter. It's about preserving emotions, connections, and stories that will transport you back in time with every glimpse. Just like that old selfie or Facebook post sparks a rush of nostalgia, I want your images to evoke the same powerful emotions for you, reminding you of the genuine joy and love that filled your special day.

Trust me to capture your moments with the same care and importance you hold them in your heart. Let's work together to create lasting visual keepsakes that tell your unique story for years to come.

    Guys I don’t care who you have booked as your photographer cancel them and book with Yolanda Darnell. I don’t think my wedding would have turned out the way it did if it wasn’t for this amazing woman. She came and catered to my every need. When everything was going wrong she made it right. I was a wreck before she showed up and I couldn’t stop smiling when she got there. There is NO ONE BETTER!!! thank you so much! I love you dearly

    I would like to give so much love to the most amazing photographer, Yolanda Darnell. The detail of each photo, she absolutely grasped the vision that my husband and myself wanted. I have seen a lot of photos from different weddings before and she is hands down absolutely amazing. She traveled from the beautiful state of Georgia to Ypsilanti, Michigan for our wedding. Words can not express the gratitude and appreciation we have for this amazing human being. All I can say is Thank You for everything and We Love you Very much!

    Yolanda Darnell Photography was the BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! Yolanda was so professional and relatable, and her skill definitely shines through her craft. Hundreds of photos were returned in a great time frame, we felt like we were being captured in the best way, and we’ve gotten so many compliments on how gorgeous these photos are! I’d recommend Yolanda’s work a million times over!
