Highly Recommended Incredible Photographer

I highly recommend Dwayne and his team for wedding photography. He was our photographer at my destination wedding at Sandals South Coast in Jamaica. Our photos are breathtakingly beautiful and bring to life our wedding day.

In our wedding planning process, Dwayne was super informative and understanding.

During our actual wedding day, he was a calming and instructive presence creating authentic moments while keeping with the schedule and navigating strong personalities.

He amazingly captured our love story and supported our decisions for key moments throughout our wedding. He is the best in the business.

Dwayne Watkins & Team are THE Way to Go for Your Wedding Day

We had the pleasure of working with Dwayne as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, Dwayne was a dream to work with. He was professional, incredibly patient, and attentive to every detail.

His communication leading up to the big day was clear and reassuring, making us confident that everything would go smoothly. On the day of the wedding, Dwayne and his fantastic team blended in seamlessly with our wedding party, capturing stunning moments without ever feeling intrusive. They worked perfectly together, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted while keeping the atmosphere light and fun.

Dwayne’s approach made the entire experience stress-free, and we’re beyond thrilled with the beautiful photos. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer who truly cares about bringing your wedding day memories to life!

Perfect captured memories!

If you're seeking a wedding photographer who not only captures moments but also creates timeless memories, look no further than Dwayne and his team at Team DWP! From the moment we met, Dwayne was so warm, professional and really passionate about us being able to get the best wedding photographs! We booked TeamDWP well in advance, and Dwayne periodically check in with us to make sure everything was okay, which really made us feel super special! Leading up to our wedding day, he made sure that he knew exactly what we wanted. We really wanted to make sure that we not only got shots as the couple, but it was really important that we got the emotions and energy of our guests during our wedding weekend - our pictures were just that AND MORE! On our wedding day - OMG - Dwayne's eye for detail was unmatched!! He was so organized and knew exactly how to get the perfect shots! His creativity is incomparable! Not only did we get beautiful shots of us, but we got THE most artistic photographs.

As a couple that does not normally take many pictures, Dwayne was so organized and efficient that we were able to join our guests at cocktail hour and really enjoy our wedding! We were also so comfortable, at ease, and had so much fun during our photography session and we truly owe it all to Dwayne!! We recommend 1000000%!!!

BEST decision ever!

The best decision ever made was using Dwayne for photography. Dwayne captured every moment of the day into the night. Matthew and I felt so comfortable being around Dwayne . Without even knowing, he made jokes and conversation where he captured candid memorable moments. I wouldn’t have it any other way of using the best duo of Kimmi as my planner and Dwayne as my photographer !

DWP: The Ultimate Experience

Dwayne was first recommended to us by our amazing planner Kimmi. From my first interaction with Dwayne, it was apparent that he was fully invested in our story and understanding the vision for our wedding day. About a month prior, we hopped on a call with both Dwayne and Kimmi to discuss a timeline for the day. We were on the fence about doing a first look, but after discussing the pros with Dwayne, we decided to do it and man are we glad we listened to him!

Fast forward to the wedding day, Dwayne arrives on scene with his team (Lincoln and Cosmo). Immediately jumping into action, Dwayne checks in on me and then my husband, making sure that we would both be ready for him to take some getting ready/solo shots before our first look.

During our first look, he brought us to several different locations around our venue. He would be checking in with us constantly to make sure that we were ok and not too hot from the sun. What we loved most about Dwayne was his ability to capture the candidness of the day. There was very little posing that we had to do, he was more interested in capturing the excitement and love of the day, which is exactly what you want to be evident in wedding pictures.

By the end of the night, you would have thought we had known Dwayne all our life. He really feels like a part of our family and we cannot give enough praise.

A huge thank you to Dwayne for being the storyteller of our most cherished chapter. His photographs are not just images; they are a symphony of emotions, and we will forever be grateful for the masterpiece he’s created from our love story.

Stunning Photos

Dwayne knew our wedding venue like the back of his hand and he guided us around to stunning photo location after stunning photo location. He was patient and coached us and our wedding party into the best angles. He and his team then captured the reception beautifully. It was also really hot in Jamaica but somehow his photos hid the sweat.

Huge energy and professionalism

Dwayne and the team came with a big reputation as the pre-eminent team for quality wedding photos in Jamaica and did not disappoint. We organised our wedding from Australia and from the outset Dwayne was responsive and attentive to what we wanted from our day. He also had the experience and confidence to tell us what he didn't think would work when our expectations were a bit far-fetched, which in the end proved to be invaluable advice.

In the build up to the wedding and on the wedding day, Dwayne and the team brought huge energy to the event. They made the experience of taking photos fun and proved to be a great guiding hand at those times throughout our wedding day where we got caught up in the excitement of the moment. Their professionalism and passion for their craft was obvious to see and it was also clear that they genuinely cared about giving us an enjoyable photography experience. We're just glad we made the call to go with them!

Would highly recommend DWP and the crew.

High class team and photography/videography

Dwayne and his team were the absolute best, even better than I could have imagined for my wedding day. Prior to the day, we went over the schedule and shot list to make sure my needs were captured. On the wedding day, we had some delays with the grooms side and Dwayne flexed to ensure we captured all of the images within our timeline and adjusted as needed. Dwayne was an amazing director, incredibly clear in where we needed to be, how we should pose and carry ourselves in the shots. As a couple, we haven't taken many professional photos so we weren't sure what to do with ourselves but he made us feel comfortable and confident. The rest of Dwayne's team was incredibly professional as well and made sure to capture images of all of our guests and on the dance floor to capture those 'in the moment' images. The sneak peek photos were vast and stunningly edited. The investment to work with Dwayne and his team was worth every penny and I highly highly recommend his team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
