Great experience working with Dawn!

Dawn is everything you want in a photographer. She's extremely easy and pleasant to communicate with, and we were super confident in our plan with her as we approached our wedding day. One of the highlights of our day was the hour we spent just with Dawn, walking around the venue grounds and taking photos. We are thrilled with how our pictures came out. She was totally unobtrusive and made us feel so comfortable throughout the experience. We have been recommending her to all our friends, so if you're considering booking her, don't hesitate!

Very Thankful

I couldn’t be more thankful for finding Dawn. She helped me pull together a surprise engagement at the Asheville Botanical Gardens and it couldn’t have went better! Dawn was very easy to plan everything with. She had a ton of great recommendations and was flexible with everything that I envisioned. Most importantly, was able to recommended a great spot for my proposal and captured some great pics that my fiancée loves.

Great photographer! Must Hire

There is so much to say about Dawn, but the best way to really capture the essence of working with her, is to work with her! Dawn was fantastic.

Due to Covid, we had to reschedule our wedding and had to find a new photographer. A friend recommended working with Dawn and the rest was history. Dawn walked us through what the new schedule would look like, what photos we wanted, and understood how we wanted photos to look. We wanted a more natural, "candid" picture.

She was able to adapt to our individual needs. Even before the event, she was extremely helpful, welcoming and addressed our questions in a timely fashion. She also asked questions that helped her understand the unique situation she was asked to take photos for (small wedding, personal premise).

When it came to the wedding, Dawn was fantastic. She immediately started scouting for an additional photo spots to ensure she would get the best view point. This was no small feat, she walked a good distance to the tree line and into a small forest. She really wanted to maximize her working area. The photos of the prep time, ceremony, dancing and speeches captured the magic of the evening. Her photos really speak for her craft.

To close and probably the most important reason why we're giving Dawn a sparkling review (outside of the photos of course) is that she truly was a pleasure to work with before and during the event. The stress of changing and planning a wedding three times in a year was overwhelming. Dawn was able to fix one of our problems and became an asset to the team. Dawn was extremely wonderful to work with leading up to the event. At the event, Dawn fully integrated and felt like she was truly there as a guest of the wedding. Her personality fit in seamlessly with the atmosphere and jovial energy of the evening. This really stood out as the event was so small. She really added onto the day.

Wonderful Photographer & Experience

My husband and I had a micro wedding in March 2021, and had Dawn capture our day. Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful experience. Dawn is organized, professional, and is an incredibly sweet person. Everything went smoothly before the wedding from meeting Dawn virtually, to having questions answered, to discussing the plan for the wedding day. The wedding day was also a breeze, Dawn made taking pictures fun and natural, not only for my husband and I, but the entire group. You can tell she takes pride in her work, the quality of the pictures are fabulous, we could not ask for anything more! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to hire a wedding photographer.

Dream Wedding Photographer!

Dawn came highly recommended by a co-worker of mine and after seeing her work I knew we had to meet with her. We had met with one other photographer before meeting Dawn and still had two others lined up to explore. After our first encounter with, my husband and I knew immediately that we wanted her to photograph the most important day of our lives. In fact, walking from her studio to our car we had our minds made up and cancelled our meetings with the other two photographers.

Dawn has a natural way of making you feel at ease and comfortable which was so helpful during the chaos of everything else surrounding the planning of our big day. She had photographed many weddings at our venue and even though my husband and I were getting married in the city, we were clueless about any whereabouts to get the photos we dreamed of. Because of Dawn’s experience and amazing talent, we were confident in putting all our trust in her hands and letting her lead the way, and she did not disappoint!

While we were her clients, she treated us as if we were close friends and family. She shared so many helpful tips and information that I was able to use for my wedding planning and continued to help me avoid any stress, even for things not related to our photos.

Her communication and planning made everything so simple and kept me so calm and excited! She listened to everything we had shared and was able to capture and honor our day beautifully. Dawn and Sonce were like ninjas throughout the whole day making sure they did not miss any moments.

Words cannot even describe the joy and excitement we felt when we received our photos. My husband, our family, friends, and guests just loved working with Dawn and Sonce. They provided us with such wonderful memories that will last a lifetime! We are so grateful to have worked with Dawn and would highly recommend Dawn Roscoe Photography.

Dawn is great and easy to work with. I have see her work for many of my friends weddings as well as my own. Everyone I speak to is always very pleased with the final product. She is very kind and has a great eye. Thank you again for your wonderful services Dawn!

Photographer Perfection

Dawn was highly recommended to us from a friend because they worked with her as a photographer for their wedding and the bride’s sister’s wedding as well. We reached out to Dawn and met with her at her studio in Bridgeport. Steven and I continued to feel impressed by the quality of her photos, her interest in getting to know us as a couple, her communication and recommendations, and her vast experience photographing weddings throughout Chicago.
It didn’t take us long to realize that Dawn was the one we wanted to photograph our big day.

We decided to do an engagement photoshoot and we had the best time. I was originally very nervous but Dawn was so complementary and helped make us both feel more comfortable. She has a keen eye for different backdrops, colors, and creative lighting. She also helped coach us through new poses or how to get natural shots. We absolutely loved our photos and it made us so excited about working with Dawn on our wedding day.

