    We could not have chosen a better wedding photographer than Dionne Kraus.

    From our very first interaction, Dionne was professional, funny, and incredibly easy to work with. On our wedding day, she struck the perfect balance between being calm and organized while also making us feel completely at ease in front of the camera.

    Her eye for detail is exceptional. She captured not only the big, emotional moments but also the quiet, intimate ones we didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking back through our photos feels like reliving the day exactly as it was—full of love, joy, laughter, and authenticity.

    Beyond her talent, Dionne’s presence was truly grounding on a very busy day. She was attentive, easy-going, and funny. She made everything feel comfortable and effortless.

    If you’re looking for a photographer who is artistic, reliable, funny, and genuinely invested in capturing your wedding in a meaningful way, Dionne Krauss is it. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives.

    Highly, highly recommend.

    1 million out of 5 stars would recommend!

    Alright I am about to gush really hard, but Dionne made our wedding day absolutely unforgettable! Her incredible attitude, attention to detail and ability to capture every moment I believe is unmatched. I feel like one of the most un-photogenic people on the planet, yet every picture of myself and my husband were incredible. Dionne made us feel amazing throughout the day and incredibly comfortable and like everything was taken care of and solid. She truly exceeded every expectation that we had. We are still getting insane amounts of compliments on our pictures and we are endlessly grateful for both her talent and support. Having Dionne as your photographer is a non-negotiable and I just can't believe how lucky we were to have her. I promise that if you are looking for the right person for the job, don't pass go, don't collect $200, just stop your search here with Dionne, you will be happy that you did. Thank you so much Dionne! YOU ARE THE BEST!

    Dionne is one of a kind!

    We found Dionne through two of our good friends who worked with her for their weddings. We loved the photos from both couples' weddings and they both shared nothing but positive things about their experience working with her. Our experience was no different!

    Dionne was incredibly communicative and easy to work with from start to finish, which made the process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she brought a positive energy, making the photoshoots genuinely fun while offering helpful direction and doing a great job of sensing what the group needed. Considering how large family our families are, the wide range of ages and personality styles, I was super impressed at how smoothly Dionne was able to make photos go. Everyone felt comfortable and the photos moved very efficiently.

    Dionne's easy-going nature put everyone at ease, and the results speak for themselves - our photos turned out stunning and captured our day perfectly with a great balance of posed, candid and detail shots. We will treasure them forever! If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and delightful wedding photographer, I can’t recommend Dionne highly enough. She was an absolute joy to work with, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience.

    The BEST photographer ever!!!

    Dionne produces AMAZING pictures and is so professional from the time you book to the time you get your pictures (which is soooooo fast!) The pictures are always better than I could have ever imagined, and they don’t have that heavily filtered look which I love!

    Amazing photos & human!

    My fiancé and I have never had professional photos till Dionne. She is a blast to be around. She made every moment fun, silly and memorable. We were so comfortable around her and tend to be awkward when a camera comes around. she made it super easy.

    If you want the total package of a photographer you should stop thinking "Should I" and DO IT! she will not disappoint. She will be our forever photographer through all our stages of life to come. I cannot wait for more moments with Dionne and the magic she creates when behind a camera.

    Dionne is everything and more when it comes to photography!

    Dionne is not only an amazing photographer, but an amazing human being. From the beginning she is enthusiastic and fun, and really tries to get to know the couple to help make them feel as comfortable as possible. On wedding day she is easy going, and willing to make things happen when there’s any hiccups. Her photos were one of my favorite things to come out of our day. She is able to capture every single moment, even ones you didn’t realize you needed. The candids she takes tell the entire story of your day. She is able to capture light and add her own art to the photos that make it impossible to choose favorites. 100000% recommend Dionne!

    Outdoor Wedding Vibes!

