MAX DAWSON Studio

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible photography and videography from Max Dawson Studio at our wedding. From the very beginning, David made us feel comfortable and excited about capturing every moment of our special day.   David was not only professional but also a true artist. The way he, Tom and Arthur captured candid moments, our family portraits, and the little details of our wedding was simply stunning. They knew exactly how to make us and our guests feel at ease in front of the camera, and the results were breathtaking. The photos perfectly capture the love, joy, and emotion we felt on that day.  David was organized, easy to work with, and made sure everything ran smoothly.  David and the Max Dawson studio team went above and beyond to ensure we got the shots we wanted, and the turnaround time on the final images was impressive. Attention to the small details were not overlooked, so the photos ended up being not only neatly laid out with great pose suggestions, but also artistically stunning.  We would highly recommend David and Max Dawson Studio to any couple looking for talented, dedicated, and personable photographers and videographers. We will cherish these photos and videos for a lifetime! Thank you, David, Tom, and Arthur, for making our wedding day memories truly unforgettable.

We are super thankful how Max Dawson studio was able to capture our wedding day. From start to finish we were so impressed by their vision and professionalism. We recommend using their services for stunning photographs and cinematic videos in your big day!

If you’re looking for great wedding photography and video in NY area, you need to check out Max Dawson photography! They’re very responsive, easy to work with, punctual, and most importantly true artists, with a ton of personality, who know how to curate lovely photos you’ll treasure for a lifetime - including sweet moments you didn’t even realize were photographed! The pictures from our wedding were artistic, photojournalistic, and sometimes traditional posed family photos needed in any wedding album. Their cinematography is stunning - don’t skip video! It’s well worth it! (Including drone footage!) David was our photographer and Michael was our videographer - I highly recommend both! They gave us a lot of guidance, which we needed, they were very generous with their time, and they knew all the best spots in our venue!

David & his team are truly gifted artists. They absolutely exceeded our expectations in capturing our most magical day by photographing, videoing & documenting it as the forever masterpiece that our love is. As a creative myself, we couldn’t have chosen a better team to work with. They are beyond incredible in their craft. Thanks MAXWELL DAWSON STUDIO!!!!! We highly recommend to all searching for the same kind of magic & brilliance.

We were very pleased with the professionalism that Yulia brought on the day of. There were so many pictures taken at our wedding that I didn't realize were being taken. I didn't realize she was there! I was really happy with the quality of the photos taken and we were pleased with the professionalism during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. They were always willing to listen to our ideas and feedback and there were no surprise fees in the payment process.

Amazing jobbbbb!!!! On top of that very understanding and flexible! Their goal is to make you happy and I am very glad I chose them! Highly recommend

David was amazing! He met with me beforehand to walk the venue and pick out the best spots for our photos. Then on the day of, despite pouring rain, he was a total professional and helped us capture amazing photos. He was great with communication and very timely. Thank you!

We received the photos on time as promised and truly enjoyed reliving the moment. David delivered everything we asked for and did it extremely well. His talent shines and technical abilities are amazing. He and his team are easy to work with. David was opened to our suggestions, available to try different ideas and remained calm and meticulous even when we were running late. Highly recommend David and his team of photographers.

David takes creative and beautiful photos!

The photos and video from Dideo Films Photography really captured the love and happiness from the whirlwind of our day. While shooting, David and his team were absolutely professional and mellow, and never intrusive with our guests or bridal party. Most importantly, their humor and easy manner made us laugh and feel comfortable during the posed shots. This was meaningful to me as the bride. You will not be disappointed if you hire DFP!

