Hiring Dawn Temple for our wedding photos was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding! She perfectly captured our day, without feeling like were constantly being dragged away for our photos. We loved the true candids and natural lighting that she used. And she gave us SOOO many edited photos that help us relieve the important moments of the day. 10/10 would recommend, especially if you are looking for natural lighting! She was also super professional and helped us with aspects of the timing of the day we didn't know as much about.
5 stars are not enough for Dawn. I had loved her work for many years and she was one of the first calls I made once we booked our venue. I wanted someone that would keep us natural. I wanted to be us and I knew Dawn would be able to accomplish that.
After reserving her for our wedding, I told her we opted not to have engagement pictures. A few months before the wedding, she reached out and suggested a day in the life. It was perfect. She drove up to our home in Massachusetts and took some of our favorite pictures and was able to include our furry children as well. It made us look forward to our wedding even more.
On the day of the wedding, Dawn captured every moment perfectly. Dawn made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. She was creative and kept our day simple, which was what we wanted. We received our sneak peek the next day! The finals were even more stunning than we had thought.
I can guarantee after you speak with Dawn, you will be hiring her for your photographer!
Words cannot express Dawn's insurmountable talent. She captures moments couples never even knew they needed. Her passion shows in her work and her relaxed, calming demure is just what your wedding day needs. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. She is an incredible professional and I am blessed to witness her gift whenever I have the opportunity to partner with her.
Look no further. There is nothing Dawn can't do when it comes to capturing your special moments. We are so fortunate.
We are having a destination wedding ceremony and reception later to follow. Both are on two separate dates. Though this isn't a traditional wedding, Dawn has made the planning process effortless! My fiance and I were nervous at the beginning of our engagement session as we have never formally posed together. Dawn directed us with her suggestions to get the most natural photos. It was so EASY and fun with her! Dawn certainly captures the most genuine special moments with her talent and our photos are simply incredible. Honestly, we know that we now have a photographer for all our life events and someone we can trust which is extremely important to us. Thank you Dawn for being so caring and professional! We and many others are so grateful beyond words as you are simply the perfect photographer in every way!
Dawn is incredibly kind, patient, creative, and most of all- crazy talented! She'll put you at ease instantly and is so awesome to work with. I immediately felt like we were friends from the minute we met. Our session was fun, effortless, and best of all our pictures came out awesome.
Our first experience with Dawn was at my sister's wedding in 2015 where Dawn captured what came to be our favorite photo of my boyfriend and I. So, it was a natural reaction that when my boyfriend proposed, Dawn would be the one to capture our engagement photos. Dawn provided us with many options of where to shoot the photos, as we did not have a specific spot we wanted, and was flexible to reschedule when the weather for the initial date did not look great. My fiance is not one to have his photo taken, but Dawn was able to capture the most amazing shots of him. We both felt so comfortable as Dawn captured romantic and intimate moments between us. She made us laugh and put us at ease as we got used to posing for the photos. We cannot wait to have someone with such charisma, charm, and natural talent photograph our wedding in 2018! Dawn is AMAZING!
Dawn Temple is quite possibly the Annie Lebowitz of wedding photographers. I was looking for a photographer for our wedding that had a very specific artistic flare. I scoured the landscape for someone who could capture the essence of our off-beat Cape Cod wedding. When a well known Cape Cod photographer referred her to me and I looked at her portfolio it was a heart-stopping, resounding "Yes, we have found what we have been searching for!" moment. That was just the beginning of a phenomenal relationship. She helped us realize our vision for our wedding. She captured not only the picturesque setting of our wedding but also was able to document the special nuances of our family. My favorite photos are the ones that have a tear or a smirk or some other unique feature that you would never find in any other set of wedding pictures. The photos of my husband and I standing in front of a fog laden bay in our first embrace as husband and wife are breathtaking. All the other family groupings couldn't be more full of joy, emotion and candor. I am absolutely sure that we will see her work on a much larger scale someday and that her art will reach a vast audience. Dawn's aesthetic and point of view is intrepid. We also just had a mini-session at the Christmas tree farm done and are so looking forward to seeing what she has created for us. Her professionalism is amazing. We feel like she is part of our family. If you want to have some family memories documented with utmost care Dawn Temple Photography is the perfect choice.
Dawn is a phenomenal photographer! Her work is so beautiful. I love her responsiveness, energy, and turnaround time. Could not have been happier and would recommend Dawn Temple Photography to anyone!
Dawn arrives and almost immediately you feel completely calm, and know that you are in expert hands. From the first moments, it is apparent that her vast experience in wedding photography will produce beautiful results. In addition, she is delightfully pleasant and easy to work with. My daughter and her husband were captured just as one would hope on their special day. They looked radiant, and Dawn chose beautifully artistic settings as well as classic settings for the photos. She was able to draw them out to get the best possible photos. They are a bit shy but you would never know it when seeing these lovely pictures. She is an outstanding wedding photographer and we are so glad we chose her. The results are magnificent and we will have these photos to cherish for a lifetime.
I was introduced to Dawn at a Bridal expo and instantly fell in love with her work. I knew she would captured special moment. Dawn did so and exceeded my expectations! Would recommend her to everyone!
Dawn was recommended to us by a good friend, who is also a photographer, for our wedding. I immediately felt that her style would meld perfectly with our personalities as well as what we were looking for.
Throughout the entire process Dawn was such a pleasure to work with. We knew exactly what she need from us and what to expect at each stage in in the planning.