Throughout the planning process, Dawn was so helpful and kept all lines of communication open. She chatted with us a few weeks before the wedding to talk out details and help us make important decisions. She offered an alternate rain plan, helped us schedule large family photos, and gave us some recommendations.

On our wedding day in August 2018, Dawn started with myself and the ladies at the Ambassador hotel while Sonce, the second photographer, started with the men at our apartment. We were all reunited for the first look and the photo fun kicked off. Seeing that our wedding was the same weekend as the Air & Water Show, there were additional traffic limitations but they helped create a backup plan when needed. They helped crank out all of our photos, they were a great team, and we all had great time along the way.

After receiving our photos, we are so pleased! We feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Dawn and would highly recommend her to any friends/ family.

Dawn Roscoe is amazing

I have been meaning to write this review for some time, and as we're approaching the one year anniversary of working with Dawn, I think the time is now! My husband and I hired Dawn for our 12/31/17 wedding, and it was one of the key decisions to our wedding's success! (You can find my previous review for her after our engagement session somewhere on this Yelp! page, too - it is also a very resounding endorsement.)

In short, I will tell you what I told her when she delivered our wedding photos: "I am so amazed. The angles, the lighting, the expressions you caught are incredible. I am so thrilled and humbled."

In long, Dawn is an expert professional who will take care of you emotionally and photographically for whatever big day you hire her. If she's available, hire her. Hire her right now. If you have to, change the date just so you can work with her.

From the first minute, Dawn's expertise came forward as we - on the first phone call interview - plotted out what our schedule would look like. She even referenced the sunset time, just so she could be sure her estimates were good ones. That amount of detail and care lasted throughout our process, and created for us a sense of ease on what can be a stressful day. She is everywhere, but unobtrusive; she is creative, yet asks for direction and input; she is careful, yet spontaneous. And she is so skilled. Whenever I get compliments on the wedding, the photos are always one of the top two things that people gawk over (we had a live band that rocked, that's hard to compete with...or else Dawn would be #1 every time). I hopefully will never have to plan another wedding, but if I do, Dawn will be the first call I make.

In our interactions with her post-wedding, she has continued to provide excellent information and service. I never felt pressured to purchase prints or books through her, and she has been consistently active and willing to help when I had questions. Very recently, she re-uploaded my entire gallery when my mother-in-law could not find that "perfect" image.
She addressed a need in very little time and, again, helped to assuage anxiety.

I highly recommend Dawn Roscoe Photography to any/everyone. And if you're still pondering after reading this (and all the other stellar) review, just call go look at her website or her FB page again. That is mastery right there.

Dawen and her team are the best! Leading up to the day, day of, post wedding... she’s amazing. People tell us we have some of the most beautiful wedding photos they’ve seen ??

We had a minor hiccup the day of the wedding. Our limo didn’t show up which was supposed to take us, Dawn and her team throughout the city for pre wedding pictures. Dawn and her team handled it like PROS. Calm, cool, collected. Dawn found shots around the hotel when we were Just trying to figure out what to do and the shots are some of our favorites. We actually hopped into an Uber XL mini van and just made it work!! They also had to handle a TON of our family pictures, and again, handled it amazingly. It was like herding cats.

In my opinion, the wedding photographer is perhaps the most important component of a wedding. There is so much time and energy poured into this one day that it would be silly not to document it well. Also, wedding planning sucks. It's exhausting. I hated it. So, spare yourself a ton of stress by hiring Dawn.

Dawn is very easy going, which is so refreshing. You don't want an anxious photographer raising your heart rate all day. But don't mistake her calm demeanor for indifference. She is dedicated to her craft, and will provide you the highest quality of pics, which is what's most important. I have some friends that skimped on the photography for their wedding in favor of spending more money elsewhere. Don't do that!! Do not hire some college student, or someone guaranteeing you great pics for $500, because you're going to get mediocre results. Maybe you won't regret it right away, but 5 or 10 years down the line when you're skimming through that wedding album...

Our reception was a tricky shoot. In the evening, when the sun was going down, and in a glass conservatory. If we went cheap, the lighting in the pics would have been terrible. But Dawn's a real pro, and she captured everything beautifully. We are completely thrilled with how our pictures turned out, and it's just icing on the cake that she was so fun, and easy to work with making our day a lot less stressful.

But rest assured if you happen to be a control freak. Dawn will meet/talk with you as often as it takes to ensure your satisfaction. She gave expert input on any suggestions we had, and offered some great ideas herself. She can even offer advice and/or suggestions on other aspects of your wedding like catering and location because she's seen and done it all.

I don't usually write reviews but I felt compelled to in this case. I highly, highly encourage all future bride and grooms to meet with Dawn! Once you interact with her, and see her portfolio you know you've made the right decision!

I fell in love with Dawn's beautifully candid photos when I was searching for a wedding photographer last year and she did not disappoint when she shot our wedding in October 2015!

Aside from her talent, Dawn and her team were the best to work with on our wedding day. They were extremely flexible (helped our niece and nephew join the group picture fun), organized (coordinated a mess of family photos :)) and personable (Aaron had the group super impressed by memorizing all of the bridal party's names in the first 10 minutes of being onsite)!

Dawn's photos captured the emotion and spirit of our day perfectly and we couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out. We have had so much trouble putting together a book because it is too hard to pick our favorites!