David and the Dideo crew shot our wedding this weekend at Whitby Castle. They were all an absolute pleasure to work with! We spoke on the phone when booking, and David really kept in mind all the little details I had asked for while shooting. We were running a little behind (because I was too laid back for a bride🤣) and he still made sure to push us along in a timely manner and capture every important moment for us. I highly recommend him for any occasion!!! Very professional and personable .. most importantly he really listened and took his time to capture it all through the lense of an artist ! I can't wait to see them all 👰🏻😁

I can say that from first meeting to the wedding David and I got on really well. He’s professional, fun and very laid back. This company is out of Tarrytown and comprised of a husband and wife team. Our package was affordable and included two photographers an assistant and a videographer. We chose David because we liked his work but mostly we loved how passionate he was about photography. He’s not a guy who pretends to be excited about weddings and typical wedding photos- he is someone who knows photography very well, on our first meeting he spent the bulk of the time talking about his gear and his resume of photography and I really liked that. The day of the wedding it felt like we were hanging out with friends. The photos were given back in a timely fashion, He gave us about 1000 photos and I am in love with almost every single one. Creatively speaking the work they produce speaks for itself, he managed to combine photo journalism and portrait, making sure we got the best of both-he took photos I didn’t even know I would want. Trust me on this one and book David and Danielle!

David and his team photographed our wedding 10 days ago, and we already have an amazing album of high quality sneak peek photos. Throughout the entire process, David and Danielle were wonderful to work with. We had several photographers and videographers at the wedding and they somehow managed to capture so many amazing moments while remaining almost invisible - they never got in the way or tried to force guests to pose for any awkward photos. Not only was the team professional and turned out some amazing pictures, but they were also fun! David and the team were so laid back and fun to spend the afternoon with while getting ready. Neither my husband or I love getting our picture taken but they really managed to make us both feel comfortable and we had a lot of fun with the pre-wedding family and group photos. We haven't gotten our whole album back yet but based on the sneak peek album I know we are going to be thrilled with the outcome of the photos and the video. I could not recommend Dideo Films Photography more highly. From the customer service and friendliness of the team to the creativity and outcome of the photos - all around an amazing team.

The team at Dideo Films Photography is amazingly talented – in photography and videography. They have an eye for creative and unique shots that you won't find with any other. The minute we saw their portfolio of work, we knew they were the perfect fit for us. David and Danielle are wonderful to work and are incredibly responsive and flexible, which makes the planning process so much easier. They kept all parties on schedule the day of and far-exceeded our expectations for turnaround time. We were fortunate enough to receive a sneak peek of photos within a week of our wedding and were absolutely blown away. Friends complimented that the photos looked like they were out of a magazine. When we received the full portfolio of photos, we fell even more in love with them. We had wavered on whether or not to do a video, and when we received it, we knew that we made the right choice. On the day of the wedding, photography and videography appeared seamless. Dideo ensured that the music and style of shots matched our personal style to a tee, and we could not have been happier. We've looked at the photos and watched the video dozens of times already to remember such a special day. Use Dideo Films Photography for your special day, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Best photo/video company we could have asked for! David, Danielle and team are so easy to work with and captured every moment of our special day (even things we wouldn't have thought of!). Their level of attention to detail and creativity is amazing! They also produce an fantastic final product! The quality of photos and video is the best in the business. They even worked with us to give us all raw footage of our day along with the cinematic video, highlights video, and photos. So helpful and accommodating to what we needed. Money very well spent!

David and Danielle (and their entire team) are true artists that captured some of the best and most real moments from our wedding day. They're responsive on email whenever you have questions leading up to the big day and were super helpful in making our wedding ran seamlessly. My only piece of advice is to leave enough time in your wedding schedule to let them work their magic!!! They made it possible for my new husband and I to relive our wedding over and over again, which we have found ourselves wanting to do often!

Dideo brings photography to the next level. They bring an artistry, perfection and grace to all of their shoots, and the and the end result is magnificent. We were so happily overwhelmed with our photos from our wedding that it took us months to pick our album favorites because we loved them all. Our wedding was extra special due to their involvement. The team entertwined naturally into our big day and seamlessly delivered all the photos we needed while helping to make our experience fun and effortless. We can't sing their praises enough! One of the best decisions we made for our wedding

David and Danielle were incredible! We loved Dideo films photography from the second we saw their photos and video trailers and knew we had to have them for our wedding! They are the best of the best! We constantly are getting compliments on our photos and our wedding trailer was by far the best we have ever seen! Throughout the planning process they were responsive and always got back to us immediately! We cannot say enough amazing things about them!

