Dwayne was first recommended to us by our amazing planner Kimmi. From my first interaction with Dwayne, it was apparent that he was fully invested in our story and understanding the vision for our wedding day. About a month prior, we hopped on a call with both Dwayne and Kimmi to discuss a timeline for the day. We were on the fence about doing a first look, but after discussing the pros with Dwayne, we decided to do it and man are we glad we listened to him!
Fast forward to the wedding day, Dwayne arrives on scene with his team (Lincoln and Cosmo). Immediately jumping into action, Dwayne checks in on me and then my husband, making sure that we would both be ready for him to take some getting ready/solo shots before our first look.
During our first look, he brought us to several different locations around our venue. He would be checking in with us constantly to make sure that we were ok and not too hot from the sun. What we loved most about Dwayne was his ability to capture the candidness of the day. There was very little posing that we had to do, he was more interested in capturing the excitement and love of the day, which is exactly what you want to be evident in wedding pictures.
By the end of the night, you would have thought we had known Dwayne all our life. He really feels like a part of our family and we cannot give enough praise.
A huge thank you to Dwayne for being the storyteller of our most cherished chapter. His photographs are not just images; they are a symphony of emotions, and we will forever be grateful for the masterpiece he’s created from our love story. -

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

Timeless Photos & Amazing Experience
Dwayne & his team were fantastic! They took the time to get to know us and scouted perfect locations for us to get some of the most amazing shots! They were prepared for everything, and even monitored flight schedules at the nearby airport so they could capture a memorable photo with a plane landing overhead. We HIGHLY recommend TeamDWP! -

Sandals ochi wedding 7.30.22
We feel in love with Dwayne’s page as soon as we viewed it online and I knew I had to have him for our wedding. We had several phone meetings before our big day to plan the day and timeline of how it would go. Every call Dwayne made us feel at ease and it was so easy planning with him! When it finally came to the big day Dwayne took us all over the resort taking photos and even picked our perfect spot for our first look. He kept us on time and the photos all turned out amazing. If we did it all over again I would choose Dwayne over and over again. We will love our pictures forever ☺️☺️☺️ -

Exceptional Photographer and Experience
The minute we met Dwayne, we knew we wanted him to be our photographer. We live in the US and held our wedding at the Tryall Club in Jamaica - I was a bit nervous having to coordinate everything virtually but Dwayne eased all of my worries, answered all of my questions thoroughly and reassured us that everything was going to be amazing - and he did just that! Dwayne and his team did an incredible job capturing our special day! The 1.5k pictures he captured are beyond beautiful and make you feel like you're back in Jamaica - the #1 feedback we get is "these look like they should be in a magazine".
Not only did he deliver unbelievable photos but him and his team were so helpful throughout our wedding day. He kept everyone calm, happy and laughing! We are forever grateful to Dwayne and his team, thank you so much! -

The very BEST!!!
One of the very first wedding decisions we made was to work with TeamDWP!! I had seen reviews and tons of photos - all AMAZING! We had a tentative wedding date set but ended up changing it TWICE to make sure we chose a date that worked with TeamDWP as well, we just knew they were the best option. During our first phone call, Dwayne convinced me (who was 100% against a first look) just how important that first look time would be to my husband and I on our wedding day and I was instantly convinced - best decision ever! On our wedding day, Team DWP made every minute count and we had so much fun doing it - photos while getting ready, the first look, and then of course ceremony/cocktail hour/reception. Our wedding photos are all SO beautiful and we cannot thank the team enough for their work with us to capture every special moment on our wedding day! If you want the very best photographer, look no further!! -

We could not be happier with how our wedding photos turned out. Dwayne is a true professional and his wife, Kimmi is amazing as well... the dream duo! We appreciate how Dwayne kept in contact with us regarding details prior to our wedding date and was very informative. I didn't wear a veil for our ceremony. However, I purchased a 9 ft veil to wear for the first look so that the veil king himself could snap some unique photos. He did not disappoint! Truly an artist! My husband is camera shy and even he was beyond impressed with Dwayne and Kimmi. We are going to cherish our photos forever. Thank you so much for capturing such beautiful and everlasting memories and making it an exciting experience! 100% Highly recommend Dwayne for your wedding photographer!!!! :) -