    If you are looking for a rad photographer with all the right vibes Dionne Kraus Photography is the way to go! My Husband and I had a beautiful outdoor wedding in Parkdale, OR overlooking beautiful Mt. Hood that we put in the hands of Dionne Kraus and her team! Dionne and her assistant photographer did a knockout job from start to finish both at our wedding venue as well as at our AirB&B capturing all the preparations with the wedding party and our first look photos. If you are someone who feel a little uncomfortable in front of the camera look no further Dionne is so good at small directions to help you move and hold each other more naturally it just flows. Creating stunning photos. Her husband Craig was our DJ (silicon forest entertainment) and put on a killer performance and kept up the dance vibes all night long, which was all our guests could talk about the next day. Dionne was super fun to work with; her bubbly personality combined with her professionalism and ability to really capture the moment really comes through in the end product. Everything her product offerings had to offer suited us very well and having her husband as a DJ, made this a no brainer for us. If you want the complete wedding package look no further than Dionne Kraus Photography and Silicon Forest Entertainment, they are the best.

    Do it! Book Dionne!

    She clearly knows what she's doing and based on our experience working with her I'd highly recommend. The photos are high quality and she seemed to capture all the important moments of my beautiful bride and I, our wedding party and our cherished attendees. Professional and fun-loving with great energy. She's sure to make your engagement and/or wedding photo sessions memorable.

    Epic Experience with Dionne

    Super satisfied with booking Dionne to help capture my wife and mine's engagement and wedding experiences. Dionne's work was above and beyond as far as creating a comfortable environment that didn't require much effort on our end to produce top notch photos that we really enjoy sharing with our family and friends. One favorite memory was how Dionne was equipped with a fanny pack to tackle any wardrobe malfunctions and other mishaps!

    The best of the best!!

    We did so much research when we were searching for a photographer to capture our engagement and big day, but honestly no one compares to Dionne. She is so fun to work with, goes above and beyond, captures the best candids and is the best of the best at her craft. People are in awe every time I show off our photos, and we have a whole "Dionne wall" at our house because it's so hard to showcase just one photo from her. My husband and I will forever be grateful for her and every time we look back at our wedding photos, we feel like we can relive them. Her editing style is also incredible and she's an absolute blast to work with. Every time we get the chance to shoot with her we feel like we are hanging out with a friend who also makes us look like models when we have no clue what we're actually doing. We love you like fam, Dionne, and can't thank you enough for capturing our love so beautifully!

    Epic Adventures

    Dionne was amazing at incorporating non-traditional ideas into both engagement photos and the wedding day! Motorcycles, leather jackets, and epic views made for an amazing wedding portfolio. We trusted her vision and she delivered! Highly recommend!

    Calm, flexible and skilled photographer!

    My husband and I loved working with Dionne as our wedding photographer! Leading up to our wedding day Dionne had a calm, but energetic energy that made us feel comfortable and confident. She communicated often and was very thorough in what to expect in her emails and any information she needed from us. On the day of our wedding working with her was a breeze! She showed up early, and navigated the flow of the day with ease and flexibility as our timeline shifted a bit. I really appreciated her shooting and editing style - she helped guide us, but really just helped us be ourselves and find wonderful candid moments to capture the essence of the day. Photos turned out amazingly beautiful. I'd be lucky to work with Dionne again!

    Amazing & Creative Photographer!

    Fantastic photographer. She has now photographed two other of our friend's weddings. She did such a beautiful job on our own wedding. We wanted a dramatic, whimsical, and romantic theme and she nailed it. Additionally, our original wedding was cancelled due to covid and Dionne was so patient and flexible with our rescheduling. She even did an elopement photoshoot for us to celebrate our first anniversary. She is very professional and made both my family and friends very comfortable. Some of my favorite photos that she took from our wedding were the candids of all of my guests. It was a delight to work with her and if I have a maternity or family photos in the future, I would definitely work with her again.