I would HIGHLY recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Dawn shot my wedding in August 2015 and as all of the other reviews mentioned, she was amazing to work with.

Going into planning a wedding is an overwhelming process and we knew right away that finding a great photographer was the most important thing on our list. I stumbled across Dawn on Yelp and the rest is history.

Dawn was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process and had invaluable advice that helped make our wedding pictures exactly what we had envisioned. Dawn's associate Aaron also shot our wedding day - he was great as well and had us laughing the whole time.

We were both so happy with how our photos have come out and I've already recommended Dawn to my newly engaged friends :)

Dawn was such a pleasure to work with! She took our engagement pictures as well as our wedding photos. I had a very specific style of photos I wanted and she took her time to make them come alive! She was so patient & helpful. We were rushing on our wedding day and had a few issues with weather but she was such a fast thinker she still made it all happen! Her pictures are so stunning and speak for themselves. Dawn and her partner really take their time to capture them. I have gotten so many compliments on them! I would highly recommend her!

I don't even know where to start with my compliments of Dawn. She is so professional, while being flexible and approachable at the same time. She was willing to give me feedback on potential shoot locations, while understanding the feel that I was looking for with our pictures. I cannot recommend her enough, she is just a lovely person inside and out and that comes through her lens. I'm so excited to get our pictures back because I know that I could have been wearing a potato sack and sat in a basement and Dawns pictures would have been gorgeous!

My husband I had hired Dawn for our engagement photos and wedding photos. If you have any reservations about hiring her, forget them all! She is very easy to communicate with and makes you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She had awesome location suggestions for engagement sessions. We ended up going to the Gardens at the Art Institute, and we were very happy with how they came out! Very candid and captured the love between my then fiancé and me. We were hesitant about the engagement session, because we didn't want them to look too staged. However, we are so happy we decided to do them! We got to know Dawn, and Dawn got to know us. Also, the pictures are so adorable! Not cheesy! Now comes the most awesome part! Our wedding was on February 14, 2015. Coldest Valentine's Day in decades in Chicago! She was a trooper and also convinced us to do outdoor pictures (after extensive researching by Dawn and myself for indoor locations), and we are so happy with that decision! Her assistant, Aaron, was also a super star! Getting on his knees in the snow...and ice when my husband decided he wanted to play a little ice hockey! Also, right before our "first look" my husband broke his button on his suit jacket. In a normal situation, this would just have to do for the rest of the day.. ceremony and all! However, Aaron had his own sewing kit and fixed it before the outdoor pictures. Needless to say, we were impressed. We ended up needing an extra hour of their service at the reception, but Dawn and Aaron were nothing but happy to stay for us. Highly recommend Dawn.. and if you can, please do get an extra photographer, because it gives you a lot more variety in the end. Especially if guys and girls are getting ready separately. It would not have been the same if we didn't capture my husband and all his buddies getting ready too. Also, if you are given the option of a flash drive or a digital file, go with the flash drive! You will be pleasantly surprised! ;)

Dawn and her assistant did an amazing job with our wedding photos! She helped guide me and my now husband to the exact style of wedding photos we were looking for. We were having trouble coming up with the couple shot locations that would work with our timeline and Dawn had some creative ideas and locations that really made our photos stand out from the typical wedding shots, all working within our time frame.

Dawn was very familiar with our venue, made me feel at ease throughout the day/evening, fun to be around, and we got some amazing photos in the end! We couldn't have been happier with our decision!

Dawn was our wedding photographer, and she also did our engagement shoot. We had met with two other photographers, who were great in their own right, but we immediately "clicked" with Dawn. Her personality put us completely at ease, and her photography style was exactly what we had in mind.

Initially I didn't even want to do an engagement photo session. I'm not at all photogenic (believe me, that's not false modesty, but a fact) and I'm not very comfortable posing and having my picture taken. My then-fiance convinced me that having an engagement shoot would be good practice for taking the wedding photos, and would give us an opportunity for Dawn to get to know us better and vice versa, thereby resulting in better photos. As usual, he was 100% correct.

We wanted our engagement photos to not be too "staged," so we chose to shoot around our neighborhood, where's there's unusual backdrops and lots of natural settings. At best, I was hoping for a few photos that I could "live with," but they all turned out beautiful. I was blown away.

Fast forward to our wedding, and again, Dawn nailed it. The pictures captured all the fun and emotion of a most memorable day. We'll cherish these photos for the rest of our lives.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer, I can't recommend Dawn highly enough.

I worked with Dawn for my wedding in August of 2014. She was the first (and only!) photographer I met with, and one of the first vendors I booked after getting in engaged. Not only were Dawn's photos beautiful (which was the main reason I wanted to meet with her), but her warm personality and passion for photography was very evident when I met with her.

Many people told me, "you have to really love your photographer, because they are with you ALL day and truly dictate the flow of the day". This is incredibly true - and Dawn is the exact kind of person you want to spend one of the most special days of your life with. She is incredibly creative and has a such a great eye for unique locations...she is up for any kind of adventure you and your significant other are looking for, and if you don't know exactly what you want (which was definitely me at the beginning!), she offers tons of different ideas and tips to think about while you are planning your location shots.

Also, Dawn always has another photographer with her (verses an assistant) - so you are getting two extremely qualified photographers to capture your day. Our second photographer was Aaron Ehinger and he was equally amazing and a true additional asset to the day.

