About

...... when I get a glimpse at someone's tears of emotion, an intimate look between the bride and groom, tenderness between Mom and Dad.
..... capture the energy of the reception on my images.
......and as girl who doesn't love been around wedding dresses and beautiful decor.

My Style: I bring a photojournalist approach to your wedding day. I thrive on candid moments but also rely on natural poses when needed. Even though, I process my images to enhance the feel of the photo, but I dont' like to over process them as I think it takes away the authenticity of your photo. My goal is to capture your memories and the moments you missed, to capture the obvious and the unexpected. I work with another professional photographer, and with the two of us, your wedding day will be covered in all angles.

I get inspired by my surroundings but mainly by the couple, by what YOU decide to share with me.
I am not an "in your face" photographer. I am very discreet and unobtrusive everything from a distance. When I got married 12 years ago in France, I had a great photographer who knew I was not too keen on being photographed and he managed to capture our day beautifully while being very discreet, I want you to share the same experience.
I am very flexible and will cater to your requests as I want to meet your expectations ...and much more!

Beautiful and great to work with

Dominique was wonderful to work with! We loved getting to know Dominique more each time between our engagement session, my bridal portraits, and the wedding day!! Her photos are beautiful and she is extremely talented. Her turn around time for getting the photos to us surprised us each time. It was such a pleasant surprise to have an email containing our photos waiting for us when we returned from our honeymoon!! We also had many family members praise how quick the family photos went and it seemed to be the speediest family photos they'd been a part of. Dominique is very professional, talented, and an absolute joy to work with!

What a pleasure it was to work with Dominique!

Dominique Attaway was an absolute pleasure to work with and to have photographing our big day! Initially, I found hiring a photographer to be overwhelming. I recalled though that the photographer for my friend's wedding, which I was in, was great and I loved her pictures afterwards. So I asked my friend for her photographer's contact info. Dominique quickly replied and was very open and flexible on dates and location since we hadn't determined that yet. Since booking Dominique, she was wonderful and so easy to work with. She kept things very simple. And then on the wedding day, she was so incredibly helpful throughout the ups and downs of wedding day! She was friendly, flexible with where we took shots, captured everything I had asked, even assisted with a hair dilemma :) AND her pictures turned out beautifully. We are SO happy to have hired Dominique.

Dominique was the definition of perfection. "They" say you need to like your photographer because you will be spending the most time with them, and we loved Dominique. She was professional, understanding, and she got to know us well enough to know the things we did and did not want from our wedding photos. When we got the pictures back, they were even more perfect than we could have imagined. They were romantic, beautiful, and captured us perfectly. I am taken back to each moment of our special day anytime I look through our wedding photos because of Dominique!

Dominique is an absolutely incredible photographer!!!! She takes the fabulous pictures and we seriously cannot stop looking at our wedding photos! She has an amazing eye and captured the best shots along with perfect lighting. We got married at a country club and I told Dominique beforehand that I wanted to have some photos of my husband and I with a more relaxed, nature look and Dominique completely understood. During our cocktail hour, she drove my husband and I (in my wedding dress!) to the front of the country club to take photos of just us with trees and gorgeous flowers - these photos are my absolute favorite pictures from our wedding! We will treasure them forever! Dominique truly understood the look I wanted and captured it perfectly!

She also took the most gorgeous engagement photos as well and again understood the look and background we wanted! Dominique is an amazing photographer and has a wonderful personality! My husband kept raving about how easy and fun Dominique was to work with, and I couldn't agree more :) All of our family and friends are in love with our photos! In going through our wedding photos, Dominique truly captured the whole story of our wedding day and all the emotions. Tears come to my eyes every time I look at our wedding photos! I highly, highly recommend Dominque! She is truly incredible!!

Dominique is a true pro. We have so many incredible photos that left us wondering how she and her partner were able to catch so many angles without ever being in a photo or even noticed. She's efficient and gets the right shots without a lot of lull so that we had time to ourselves before the reception. We were a very laid back group and she captured our joy without forcing unnatural photos. I would absolutely recommend her services.

Dominique was a pleasure to work with and captured the loveliest moments for our recent wedding. She has a wonderful artistic eye and also knows how to capture a spontaneous moment with just the right touch. Our photos are gorgeous, and we are receiving the loveliest compliments on them. Perhaps more importantly, Dominique is a wonderful person to work with. So flexible, easy-going, and kind. She captured our engagement photos in NYC, which was another very special moment for us. Would highly recommend working with her!

We had a very specific look that we wanted for our wedding pictures. We wanted a photojournalistic style that captured moments rather than created them. Dominique is not only supremely talented, she also happens to be just about the loveliest person you've ever met. She took our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Our friends and family can't stop raving about Dominique's pictures. Everyone's first comment is how superb the pictures are! We can't say enough wonderful things about Dominique and can't recommend her strongly enough. We are recommending her to everyone!

We love Dominique! She was so easy to work with and truly captured the fun, loving nature of our daughter and son-in-law. When she posted her photos. I couldn't believe how beautiful they were. They brought tears to my eyes. She captured the love and emotions not only of the bride and groom but family and friends as well. Her photos are magical. Dominique is truly an artist.

Dominique was extremely easy to work with, from our very first interaction. She has the perfect demeanor for this job - very professional but also very relaxed and personable. Additionally, the quality of her work is bar none. I consulted with several photographers in the Charlottesville area, and most did a nice job but Dominique's work is at the next level. Plus, her prices were the most reasonable for her quality of work. One thing in particular that I appreciated about Dominique's work is that none of her photographs were too stuffy or overly formal but at the same time she was able to appreciate and capture the importance of this big day. As I look back at my wedding photos, I am pleasantly surprised how calm and relaxed we all look and that was all thanks to Dominique.

Dominique photographed our wedding at Veritas Vineyard last year and we could not have been happier with her service. The elegant, classy style of her photos really captured the beauty of the venue and the vibe of our wedding. She was professional and timely and did a great job portraying the entire event in photos. She also created a beautiful album for us. We would highly recommend her!
