Telling YOUR Story, YOUR Way!
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!

“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!”