I would highly recommend Dawn - she is artistic, passionate, and truly wonderful to work with.

I hired Dawn as my photographer for both engagement and wedding pictures. I interviewed quite a few photographers, as these pictures were one of the most important aspects for my wedding. I ultimately decided on Dawn based on her professional, friendliness, easy-going personality, and level of skill. She is extremely down to earth and I loved working with her doing both occasions. She had a ton of ideas for pictures, but also let us do our own thing and create our own backdrops. I was a little worried that I would have the cheesy, cookie-cutter images that seem to be everywhere but I found that Dawn's pictures were very original. I definitely recommend her for any photography needs and would love to work with her again for another occasion.

Dawn and her assistant absolutely exceeded our expectations as our wedding and engagement session photographers. Dawn was such a good listener throughout the process and was able to capture beautiful images that fit our vision while incorporating her creativity.

My dad is a very serious amateur/semi-professional photographer for many years and helped us in selecting a photographer for our big day. Dawn’s talent sincerely impressed him, both artistically and technically. She was the only photographer we met with he felt comfortable putting all his trust in to capture our wedding day. And she delivered to his expectations as well as ours.

In addition to being an extremely talented photographer Dawn was 100% reliable with appointments, business matters, and communication. If that weren’t enough, she was really nice and easy going, but still careful and thoughtful enough so that she did not add any stress to wedding day but it was easy to trust she was getting done exactly what she needed to get done. She and her assistant were easy to be around and work with, they were in the background unnoticed when that was appropriate and gave direction when needed without making my husband and I feel awkward or forced.

Most important, the end product was everything and more promised and expected. We have countless beautiful, creative, emotional, real, personality and atmosphere capturing pictures that we will treasure forever. We feel really lucky to have found her!

Amazing memories that will last a lifetime! Dawn and her team did a beautiful job with both our engagement & wedding photos. She has a unique ability to capture emotion but also the beauty surrounding moments in both nature & city-scape. We have received so many compliments: "Your wedding photos are the best I've ever seen" and we were thrilled when our prints were framed and hung.

Dawn was great in researching areas for shoots and her creativity pushes the envelope. She stood in the middle of a busy Chicago street to get just the right angle for a shot on the Nichols bridge at the art institute. Her attention to detail was on point, from my jewelry down to the napkins at our bar. She turned the simplistic surroundings of the Modern Wing at the Art Institute, into a blank canvas. Her ability to play with open space was great and we were able to get a perfect mix of serious, romantic, and playful shots. Thank you to her and the team for a wonderful wedding that will never be forgotten!

Picture Perfect. Dawn did an amazing job capturing our special day. My husband and I had our engagement session with Dawn and our wedding day. Dawn is extremely professional and a perfectionist. We began this process by sitting down and discussing our styles, likes/dislikes, and who we are with Dawn. From there, we worked with her to decide where we wanted to do our engagement session. We wanted a fun, urban feel…Dawn helped us find some really neat spots in the Brideport neighborhood, where we took some fun shots outside of the ballpark. She also led us to some cool, industrial spots that would later turn into some awesome shots! Leading up to our wedding, we had to decide where we wanted our photos to be taken with the wedding party. We had no clue. So, Dawn suggested the garden at the Art Institute. We trusted her, so we quickly agreed, happy we had one less thing to think about. These pictures turned out great! We took some serious, traditional poses and then mixed it up with some fun, silly poses which allowed our wedding party to kick back and be themselves. On the way to the reception, our limo stopped at a bridge. Dawn captured the most amazing pictures of us on the bridge. It screams city wedding. These have turned into some of our favorite pictures from our wedding day. From the preparation shots, to the cake shots, to the ceremony shots, to the intricate detail shots, Dawn captured it all. She has a fabulous eye for what looks great. If I ever need professional pictures again, I would definitely call Dawn. She is nothing short of spectacular.

Dawn was an excellent wedding photographer - we have already recommended her to friends who have weddings coming up this year. She was very easy to work with, especially because we had a large wedding party, and also a big wedding with both of our very large families. Dawn was great about keeping the photos moving along, both when we were getting ready, and then throughout the day. We really needed someone to keep our group directed, and Dawn took care of that. Plus, the photos turned out absolutely beautifully - we have so many great photos to choose from, ranging from more traditional family portraits, to some great outdoor shots of just the two of us, to really fun, hilarious photos from the dance floor. Strangely, I don't really remember seeing Dawn during the reception, but she still managed to take so many photos of our guests, it was like she was everywhere all at once. Wedding photography is very expensive as we all know - I found that Dawn's prices fell in the mid-range of photographers that we were considering, but the quality of the prints (and the quality of working with Dawn) were at the very high end of the spectrum.

I originally found Dawn E. Roscoe through online searches and saw she had a lot of positive reviews. My husband and I went to meet her in person and I knew right away she was the perfect fit to shoot our wedding. She made us feel super comfortable and asked all the right questions, not to mention all the samples I had seen blew me away. She has such an eye and really pushes the shot so they don't come out like any ordinary photo. We hadn't planned to do an engagement shoot but it was part of our package. Man, am I glad we did. Not only are they some of the coolest shots I've ever seen, it gave us even more confidence that she was going to do a fabulous job at the wedding. We just received our photos and couldn't be any happier with them. They are unique and really capture the weekend. Dawn is so easy to work with and does a great job of communicating to ensure you get the photos you want. I have passed on her info to a bunch of my friends and family who were also very impressed. You can't go wrong with Dawn!

