Kansas City Wedding Photographer
Unearthing the deep and soul felt moments
Let’s Create Your Experience
Imagine a day that isn’t about tradition for tradition’s sake. A wedding day with more experience and less expectations. What if your wedding was actually about you?
When you give yourself permission to have a wedding that feels like you, the laughter is real, the moments are unforgettable, and the photos? They aren’t just beautiful—they’re alive. The kind that pull you back into the moment— where every teary vow and deep belly laugh is documented forever.
your wedding, your way
I’m here to help you release the stress and focus on what matters most—you. I’ll guide you through the process, supporting you in making decisions that honor your vision, so that you can let go of the pressure and enjoy every moment of the day you've dreamed of. Your wedding will be unforgettable—not because you followed a script, but because you made it your own.
This is where I come in.

your wedding should never feel like something you have to
But here’s what I want you to know...
These are the quiet fears that no one talks about—but I will.
Because I know what it feels like to let others’ opinions shape your wedding day. To look back and realize you made decisions based on what you thought you should do instead of what you truly wanted.
"But is it okay to make our wedding about us?"
"Will it still feel special if we do things differently?"
"What if we disappoint people?"

"Dawn is the best in KC! We had so much fun with her. She is so easy to work with and down to earth. We are SO in love with our photos. Her style of photography makes you feel comfortable and she really cares about her clients. She had us laughing and somehow created the ability to make it feel like it was one of our first dates! Feeling blessed to have these wonderful moments captured."

"Dawn's work is amazing, and she is so good with her clients. She gave us amazing direction, and helped us feel less awkward! She is so caring and thoughtful. we eloped, so we didn't have a wedding party, but it felt like she was my maid of honor rather than my photographer. She captured our love and who we really are! You will never need another photographer. Look no further. She does everything! We are drooling over our photos."

We used her for our engagement and wedding photos and are so in love with how they turned out. Throughout the entire process she has been a delight to communicate and plan with. Highly recommend her for any and all of your photography needs!"
