About

The cake is eaten, the flowers wilted, and the guests have all gone home; the only thing left are the memories. When the photography matters to you, consider Dogwood.

Wilmington, NC has stunning beaches as well as amazing intimate venues both downtown and along the coast which make for beautiful wedding locations.

My wife and I chose the name Dogwood Photography after moving the photography business from the Kansas City, Missouri Area to the Wilmington area in 2011. The Dogwood is the state tree of Missouri, and the State Flower of North Carolina; so it was the right fit to describe our journey.

Perfection, perfection, PERFECTION! Dale and his team were beyond my expectations. We bonded with Dale instantly and he became family. He and his team were so involved with our guests that it was as if they were family walking around with cameras. So easy to work with!!! He made me feel like the most beautiful woman on the earth on my special day. Thank you so much for making our day so perfect!

We booked Dale for our engagement pictures as well as our July wedding (yes, this is a long overdue review) & could not be happier with how our pictures turned out! Dale was so great to work with and made us feel comfortable - as Dale mentions on his website, if you've never had professional pictures together as a couple it can be a little awkward at first, but Dale was able to work with us and joke around until we were comfortable. Dale was super organized throughout the process and we met with him a few times to go over everything, which was so nice since I'm a big planner. We also had some chaos with other vendors and Dale helped ease some of that and calm me down when things weren't going as planned. All of our guests also enjoyed Dale and mentioned how great he was at fitting in and making the process seamless. Not to mention, Dale's prices are also very reasonable the quality is amazing. Such a great experience!

I could not be happier with the service that Dogwood provided for my wedding (and all events leading up to my wedding)! Dale went over and beyond what I expected and I am overjoyed and grateful! I have done nothing but brag on the wonderful experience we had. Many things in the chaotic day went haywire but Dale and his team at Dogwood remained consistently prompt and helpful. My heart was full on my wedding day and so much thanks goes to Everyone who helped from Dogwood photography; from their wonderful talent to their willingness to enjoy the moments with me. The wind was a little out of control during the ceremony and portraits, where i was a bit concerned with how the pictures would turn out. I couldn't believe how well they turned out, and at the same time they captured the funny moments of it all. Pricing is very reasonable! I will forever cherish these pictures to laugh, cry, and re-live everything about that day.

Dale Rocks!!! We still have guests complimenting us on how nice and professional our photographer was! We also did our engagement pictures with Dale and still haven't decided which we want to frame since we love them all! If any one can make my camera shy groom smile in pictures, they have to be good- and Dale went above and beyond good!

Dale Foshe was excellent! We absolutely loved working with him. He photographed my daughter's engagement, bridal portraits and wedding and we would definitely recommend Dogwood Photography! I loved the way he interacted with my daughter, he was very fun to work with and that made her relax and be more herself. He was all about the bride and what the bride wanted. He wanted to make sure she was happy and he was photographing exactly what she wanted and he was very thorough making sure he captured everything perfectly. He was very quick in returning photos back to us and the quality of the photos were excellent. We can't imagine working with anyone else!

Dale is amazing! I am able to look at my photographs from my wedding and feel like I am there all over again! His attention to detail is amazing. He is able to capture the emotion in his work! Super easy to work with and very calm under pressure. Even when dealing with a bridezilla like myself!
