“I can’t believe how perfect this day was”

One of my couples said this at the end of their day when we were saying our goodbyes, and I thought:

YES, that’s exactly how your wedding day should feel.

Real. Honest. Joyful. Present.

Every celebration is more than an event — it’s a story that reflects your style, your journey and your vision.

A wedding day experience that makes you leave more in love with each other than you came

With 10+ years of experience and 150+ weddings photographed —the moment you fill out the contact form, I’m all in with you, from that first excited email, to your final gallery —here’s what you can expect.

  • Every celebration I help create is more than an event — it’s a story. One that reflects your style, your journey, and your vision, brought to life with emotion, grace, and intention.

  • I pour my heart and experience into every detail so your day isn’t just beautiful and seamless — it feels joyful, relaxed, and completely unforgettable for you and everyone you love.

  • From your very first message, I’m right there with you — sharing guidance, creative ideas, and steady support — so the entire process feels exciting, easy, and just as meaningful as the celebration itself.

  • I cannot say enough about working with Dawn and Dan. They were the best people to work with and spend all day with. Our photos have turned out so beautifully, beyond what I could imagine. The photos have turned out like art which is something we were looking for! 1000% recommend booking! E&C

  • “Dawn and her husband Dan are such amazing human beings, I cannot thank them enough! They recently photographed our small wedding in Colorado and they went above and beyond in every aspect. Our wedding photos are STUNNING! They are seriously more beautiful than I could've ever imagined! B&J

  • "We wanted timeless wedding photos that could be displayed in our home and cherished forever, and Dawn exceeded our expectations. Her ability to capture emotion, lighting, and landscapes is phenomenal. In addition to her exceptional photography, the experience of working with Dawn is fantastic!" M&Z

  • "Dawn was an absolute joy to work with! Having her capture our wedding was a dream come true. The photos turned out beyond stunning" K&K

“We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Dawn for our wedding day. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond — Neither of us had ever had professional photos taken before, but Dawn made us feel completely at ease. She gave clear, thoughtful direction that resulted in natural, effortless photos we absolutely love.

Beyond her talent behind the camera, she treated our families with genuine kindness and respect, which meant the world to us.
We’re so grateful we chose her!” T&C

Hey, I’m Dawn

Your Traditional Wedding and Adventure Elopement Photographer

My Promise To You

Is to capture your story with artistry, sincerity, and joy, and to create a space where you can show up and be fully present.

After 10+ years experience and over 150 weddings photographed, I’ve learned that posing and directing go hand-in-hand. So your photos will feel natural and you’re never left feeling awkward.

I’m a hopeless romantic and lifelong creative who’s obsessed with connection, good light, and stories that feel timeless without trying too hard. I want your photos to feel effortless and real — like memories you can actually feel.

Most days, I’m working right alongside my husband, Dan — second shooter, off-road Jeep driver, officiant, adventure buddy, and all-around amazing human. Together, we help you create an intentional, joy-filled wedding experience from start to finish.

We love to be home in CO or NE with our two sweet mini Aussie’s and helping couples craft intentional, meaningful wedding days from start to finish — Which is definitely part of our love language — guiding, celebrating, and documenting every moment along the way.

KIND WORDS

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Dawn (and Dan)! She absolutely crushed it with our wedding photos and made our entire day one to remember. She was always available to chat in the months leading up to our wedding and was a constant calming energy for me. She made the day so comfortable and fun. We had the best time laughing with her and Dan. And the PHOTOS!!! INCREDIBLE is an understatement. they are everything we hoped for and more and I’m so very thankful to have them as they captured the love and beauty of the day perfectly. Can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Dawn for making our wedding day the most magical day we could imagine!” Alexa & Jeff