Dawn is wonderful in so many ways! She is such a joy to work with and her work is stunning. From the first time we met Dawn we knew we wanted to work with her as our wedding photographer because we loved her portfolio, she was responsive, and it was clear that we could trust her guidance and recommendations. Dawn exceeded our expectations throughout the entire process! She was thorough in the preparation while also making it very easy on us, and she gave perfect recommendations on where to take pictures based on our personalities. On the wedding day, she was instrumental in keeping us calm and comfortable; she was patient, flexible, and unobtrusive, and she captured our day beautifully! We are so grateful for Dawn!

My first regret with this review is not writing it earlier! Dawn and her colleague Tori shot photos for our wedding and they were spectacular! First we did an engagement photo shoot that my husband was not exactly looking forward to. However, we both had a BLAST! We laughed the entire time and we attribute that to Dawn making us feel so comfortable. On our wedding day, Dawn shot the girls and Tori shot the guys at their hotel. They were both amazing! Dawn is so easy going, fun, and incredibly professional. She gives you direction when you need but then after looking at our final pictures, seemed to really blend into the background b/c there were great shots taken when I didn’t even notice that she was around. They had great recommendations on where to take pictures during the winter months when outdoor lighting is limited. We were married in December and to be honest, at the time of our engagement it didn’t occur to me that winter would have little to no sun in the afternoon/early evening time frame. Dawn reassured me that this wouldn’t be a problem. At one point, I just surrendered to the fact as there was nothing I could do but hope for the best. Our final pictures arrived and I was very anxious yet nervous to see them. OUR PICTURES ARE AMAZING! Dawn and her team are creative, professional and very artistic. Our friends have commented on the style of her photos and everyone has sent compliments. Her personality is wonderful and she is by far the best photographer I’ve ever used for anything. Her style is what makes her so amazing. She has a knack for balancing professional traditional wedding photography while adding a creative edge. I’m so thankful we chose Dawn. I would recommend her again and again! Thanks again-

Dawn was the photographer for our Fall Wedding. We loved every photo Dawn took. Dawn is a very skill photographer who has an unique eye to capture those special moments. She has great patience (we had a very large bridal party!), a welcome calmness (for a stressful wedding day!) and just skilled photographer (who captured all the *special* moments!) We looked at the photos (which were delivered in a very timely fashion!) and just fell in love with them! We couldn't be happier with her work! Would highly recommend for any wedding!

Dawn was very professional, quick to respond, and a great listener since I first contacted her for to take photos for my wedding. I was attracted to her initially from her website, which I think can measure the quality of a photographer. Since I live out of state, I didn't have time to interview a lot of photographers. I contacted a few, and I liked Dawn's demeanor the best. She wasn't pushy about anything. Dawn was also extremely detail-oriented and organized. I couldn't be happier with my photos as she was able to capture everything I wanted. I would highly recommend to her anyone. She can do all styles from the standard (and beautiful) wedding photos to styles beyond. She is very creative and her assistant, Tori, was also a joy! They have great personalities and totally put you at ease.

Dawn and her team did a fantastic job photographing our wedding this past October!

I was already familiar with her exceptional work, as she shot several of my friends weddings. So when it came time to plan my own, we hired her immediately!

Dawn is a true artist and her photos make a statement, yet in a subtle way that everyone can appreciate. She spends a great deal of time researching locations and is very efficient with the precious shooting time you have on your special day.

Another great thing about Dawn is her versatility as a photographer. She can make your wedding day photography as fun and spontaneous or mellow and romantic as you would like. We love our friend's weddings pics, but ours is so uniquely "us" which we love.

We especially treasure the photos leading up to our ceremony. Getting ready, our first look, there's nothing like capturing those moments of anticipation and Dawn has such a talent for telling a story through the lens.

We were so proud to show our wedding pictures to our friends and family. Everyone commented that they were some of the best wedding photos they had ever seen.

Thank you Dawn for turning our special day into a picture taking adventure and putting so much thought, care and professionalism into our photography. We will be eternally grateful.

Terese and Eric

Dawn photographed our wedding in June this year and we couldn’t be happier!

In looking for a wedding photographer, we found Dawn and fell in love with her work because she has an eye for artistic, natural photography that really captures the essence and emotion of the moment.

Just as important as the photography is Dawn’s personality and her work ethic. She is fun, spontaneous, organized and extremely accommodating which made the whole process comfortable and stress-free.

And as for the photos…words can’t describe how beautiful they are! She captured our vision perfectly and caught details of the wedding I didn't even notice. We visited just a few locations but Dawn was able to photograph us in a way that made it seem like we drove all over town to dozens of spots! It’s been awesome having so many gorgeous options to choose from.

We’ve gotten tons of compliments on our wedding photos and they even made Style Me Pretty!

Without any hesitation, we highly recommend Dawn! She is the best.

Dawn and her team photographed my wedding in July and I could not be happier with the photos! Dawn is professional, knows her craft, and truly wants to get you photos that you will love. She has an outstanding eye and sense of style which result in beautifully shot photos with amazing color.

