Our wedding at St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC was large and complex, but Miranda and her team handled every detail with such grace and coordination that we barely had to think about logistics. When I lost track of my phone at 11am on the morning of the wedding, they took care of every detail and contact without me having to lift a finger.

We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

We can’t say enough good things about Seth! From the moment we booked him, he made the entire process feel so easy and stress-free. He was always available to answer our questions and made us feel so comfortable leading up to our wedding day. On the day of, Seth and Sarah were calm, fun, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. He captured all of the big moments and so many little ones that we’ll cherish forever. The moment we went through even just our sneak peaks, we were already blown away. The photos are absolutely stunning and brought us right back to our wedding day! Hiring Seth was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we couldn’t recommend him more!!

It wasn’t just background music—it was a key part of the celebration, and everyone felt engaged. They played every song we requested perfectly and seamlessly filled in with other tracks that hit the mood exactly right. The vibe was always on point, and we had guests commenting that it was the best wedding music they had ever experienced. Beyond their talent, they were also so easy to work with. The whole process was super streamlined, from submitting song requests and details through their app to coordinating with the venue. They were professional, responsive, and just an absolute joy to work with.

MMUAV Pro is INCREDIBLE. Having never had professional services done before, I had so many concerns: my eczema-prone skin, if my hair would stay volumized, if there was experience with a wide-range of complexions and hair textures for my bridal party, etc. etc. etc. The list went on. For myself, Norma DID HER THING with the makeup! No flare ups or skin irritations all day. The natural glam was spot on with what I was envisioning. Linda was AMAZING with my hair! Everything came out perfect and the curls sat so beautifully on my collar bone. The airbrush was super light and didn't irritate my eczema-prone skin at all. For my family and bridesmaids who had services done, they were all so happy with their hair and makeup! Norma, Linda, Omayra, and Chantelle were so wonderful. They knew how to work with everyone's skin type, facial structure, and hair texture. Everything held up so well. From inquiring to the trial and wedding day, MMUAV Pro was always kindly available. I couldn't have imagined anyone else doing hair & makeup for the wedding. They made my vision come to life. Everyone was so professional, calm, fun, and just overall had a great attitude from start to finish. This day was so special for all of us. So grateful for Vicky and Linda for taking the time to listen to all my thoughts, questions, and concerns throughout the way. Thank you isn't enough, and I hope this review helps so many others with similar concerns I had. THANK YOU MMUAV PRO!!!

When my fiancé and I got engaged 2 and half years ago I thought I had everything under control. I Hired all my big vendors, purchased my wedding dress. Then I met Natalie during my SIL’s wedding when my bridesmaid dress was mistakenly not hemmed. Natalie, like a super hero, came through with a no big deal mentality. She quick stitched it right up (5 inches) and I knew right then, that I needed to draft her on our amazing vendor list! Leading up to our wedding we had virtual meetings monthly. Setting the timeline for the day, making sure we had everything. Without a doubt Natalie was that girl! She was so friendly and easy to talk with! One big take away was she is a quick problem solver! Even I f you don’t think you need a wedding coordinator (which is what I thought) trust me you do!! Natalie made everything so effortless for me. All I had to do was enjoy my big day! I will forever recommend her services to anyone planning on forever with their person!

It was a pleasure working with Sonya and her team for our big day! From the initial phone conversation, she made sure to listen to what we wanted and came back with recommendations that really brought it to life. She ensured that we stayed within the budget parameters we set by providing various options of things we could do but, making sure everything was still of the highest quality. She even worked with our schedule to come meet us at the venue with samples to finalize all the details. A few days before the wedding we ran into a small issue around the Chuppah structure we chose and she made sure to call us right away to explain the situation, and came up with alternative solutions that did not require any additional charge. The finished product was beautiful. I’m still getting compliments on my flower arrangements a month later!! If you work with Sonya and her team, you won’t be sorry!

I'm Angelica, the owner of Dawnpoint Studios! I'm an adventurous and internationally requested wedding/elopement photographer with a focus on sustainability! Here's an unexpected fact - I hated weddings when I first started second shooting them. It broke my heart to see couples being rushed, overwhelmed, and not truly having any connection to couples. That's what drove my passion to breath a fresh air into the wedding experience! Plan with intention, focus on being present, and building genuine relationships with couples! You should be heard, appreciated, and understood. You should feel encouraged to get married your way.

Read for my true heartfelt experience with Angelica at Dawnpoint, but in short - hire her. This should be the easiest decision you make in your wedding planning journey. I came across Dawnpoint after she documented the wedding of someone I know. Those pictures felt so authentic and real. They took me right to the event and made me feel so much. I knew I needed to meet her. From my initial zoom meeting with Angelica, we hit it off. I said I wanted to get the best views in our pictures. She was on board right away. For our engagement pictures, she took us on a hike. Chris and I showed up in hiking gear with our formal wear in our packs. So did Angelica. This may seem so minuscule but for two people who had never been photographed and just wanted someone to make them feel comfortable and to capture something real, this made us trust her from the get go. Needless to say, those pictures were amazing. We even used them for our save the dates! Fast forward to our wedding day in Lake Placid on June 15, 2024. My goals were ambitious but Angelica was on board every step of the way. From creating the timeline to executing the plan the day of, it was the least stressful part of our day. What I loved most was that she listened to my vision and incorporated it in everything she did that day. I even forgot that I wanted a specific picture of my dress, but she definitely did not. When I was getting ready, she had my bridal party share personal stories of us and it was so sweet, I felt so connected to the people closest to me that day and it helped me stay grounded and present from the beginning. For our first look, we wanted to meet at the top of Whiteface Mountain. This was 40 minutes away from our venue and logistically a lot of things could go wrong. Yet, Angelica was a smiling face reassuring me that we could do it. Everything from asking for us to skip the elevator line, to clearing the space on Whiteface for Chris and I to get our moment. I was and remain truly speechless of how she actually made this happen. The pictures speak for themselves. After, we returned to our venue and without delay resumed with a first look with my dad (which I added last minute and was meeted with so much excitement from Angelica). One of my favorite parts was golden hour pictures. I take zero credit here. This was Angelica’s idea and I am so thankful. It was a truly beautiful and authentic experience to photograph the newly wed joy I felt. This is just one of so many ways in which Angelica showed that she was as present and invested in our day as we were. After receiving my sneak preview pictures, I was honestly met with so much emotion. I was brought right back to each moment and exactly how I was feeling. I am truly blown away because if anyone can get a picture to tell a thousand words, it is Angelica. She perfectly captured our day and was the single most best decision I made that day. Unsolicited feedback from my guests: “Your photographer smiled the entire night! She looked like she was having so much fun!” This was feedback I got multiple times and it goes to show much Angelica loves her job! P.S. Jake, her second shooter, was also an absolute pleasure. Together, their energy was infectious.

We had such an amazing experience with Dean Michaels for our wedding photography! The whole staff was so friendly and helpful both pre and post wedding. We’re not picture people at all and our photographer, Laura, made us feel so comfortable and gave such great direction. She immediately picked up on our personalities and the vibe we were looking for in the photos and captured everything perfectly. She didn’t miss a moment. We absolutely love all the photos and they were delivered quickly and were so easy to access and browse. Thank you!! -Jeanette & Joe
