Dawn Stoloff Wedding Photography

I have never gotten so many compliments in my entire life as I did on the photos from both our engagement session and wedding. People have told us that she is the most creative photographer they’ve ever seen and I couldn’t agree more — she is a true artist!
It was really important to me to find a photographer who wasn’t boring or predictable and I am so lucky to have found that in Dawn and Pierre! Out of all of the wedding vendors we hired, Dawn was BY FAR the best decision we made. There is nothing corny, cheesy or average about the photos she takes! I respect her style so much and highly recommend her!
Even IF Dawn and Pierre were a pain to work with, it would have been worth it to hire them just for the INCREDIBLE work they do, but luckily they are super friendly and accommodating and very easy-​going people! A bonus in my opinion, because like I said, I’d hire them based on their creativity alone.
My aunt still can’t get over the fact that they basically put their lives in danger by laying down on the dance floor with all the guests drunkenly dancing and going crazy around them, just so that they could get the perfect shot. Our engagement pics and wedding photos are AMAZING!!! Thank you Dawn & Pierre!!!

My husband (David) and I got married in South Lake Tahoe this past August. Neither of us have ever felt comfortable in front of any camera but really wanted wedding pictures that reflected our personalities. We interviewed seven photographers before we found Dawn and she was totally worth the wait.
Dawn and her husband Pierre are not only unbelievably talented, but they are two of the nicest, most professional people I have ever met. Both of them worked so well with our other vendors (including a videographer) and with our guests. They made everyone feel comfortable and uninhibited in front of their lenses (even David and me!) and captured beautiful shots of memorable moments.
Dawn worked with us to find a package that fit within our budget and was a pleasure to communicate with before, during, and after the wedding. We live on the East Coast, but I will plan any future photography needs to correspond with Dawn’s locale and availability — she is an unbelievable artist who is able to capture the beauty, emotion, and significance of each moment.

I almost never post reviews on Unilocal,but I could not stop myself from sharing this total gem of a find.
So, first thing’s first– I think there is no way you are going to find a better photographer than Dawn, so you can pretty much stop your search right now.
We did our engagement session with her and I couldn’t have been happier with it– not only does she have an awesome and sweet personality you want to be around and is totally down to try anything (we did part of our shoot at a petting zoo!), the pictures turned out unbeleivably amazing. Like every single person we showed them to was completely floored, and they loved them so much they showed them to coworkers, friends, etc that didn’t even know us! Surprise, they all loved them too!
We only got married a little over a week ago, but Dawn has already put up a sneak peak of our pictures for us to see and I cannot believe how beautifully they turned out. I absolutely cannot wait to see the rest. The most amazing thing is I have no idea when she got all those shots– I didn’t notice her during the wedding because she wasn’t intrusive or in the way at all. Yet somehow she still managed to get all those amazing shots, capturing all the perfect moments into beautiful photos. I showed my friends the preview pjotos and all fo them are swearing by her as the photographer for their big day– they don’t even want to look for anyone else.
Aside from the wonderful photos, working with Dawn could not have been a better experience. She’s someone I genuionly enjoyed being around, and that made all the difference. I instantly felt comfortable with her– I have no idea how she did it. She was also always extremely quick to respond when I contacted her, always replying to emails and phone messages promptly no matter how many times I contacted her with my many many questions.
Bottom line– it really doesn’t get better than Dawn. My husband and I are already talking about how we can’t wait to have her do a shoot of me when I get pregnant, and then a baby shoot of our little one. We’re planning on waiting a few years, but the temptation of more amazing photos might make us go for it sooner than we thought :)

Dawn is great! We hired Dawn and her husband Pierre to photograph our wedding and the photos are just gorgeous! They are a pleasure to be around and do a great job of getting beautiful photos without being invasive. And they are both so creative– the pictures have such interesting composition, lighting and detail. We got the photos back really quickly and all of our friends commented on how great they are. Thanks Dawn and Pierre!