    Amazing Wedding Photographer

    Dionne is one of the most amazing photographers in the PNW (and she travels too!). She was actually one of the first people I reached out to when I was engaged because I knew she HAD to be the one to capture the big day. Originally we were going to go to the mountains to elope but it evolved to smaller ceremony at a barn with great views. She is artsy, and fun and is down for just about anything when it comes to capturing your vision. I would give her 10 stars if I could. If you are looking for a photographer you will not regret booking her. I hope to get future sessions out in the woods with the family too!

    A Friend for a Photographer

    Dionne was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer! She is incredibly down-to-earth, and kind. It felt as though she was a friend, which made us feel so comfortable during our engagement photoshoot AND our wedding. We would choose her time and time again!

    Absolutely incredible and seamless

    Dionne was such a joy to work with throughout our engagement and wedding day! She was so helpful with figuring out a good timeline for the day in order to get the photos we wanted most, she made sure to include our kiddos and make them feel so special even in our rainy engagement/family photos at the coast, and it felt like I just had another close friend in attendance at our wedding. I can’t recommend her enough! Very organized, friendly, calm, and helpful. She even helped mend some buttons on the sleeve of my wedding dress minutes before walking down the aisle and bustle my gown later in the day!

    Best in the Biz

    Dionne was phenomenal! She does it all: photography (most obvious), hype-girl, family wrangler, guest liaison– I could go on. Above and beyond photography duties, Dionne was checking in frequently with my husband and I during our reception, and brought us wine– I was blown away. I got so many comments from guests after the wedding that she was wonderful to work with! I feel like that says a lot when your guests notice your photographer and their work before any photos were seen. The photos speak for themself. She obviously does beautiful work, but I would hire Dionne again in a heartbeat! She is so lovely to work with. I was surprised with how many photos we got back from our sneak peeks, too!

    Best photography experience

    Dionne went above and beyond our expectations for a wedding photographer. She not only gave us amazing and beautiful wedding photos, but she made the day more enjoyable and really helped relieve some of the stress that comes with wedding planning. I usually hate getting photos taken, but Dionne made the experience most comfortable and we LOVE our photos! She is worth the investment, she is fun to work with, and she goes the extra mile for you. She even captured some candid photos of our guests that really captured the emotions of the day. I gave my guests some of the photos they were in and they all loved them so much. I look forward to meeting with Dionne again in the future to get some bomb photos taken. I'd recommend Dionne to anyone 100%. ❤😁📸

    You should hire Dionne for your wedding!

    We had the BEST time working with Dionne for our engagement photos and wedding photos! She really treats her clients like good friends and it's clear in all of her communications that she loves what she does. We were both a bit nervous about the engagement pics being awkward but Dionne made them so fun, kept us laughing and gave easy/great directions that made us feel like naturals. On our wedding day Dionne was on time, again gave great directions and took the most incredible photos. I am beyond happy with our photos and LOVE looking back at them and reliving the best day. She really went above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Dionne to anyone looking for an amazing photographer and I want her to capture all of life's big events!

    Fantastic!

    Dionne is incredible! We got a shoot for our wedding ceremony in Oregon, plus several shoots done in Hawaii and the photos are beautiful. She is so fun and energetic, and she makes sure you are getting what you want out of your shoot. Definitely book her if you want a wonderful experience and amazing wedding pictures!!

    The best ever!

    AMAZING!!! Just one word that describes Dionne’s work. If you want someone who is kind, funny, outgoing, incredible and the best photographer I’ve ever met, then go with Dionne. She has done several of my photoshoots, most importantly my wedding and she did not disappoint. She put up with my dysfunctional family, helped me organize things and set up the most beautiful table set up for me because I didn’t know how. The photos made my husband and I both sob in tears because of how beautiful she made the moment look. She gives sneak peaks a day or two after, and the full gallery in 2 weeks.
    She is absolutely the kindest person I know, and she is an incredible photographer too.
    Choose Dionne!!! You will not regret it!!

    Dionne creates magic with her wedding photography! If I could give her 10 stars I would. I consider her the best in the industry capturing incredible moments of memories. Our daughter's wedding photographs were absolutely STUNNING! I highly recommend her!

