Daniela Dawson Photography

Photographer

I've been photographing since I can remember, but started photographing weddings in 2011. I truly love what I do - it is incredible to be able to combine my passion for photography and my love for interacting with people in a successful business venture! I feel truly blessed and am so grateful for every opportunity I've ever had to pursue what I love.

Photography is not a job for me. (Well, it is, but it is fun). It is a creative outlet, a way to meet people, and a way to make others happy. I still giggle when I have to call this "work." I am so, so lucky to be able to do what I love. Read more

    Daniela is the best. We hired her for our small family wedding in Portland, Maine in June based on a recommendation and all of her amazing reviews. She did NOT disappoint. She fit right in during our small intimate wedding and made us feel so comfortable while capturing our relationship perfectly. ...

    Daniela is amazing. She is the kindest soul + captured my fiancé and I's vibes perfectly. I absolutely loved working with her and it's by far the most fun I've had in quite some time! I'm hoping to book some mini sessions just so I can feel like a model again. If you happen to be camera shy, she will give you direction to help capture beautiful + candid shots. If you aren't, like me, she will keep up with your craziness (thanks again Daniela!) and get the shots you've been dreaming of. Love love love.

    Like all the others posting here, I can't say enough good things about Daniela! If you are looking for an engagement or wedding photographer, look no further!!
    Daniela is adorable, super-talented, and very professional. My fiancee and I hired Daniela for our engagement photos, which were AWESOME, so it was a no-brainer for us to hire her for our wedding too! ...

    Daniela was, HANDS DOWN, the best vendor decision I made for my entire wedding. Not only is she tremendously talented, she is the sweetest soul you will ever meet. From start to finish, we were so pleased with her services.

    We opted to take advantage of Daniela’s complimentary engagement session. We met out by Beavertail Lighthouse (apparently one of her favorite spots around town). This was really the first time that my husband and I had taken pictures of this nature so, of course, we were just a little anxious going into it all. Daniela made everything SO easy, fun, and relaxed. ...

    My fiance and I worked with Daniela for our engagement pictures and she was amazing to work with. From the moment we first reached out to her, she was very accommodating. She was lots of fun to work with and has a warm personality. When we arrived at the park for our photo session, she treated us like long time friends. She has a wonderful eye for scenery that provides for spectacular pictures. 5 minutes into the shoot, we were so comfortable with her that my fiance and I were easily able to be natural and this is when Daniela's talent shines. ...
