About

I can't wait to celebrate with you!

At DES, I strive to provide our couples with an incredible and memorable experience. There is nothing that fires me up more than a couple who is over-the-moon excited to get married and is ready to treat their wedding day like the celebration it should be.

Your experience with your photographer should be fun, easy, and the least stressful part of your wedding experience (okay, maybe next to cake tasting) and thats what I strive to give my couples. I will capture the smallest detail to the biggest celebrations, and all of the candid moments in between. When the festivites are over, only your memories and photographs will remain. I want these photos to not only be loved and cherished by you, but also by your friends, family and your future great-grandchildren. That's why I do what I do!

Phenomenal Photographer

Not only is Dawn an amazing photographer, she's a genuinely wonderful person. It was such a pleasure to work with her and we couldn't have asked for better wedding photos. Her second shooter, Jess, was equally wonderful.

Dawn is super organized which made the day of an absolute breeze. She was always conscious of our timeline and made sure we got the most out of our day.

One of the main reasons we selected Dawn, was for her reasonably priced all-day coverage package. We had a Catholic wedding which meant an early ceremony and a late reception - in other words a long day. A lot of other photographers in San Antonio only offer 4 or 5 hours of coverage and then charge you an arm and a leg for each additional hour. With Dawn, we didn't have to choose which part of the day we wanted photographed just to stay within our budget. We got all the photos we wanted and more.

Another bride already mentioned this in another review, but I was so impressed I thought it was worth mentioning again - by the time dinner was over Dawn had already put together a sneak peak of our photos on her iPad. She placed the iPad at the bar so our guests could view some of the photos while they ordered drinks. I had never seen another photographer do that before and it was such a beautiful surprise for us.

I'm sure I could list 100 other reasons to hire Dawn, but in short you'll love your wedding photos and you'll love having her by your side on your big day. She'll be there to talk you through cake cutting, your bouquet toss, and will make you genuinely laugh so your photos don't look staged/forced.

Thanks again Dawn!

The Best Photographer!

Dawn is a truly wonderful photographer. I thought she did an amazing job with our engagement photos, but WOW the wedding photos were on a whole other level of incredible! One of my bridesmaids commented that it’s clear “weddings are her thing, her sweet spot,” and we couldn’t agree more. From being incredibly generous with timing, to being super efficient with portraits, from surprising us with sneak peak photos at the reception (I still have no idea how she pulled that off!), to offering couples photos to anyone who wanted them, she and her second shooter went above and beyond in ways it is hard to fully capture in words. She exuded energy and excitement the whole way through, and it’s clear she absolutely loves what she does for a living. I one hundred percent recommend Dawn and her team! You will not be disappointed!

Dawn is amazing

Dawn is amazing to work with! She's very organized and knows exactly what she's doing. I'm still getting compliments from people at the wedding on how great she was. We've already gotten all of our wedding photos and our wedding was LESS THAN A MONTH AGO! I wouldn't have had it any other way!!Dawn is amazing to work with!