    Gorgeous Images and Fun Photographer

    My husband and I aren't the biggest fans of getting our pictures taken, as it can be an awkward process. That was never a concern with Dionne. She has such a fun and easy-going personality that she makes any photoshoot much more comfortable. Not only is she a blast to work with, her photos are absolutely stunning. She's able to pull out gorgeous lighting and colors to make any location look amazing! We highly recommend choosing Dionne Kraus Photography to capture your big day!

She is a genius and the best decision we made during the hectic wedding process (especially getting married during a pandemic!) I can’t recommend her enough! If you want to enjoy memories of your day through beautiful photographs, you have to get Dionne! She is THE BEST, hands down!

    The BEST Photographer!

    Dionne was so amazing to work with! My now husband and I can be pretty awkward, but she was able to ease our nerves and capture shots that were so breathtaking! She was so flexible and worked around our changes we had to make due to COVID. I could not recommend her enough; she is simply the best.

    Wedding photos

    We knew from the moment we met Dionne that she was going to capture our big day. She made us feel so comfortable, excited and genuinely happy! We received a complimentary engagement shoot which gave us the opportunity to interact with the camera - which made it way easier on our wedding day to know exactly what to do. We just love Dionne and her work, we will cherish it forever.

    Dionne was recommended to my now husband and me by a friend. We live in Arizona, but heard she travels to Arizona and thought we would reach out. After interviewing 3 other photographers we just knew we had to pick her. She was easy to talk to, seemed genuinely excited for us and her photos are truly beautiful. She's the greatest and I can't recommend her enough.

    The amazing quality of her photography speaks for itself. We absolutely loved our wedding and engagement photos. They looked like they belong in a magazine! And she's super nice and personably.

    Ahhhhmazing

    Dionne Kraus Photography is AHhhmazing. We felt like we were hanging out with one of our best friends which makes the difference for a bride and groom that have never had professional pictures taken. What takes the cake is her ability to bring out the best in you with every shot. I couldn't be happier with the way our wedding and engagement pictures turned out! We will cherish them forever.

    Magical, Mystical, and Perfect!

    OOOOH MYYYY! Dionne was PERFECT to work with! We did a very small elopement (7 people, including Dionne!) and she was great! She caught a lot of intimate moments, and her suggestion of posing under a waterfall resulted in such great pictures! Her pictures are so good, my parents felt like they were there with us!

    Bottom line Dionne is great. If you can book her husband Craig as your dj I can guarantee your photos and music will over come anything that goes wrong at your event. Dionne is so fun and manages everything flawlessly. By the end of the day you feel like you're best friends .

    Top portland wedding photographer

    Dionne took both our engagement photos and wedding photos and if I ever get married again (knock-on-wood) she's definitely taking those too! She's not only super fun to work with and has a hilarious sense of humor, but she's professional, sends back photo in a timely manner, sends you sneak peeks from your shoots like RIGHT AWAY, and if you're anything like me, want them posted asap, and is in constant communication with you. Seriously, so lucky she wasn't booked for another wedding or we would've moved our date!

    Dionne is BEYOND talented

    The wedding might fly by but the photos will last forever. We had a vision for what we wanted our photos to look like. We live in the Pacific Northwest and wanted to create dramatic and moody shots. If you flip through Dionne’s Instagram profile, you’ll she that she has MASTERED this technique. Starting with our engagement photoshoot, we were floored by the photos. We couldn't believe she was able to transform what, at the time, looked like ordinary backdrops into what could have easily been the cover of a magazine. Dionne has years of experience and knows plenty of locations to fit your needs. She will even scout locations for you as she did for us when we asked her to find the perfect first look location. When hiring Dionne you get more than a photographer, you get someone to bounce off engagement outfit ideas on, someone who will make sure the colors and patterns you pick match well and won’t be washed out in photos. Dionne went through the entire day of timeline with us to make sure everything flows well. She’s someone who will calm you down and even advise a shot of whiskey to calm the nerves as she did for the groom :). Dionne blew us away in every way with her talent and personality. We are so thrilled we found her to capture this amazing journey. We couldn’t be happier with the way our photos turned out. But enough reading our review, her pictures speak louder than words. Go check out her profile and see for yourself!

