My Approach
Real connection builds real trust—and that’s what allows me to create the kind of images that feel like you.
1.
I want you to embrace the spontaneous fun, the carefree moments, and the laughter. Let yourselves express your love freely, without any inhibitions. I want you to have a day filled with so much love you can’t help but adore every second of it!
2.
My process is to focus entirely on the energy, the real moments, the fragments that accumulate to the overall expression of the day with no pressure so you can be fully present
3.
I want to know you and what’s most important to you on your wedding day and how you want to bring everyone together. I want you to look back on your photos and remember how it felt. I love that every time i pick up my camera the story will be completely different from the last.
4.
It’s knowing when to step back and let things happen, and when to gently guide you so you never feel lost in front of the camera. Being photographed doesn’t always come naturally. And it doesn’t have to. My role is to create an atmosphere where your story unfolds authentically—perfectly imperfect, beautifully unposed, and deeply yours.
“Dawn was able to capture the love that we felt on our wedding day and freeze it in time–this is a part of Dawn’s magic! Her attention to detail was always present, and her vision is unparalleled.” J&N
As a photographer, I live for those unscripted moments that really capture your connection – whether it's a heartfelt look or capturing tear-filled laughter during a speech. My goal is to freeze-frame all the emotions & memories of your big day, ensuring each moment is treasured for years to come. Trust me, it's those authentic moments that truly steal the show.
There’s no greater compliment than a couple trusting me to capture their story
WEDDINGS
I love wedding days because no two are ever the same. Your day is the only one like yours, and that’s exactly what I want to capture—the hilarious, the beautiful, the wild, the tears. All the little in-between moments that end up being the ones you’ll look back on forever. I’ve photographed weddings as close as 20 minutes from home and Internationally, and every single one is deeply important to me. Whether it’s big or small, near or far, my goal is always the same: to capture your story, in a way that feels like you.
ELOPEMENTS
Elopements can be anything you want them to be—just the two of you, or a few of your closest people, somewhere adventurous … or simple and meaningful. That’s the beauty of eloping: there are no rules. We can turn your day into a nearly all-day experience—taking it slow, soaking everything in, and filling it with the things you love most or an incredible multi-day adventure with endless possibilities. I’ll be there to photograph it all, from the quiet, intentional moments that feel like “you,” to the vows, the laughter, and the joy of celebrating your love in a way that’s completely your own.