Jovanna Y. Sent on 12/22/2021Team DWP is the best of the best! They absolutely made our wedding weekend!
Our experience working with Team DWP was amazing start to finish! Dwayne has an amazing eye and we're so glad we followed his lead and trusted his vision. He was a delight to shoot with and required very little guidance from us - it was truly one less thing for us to worry about. But not only did our photos turn out amazing, Dwayne was such a guiding light the day of. He encouraged me to take a few minutes to myself before the ceremony which was awesome advice and helped me be more present, prepared and calm for the ceremony. He eased our nerves throughout the entire experience. Our pictures are more beautiful that I could have every imagined and I'm so happy we'll have them to treasure forever. Dwayne is the best of the best and we could not recommend him more! -

TeamDWP Studios did a fantastic job in capturing and communicating the essence of our union. If you want images that would have a lasting memorable impact, you should use Dwayne Watkins. You won't just get photos, but instead, you will receive stimulating, breathtaking, daring, and intriguing images. I would recommend TeamDWP Studios 1000 times over for the process and outcome. Oh! AND trash the dress is a thing! Add that to your package as well! Love! -

Simply the best!
I knew years before my wedding that I had to have Dwayne take my wedding pictures after seeing his work on social media.
Having moved my wedding from Jamaica to Miami and finally deciding on Fredericksburg, VA, Dwayne was there every step of the way.
He went out of his way to ensure Geoffrey and I had the best wedding day possible. From being Mr DIY to driving around for hours looking for the perfect place to take pictures, in a small town we all knew nothing about. His fun, easy going personality made being behind the camera such a fun, amazing experience.
Team DWP gave us the most amazing pictures to last a lifetime. He captured every memory so perfectly, we are incredibly grateful to have had him photograph our wedding. Thank you for being part of our special day. -

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Watkins,
I cannot even begin to describe how incredibly grateful I am to you both. You were both a full-service team that went above and beyond our expectations and your responsibilities. It had to be an act of divine intervention that you guys were our photographers. The moments of joy and peace we felt, at times when everything was falling apart and not going to plan was possible because of your professionalisms and expertise, not just in your capacity as photographers, but also with the knowledge of weddings you both brought with you as a whole. We are so humbled and blessed to have had you as our photographers.
Mrs. Watkins, I don't even know how to thank you, but I will never stop saying it. I have no clue what I would have done without you. You took on so many unplanned roles yesterday and executed every single one of them seamlessly. You were prepared for every and anything, from having pins for my dress to making sure I got to my wedding.
It's the perfection and professionalism of TeamDWP for me! You guys took wedding photography to a different level. We have printed every single picture out of the almost 600 photos taken. Every single picture was on point and spectacular.
Thank you so much.

Destination Wedding
Let me start off my saying.....Dwayne and his crew are everything!! One of the best decisions of the wedding planning process was hiring him for our photography. Our pictures are AMAZING! Dwayne came highly recommended, and lived up to his name. He is the true professional but also very personable. He kept the vibe light and fun, and helped shake our nerves of being in front of a camera all day. Fortunately, Dwayne was very familiar with our wedding venue, so he expertly guided us through the different areas for pictures. Now, he will have you running (not literally) all over for photo ops if you choose to do first look pictures....but BABY its worth it. I couldn't thank him enough for being by our side and also going beyond the call of duty at times to make sure we were comfortable and happy throughout our wedding day. So if I had one piece of advice for anyone considering hiring him: Book him as soon as you can & spend the money! -

Simply the best
Dwayne was punctual and calm, cool, collective in a situation that was intolerable by the resort wedding planner and other staff. Dwayne took a situation which timing wasn't on our side and made it work. Although we don't have all the pictures yet, the pictures that were sent to us are amazing (angles, color, vibrant..etc). During the session, If something Dwayne is doing seems "awkward", it's not, let him do it, his vision is great! Allow and embrace the greatness. Dwayne's attention to detail, along with guiding you what to do for pictures felt like a glamours photo shoot. Please don't be held back if you have any ideas of pictures you want as Dwayne is up for it and he will create more pictures from the idea you had. We are so happy and fulfilled that we made the choice to be down with Team DWP and so will you! -