    Amazing photographer = happy bride

    After my wedding, I wanted to relive the day over and over and over again. I had so much fun dancing and singing and drinking. While I was SO THANKFUL that the wedding planning was over, I was bummed out that the party was over, and everyone we loved was going home. When we received our wedding photos back from Dionne it was at midnight, I happen to check my phone and I was instantly filled with JOY. I woke my husband up and we sat in bed scrolling through the pictures together. Reliving the wonderful day. I have looked at our photos over and over again since then catching little details that I missed before, or laughing at the photo of my grumpy niece or my heart smiling of grandpa and grandma dancing on the dance for or the funny faces being made in the photo booth. Dionne caught all of these memories and more and I am so thankful we chose her. I wish we could relive the day again, because if I could, I would choose her again, and not change a thing.

    Amazing photos and full of energy!

    Dionne was amazing throughout the entire process! She was extremely helpful and full of energy during both the engagement photo shoot and the wedding. She even helped keep us sane on the day of the wedding; and she made sure we had everything we always had everything we needed throughout the reception! I will gladly recommend Dionne to everyone I know!

    Fun and beautiful work

    We are so happy Dionne did our engagement and wedding photos. They are beautiful and capture our story perfectly. She was helpful and super fun to work with. Her packages are a great deal and worth it.

    Dionne is a GEM!

    Dionne was a great photographer. She had such a high level of energy and was able to capture all the details from all across the wedding venue. From setup in the morning to sparkers after dusk, Dionne was there to capture all of the action and did it with great energy and the most fun attitude. It was really nice that we could carry a conversation with her throughout the day. You need this in a photographer because you are gonna be stressed out on your big day and considering how much time you spend with your photographer, this is super important, Dionne made our day easy and special and we could not have asked for a better photographer!!

    Amazing photographer in every way possible!!

    Dionne was such a great choice for us. Her creativity and expertise made our wedding pictures look amazing. She was able to capture the mood of the wedding and the details that we were hoping to remember.

    Excellent photographer choice!

    If you want a photographer who is skilled, friendly, and flexible then Dionne is your choice. She did a great job for our wedding, giving us everything we asked for, clued us in to some things we didn't, and went the extra mile to memorialize our special day. Definitely recommend and worth the investment!

    Book Her Now

    Dionne was amazing. She actually came recommended to my husband and I through her husband, amazing DJ Craig (Silicon Forest). We used both of them for our day. I honestly cannot say enough about working with Dionne. She was very communicative from the start and easy to work with. She understood that my husband and I are not creatives or center of attention people, and directed when need be and let us be when need be. The photos are to die for. The only problem is narrowing down how many to print/order because they are all so awesome. The lighting was great. We got married in winter and she had no issues with the weather. When the day was super delayed, she went with it. We had to narrow down the photo list pre-wedding, but it never felt like it in the final product. She was in the thick of it for the dinner/dancing - even getting down on the floor in the middle of our impromptu Sweet Caroline dance circle. She ran with it when we decided to spur of the moment keep the reception open an extra hour. The photos came back to us quickly too - 36 hours for a preview, 3 weeks for a slideshow of selected photos, and 6 weeks for all the photos. We're now in the process of selecting the photos and design for the physical album - which is an amazing extra on her package that I never thought of, but now can't wait to get. My husband and I were concerned slightly about the price of all of this, but I would do it all again hands down - with Dionne (and Craig) being the first vendor(s) we select. I want Dionne to take all our photos from here on out - since we had a winter wedding, and we couldn't necessarily take advantage of Golden Hour lighting, I want her to take a random photo sess of us just for those photos because she's AMAZING!!! Her personality is wonderful, and the first thing I said upon reading her website was that I felt she was my spirit animal. And after working with her, that has just further solidified. You need to book her now.