David and Danielle are a dynamic duo! They are both extremely talented and deliver truly beautiful photographs. My fiance and I used Dideo Films Photography for our engagement shoot this past June and were beyond ecstatic with the results. They captured moments that I didn't realize even happened. They listened to our vision and worked with us to make this day really special. I highly recommend working with them because they will capture the magic you're looking for.

We love our wedding and engagement photos from Dideo and would highly recommend them for your wedding! We are incredibly impressed with the quality, diversity, and magic captured by the team. We were very pleased with their mix of professional, fun, and candid photos. As soon as we got back from the Honeymoon and reviewed the photos, we truly felt like we were re-living our wedding day which is a testament to the work by David, Danielle, and team. They certainly have an eye for the perfect classic shot yet are also willing to try very creative and unique angles, techniques, motion blur, and colors & lighting. We are waiting for the final version of the video as well, but are sure that it will turn out amazing. We also loved our engagement photos and are happy to have a number of the framed shots around our apartment!

Amazing Artistry, Beautiful Shots and Totally Professional Experience !! David and Danielle are the perfect photo and video team, and their work is overwhelming in its beauty and artistry. HIRE THEM - if you want a seamless, excellent wedding experience with brilliant team members who are really into your wedding. The crew they brought was fabulous, and our family and wedding guests still talk about what a great a job they did, all day, from beginning to end. We loved their commitment to excellence and to getting fun and artistic shots of us in each locale. We even had to improvise night shots and they were all over it with equipment and maximizing the location. The Sneak Peak right after the wedding was Awesome, and we can't wait to see the video and film. Loved every minute of working with them and we are giving them our Highest Recommendation !!! We love you guys.

What can I say about David and Danielle but AMAZING, FANTASTIC and TOTALLY PROFESSIONAL From the moment Cindy and I met them both they made us feel comfortable and in great hands. During the whole planning process they went above and beyond the call in their service and attention to detail. We would highly recommend them for your wedding or any event. Thank you so much David and Danielle for everything!!

One of our best decisions was to use David and Danielle for both our engagement and wedding photography. After spending the day with David and Danielle for our engagement photos we knew we wanted them for our wedding. They far exceeded our expectations for the wedding day. They were absolutely amazing! They were very responsive during the wedding preparation, I was not worried at all. Then the day of the wedding they captured both bride and groom prep in such creative and beautiful pictures. Our family pictures were well organized and gorgeous (we had 3 toddlers in our wedding party). They also captured our ceremony & reception in such creative ways. We also had our fist look photos back in 4 days!!! BOOK DIDEO FOR YOUR WEDDING!!!!!!

Take my advice and use Dideo Films Photography. They are the best! David and Danielle are easy to work with, professional, affordable and exceptionally talented. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. Every single photograph from my wedding is superb and magazine worthy. I literally cannot stop looking at my photographs. I had a vision for my photographs (classic and candid) and Dideo delivered in every way. The cameramen/videographers were unobtrusive and captured moments that I will treasure forever. What makes Dideo unique is that they are excellent at both photography and videography. Why bother hiring two separate vendors when you can hire one that does both better than anyone else. I am forever grateful to David and Danielle for capturing moments that will last a lifetime. Do yourself a favor and hire Dideo Films Photography.

Engagement shoot was fun and David and Danielle made us feel comfy. The engagement shots came quickly. Then the wedding was great! We had a super small wedding and they were able to customize us with a special package as a result. William was our photographer wedding day and he was super nice, non-intrusive, and the photos are beautiful! Thanks so much. We loved working with Dideo :)

There’s nothing more satisfying than a good decision and having Dideo shoot our wedding was the definition. David and Danielle didn’t just film, they produced. We we’re looking for something unique, modern and hip and our expectations were exceeded on all fronts. They’re an awesome couple and it was a pleasure working with them. They totally understood our vision and brought it to life. What really sets them apart though is their passion for their work and the fact that they’re not just picture takers, they’re artists.

