My photographs are alive as I freeze your first kiss forever in my camera. There’s a *very* high chance I’m holding back tears behind it as cheering fills the space. As I follow you back down the aisle, I’ll make you stop and kiss again for that epic "Just Married!" shot. Every image will make your cheeks hurt from happiness when you scroll my midnight sneak peek over a box of cookies. The weight of your new ring reminds you that a new chapter started. Weeks later, one photo will have your guests reminiscing about the dance party as they open your thank you cards. They’ll place it on their fridge until the sun fades your smiles.
A few good candids will make up the goofy throwback post on your five year anniversary…celebrated in Italy?! Maybe! Your favorite portrait will join the growing collection of photos in frames on the mantle where you celebrate the holidays together. Then one day, that same portrait will be packed delicately–and placed strategically–on a very special table at the wedding of someone you haven’t met yet. You’ll win the anniversary dance and then give advice to the newlyweds.
That’s the living legacy I want to share with my couples. Your photographs are who you are now, on your wedding day, kept safe for who you’ll be in the future. Who you choose to trust your memories with matters. A lot.
I’m Dawn, and I'm a Pittsburgh based wedding photographer who loves to photograph your real, blissed-out wedding moments so you can relive them later.
With me, there is no separating the now from the nostalgia, because I always deliver both.
