Why pick me? Because for real, the best compliment I've ever received from a client is the purest example of why I'm worth every penny: "[Dawn] gave us the feeling that our wedding pictures were as important to her as they were to us."

And it's true. I'm passionate about what I do and try to get my best photos ever at every wedding I attend. Your photos are the most important photos I will ever take, and the trust you give me as the person documenting these moments in your life together is such an honor.

Introduction

My vendor friend once called me ‘The unofficial Mayor of Pittsburgh Wedding World.’ To my face.

Why?

Because so many wedding photographers go out of style, or burn out, or fade into the background of the community. But I’m still here. And I still love it. I’ve seen it all. I set the bar for wedding photography in this city. My reviews from my couples, my relationships with this community, and (duh) my photographs…speak for themselves.

What prewritten, ~About Me~ page could compete with all of that???

My story is your story. My business is my full, authentic, and present self. Everything you need to know about me has been said through my work and my client’s words.

I’m Dawn Derbyshire, and I guess I must be having fun, because I’ve been photographing weddings for over a decade. My couples have said my talent is ‘immeasurable,’ and my portraits ‘have no price tag.’
