Hi there, I'm Dawn, a Jupiter wedding photographer! I never thought I would get married. Years and years waiting, watching all my friends get married battling the dreaded "why are you still single" question?!! At 38 I met the man that is perfect for me! He is kind, hardworking and such a great Dad! I'm so thankful for this man and our story, it's my favorite.
God gave me more than I ever deserved or dreamed of in this man so I whole-heartedly celebrate with each and every one of you.
CAPTURING EVERY DETAIL OF YOUR LOVE STORY
One of our favorite places to go is in the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. Look up Encanta la vida-It's our happy place! Surfing, off the grid and the best dang drinks you ever had!
Coffee before talking! Seriously though, my brain takes longer than my body to wake up! So you have been warned. Don't poke the bear!
Current obsessions...
A few that just never get old...
Greys, Station 19, Blue bloods.
NCIS, Virgin River, House hunters and even SYTTD!
I love close, transparent relationships that are life giving. We are legacy building over here- breaking chains of bondage off our kids lives. I ain't got time for surfacy relationships or drama!
I love the ocean-by boat or beach...It's my happy place. Whether here, Costa Rica, Cali or Africa, the ocean, in all it's forms, has my heart!
I have a strong faith and I am nothing without it. I have been through a lot but I overcome.
Without the love, forgiveness and grace of God I would not be where I am today!
Dawn was amazing! Hours after our wedding, she delivered a link with the most stunning preview photos
Riley, our first boy. The original OG! He is a mamma's boy and I am 100% okay with that! He is obsessed with treats, hunting and cuddling! We now have a pup and a kitten as well because my daughters dream was to have a kitten.
In 2016 we adopted our first child. After ONE WEEK and a lot of prayer + paperwork, we were chosen to be her parents! On Christmas day we brought her home! After that, we decided our next heart's desire was fostering. After 3 years this little man is officially adopted too! Although his journey was challenging, God was faithful.
My husband is my life and my biggest support. He is the calm to my crazy. He's 100% the laid back one. I'm loud, fun and passionate. He calms my crazy and I spice up his life. I'm the planner and he is not! We balance each other out.
