    Dawn Gardner with DG Photography is incredible.

    She arrived early and well-prepared. She was flexible and excellent at providing clear instructions for the entire bridal party. She was the utmost in professionalism and catered to any requests that my family, my husband, or myself had. She was able to release a preview of our wedding photographs within 24 hours of the big day. Her turn around time was awesome! I'd recommend DG Photography to anyone that wants a heartfelt, carefree experience with a true professional!

    Dawn and her team were absolutely amazing! We love our photos and had a great time taking them. Dawn did our engagement shoot which lets us get really comfortable with her and learn how to follow her guidance. I also did a boudoir shoot with her to give the photos to my husband as a wedding gift. He loved them! Dawn's work is simply superb!

    I have shot with Dawn a few times now and she is not only an amazing photographer, but she is truthful and sincere. I recommend that if you want amazing quality and a memorable experience, then DG Photography is the way to go! With an incredible location and state of the art equipment, you'll be sure to get impeccable shots by Dawn!

    In short - Book Dawn without hesitation!!!

    I first witnessed Dawn in action as a bridesmaid in a 2015 wedding. I noted her personable and professional nature, and admired the beautiful pictures of my friend's big event. I took note for the future.
    Dawn did our engagement and our September 2016 wedding photos. She was a joy to be around, even my camera-shy groom felt comfortable around her. I felt like Dawn truly listened to me and captured the essence of our big day. She had creative ideas for us to try but also made sure to capture the photos that we wanted (a delicate balance!). The pictures are beyond what I could have hoped for, and we received them quickly. Dawn was quick to respond to all questions and concerns, and was flexible and easy to work with.
    I recommend DG Photography to all my friends and hope to book Dawn for non-wedding sessions in the future. THANK YOU DAWN!!! We will forever treasure our photos.

    Dawn and Mike make and amazing team and it shows in the beauty of their work. They shot my outside wedding, in August. It was hot! But you'd never guess it by our photos lol! The photos are stunning! They have an eye for capturing all the little details too. They went above and beyond for us. Capturing those little intimate moments throught the whole day, not just during the wedding. These photos are by far my most valuable treasure now.

    Thank you Dawn and Mike My husband and i discussed after the wedding that having DG Photography as our photographer was one of our best wedding decisions! Not only did our pictures turn out beautifully - but Dawn was incredibly easy to work with from beginning to end. She took photos of all my personal details and even made a separate folder just for that.
    If you are looking for a photographer to capture the true essence and feeling of your wedding day, then look no further. We cannot rate Dawn and Mike and their wonderful crew any higher; Dawn was an unbelievable photographer. From the moment we met for our gorgeous engagement shoot she and her husband made us feel relaxed and natural. She even took tons of photos of my daughters during our engagement shoot.
    – we got married on very hot weather-July! thank god we had picked DG Photography to capture the day as the quality and number of special moments captured were outstanding. I definitely am recommending Dawn and Mike.

    xoxo, Anne & John

    Dawn and her husband were terrific. My wife Katie and I highly recommend them. They were great to work with and captured all aspects from our wedding. They were very easy to work with and accommodated all of our requests. They were very personable and had some great ideas that we had not thought of. Once again - we highly recommend DG Photography!

    Dawn and Mike were amazing, they were great to work with and we are extremely pleased with our wedding and engagement photos! We were looking for 2 photographers that would be with us for the entire day of our wedding and Dawn and Mike went above and beyond our expectations. We were able to get all of the shots that we had requested and they captured the day amazingly. They were very flexible when it started raining for our pre-wedding pictures and the ceremony was moved inside. Dawn was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend using them for your wedding!

    Dawn and Mike provided us with photography services for our wedding. Dawn always responded quickly to our emails and was extremely easy to work with. She showed up early on our wedding day (9 am) to make sure she captured all of our special moments throughout the day. She provided us with a sneak peak of our wedding pictures within 24 hours of our wedding! Our pictures looked fantastic! We would definitely recommend DG Photography to others.

    Wow.....Can't say enough about Dawn and Mike. They are a dynamic husband and wife team that completely blew us away. Their work is phenomenal and wouldn't you want that for one of the biggest days of your life?!?!?!!? Yes, please. Dawn was so kind when we met her way back in the early planning process and she made us feel so at ease. We loved that it was a husband and wife team doing what they love to do....together. We are so thankful for the professionalism, talent and kindness of both of them and would hands down recommend them to ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again!!!!!!