I had a chance to see Dawn in action at my sister-in-law's wedding the year before I got married. The photos turned out amazing, so when I got engaged I knew who to book with for great photos.

When shooting, Dawn is low-key and gets the shots you'll love without being disruptive or drawing attention away from the ceremony or reception. She was really willing to work with us on our wedding day time line, which was tight, to make sure we got the location shots we wanted while leaving plenty of time to relax and celebrate the day.

Dawn has a knack for getting quirky shots that make your wedding photos unique from others - the quick wink, the great airborne dance move, the wind sweeping a veil - her work really stands out. My husband and I absolutely love our photos and so do our family and friends. I can't recommend Dawn highly enough!

Dawn was an absolute dream to work with. When I was searching for the perfect wedding photographer, I wanted to find someone who had an artistic eye but could still take the photos that would make my parents happy. I was smitten after I visited her website and saw dreamy photos and engagement sessions that took place near graffiti/ mural walls – this is my kind of photographer!

My favorite part about the whole process was spending time with my husband—he was a natural in front of the camera. I needed a little more direction, which ended up being a non-issue. Before the wedding we worked with Dawn for our engagement photos and I was happy that she was generous with posing ideas and gentle direction. The engagement photos were exactly what I envisioned and it got me excited about our upcoming wedding!

Prior to the wedding, my husband and I met Dawn to discuss what kind of photos we wanted and she was diligent about taking notes and really listening to what WE wanted. In the end she did a wonderful job documenting all of the details and big moments of our wedding. We got a wonderful variety of pre-wedding couple photos, our reveal, the ceremony, reception, first kiss, first dance, detail shots and group family shots. I absolutely love everything about my wedding photos – they will be the things that I look back on for years. Dawn and her assistant were very professional. They showed up on time and were very patient with multiple photo requests from my large family. I would HIGHLY recommend Dawn for your wedding or engagement photos.

Dawn was great to work with. Her work speaks for itself: modern, beautiful, artful - and she personalizes it based on the couple. Dawn took the time to get to know us and came up with great ideas on how to best capture our special day. I am a designer and a photo hobbyist on the side and never had any doubt about Dawn's skill or capabilities. I was 100% comfortable that she would capture all of the details and we are pleased to now have those memories for a lifetime.

Dawn was hands down the best vendor we had the pleasure to work with. From the first meeting to the last, she was incredibly friendly, organized, professional and simply brilliant with everything she handled for us. I'm fairly awkward in front of the camera, but it was pretty clear after our engagement shoot that I was going to be fine - Dawn takes her photographs in the most natural, unobtrusive way, and its pretty easy to forget you even have a camera pointed at you. Dawn's promptness with correspondence was a big plus for me - I got an immediate and friendly response to every single email I sent her. And at the end of the day, the quality of the pictures just took our breath away. She did exactly as we had asked - capturing those fleeting moments we will now be able to remember forever.

Dawn E. Roscoe photography is amazing! Dawn Roscoe is creative, patient and extremely talented. My husband and I had so much fun working with her on our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Having photos that are unique and artistic was very important to us and Dawn delivered. Thanks to Dawn and her wonderful partner photographer Torie, we now have our special moments captured in beautiful, stunning photographs to look at and cherish for a lifetime!

We worked with Dawn for our wedding in September of 2011 and couldn't be happier. From the minute we met with Dawn, she was professional and went out of her way to understand the type of wedding we were having as well as our expectations and ideas for photography. We had a blast at our engagement session and received many compliments on the unique places/ideas the pictures showed. On our wedding day, Dawn and her assistant blended right into the day and helped with everything from organizing family for group photos to providing direction advice to the bus driver on our location shots to assure we had enough time to get in everything we wanted to. I can't speak highly enough to the photos she took. She captured every important moment from the day, including some incredible shots of details, of my husband and I, and of the real interactions between friends and family that were happening throughout the day that he and I weren't able to witness ourselves. Every photo that was taken was unique and different from anything I've seen and again, we've received a ton of compliments from friends and family on Dawn's work.

One of Dawn's biggest strengths is her attitude and ability to make everyone involved in the wedding feel comfortable. I have to say, both my husband and I are not huge picture takers and usually feel we look "awkward" in most photos. Dawn made us feel incredibly comfortable and I think it shows in our photos, it's one of the first times we are both happy with how we look because we look like ourselves!

I would highly recommend working with Dawn and I personally hope to work with her again or recommend her to my friends/family for their future needs. If I had to pick one difficulty from the entire process, I would say our only trouble now is deciding which of the gorgeous pictures of the day to print and make into our wedding album! :)

Dawn Roscoe was so amazing to work with! Her work is really incredible and you definitely get excellent quality pictures of your wedding day from her! We definitely had some specific requirements- like taking LOTS of family portrait combinations during cocktail hour and she complied and rocked it! Her planning and professionalism, I would say, is one of the highest in the industry. Her aesthetic and attention to detail is seriously incredible. I have so much respect for her as a photographer, and we became friends through the process!

I had the privilege of working with Dawn and two assistants on my wedding day. I couldn't have been happier with the quality of photos and the experience I had with her team. Dawn did such a great job of capturing the excitement of the day. Furthermore, she caught every last detail on film, which was so important to me (I was in a cloud most of the day and missed so many of the details).

