The absolute best vendor we had

If I could give Dawn more stars I would! Dawn litterally made our wedding day! She was a professional, she was understanding, she was flexible, she was excited. She is so easy to work with and captures the most incredible moments. My fiance does not love taking pictures and she made it so easy for him to sit back and actually enjoy the experience.

Dawn attention to lighting and scenary is amazing. She far exceeded our expectations! Dawn also had our preview of photos to us in 24 hours. We looked at the photos over and over again, and just couldnt believe how she was able to capture our day. We had a small intimate wedding and Dawn was able to be efficient with her time without sacrificing any of the variety and locations.

Prior to the wedding Dawn and I spoke several times, and she gave me the time line for my day. She was able to help with not only photography questions, but pacing for the entire wedding! her guidance was greatly appreciated!

Dawn is like having your best friend shoot your wedding photos, she is easily able to understand you as a couple and your vision for your wedding day and capture it all in her photos. I will not stop recommending her to everyone I meet. She is not only talented as a photographer. She is a great person making it so easy to work with her!

The best elopement experience

I can’t say enough about Dawn. From the very moment we started talking, she immediately made me feel comfortable and excited about my elopement day. She calmed my nerves when the weather wasn’t exactly turning out the clear blue way we thought it would, and ended up taking beautiful photos in the white fog which actually ended up becoming my favorite. She took us to various locations to get different backdrops and before we completed our five hour drive back home she had already sent me the highlights! I’m so grateful to her, her beautiful work, and her making our day absolutely unforgettable!

Best Elopement Photographer Out There!

Dawn is absolutely wonderful to work with! I recommend her to everyone I know looking for an elopement photographer. Dawn did my husband, Dylon, and I's Adirondack Elopement in Lake Placid, NY. She was so easy to work with, always there for you, always willing to take phone calls, answer questions, and help you with anything you need to make your day extra special. Dawn is always up for anything and always gets the best shots! I could go on forever about how amazing she was! We are absolutely in love with our photos!

Dawn made our dreams come true.

I don’t even know how to begin expressing my gratitude. Dawn is an incredibly talented photographer and a wonderful human. She responded to our inquiry almost immediately. We were able to set up a phone call shortly after. Dawn was reassuring, insightful and trustworthy. She coordinated our wedding day and recommended other vendors. Dawn executed our wedding day PERFECTLY. She listened and prioritized what we wanted but also used her expertise to guide us. She made us feel like the most important people on the planet. Our previews were available exactly 24 hours after our wedding. Dawn is an angel. It was an honor to be photographed by her. We are so grateful to have had her on our wedding day.

Dream photographer!

We hired Dawn in January 2020 and she stuck with us through 2 covid postponements, an elopement, and finally the big wedding with all of our loved ones in attendance.

When we decided to elope in 2021, Dawn helped us create our timeline, suggested a few locations, and captured all of the emotion and happiness of our intimate mountaintop ceremony.

Then, one year later, she photographed our big fairytale wedding with 150 guests. Once again, her photos told the story of the day and we cannot stop looking at them. Dawn was able to capture candid, natural-looking photos of us and our guests, as well as beautiful posed shots that we will treasure for years to come. On the day of the wedding she managed to catch every moment while completely blending in. She is the epitome of professionalism, but also friendly, easy to connect with, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Dawn truly went above and beyond to photograph our TWO special days in the most beautiful and memorable way possible.

Cool, calm, and creative

My now husband is not a photo guy. Our wedding was also casual, rustic, on a working farm. I knew going into our wedding that I would need a photographer who made us feel comfortable and was good at the outdoorsy look we were going for. Dawn was amazing at taking candid photos and even staged ones in a very relaxing, down-to-earth way. We absolutely LOVE the end result of our wedding photographs. I would recommend Dawn to anyone looking for someone who doesn't feel like they are hovering and who takes incredibly natural photos, Thank you, Dawn!