The day of went extremely smoothly. We braved the chilly weather to take full advantage of a beautiful fall day on the beach. She was so efficient that we were slightly ahead of schedule, we were able to get in a few additional photos at a second location before the sun set.
Once the reception started she discreetly captured so many candids and group shots that we forgot she was there. Overall pictures came out wonderful and we couldn’t be happier!
Dawn was the best money we spent on our wedding! She not only did a beautiful job, she understood my husbands always changing schedule and was able to work around it. She was so sweet and a pleasant to work with. I plan on using Dawn everytime I need professional photographs done!
Dawn is not only a talented photographer and artist, but she's also a wonderful and easy person to work with. I first experienced working with her at a stylized photo shoot with my floral design business. Her skills and talent and professionalism completely impressed all of the vendors involved that day. The photos we received from the shoot were incredible! Naturally when it came time for my own wedding, I asked Dawn to be the photographer. Through rain and mud and chaos, (the wedding was in our back yard) Dawn remained composed, professional, and on task, and as such, delivered beautiful photos that truly captured the magic of our crazy day. I would highly recommend Dawn Temple!
Dawn has given our family a treasured gift. Her chronology of my stepdaughter's wedding beautifully capture the emotion of the day - romantic and alive! Her magic is no accident. A week before the wedding she traveled from RI to Boston to survey our suggested outdoor photo sites. Her prep work paid off as she covered all the modern family combinations efficiently while keeping everyone relaxed. And the backdrops are gorgeous. We do not even recall seeing her at the reception but the multitudes of candids are heartfelt and tell the story. Top notch at her craft and a pleasure!!
Dawn is not only talented and artistic but she also easygoing. When we first linked up for our sunrise engagement photo it was clear she had an idea in her head. Her vision led to the most beautiful shots! We laughed the whole time. Dawn is also amazingly responsive which makes her great to deal with. My hectic schedule means I'm texting or emailing at odd hours and she is always quick to respond. I can't recommend her enough! She's receptive and creative and I will be using her for every event we have in the future! If you want to love your photos - use Dawn Temple to capture the moment forever!
Dawn is a true artist! I've done multiple photo shoots with her, from my engagement photos, to a stylized photo shoot with my business. She never ceases to amaze me with her talent!!! I highly recommend Dawn!
Dawn was AMAZING! She had such amazing vision for the photos both engagement and during the wedding. Her eye for photography is uncanny. I would recommend her 10 times over for any event or pictures!!!
Dawn was recommended to us by a photographer friend who said she had a 'great eye'! She couldn't have been more right. We hired her for my daughters engagement and wedding. The engagement photos were taken at sunrise on the beach and were breathtakingly beautiful! The wedding photos were creative, thoughtful and equally as lovely as the engagement photos. Dawn was always prompt, courteous and not afraid to take charge and get things done (in a good way). She is incredibly talented and I feel blessed to have found her. She will be my go to photographer for any future event.
Dawn was AMAZING to work with! We had a blast with our photoshoot! Dawn is SUPER quick with responses regardless what time of day too. She worked really well with our crazy schedule. The photos we got back in our gallery were everything we wanted and more! I'm so happy we chose her to capture our love! We will be doing another round with her this summer! Can't wait!!!
Dawn was everything we could have hoped for the day of the wedding! So many wonderful shots of all our ceremonies, so many of our guests photographed, great artistic eye and choice of backdrop for the formals. She absolutely worked with our time frame and was prepared to catch every important detail in all the various parts of our ceremonies.
Dawn is exceedingly hardworking and professional, and her fine arts background clearly elevates her photographer's eye. We liked that she loves what she does and takes her work very seriously!
Dawn was phenomenal! We planned this wedding (in RI) from NC and she made it a breeze. She heard everything I wanted and went above and beyond to make it happen. Her demeanor the day of was both calming and reassuring. She was relaxed enough that I was relaxed but she got everything done! And quickly too, we even caught some of cocktail hour. She was creative, did her homework before hand and her communication with me (both in the planning stages and during the party) was beyond amazing. I cannot say enough how great it was working with her and how much I love the proofs I have seen so far! I would hire her again and again without question. Anyone considering hiring her can rest easy... she will take care of your event (and you) perfectly!!! SHE IS AMAZING!
We absolutely LOVED the photos Dawn took for our wedding on October 4th as well as for our engagement session. Her photos have the classic and timeless look that we wanted, and which we could not find with any of the other photographers we previously looked at. The quality of her work is simply outstanding. She is extremely skilled as a photographer, and is also very creative in finding interesting opportunities for taking photos. Even though it rained on our wedding day, we have both indoor and outdoor photos that are BEAUTIFUL!!! We were married on a college campus, and after our ceremony, we walked with Dawn all over campus to find fun places to have our photos taken. (In addition to the very classic photos that we wanted, we have many others that are simply super-fun or hilarious.)She also made sure to get to know our venue very well before our wedding by meeting us there months ahead of time. Dawn has a very pleasant personality and is easy to work with. It is easy to be yourself around her, and that makes the pictures look so much more natural. Throughout the planning process, she was always very responsive and easy to get in touch with. In addition to providing photography, Dawn designed our wedding invitations and they were beautiful as well! We couldn't be happier that we chose her, and would highly recommend her to anyone.
Dawn was wonderful to work with. She is very sweet and a true professional. I am so in love with the beautiful photographs she took on my wedding day! Look no further for your photographer.