After searching and researching so many different photographers, finding Dawn and Pierre to take our wedding photos felt like pure luck. From the moment I emailed Dawn, she was prompt, so sweet, and was able to personalize an amazing package just for us.
Dawn and Pierre were fantastic at our wedding. They are some of the most creative and friendliest people ever! We immediately fell in love with their style and were completely blown away with the result. Our slideshow was absolutely gorgeous and the details they ended up getting were priceless! So many of our guests commented on how amazing they both were. Their timing was spot-​on and they must have taken over 1,000 photos. We were so pleased.
We would definitely recommend Dawn’s company to anyone who does not want to take chances at one of their most important events. She went above and beyond, and as you can tell, we are still very excited. :)

I was recently a bridesmaid at a wedding that Ms. Dawn Stoloff was the photographer at. The months approaching the wedding, I kept hearing the name «Dawn Stoloff» come up from the bride to be. Whenever she mentioned her name, her eyes lit up and she truly got excited, despite the ten million things she was in the middle of planning. She talked about how interesting, friendly, and creative Dawn was. I actually thought she knew Dawn previously but when she told me she found her randomly, I practically choked!
During the wedding, I finally got to meet Dawn and I wasn’t the least bit disappointed from the hype. I’ve been in a lot of weddings and unfortunately experienced a lot of cheesy, over commercial wedding photographers. The instant I met Dawn I knew she genuinely cared and you could tell from the pictures she took. A month later I was able to view the wedding pictures; They were in a very classy leather bound book. Each picture was uniquely crafted like its own work of art. I felt that Dawn successfully was able to tell a story with each picture and truly was able to capture the emotion and enhance the beauty of the event.
I was completely impressed with Dawn Stoloff’s photography. I would wholeheartedly recommend her — in fact, I’ve already recommended her to two of my engaged friends!

Even people who came to our wedding can’t believe how good it came across in our photos. I found Dawn and Pierre very easy to communicate with and nothing could be more important if you’re trying to capture an emotionally charged day. They are a very down to earth, professional team. Having reviewed several photographers portfolios prior to selecting them, I have an even deeper sense of gratitude for the results they came up with. They manage to be both classic and candid at the same time. These are photos that we will never grow tired of.
Hire them now.

Miracle workers!
My husband and I still find ourselves looking out our photos in awe. «Is that really us?! Did we really have the most incredible wedding ever?!» Thanks to Dawn and Pierre — affectionately nicknamed «Pappa» and «Razi» during our week long wedding extravaganza in Italy, we have the most beautiful, hilarious, poetic and moving wedding photos I have ever seen. And from all the feedback we have gotten, we have the most genuinely impressive photos our family and friends have ever seen.
This is no easy task, as my husband is a designer and I’m an artist. We are notorious for having extremely high standards and expectations. They not only met our expectations but exceeded them. Just ask to see the photos/​slide shows. They really speak for themselves.
And if that weren’t enough, they were completely professional, ridiculously under priced, happy to do whatever we asked, had our first slide show ready for us while we were still on our honeymoon! and were a total hit with all our friends and family.
This is a couple that came as our photographers, but left as our lifelong friends.
Book them now. Right now.

Dawn is BY FAR the best personality you can find in a vendor! I’ve done an *exhaustive* search for an affordable and skilled photographer for my wedding next year, and have run into all types of people. Ones who tell you to «take it, or leave it» because their price is already low, ones who act moderately professional, even ones who completely ignore your calls and emails.
But Dawn was the only one I contacted who responded same day or next day consistently to the six or seven emails I’ve bombarded her with. And each time a friendly, honest reply to my questions. She even referred me to another photographer when I requested a particular type of equipment. Now how many business owners will do that?
I haven’t even booked her services yet because I still have to review more of her portfolio, but I just had to put this review up because her personality is so AWESOME! If you know right away her style of photography is what you’re looking for, I would definitely book her because come wedding day, her way of communicating with you will be a true stress reliever!
Update 9÷10÷08:
Dawn was one of my final two choices but I ended up booking another photographer because his style was closer to what I was looking for. (And I am a particular person.) It’s too bad because I would have really enjoyed Dawn’s company as a vendor at the wedding.
