Telling Your Story, Your Way!
—embrace the spontaneous fun, the carefree moments, and the laughter. Let yourselves express your love freely, without any inhibitions
I’m so excited we’ve made it to this stage!
I want to be a calm, confident presence —An instinctive and trusted guide who makes posing feel natural and full of emotion, and who won’t miss any of the candid moments. Having couples trust me to tell their story means everything. So let’s dive in and see if we’re the perfect fit!
My goal
is to capture a couple’s story with artistry, sincerity, and joy, and to offer couples a standout experience with every detail meticulously considered.
So when I became a wedding photographer, I saw it differently. It was never just about taking pretty pictures of a couple in love. It was about learning who matters most to you—the people you want to remember for a lifetime. The ones whose faces and stories you’ll tell your children, your grandchildren, and generations beyond.
We don’t have unlimited moments. Every laugh, every tear, every touch is something worth holding onto. Life is fleeting, but photographs? They last forever. And each time I click the shutter, I’m creating something your loved ones can hold close long after the moment has passed.
There are no words for how special that is.
When it comes to elopements
-we are a team!
My husband, Dan is involved in every elopement and destination wedding I photograph.
He’s my second shooter, off-road Jeep driver, officiant, and all around amazing person.
we want to help you design the perfect day from start to finish.
At some point during your adventure, we’ll be there with you in a stunning location, as you commit your lives to each other. It’s going to be unforgettable!

“Dawn and Dan made our elopement an absolute dream come true. Dawn has such a gift for capturing not just moments, but emotions—every photo feels like a piece of art, and we’re completely obsessed. Her attention to detail and creative eye are unmatched, and her warm, calming presence made the day feel so special and effortless.”

“Dan was equally wonderful, officiating our ceremony with so much heart and being an amazing second shooter alongside Dawn. Together, they brought such magic and care to every part of our day. We are forever grateful to this incredible duo for turning our elopement into something truly unforgettable. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime!”

“Dawn was so helpful in talking through options, even though we were connecting by email and phone, it was such a personal experience. Dawn was there every step of the way to discuss what the process would be like before during and after. When the time came, we decided to elope in Yosemite National Park. She and Dan got there before us and scouted out areas for the ceremony as well as potential areas to take pictures throughout the park after. They spent so much time with us on the wedding day, We can't thank Dawn and Dan enough for their kindness and attention to detail. We will never forget this experience!”

As a minimum, for weddings, I deliver at least 400. I don't put a set number on how many you will receive but I never leave anything out. I don't put a cap or a limit on what I will deliver. Every wedding is different and varies from the last, and numbers are always changing.
-
We can reschedule if weather is really that awful, but some of my favorite sessions ever have been in rain/hail/snow storms! And wind? Wind is what I pray that we get before every shoot! Embracing the weather makes for incredible photos. The only times I’ve rescheduled shoots due to weather is if my camera will be ruined by the weather. We will make the decision together whether we need to reschedule or not.
-
I sure do! I specialize in central U.S. and Colorado travel is always included. Any other costs for photography and travel will always be up front in your contract, and you'll never be surprised by the final cost.
-
I can help you find a venue and recommend vendors to make your day as seamless and special as it should be.
-
Yes, absolutely. You can download all of your photos, in high resolution, for free. I never charge per download. If you'd like prints, you can print directly from your personal gallery.
-
If you already put deposit down on a date and then have to move/cancel it, the deposit is non-refundable and a new deposit will have to be made in order to hold your new date. I don’t do this because I’m trying to suck money from you, but because I’m counting on that money during that time to pay bills and I only take on limited amounts of jobs per month, meaning that I depend on that money.