I had seen David and Danielle's work in my friend's daughter's wedding album and really liked the style of the photography. David and Danielle were busy the day of my daughter's wedding, so we booked their team. Vlad and Dan did the photography and Edison and Chris did the video. They even brought an assistant at no additional charge. They didn't miss a moment, from getting ready to cutting the cake they were with us all day. I love the posed and candid shots. They gave us a mix of color, black and white and 3x the amount of photos we expected. Guests were coming up to us all night saying how hard the photography/videography team worked. They captured every angle in an unobtrusive photojournalistic style. I also love the wedding video highlights, I wish they had that in my day. In ten minutes I feel like I relived the whole wedding.

Let me start this off by saying how professional and great David & Danielle and their whole crew were at my brother's wedding.They run a tight ship and they are pretty fun to work with too. The photos have been both stunning and creative with some great slice of life in-the-moment shots. Now since I was only the best man, you might think it's easy for me to give them the highest of praise, which I am. But as the recent brother-in-law to a pretty near impossible to please bride (Nothing but love for you Jessica, if you're reading this...) she would have to agree. I've been with her and my brother when they've been looking over the photos. David, Danielle and all of the assistants, you guys knocked it out of the park! To anyone considering Dideo photography and video, rest assured you are working with the absolute best. David and Danielle, you'll be getting a call from me when my lady and I finally set a date!

David and Danielle were great! They are reliable, always return a message, and are really talented photographers. I was at ease knowing that they were there to capture everything during our wedding day.

Rob and I found David and Danielle to be the easiest people to work with. They were thoughtful and prepared for each conversation we had along the way, and worked seamlessly on the day of the wedding. They shot video with a concept in mind far before our wedding day actually took place, and interpreted our ideas for our video in a way we could never have imagined. You can tell how much time and thought they put into their work behind the scenes - we ended up with a wedding MOVIE, not just a video. The quality of the video (b&w to color shots, amazing soundtracks, stop-motion scenes, I could go on!) is absolutely unlike anything we've ever seen before, and we are beyond thrilled. We have also had amazing feedback about Dideo Films from our guests! Many people have complimented some of the “scenes” they saw David and Danielle shooting of us, and Rob and I were overwhelmed with much of their creativity, which has to come on the spot! There are so many moments we can’t wait to relive, and there are so many we didn’t see the first time around, which is why this is so very special to us. David and Danielle are a BARGAIN for the quality of work they produce.

I can not speak highly enough of David & Danielle. They did an AMAZING job shooting my wedding. And my wedding highlight reel came out great. They're a real down to earth couple who loves what they do and do it very professionally. I highly recommend them a thousand times over.

My husband and I worked with David and Danielle on a love story video. We had a tight deadline and were trying to produce news-quality content. I cannot sing enough praises for these guys. They understood what we were trying to get at immediately, enhanced that vision 10-fold turning our love story into a New York Times Vows section-worthy video (no joke, here's the link: http://www.nytimes.com/video/2013/07/19/fashion/weddings/100000002346134/vows-sushma-dwivedi-and-vivek-jindal-.html More than that though, they were a joy to work with. They're hilarious, very kind and patient and genuinely nice people. I highly recommend their services and would happily give any bride looking for more insight further info. My email is sushma.dwivedi@gmail.com.

David and Danielle were easy to talk to, listened, and best of all, provided 900 beautiful shots. I've never looked so beautiful in the shots, and the guests came out well too. They shoot in a very straightfoward real way. My highlights reel is fantastic- 14 minutes of pure joy and fun, with our vows clearly filmed. I got the 90 minute film as I wanted to have all of the long speeches, too (you can get a 30, 60 or 90 film at the same cost). It was beautifully and professionally done and I got the full video in about 2 months. Love it!

