Best Vancouver Photographer

Would never dream of going anywhere else for photography! Dawn was our wedding photographer and we couldn’t be happier with the results. She’s super talented and professional, and knows how to pose her couples to get natural looking shots. In addition to our wedding, she’s also done maternity shoots and numerous family photo sessions for us. If you’re looking for a photographer for any event in your life, you’ll have no regrets choosing Dawn!

From the first time we met Dawn to after the wedding, her service and personal touch has been so thoughtful in every way. Firstly, the pictures she and her team took for our wedding were exactly what we wanted, and beautiful. We wanted more of a photo journalistic style; which we got, plus the posed shots which we were very happy to have as well.

A photographer with years of experience, and the knowledge of how to take a great shot, and manage the guests is a primary need, and Dawn has all of that. What sets her apart is her thoughtfulness, care and personality.

We met a few times before the wedding, and in doing so Dawn got to know us quite well, and it comes out in the moments she captured and how comfortable we felt with her. It was like having a friend there, which she is now :) She even helped fix my broken bustle! Post wedding she took the time to review all the edited photos with us, and gave us a wedding gift. We were both surprised and touched.

You should be surrounded by people that lift you up on your wedding day. The process leading to the wedding day and the special day itself was perfect thanks to everyone. Dawn absolutely added to that perfect day thanks to her photography and amazing personality!

Dawn was an incredible wedding photographer for us and went above and beyond our expectations. She took pictures of our wedding in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. On the day of the wedding, she graciously let me, the bride, get ready in her room. She allowed the hair and make-up team into her space and arranged to have food and champagne on-hand. Later that evening, she again gave up her room for me to get ready for the reception. The really amazing thing was what happened when I had a wardrobe malfunction in her room. She happened to have a sewing kit on-hand (because she’s just that prepared) and literally sewed me into my dress! I will forever be grateful to her for that. Not to mention, that whole day she was not feeling well – I did not know this until the following day; she didn’t want me to know as I already had so much on my plate. Furthermore she provided several of my guests and their families private photography sessions at our resort, and I know they were all more than happy with the pictures she produced. By the way, she did these extra sessions on her birthday. I cannot say enough about what an amazing photographer and person Dawn is. She made a lasting impression on me and my family members, always had a smile on her face, and was always there for me, for whatever I needed or whatever was thrown our way. She also took our engagement pictures, so it was nice to have the continuity of her expertise as well. Needless to say, WE LOVE DAWN!!

We loved having Dawn as our wedding photographer. I met Dawn when she shot my sisters wedding she was very personable, down to earth and easy to get a long with. I absolutely loved my sister's photos and did not hesitate to book Dawn for my special day. It was a pleasure having Dawn by our side all day she was professional and a lot of fun. It is clear she takes pride in her work and she made sure we got all the important shots that we asked for and even went above and beyond. My husband and I could not be happier with our photos they are beautiful. What stood out to me the most was her ability to capture those natural in the moment shots. I would highly recommend Dawn. The day goes by so fast and there is so much to take in we are truly great full that we have these wonderful pictures to look back on and remember our special day.

Our experience with Dawn was fantastic!! We're so happy we chose her as our photographer! Even before she shot our engagement photos, we knew we had found the right person. Her style and personality made the whole process so much fun and we were very relaxed, especially on the big day.

Dawn proved to be an exceptional photographer with tremendous experience. From our first look to our first dance, she went to great lengths to capture all of the perfect shots. Dawn fit in flawlessly with our guests and knew how to make everyone comfortable and happy. We would recommend her to any wedding couple wishing to have their perfect day captured!

Dawn is a great photographer! We had a lot of fun shooting with her! She made both my husband and I feel very comfortable and relaxed with our engagement session and on the day of our wedding! We had terrible weather on our wedding day and she made the best of it and kept our spirits high and was very professional at all times. She definitely lessened the stress on us for our wedding day which was great! Our photos turned out beautiful, we are very happy with them! I will definitely recommend her to our friends and family! ??

Dawn is amazing! We heard about her through my uncle, she had done a shoot for his band and she came highly recommended. My husband and I clicked with Dawn immediately. Our initial meet and greet ended up lasting 4 hours and we were happy to call her a friend from day 1.

Our first shoot was an engagement shoot which she offers as part of the wedding package. It allowed us to all get a chance to get to know one another better, and for my husband and I to ease into being in front of the camera. We had a lovely afternoon in Stanley park and we have fantastic photos to show for it.

When it came to the wedding day she brought in a second shooter to ensure that there were shots of both my husband and I getting ready before the ceremony. She went above and beyond to make sure she captured every special moment during both the ceremony and the reception. She genuinely cared about us, our wedding, and capturing all of the moments as much as we did; she is truly an amazing photographer and a wonderful person!

Dawn manages to find the perfect balance between being professional and begin part of the fun. She is incredibly flexible and easy to work with, and the value that you get far surpasses the cost of her service. Most wedding photographers outrageously overcharge, whereas Dawn offers an incredible service for an affordable price.

If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding (or anything else for that matter), Dawn is your lady!

It has been a pleasure working with Dawn on our wedding pictures. starting off with the engagement shots gave us an opportunity to get to know one another and to express what sort of pictures we have in mind. Dawn brought a lot of good suggestions on the table and that is why we hired a professional. The end result of our wedding pictures was amazing and exactly what we wanted.

I would highly recommend Dawn to any couple looking for a photographer with passion and drive as well as a fun person who keeps a calm head on your stressful day

I can't thank Dawn Stenzel Photography enough for such an amazing experience and for such stunning photos of our wedding day. This morning, a coworker of mine, at my new job, was gawking at our wedding photo that I have displayed in my office. She said that it looks like a beautiful fairytail wedding photo and one of the best wedding photos she has seen. I constantly get wonderful compliments on this shot and on all of our photos as I display them proudly, anywhere I can. Dawn is amazingly talented at her craft and we are still over the moon about all of our photos. In fact, so many things went wrong leading up to and on the day of our wedding but our photos make me sooo happy about the whole experience. She made me feel like a beautiful model the whole time and made the whole event feel so much less stressful. I wanted to say thank you again, for all that DSP does to enhance and preserve everyone's special moments in life. Dawn is professional, creative, supportive and just makes her clients feel so comfortable and at ease. Dawn is a true artist! I would recommend Dawn Stenzel Photography to everyone! — feeling grateful.