    Dionne is wonderful!

    Dionne was such a joy to work with throughout the process, from the initial consultation, the engagement photo shoot, and the big day itself.
    She has such a bubbly personality and true enthusiasm and passion for photography that shines through in her work.

    My wife and I were a little bit nervous about doing the engagement shoot, because we're not typically "center of attention" people, and the prospect of having someone spend an hour just taking pictures of us made us uncomfortable. But Dionne really put us at ease and helped us enjoy the day, had great suggestions for photos to take, and we really enjoyed the results.

    Likewise, on the day of the wedding she was great! Obviously part of the process is that the photographer is hanging out with you and your closest friends and family throughout the day. It's a fine line to walk to get all the photos that we want, and be a part of the day, but not be obtrusive, and Dionne did it fantastically.
    On the dance floor during the reception she was in the thick of things getting fantastic candid shots that really were some of our favorites.
    After the wedding she got us a quick preview slideshow of some of the photos within about 3 weeks, which was awesome to have so soon, and really got us excited for the full batch of photos, which did not disappoint!
    I couldn't recommend Dionne more highly!

    Incredible photos and incredible person!

    After seeing pictures from another couple’s beautiful engagement shoot on the coast, I knew we had to have Dionne as our wedding photographer. From our very first meeting Dionne was professional but also full of personality. She is the type of person that can instantly make you feel comfortable in a situation where you feel like you have no idea what you’re doing. Dionne knows how to provide guidance during a shoot while also letting you be yourselves so your photos don’t look forced. When we first saw our engagement photos our jaws dropped, and we’ve been equally impressed with our sneak peek wedding photos! From hopping fences to scaling down a minor cliff to get the perfect shot, we had a blast working with Dionne, and she is truly a talented photographer. From the very beginning we never had any doubts and absolutely knew that we could count on her to perfectly capture our wedding. We’ve already recommended her to another couple who was just as impressed as we have been!

    Absolutely incredible!

    Working with Dionne was one of the best decisions of my life. She had such a wonderful ability of taking away the nerves and keeping us laughing the entire time. Engagement through the wedding photoshoot she was attentive and very helpful with all of our questions while keeping it light and fun. If you want a photographer that's going to kick butt and make you laugh the whole way through, call her. Go ahead. I'll wait. Now, not only is she a wizard of her craft, she is one of the most positive human beings you could meet. The quality of her work is beyond amazing. These will be photos that you will truly look at and smile. No cringing at bad posing and awkward hands here.

    Fun and enjoyable!!!

    While planning the wedding the most important thing to us was finding the right photographer. After the cake is eaten and the dancing is done, all you have left from the big day are the wedding pictures. We wanted to find someone easy to work with and someone who would be able to deliver images we would cherish looking at years down the road. From the moment we met Dionne I knew she was the one! I realize how cheesy that sounds but hear me out. She had a warm smile and a contagious joyous attitude when she walked into the room that was almost palpable. I remember looking at her work and thinking "God please let her be local". From day one she made the whole process effortless. She sent us updates and emails that made us laugh and made sure every detail was accounted for. In the midst of all that hectic planning it was the one thing we knew we could count on to go absolutely flawlessly!

    Professional, Fun, and Stunning photos!

    Dionne is a DAY MAKER. From the beginning of the process she was accommodating, direct, and didn't make me feel so clueless since I was planning my own wedding. She went the extra mile in responding quickly to emails, going out of her way to make sure I got the pictures I wanted, and she reigned in family that tried to take the lead (who would have thought ;) ), all while being funny, friendly, and focusing on getting us the best pictures. We would do it all over again with Dionne and will cherish our photos for the rest of ur lives!

    Outstanding dream photos!

