Amazing Experience Working with Dawn

We worked with Dawn for our engagement photo shoot and our reception photography and videography. She was so great to work with. She was on time and punctual for all events (and, our engagement photo shoot started at 5:30 AM in Central Park :)). She made us feel extremely comfortable; it was easy to take our photos with her. We especially appreciated her practiced skills at crowd management for large group photos. Our engagement photos looked great, and we can’t wait to see the wedding photos. If you have the chance to work with Dawn, we highly recommend it!

a stellar photographer who checks all the boxes!

Dawn is a true professional and while photography is her craft, her customer service skills are unparalleled. What she offers is a much needed sigh of relief for brides like myself who may be overwhelmed with the wedding planning process.
For full disclosure, we just finished the engagement session with Dawn and she hasn't shot my wedding yet but I have the upmost confidence in her expertise. Her photo albums stand out because of her eye for candid shots, something she probably excels in because of her genuineness as a person.

Something Dawn said during our initial convo really stuck with me, which is that these wedding photos and albums can become family heirlooms. If mine do, I have Dawn Joseph Photography to thank for being the individuals behind the camera.

A pleasure to work with and perfect photos

Highly recommend Dawn! We used her for our engagement and wedding photos and we are behind happy. She was very prompt to respond to questions. She was also a pleasure to work with and made the experience fun. Not to mention her photography and work is perfect! We will definitely be using her again for future events!

Dawn is awesome!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Our package was perfect with 2 photographers and the videographer. Our pictures and video were perfect. Working with them was so easy.

Loved my wedding photos and video!

I got married in September 2019 and had two ceremonies in one day (hindu ceremony and non-denominational). It was a long day and I was very stressed about fitting everything in (particularly all the photos I wanted!). Dawn and her team were so efficient and flexible. They somehow managed to get all the photos I wanted and more! Dawn thought of all the different combinations of family/friends that I hadn't even put on my list. The photos were beautiful and included so many important moments. The video from Saajan was also amazing and had so many details from throughout the day! I would definitely recommend this team to others!!!

Thank you, Dawn!

My husband and I spoke with a lot of photographers when we were selecting our vendors and the thing that stood out to us about Dawn was that she was the only one who asked us how we met rather than immediately jumping into a sales pitch. I felt that she genuinely cared about building a relationship with us as potential clients, which is important considering the huge role she would be playing in the most special day of our lives. Dawn was always open to any questions we had along the way. When it came time to schedule our engagement photos, Dawn was flexible and understanding when schedules shifted or weather was less than ideal. Dawn's assistant, Ashlyn, was also fantastic to work with on our wedding day. She was quick to jump in and adjust my dress or veil to get the perfect shot and she consistently noticed when my husband or myself would be speaking with a group of people during the reception and was QUICK to get a group shot with all of us- that meant a lot to us. Not only is Dawn and her team great to work with, but she is also a true artist. Her work is outstanding and really speaks for itself. Our engagement photos turned out better than I could have imagined - I am sure our wedding photos will not disappoint either! Thank you, Dawn, for being a part of our wedding day!

The best EVER

I am only taking time to write this review because I am looking at my wedding pictures with friends and family crying tars of happiness at how the most amazing my day was captured. Every moment of my special day was highlighted in the photographs. From getting ready, to my dance with my dad, even the details like my grandmothers necklace that was passed down through generations. The team was timely, accommodating, and just a pleasure to work with. I would have gladly paid them double for the work they did. I highly recommend them to everyone I know.

Beyond Awesome

I have never been photographed professionally and if this is what I can come to expect sign me up!! Ashlyn is sweet, organized and a natural talent. It takes a lot to impress me so when Dawn was not available to cover my day she suggested I give Ashlyn a shot. I was skeptical and didn't think I would end up going through it. I wanted the studio head and owner! So I went with Ashlyn, Dawn was in the office so we spoke with her briefly. Dawn was totally knowledgeable and Ashlyns work spoke for itself. I couldn't be happier with my choice and love the work Ashlyn produced for us. Thank you DJP!!

The best!

Deciding to hire Dawn for my wedding day was the best decision my husband and I could have made! Even before our wedding day she was very responsive and in constant contact with us asking questions and making sure she had a full grasp of what we wanted; and on the wedding day she did not disappoint! Every picture request that was sent to her was completed, and her unique and creative photoshoots were incredible and it was so easy to work with her and her crew! My bridesmaids were stunned and amazed by how attentive to details she was and how she took control of a hectic day and made it so simple, easy and stress free!
Dawn, thank you so much for making our day so easy and perfect, and going well beyond all expectations!! We can not wait to see all the amazing pictures and finish product!
Would and Will recommend Dawn and her crew to anyone in need of an incredible photographer!