The best wedding photographer in the industry!
I had the pleasure of working with Dwayne Watkins as my wedding photographer, and I can't recommend him enough! Dwayne is truly one of the best wedding photographers in the industry, and he has an incredible talent for capturing every moment in the most beautiful and artistic way possible.
Throughout the entire process, Dwayne was so professional, friendly, and attentive to every detail. He has an amazing ability to anticipate every memory and guide you through every setup to make sure you get the perfect shot. He was so patient with us and took the time to understand our vision and make sure that we got the shots we wanted.
On the day of our wedding, Dwayne was absolutely amazing. He was so organized, professional, and had a great sense of humor that made us feel so comfortable and at ease. He was able to capture so many incredible moments that we will cherish for a lifetime. Every time we look through our wedding photos, we're transported back to that magical day, and we have Dwayne to thank for that.
Overall, I can't recommend Dwayne enough. He is an incredibly talented photographer who is passionate about his work, and he goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are happy. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will capture every memory and deliver amazing results, Dwayne is your guy. Thank you so much, Dwayne, for making our wedding day so special! ❤️ -

Dream Photography Team
Where to begin! Dwayne was a dream to work with. From the moment we had our first call I knew I had made the right decision going with Dwayne. Obviously you would expect a photographer to have good people skills but Dwayne excelled; it was as if he's been our personal photography for years! He was so interested in our story, our wedding, and what we wanted out of our experience together.
On the day of our wedding him and his beautiful wife Kimmi were like our honorary bridesmaids (trust me, you want them on your team). When my mom forgot her glasses and was super nervous trying to button up my dress Dwayne stepped in (after getting the important Mom /daughter getting in dress photos) and had all my buttons done in a matter of seconds! We got married on a very hot Jamaican day so when my husband started melting Dwayne ran and got him a towel to dry off. My veil also wasn't cooperating so Dwayne and Kimmi were repining it between shots. I felt this level of comfort with them because I could feel their experience and expertise at every step.
Dwayne is a work horse. He had us running around the resort to find all the best locations. He made sure to make the most out of our time together and let me tell you, it was SO worth it. Our photos are amazing. I am usually super critical of myself but Dwayne shot us in a way that I honestly can't be harsh on myself. Our wedding photos are above any expectation that I had. I might be biased but they are seriously magazine quality. I was drawn to Dwayne because of his cathedral veil photos. I honestly was against a veil until I saw his portfolio. But I made sure he knew those were important to me and oh my God did he deliver. I have never seen such beautiful pictures incorporating a veil.
I am beyond grateful for the experience and lifetime memories that Dwayne and his wife Kimmi gave to us. I will forever cherish the stunning moments he captured.TeamDWP Studios By Dwayne Watkins's reply:
This means so much to us. It was such an awesome day, and we were just delighted to share in these priceless moments with you and your family. We Love you both. Congrats again. - Kimmi+Dwayne -

Allie Sent on 12/14/2020We were so amazed to see the artistic interpretation in the light and reflections that we never would have dreamed possible!
Dwayne and Kimmy were fabulous to work with!! Do not hesitate if you are thinking of hiring Dwayne. He is a great communicator, and once we spoke, he eased any worry I had. We were putting a wedding together in 2 weeks after 3 wedding date and venue changes due to Covid. Only a few minutes into that first phone conversation, Dwayne had me laughing. His creative style was what caught my attention, and his personality was what solidified our decision. On our wedding day, Dwayne and Kimmy his wife arrived 30 minutes early. They instantly felt like old friends with a warmth and caring that we’ve never experienced with a photographer. Kimmy even offered me the safety pin off of her own shirt when I had a dress issues! Miraculously, our wedding ceremony ended up taking place in the beautiful setting which Dwayne suggested, even though the resort representative had told us we didn’t have a large enough wedding party to get married there. Somehow, we think he had a hand in that. His contagious smile, energy, and enthusiasm for capturing exceptional memories was beyond our expectations. No photo was left un shot, and the Watkins were as excited as we were about our finalé idea of jumping off the bridge into the ocean at sunset. We were so amazed to see the artistic interpretation in the light and reflections that we never would have dreamed possible.
Thank you so very much for capturing our love and memories,

Waking up and seeing reviews like this just completely humbles, and excites us at the same time. You confirm that we're on a journey with couples like yourself. We Love you both. Congrats again. - Kimmi+Dwayne -