    My husband, Justin and I couldn't have picked a better match to capture our day :)
    We are so glad Dawn, her husband and her assistants were with us along this journey! From engagement photos, boudoir session, and wedding day we had an amazing experience. Dawn was very efficient, flexible, mind-blowing with the photos and ideas she captured. Dawn was very good with keeping in contact with you and throwing out ideas she thought you might like based on your theme. I think I might have turned her into a Pinterest Queen :) She was willing to work with you in everyway to make your day memorable. Dawn and Mike went out on a limb!
    Dawn climbed on top of ladder to capture a heart shaped photo of our bridal party! I hope to work with both of them in the near future with my girlfriends that are next in line! :)

    I can not thank Dawn enough for capturing our big day. My husband met and picked her before I was able to meet her. When I met her at a bridal expo a few weeks later she gave me a big hug and was so personable I knew we had made the right decision. We had a blast on our engagement shoot. And Dawn even was able to shoot our rehearsal dinner after a friend was unable to do so. She felt a part of our family throughout all the events and activities during the day. Her photos were stunning and my parents still say they look at them and find another photo they fall in love with every time. The pictures of my nephews are unbelievable and she was able to capture all the special moments of the day (and there were a ton as my husband and I had both had plans to surprise each other!). I can not wait for other big moments in our life for Dawn to photograph!

    Dawn Gardner and her team did an outstanding job capturing our engagement and wedding photos. Dawn is professional, responsive, patient, timely and has an artistic eye for capturing the moment. She helped me to get comfortable taking pictures during the engagement session. On our wedding day, she came to my home for the first time and captured everything that I needed without me saying a word. Our wedding pictures are amazing!
    Brides, reduce your stress level by booking Dawn and her team and you can move on to the next item on your list. Thank you Dawn, Mike and JoshMary!!!

    Investing in and selecting a great photographer was a priority for our wedding planning. After meeting with Dawn to discuss the ideas we had for our wedding day, we knew we didn't need to look any more and immediately booked with DG Photography. Dawn photographed both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the results! We would recommend her without hesitation!

    My husband and I adored Dawn from DG Photography! From the beginning Dawn was a pleasure to work with- very personable, attentive and easy going. She has a talent for capturing gorgeous images and the quality of her work is exquisite! Her turn-around time was exceptionally fast (we had a preview of our wedding photos the day after our event) and we were so pleased with the variety of both posed and natural photos. We hope to work with her again in the future!

    I don't even know what to say about Dawn! She is completely amazing! At my very first meeting with her, I knew that this was the photographer that I wanted to do our wedding and I booked her almost immediately after. Throughout the whole process she was in constant communication with me, checking in and making sure everything was going smoothly. I didn't feel like I was having a stranger join us the day of the wedding--she fit right in like family.

    Dawn is an incredible artist and professional, and always seems to capture the perfect shot. For both our engagement and wedding photos, I had trouble choosing favorites--they were all amazing. Between her, her husband, and her assistant, I had the confidence that our wedding would be well photographed and that the day would be perfectly document, and I can now say that I was right. I cannot wait to see the rest of our pictures and our albums! The day of the wedding, she came over to my parents where I was getting ready and her husband went to our apartment to take pictures of the groomsmen. I love that both of us were able to be photographed getting ready and prepared for the big day, and not a single moment was missed! The previews on Facebook were incredible and posted the very next day! Dawn is one of the single best choices we made for our wedding day and I whole-heartedly recommend her to any couple! In fact, the next time I need photographs, I know exactly who I am going to call!

    Dawn Gardner and her team captured every detail of our wedding. Very professional, talented, detailed, and creative. Our engagement photos were one of a kind, Gatsby theme. My photo gallery is breathtaking and the guest book she created for us is absolutely gorgeous! Your most precious memories are in great hands if you allow Dawn to photograph them. She is simply amazing!

    Absolutely Amazing Service! Dawn was so nice and easy to work with, as you all know weddings can be stressful, our wedding was outdoors in 95+ degree weather but you can't tell from our photos! She really captured the day from start to finish! Dawn and her Husband did not miss anything, from tears to laughs they caught every moment! If you want to be able to re-live your wedding, go with DG Photography!