Above and beyond

I found Dawn on Instagram many years ago and instantly fell in love with her work. When we got engaged last year, she was my top choice for a photographer. After speaking with her, it became clear that she was the ONLY choice for a photographer. She is very responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and quickly felt like a friend! We enjoyed our time with her and she really put us at ease every time we were in front of her camera!

Beyond being insanely talented at her job, Dawn is highly knowledgeable about the Adirondacks and the industry in general. She took us to the most beautiful, hidden gem locations for both our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. She was able to offer recommendations for hair and makeup, food, and ceremony locations-all of which were PERFECT. Dawn created our timeline and made sure we stayed on track throughout the day. She helped me remember critical items (like my veil and flat shoes) when I was too frazzled. When you hire Dawn, you’re getting so much more than a photographer. She is truly wonderful. She went above and beyond at every turn to ensure we had the perfect day.

Also, her turn around for our previews was absolutely astonishing considering how busy she is! Within 24 hours, we had about 60 previews! A week or two later, we got a bunch more. She is just amazing! We would hire her again and again. Dawn really was one of the best decisions we made for our day!

Best Photographer Ever!

There are not enough words to express how grateful we were to have met Dawn. She went above and beyond from the moment we first contacted her. She was super communicative, extremely responsive, had competitive pricing, and was truly the coolest person we had ever met. From organizing our engagement shoot (which had to be rescheduled), to creating a wedding timeline, to accommodating to all of our requests, and to executing it all and more on our wedding day, she truly made our whole wedding experience a stress-free and memorable time. My husband and I are still swooning over our engagement photos and wedding day photos. We had such a hard time choosing ones because we seriously loved them all. Not to mention - the sneak preview pictures she sends the DAY AFTER the engagement shoot and wedding day are unreal! Our guests just could not believe it. Dawn was able to capture my husband and I so perfectly with her candid and natural shots, we could not have imagined going with anyone else. Highly, highly, highly recommend!

Simply the Best

We are so grateful that we chose Dawn as our wedding photographer for our small, intimate wedding in the Adirondacks. She came highly recommended by our venue and after the first time we spoke with Dawn, we could understand why. From her initial booking to the day of the wedding, Dawn was there for us to answer any questions we had and to help us plan our day effectively. On the day of the wedding she was professional, helpful, and felt like a friend right away. She made us feel comfortable behind the camera and we hardly noticed that she was there at all throughout the day. Our guests loved her as well as she was easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about the region. She knew all the best spots to take us to and within 24 hours she sent us numerous photos as a preview. Her photos are stunning as she easily captures the beauty of your surroundings while also highlighting the love between the couple. Book Dawn now, you definitely will not regret it!

Incredible photographer, person, and wedding professional!

Hiring Dawn as our photographer was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding day. She is so great at what she does and we couldn’t have imagined the day without her! We had a great time getting to know Dawn during our engagement shoot last October. She had so many wonder hidden gems throughout the Adirondacks to take us to and we were able to use those beautiful photos for our save the dates! Fast-forward to our wedding day and Dawn was so organized, easy going, and definitely put both my husband and I at ease. We had so much fun taking pictures and Dawn and her second shooter were both ready to jump in and help wherever they could! Our wedding party also commented on how much fun they had taking photos, and as a result the photos came out so natural and candid because she made everyone feel so comfortable. She also helped us develop our timeline for the day and it worked out perfectly! Now, a few weeks after the wedding, we are SO grateful so have beautiful, candid shots to look back on. It was the best day of our lives, and hiring Dawn made that day and the entire wedding planning process so much fun. We’re so glad we found her, and would highly recommend her to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the privilege of working alongside Dawn Honsky this summer with two of my clients. When I say alongside, I mean she is a real team player. The experience was truly a pleasure. Dawn is organized, timely, and as adventurous as they come! She’s respectful and never in your face. Her work is breathtaking and timeless, natural and organic. Both my couples were over-joyed with their pictures and I am thrilled to have stunning images of her work to share. Highly recommend her services for anyone looking for an out of the box thinker and true professional.
