We found Dawn about 4 years ago for our Engagement/Wedding photographer. She is amazing at her craft and we have continued to go to her as we have grown our own family and to capture such wonderful memories.

We are so overjoyed to have met and hired Dawn Sparks for our daughters wedding. We were impressed by her portfolio and vast experience capturing all aspects of a wedding. And as we worked through engagement photos, wedding planning and then the wedding we were simply delighted with Dawn. She is genuine, patient, creative, knowledgeable, thoughtful, talented and so easy to work with. She captured details we would not have thought of; and was attentive to ensure she captured all the special photos we listed as important to us. The results of her work far surpassed our expectations! We love

Dawn was wonderful to work with. She captured some amazing memories and we are so happy we picked her as our photographer. We had a non traditional wedding format but that didn't phase Dawn. She has a super sweet personality and takes the time understand what photos are most important to you. We love our photos!

We could not possibly be more pleased with our wedding photos! Not only did our pictures turn out amazing, but Dawn and Noy were awesome to work with. It was a completely seamless process for my husband and I. When we got our photos back, everyone was super excited! I love that there are good photos of our guests to keep as well. On top of the pictures looking amazing, Dawn organizes them all and makes it super easy to share with others! They really covered it all! I would choose Dawn Sparks Photography again, over and over!

Well I can easily say hiring Dawn to be our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding! She was so easy and professional to work with, she really listened to what was important to us and the quality of photos we received has left the entire wedding party floored. This woman sure has a talent with a camera and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. I truly treasure the photos I have of my big day and I couldn't have said that without her skill, professionalism and organization.
