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.
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.
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?"
ABOUT ME
Let’s throw out the rulebook and document your love, your way.
If we work together, here’s what you can expect: a laid-back, no-pressure vibe, a whole lot of encouragement, and a photographer who truly gets what this day means to you.
I know firsthand what it’s like to feel the pressure of planning a wedding—family expectations, traditions, and opinions everywhere you turn. That’s why I’m here to help you create a day that feels authentic to YOU and no one else.
So whether your dream wedding is on a mountaintop, in a quiet forest, or a candlelit venue filled with your closest people—you are allowed to choose what feels right for you. And I’ll be right there -- showing up as your biggest advocate, unearthing those soul felt moments that bring out the realness and depth of your day with photos that you can feel.

"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."
