A Questionnaire will be sent to ya'll just 2 months before the wedding day to get to know ya'll better, which helps me a ton to capture your day better, and also helps answer any questions about your day to clarify last minute details.
The big day is here! Your beautiful wedding day! I will help walk you through your day, leading you both through the locations but also fully prepped if we need to change things up at any point. For the ceremony, I will help find the perfect spot within the landscape + lighting, if family is there, I will help them find their best spots too.

After the wedding day, You will receive the most beautiful present from myself! A custom made leather album, FULL of polaroids from your wedding day. I want you and your partner to be able to go home, and already reminisce on the moments and see how beautiful it truly was.
Within 48 hours of your wedding day, you will receive a FULL sneak peek gallery you can share with friends + family.

This gallery will have a link that you can share with your friends and family right away! It will ALSO include a video, of all the phone video behind the scenes I captured throughout your elopement day. If we also recorded your ceremony on one of my cameras, that will also be included. (This is always an option for no extra charge!)
All galleries are delivered through email to an online gallery where you can download, print, save favorites and so much more. Depending on the session/wedding, it could be anywhere from 6-12 weeks, and anywhere from 100-1000+ photos.
I am based out of Eugene, Oregon. I do travel! I love it so much! But honestly so many couples are dying to explore the Pacific Northwest, and I love taking people to my favorite spots and making an adventure out of it!
I’m always down to reschedule if need be, so just keep me posted and we will make it happen. If you cancel your session, I’ll be super sad but I totally understand! I have a non refundable retainer fee so you won’t be receiving that portion back, but if you’ve paid more, than I will pay you back for that portion.
If the weather is bad, I’m still here for it! I’m born and raised in Oregon, so no weather really scares me. Some rainy days can be so much fun during shoots and elopements. We can try to reschedule if that’s your wish, but we will communicate about all that together!
Yesss!!!! I think payment plans are amazing, and I’m super open to working something out that works best for ya’ll!
Ya’ll. Acts of service is my #1 love language. I want to be as much of a resource to ya’ll for help as you want. Whether that’s helping pick a location for your shoot/elopement, or even finding your airbnb, hair and makeup artists, outfits to wear…I’m here to help in anyway!
If I’m traveling to you for your shoot/elopement, then I will factor all the travel expenses (flight, rental car, accommodations…) into your total cost so you won’t have to worry about hidden fees or more payments later on.
I do not give my RAW images. This is where my style + art come alive in the photos, and I will deliver you the high resolution edited images. Trust me, you don’t want the RAWS!
Oh I GOT YOU! I will help you 1000% with outfits and whatnot, I have a “what to wear” guide i’ll send you to help you prep for your shoot. But at the end of the day, I truly recommend you to dress how you always dress, and what makes you feel most beautiful!
Nope! I do not photoshop my photos unless I neeeeeeed to, but that’s generally to get something out of the photo, like random people walking around behind your photos or something like that.

A good photographer can take beautiful photos and have happy clients. A GREAT photographer like Dawn, takes beautiful photos, while also adding another layer of happiness to your day. Leaving you knowing that your day wouldn’t have been as great as it was, if she wasn’t there. She makes you comfortable enough to be yourself so the photos capture exactly who you are as a couple. She truly has a gift. It was a day we will never forget and we could not be happier with our experience and our photos.
From Emilee & Jimmie
from Sierra + Matt
Eloping is such an intimate process and one of the biggest factors for that special day is who is capturing it and guiding you along the way. Dawn exceeded our expectations, she put all our fears to rest, she was 100% always there when we needed her, and was able to offer guidance and endless resources to make sure our day was magical.
from Sally + James
Our time with Dawn was magical! She captured every bit of genuine emotion, connection, and love shared on our wedding day. Not only was Dawn amazing at scouting locations for us, but she truly made those locations come to life in the photos she took. It is so often that “pictures don’t do it justice”, but my goodness, these pictures do just that. The way she captured the beauty of us within the landscape was beyond. She also saw the small looks and nuances between the two of us and allowed us to be ourselves even though there was a camera there.
from Kelsey + Hunter
She is an absolute delight of a human who loves love and feels just as excited about your wedding day as you are. Dawn was such a cheerleader, and she had already thought through any and everything we either forgot or didn’t even think of. She made the day such a breeze, and we had our full trust in her from the beginning. You won’t find a more talented, hard-working or kind-hearted photographer as Dawn. Our photos have brought tears to our eyes because they are so breathtaking, allowing us to relieve this special day from every angle. It was PERFECT. We are so, so, so grateful for Dawn!