My wedding was may 18, 2013 and I've already received all of my wedding pictures, which are beautiful... David and Danielle did everything possible to make us happy, and their prices were great... I haven't seen my video yet but I'm sure it will be just as beautiful as my photos!!!!

At the last minute, my fiancé and I decided to hire a videographer for our wedding. We had concerns about intrusiveness, bright lights, and being on video. After speaking with many married friends who convinced us that we would regret not having a video, we decided to do some research on our options. The first thing that struck me about Dideo was that the clips on their website all looked unique and like true documentary films. We loved their samples and reached out to them. They were very responsive and thankfully, were available on our wedding day. They worked with our budget and went above and beyond to make sure that they captured every moment of our amazing wedding day. We received our highlight reel within 2 weeks of our wedding, which was perfect because we were going through some serious wedding withdrawal. The highlight reel was artistically edited and captured the intimacy of our wedding in just over 5 minutes. The video has brought tears to everyone's eyes, and we could not be happier with it. We received our final edited video about 6 weeks after the wedding, and were equally impressed with their ability to include all the important moments. David and Danielle are true artists and professionals and we were so happy to have worked with them for our wedding.

We had an Indian (specifically Hindu) wedding in September 2012. We were so lucky to find Dideo to be our videographers. I had never thought that wedding videos were essential – always thought they were just kind of a formal record and that I would never watch mine again – but I knew that others in the family would want one, and after seeing Dideo’s website decided to contact them. From the beginning David and Danielle were very flexible – what we wanted didn’t quite fit any of their packages exactly but they were happy to tailor it to what we wanted. They had never shot an Indian wedding before but were very excited to do it and made sure to meet with us beforehand (via Skype) to discuss all the details so that they would know where to be and what to expect. The final edit they sent us does show our ceremony in beautiful detail, but I think what makes Dideo really special is their amazing eye for catching moments that are sweet or emotional or funny and working them into their films. Danielle and David are truly artists and professional filmmakers rather than just videographers. At the same time they were extremely accommodating with a lot of special requests that I had about the editing and incorporating music of our choice – it was very important to them that we have a video that we love. I have gotten so many compliments from friends and family that I’ve showed off our videos to about how professional and well-made they are. These are films that I never get tired of watching over and over again. Not only that but they were incredibly quick – we had our highlights video within 2 months of the wedding and our full edit about 1 month later. Overall Danielle and David are professional, flexible, enthusiastic, and extremely creative and talented and I am very grateful for the wonderful experience we had with them.

I contacted Dideo a week before my wedding (yes, a week!!) because I decided to have a videographer at the last minute. David of Dideo came to my rescue! He moved around his schedule to ensure he could be at my wedding to capture everything, and brought Miguel with him to the shoot to make sure not a moment was missed. They worked within our budget to give us something spectacular. We had agreed upon a 6-7 minute highlight reel, but in the end, David and Danielle gave us an amazing 30 minute cut! We loved every second of it. They set it to music that fits our tastes and really took into account what we wanted in the video in terms of effects, editing, everything. Plus, they gave us a romantic ending which was a really nice touch. And we got all of the footage on a hard drive, so we can really go back and relive our wedding over and over. I can't recommend David and Danielle of Dideo enough!

Dideo far exceeded our expectations in the documentation of our wedding. Meeting David and Danielle for the first time we knew we were making the right decision. Throughout the planning process they not only listened to our ideas but extracted a vision of where we wanted our wedding to take us. Throughout this process David and Danielle took it a step further to capture our special day with style and vision. After discussing multiple package selections we decided to create a “love story”, a short video of our life leading up to our wedding day. We showed this to our guests before our entrance into our reception and our guests where blown away! They captured our life leading up to our wedding all while making us feel (and look) like movie stars. Working with them to create this was fun yet professional video confirmed we were working with a top notch team. Watching the wedding day video was truly like reliving the best day of our life. Their esthetic and style covered our wedding day to play like a film. Their attention to detail, vision and creativity lead to making reliving our wedding day unique and magical. Dideo is not your typical videographer, their true artist!