    Dionne traveled to KC to photograph my daughters black tie wedding . She was the most creative hard working and professional photographer. All her pictures were spot on she didn’t miss a minute of anything from 7:30 am to after midnight both inside the mansion and outside in the rose garden ceremony. Hire her now! She’s the best!

    Amazing photographer

    Oh, Dionne, where do we even begin? We didn't have a photographer a month before our wedding day. We contacted Dionne, and she had our day available. She easily could've turned us away, and told us that wasn't enough notice, but heck no! She was stoked to be our photographer! Dionne was energetic, and bubbly from the moment we first talked to her. She gave us her full attention from beginning to end. Her photography is flawless, and she captured our big day perfectly. We would recommend Dionne 1,000,000 times. We can't thank you enough! You da bomb!

    Love,
    Ty & Amanda Mallow

    You will NOT regret your decision to hire Dionne to shoot your wedding! She went above and beyond in every single way-- communication with her was seamless; she was very organized, helpful, and brought such a positive energy to our wedding day. To top off the amazing experience of working with her she knocked it out of the park with our photos. Thank you Dionne!

    Dionne is Amazing!

    She took our engagement photos and I was blown away with how incredible they were, then I was even more blown away by the wedding photos! She has such a great eye for finding the right lighting and angles to make you feel like you're a model. She also got so many wonderful candid shots of me and my groomsmen, we don't all get to see each other very often and it was nice to have photos of how much we laugh when we're around each other. I would highly recommend hiring her!

    Having someone take pictures of you can be a very awkward experience but working with Dionne was so easy the experience anything but. Her personality is very fun, and she does a great job of getting you out of your shell. My husband and I just love how beautiful the pictures came out and will cherish them forever.

    My now-wife found Dionne when we were planning out destination wedding on the Oregon Coast and she really stood out among the competition. The biggest impression, particularly for my then-fiancee, was her portfolio of work she had done - there was something about her photography that really captured the beauty and emotion of each couple's big day and surroundings. Dionne was incredibly friendly and professional - her experience was evident in her calmness and expertise on the timing of our big day so that we'd have plenty of time to capture some great photos - which she did. We recently received our final photos and we are ecstatic with how they turned out! I would highly recommend Dionne to anyone who is looking for a wedding/event photographer!

    If you're looking for an amazing photographer for your wedding day, Dionne is the one! She hits all of the important points! First of all, her work is absolutely beautiful. She captures all of the special moments of the day so perfectly. She was so responsive via email, skype, text which made everything so much less stressful. On the day of the wedding, she was on time and helped keep everything on time. I also decided to have Dionne for the whole day, which was the best decision!

    Dionne is fun to work with and helps everything so seamlessly on your wedding day. She catches the magic of the moment in an artistic way which makes it so fun to look through the photos. Part of what makes her a good wedding photographer is that she is great with working with large groups of people and going with the flow. She was happy to comply with random photo request made on our wedding day. Additionally, all of our photos have turned out great. She is super busy, but she still cares about each wedding and the couple individually. The photos turned out great, she is very talented at capturing the moment in a perfect way.

    Dionne was so great! She was sweet and friendly and had really good pose suggestions. She caught all of the key moments, and had a good representation of all the guests. We had a kindof relaxed schedule so Im sure that made it more difficult but she pulled it off. And to top it all off the final photos were beautiful!!

    Dionne is out of this world. She is the funniest, sweetest, most willing-to-do-something-crazy-to-get-the-photo photographer that I have ever met. Seriously, I cannot say enough good things about how amazing Dionne has been. She has a wonderful eye and is amazing at capturing personality in her photos. I've never had so much fun taking pictures!
    I recommend her to all of our friends and will sing her praises forever. We will DEFINITELY use SweetDee Photography again in the future!

    I highly recommend Dionne for any event

    Dionne was able to capture the genuine and brief moments that made our wedding special. Not just of my husband and I but of all our guest and loved ones. It's a real trip going through our pictures and seeing all the shenanigans that went on while we were elsewhere. I highly recommend Dionne for any event!