I would enthusiastically recommend Dawn to all brides looking to tell a story about their wedding day and need to marry the art of photography with their mom's ideas of out-dated portraits.

Hands-down - the best!

She is super easy to work with, very punctual, responsive, makes you feel at ease with the camera, and many times you don't even notice her, yet she manages to capture the most magical shots. He second shooter was Kelly, and is the sweetest, always smiling and winking:)
He work is magical, artistic, different, you would want to look through your memories over and over again! Feel at absolute ease when you hire Dawn as you photographer!

I am completely floored with our wedding pictures and have not been able to stop looking at them for the two days since I got the proofs. When it came to looking for a photographer I searched high and low and interviewed several people. I was looking for someone with an editorial eye, who could do edgy, gritty shots, but also could do traditional photography. I found Dawn through various searches and knew instantly when I looked at her website that I wanted her for our wedding.

In our first meeting I confirmed she was the one. Her work is amazing and she is so personable. We talked through the details about what was important to me, back up plan if it rained (which it did!) and details about the flow of the day. Dawn is super responsive to questions and concerns. My now husband is not too keen on photography and "staged" photos and Dawn was incredible with making it feel natural and fun so he didn't even question what was going on.

I had a final meeting with her about a week before the wedding to finalize everything and sure enough, it all went exactly as planned. On the day of, Dawn and her awesome second shooter Kelly were extremely prompt and efficient. They made sure all bases were covered. They took amazing shots of the preparation with us, were never in the way and just seemed like part of the group and the day.

Our limo driver had no clue where to go for location shots and Dawn was great at directing him to the locations for shooting.

The day goes so fast you never know what to expect when you get a finished product, but all I can say is the photos brought tears to my eyes and made me relive the day all over again. Dawn has an impeccable eye, she's fantastic with editing and she captured every major and not so major moment perfectly. Yes, photographers do not come cheap, but her work is worth every single penny.

I'm so looking forward to our after wedding shoot and seeing even more incredible pictures.

I am a lover of all things photographic. True story. When it came time to plan our wedding, I knew that this particular vendor was one that I would fret over.

And fret I did. Until I met Dawn. Her easygoing manner and passion for portraying emotion on film made me like her instantly. After our first meeting, I was sure that her portfolio jived with the photographic vision I had for our wedding. (Some people are all sorts of concerned about centerpieces and the like? I couldn't care less about that. I had a photographic vision.)

My request: uniquely urban photographs. I had seen one too many "dips" in the middle of LaSalle Street to want that for my collection. While that photograph can be undeniably beautiful, I tend to be a little...different...and I wanted our wedding photographs to reflect that.

We chose Chinatown for the scene of our engagement photos. The architecture, the vibrant colors, and the urban feel lent for a beautiful backdrop for us to have photographs for wedding-related purposes. More than that, we became comfortable with Dawn. She shoots in a very natural way, minimal posing, and captures the raw emotions that just aren't there in overly staged and posed photographs. We loved our engagement photos instantly and knew we would be in for a treat for our wedding photographs.

As the time before our wedding grew nearer, Dawn worked with me closely to set up locations for our photographs before the ceremony. Since we had limited time between the ceremony and the reception, we decided to have a first look photographed. Dawn really listened carefully to my expectations and wants for my photographs. She scouted out locations that I suggested and found even more that exceeded my expectations.

Day of the wedding? She arrived on time. Her awesomely nice assistant Kelly arrived on time. She watched the clock closely so that we would make it to our destination in a timely fashion. She was professional, courteous and...let's face it, the important part: she (and Kelly!) took amazing photographs. She (and Kelly!) captured our emotions on our wedding day beautifully, and I couldn't be happier.

I am thrilled with my wedding photos. Dawn is the best.

Dawn is an absolutely wonderful wedding photographer! We chose her for her artistic and photojournalistic style, as well as for her ability to capture the beauty of natural surroundings (we love the outdoors and wanted our pictures to reflect that). My husband and I are thrilled with every single picture and can’t believe how natural each picture looks. We don’t really consider ourselves photogenic people, but miraculously Dawn made us look it. We received so many compliments after sharing the pictures with family and friends. Some even went as far as to say our pictures were the best wedding photos they have ever seen! If you are looking for a photographer who does more than just the standard posed wedding shots, Dawn is for you. She captured all the wonderful moments of our wedding day and we will treasure the pictures forever. I would recommend Dawn to anyone!

Dawn did a fabulous job shooting our wedding day! She really captured the moment in every picture. I loved that she just took the photos without us having to pose much, which made for more natural looking photos. No cheesy thumbs up pictures or awkward prom poses! We absolutely love every single photo from Dawn!

After we contracted with Dawn to photograph our wedding, I'm sure she just cringed when she found out that her new client was a meeting & event planner. Type A, overly obsessed with the smallest of details, scheduled and demanding. How lucky for her! Without a moment's hesitation, I would wholeheartedly recommend Dawn to any soon to be bride & groom. She is responsive, dependable, talented, flexible and great fun on top of it all. She takes her business seriously and pays attention to all of the details you provide, so if you are able to articulate your needs & wants, she'll move mountains to get those shots for you. She's also a realist as well - if she thinks there's a chance you may not be able to get what you want or that something may not flow as smoothly as you want, she will manage your expectations. We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos and everyone raved about them. Dawn is a sure bet if you appreciate creative and interesting shots, especially if you prefer candids and an artistic eye!