    Dawn's photos from our wedding were amazing! Also included in our price were engagement shots which were so fun to take and really showed off the playful side of my husband. She and her team were all so professional and they really did melt into the background when they needed to, and yet took every picture our relatives asked of them. I know that her prices have gone up since we booked her services, but I was so happy that I would still happily book her again! Honestly, you will not find another vendor who will be there from when you start getting ready in the morning, to the last dance at the reception unless you pay them per hour over their contracted 6 hours. Dawn is there for all of it, included! I happily recommend DG Photography!

    I have had numerous people ask who took our photos for our wedding because they say they are some of the best they have ever seen. I have not had one single person who has not LOVED them. The quality or work is absolutely amazing. She does what you want and has a great way of taking your visions and thoughts and turning them into reality. She is very friendly and down to earth and fun to work with. Her level of professionalism is outstanding and she knows the perfect place to stand to get those really awesome shots that everyone loves! She is very creative and knows a great deal about what she does. The only reason I voted 5 stars for everything, is because there wasn't a 6th star! If you don't go with DG photography, you are definitely missing out!

    Dawn and the DG photography team did such a wonderful job capturing the special moments in our engagement shoot and wedding day. She was so easy to work with and truly listened to the things we wanted and offered great ideas of her own. It was truly a pleasure seeing the images come back. It has been a little over a month from the wedding day and I already have the full gallery of pictures, quite a feat! My husband and I truly appreciated the fast turn around time.
    Along with the wedding and engagement shoots, Dawn was able to do Mother/Daughter shoot for my mother and I. We had such a great time getting our makeup done and sharing the spotlight with one another. It was one of the special moments in the wedding planning process and I am grateful to Dawn for making it happen.
    All three events that Dawn shot for us are forever recorded in beautiful photographs that we can treasure. My wedding day especially, from the formals to the candid shots. Each photo is my favorite!
    And, she and her crew did such a wonderful job at capturing the moments without blocking any guests views, such a skill!
    I loved working with Dawn as she was always helpful and ready to answer any questions I had.
    Dawn and DG Photography are a great asset to have wedding day!!

    Dawn and her team are absolutely flawless! I first contacted Dawn on the day I wanted my engagement shoot to be done (it was snowing) and she happily met me out in the freezing (but beautiful) snow to perform the shoot. It was amazing. I used her for one more shoot between the engagement session and the wedding, and she was so flexible and easy to work with. She does an amazing job tailoring her photos to fit your style. Her execution is phenomenal, and her photos are truly spectacular. She gives you QUICK turnaround and she always answers your phone calls or emails in a very timely manner. I recommend Dawn and her team to any bride. She was by far my best choice and I loved every minute working with her!

    We couldn't be more pleased with Dawn's work. She did our engagement photo shoot and designed a guest book for our wedding reception with our photos in it, creating a memento of the day that we'll always cherish. Dawn was also our photographer for the wedding and she produced some amazing shots and a wonderful catalog of photos documenting the day. She worked within the strict rules imposed by our church but still managed some great photos of the ceremony. We'll be working with her to make an album of our wedding photos.

    The minute we met Dawn we knew she was our photographer because we were so comfortable with her. She is incredibly talented, professional, and she really listens to your suggestions. I don't know much about photography, but my friends who do, including another professional photographer, have told me that Dawn's work is excellent. Dawn's services are an incredible value and I will recommend her to everyone I know who is getting married in the DC area.

    Dawn was absolutely wonderful! I couldn't have asked for a more personable and professional photographer. She was willing to be with my bridal party all day while we did our hair and make up, chatting with us and snapping pictures. She and her assistant captured all of the special moments of our wedding, including our sparkler send off. Dawn got up on top of the Expedition Limo to get an overhead shot of my husband and I walking through the sparklers! She had our wedding pictures sent to us within 3 weeks of the wedding, and they are stunning. I have received so many compliments on the pictures that Dawn took on our wedding day. I would highly recommend DG Photography if you are looking for someone who will build a relationship with you and your husband beforehand, and capture every angle of your special day. Thank you Dawn!
