Telling YOUR Story, YOUR Way!
“We’d choose Dawn over and over again”
“Dawn and her husband Dan were a huge help through this entire wedding planning chapter. She was the calm in the storm of wedding chaos. She kept everything on track. They captured each beautiful moment perfectly. So perfectly that we felt each and every emotion from that day while looking through the photos. So much love, happiness, and laughter. If we had to go back and do it all over again, there isn’t a doubt in our minds who our photographer would be…we’d choose Dawn McClannan Photography over and over again.”
-Kelsey & Zach
Your wedding day however you’ve envisioned it
—is so much more than just a ceremony and a few portraits. It’s the whole experience—the emotions, the in-between moments, the energy, and the story that unfolds naturally.
I want photography to be more than something on your checklist of things to do for your wedding. You don't realize it now while you're so focused on centerpieces, and who's sitting where, and bridesmaid dresses, and florals— but photography is really the only thing that lasts past your wedding day.
Hi! it’s so nice to meet you!
My greatest passion is to capture your story with artistry, sincerity, and joy, and to create a space where you can show up and be fully present.
Photographs are something that will only increase in value over time as the images get passed down for generations. I'm passionate about capturing couples who believe in the value of meaningful, authentic photographs that will last a lifetime
Connection and trust really are everything. I’m not here to feel like “just another vendor,” and you’re definitely not just a client to me. We’re in this together. And yeah, maybe it sounds a little cheesy—but I truly care about my couples and get so invested in your story.
Because the truth is, my best work always comes from real connection—the kind that feels easy, natural, and fun.
At the end of the day, my biggest priority is that you’re actually enjoying yourselves. I promise, it doesn’t have to feel stiff or uncomfortable. I’ve got you. And we’re going to have a really good time doing this!

“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. Thank you Dawn for making our wedding day the most magical day we could imagine!”
-Alexa&Jeff
“Dawn and Dan went above and beyond what we could have ever imagined for ourselves for engagement and wedding photos! Words cannot express how grateful we are to them for capturing our love! Not only are they incredible photographers and people, but they are hands down the best vendor we’ve ever worked with!”
-Shaylyn&Bryce
“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!”