Dawn was great, we were fortunate to book her after our previous photographer bailed on us. Her photographs captured our day with a unique and modern perspective. She was very professional and very thoughtful - never intruding but able to get the shot. She got a great amount of photos at the reception, documenting our family and friends enjoying the day. She was flexible following us from salon to home to church to "party bus" to the hotel reception. Overall, she did a great job!

After looking at Dawn's online wedding portfolio I knew my search for a wedding photographer had finally ended. I was immediately drawn to her style of pictures...so unique and REAL! During my wedding day, it was so nice to not have to worry about all the pictures I wanted...who, where, etc. Dawn knew my "picture plan" before the wedding. She exceeded my expectations with her professional flair. What is most amazing about Dawn is how she captures a moment without you even knowing she was a part of it.

We got so lucky picking Dawn as our photographer! She was very professional, responsive, and flexible. During my wedding, her laid back attitude calmed me down before I walked down the aisle! And most importantly, I am SO happy with the results! The pictures look great, just the style I was looking for, and I was able to get the CD with the pictures which was key.

Thanks so much Dawn, you are very talented and I wish you all the best!

Stop right there! This is the only review you need to read before booking a photographer in the Chicagoland area. Dawn Roscoe is probably the ideal photographer for any couple that is looking to really ENJOY their wedding day; present and future. She has a certain knack for truly understanding you as a couple; much more than you could ever convey in words. This knack extends to guests as well. Dawn loves what she does and it shows, and what she does is much more than 'take pictures'. She's artistic, amusing, charismatic, engaging, and intelligent. She is the catalyst that makes an ordinary wedding epic. Her vision and professionalism stood out among all others. She can 'read' a group and environment and conceptualize the best shots in the blink of an eye. All this without ever making anyone feel uneasy or left out, and certainly never against any impromptu goofing around. Guests commented on how friendly and fun she was and that it just seemed like she belonged there. I could go on and on about how easy it was to work with Dawn, her incredible responsiveness and inconceivable flexibility. For our wedding, she had an assistant that was marvelous as well (Steve Koo), and they made a great team. She is well respected and it is easy to see why. There is no doubt that hiring Dawn was money well spent. When it's all said and done, I would recommend checking Dawn's availability prior to even choosing a wedding date. That's how important she was to our wedding and we couldn't have been happier.

Dawn was AMAZING. Both my husband and I are very shy, and we were worried about how awkward being the focus of the day, let alone being in front of a camera for most of the day. But Dawn made the experience so much fun. She put us both at ease, and we got such gorgeous pictures. We've been getting so many compliments, especially from the bridal party, who've never had so much fun taking pictures.

Dawn was super easy to get along with, always good with answering any questions we had. As another review said, Dawn picked some ok looking spots which in turned looked spectacular in the photos. She truly has an eye for capturing the beauty in anything and everything. We definitely got our money's worth and more.

Dawn was fantastic! We found her by chance and, since we don't live in Chicago, just hoped everything would work out. I am so thrilled that we chose Dawn!!! Our photos are somewhere between artsy and traditional (not too much one way or the other)--which is what I told Dawn I was hoping to have. And you can really tell after looking at the photos what a great eye she has! There were some spots that she suggested for photos that I thought would be fine, but nothing exceptional, until I saw how great they looked in the photos! And--Dawn was actually one of the least expensive options we considered! She was definitely--by far--the best decision we made vendor-wise and she was absolutely the greatest value!!!

Dawn did a fantastic job photographing our wedding and reception. She was both patient and creative, which is a real plus for a middle aged couple in a second marriage situation. She has an eye for catching and capturing the moment and the spirit of the day.

Her fee was reasonable and the selection of photographs was beyond our expectations. Over the years, we have been to many weddings and seen many wedding portfolios. None were as impressive as we received from her.

We thank you for her help. She made a special day even better to remember.

Awesome Photographer!

Dawn did an amazing job with our wedding. She helped to plan the day of timeline and took every picture we wanted. Dawn's service after the wedding was also incredible. She was also quick to respond and delivered our photos in a timely manner. My family and I also worked with her to get wedding albums and pictures and were very pleased with the outcome. Thank you Dawn for being part of our special day and for the amazing keepsakes!

My husband and I were thrilled that we found Dawn, she is such a pleasure to work with. She made the whole experience from the first email to our engagement pictures to our wedding to the day we got our pictures back, so easy. She was a breath of fresh air in the chaos that is planning a wedding.

We are very happy with both our engagement pictures and our wedding photos. Everyone has just gushed over them since the day we got them. Dawn is the whole package professional, timely, flexiable, fun, and most importantly talented.

Dawn is amazing! She's truly gifted and selected some wonderful spots for our photos. In planning the wedding, finding a photographer was the one thing that really stressed me out. But, after we met with Dawn - I felt at ease. We just wanted someone we 'clicked with' to be with us on our wedding day. So many other photographers were just not meshing with our personalities and I felt like they would add to the stress of the wedding day. Dawn is very responsive and professional, yet relaxed on the day and helps you to feel at ease. Even better, our photos are amazing - she is very talented. Check her out for yourself and you'll be convinced.
