About

I am a natural light enthusiast with a soft spot for fall weddings, the look on couples faces when they see each other for the first time, cloudy skies and wedding ceremonies filled with personal touches that bring tears to my eyes. I love creating a bond with my clients, and I feel like that bond with my couples is so essential since I am an integral part of the precious moments that they will hold on to forever.

The most incredible experience!

Ultimate hype woman, master of magical photos, and kindest vendor… Dawn’s talent and skill is indescribable! Out of all the vendors we dreamed of working with, Dawn was at the top of that list, and we’re so thankful to have had the opportunity to work together!

While I’m more familiar and comfortable with my photo being taken, my sweet husband was not. But right from the start of our engagement shoot, he immediately felt at ease with Dawn! The day of our wedding, Dawn’s right hand gal Krista made him feel equally happy to pose, smile and smooch me without a second thought to the cameras. This alone was worth every bit of our investment!

The turnaround for the preview was INSANE and when we sat at our sweetheart table for dinner… I’m not sure how it was even possible, but there were some gorgeous Polaroids of the first look pictures we took ahead of time. It made me and my husband tear up, and will be a forever happy memory from the day.

We are so beyond elated to have chosen Dawn, and wholeheartedly recommend her to any and everyone looking for the best photographer to capture your love!

Dawn is the BEST!

While there are amazing photographers in Pittsburgh, I’m going to have to argue that Dawn Derbyshire is the best. She was the first vendor I booked in July 2018 right after we booked our venue. And after seeing the INCREDIBLE 110 photos she produced within less than 24 hours after our wedding, I remember why that was. Honestly --- every photo looks as though it could be published in a magazine and captures how we were feeling on your special day. Dawn's attention to detail is impeccable. She is also hilarious, charming, and so sweet to work with, she makes you feel so comfortable. INSANE GOOD PEOPLE! She also sent us over 1000+ more photos within 10 days of the wedding, and hand delivered the USB drive with the most adorable package including a few cute little gifts and a stack of prints that we weren’t even expecting! We also used her selfie booth at the wedding for the guests, and they were all obsessed and wanted to take it home lol. If you are lucky enough to have Dawn be available on your day, book her immediately! SERIOUSLY -- she will capture your day in a way that you can truly relive it for the rest of your lives.

Dawn was absolutely AMAZING. I couldn't have asked for a more professional photographer to shoot my wedding. She arrived early ( as she does for everything). Being a bride on her wedding day you can count on her to be on time and to put you at ease.

She was always willing to get down and dirty to get those beautiful shots. She adventures with me for our Engagment photos to a natural waterfall, climbed up and down over rocks to get those amazing shots!

The day of the wedding she was willing to take photos of me on a horse ( most photographers are scared to do so ) but this girly was not! She honestly worked with us to give us everything we wanted and more!!!!

Her delivery time on images blew me away!!!! I had my photos less than a week!!!! A little gold box arrived at my door step, in that small box held images I will cherish for the rest of my life.

I would absolutely recommend dawn! She was a blessing to work with!
