I can not speak highly enough of dawn and her team. From our engagement photo shoot, dawn made us feel right at home and incredibly comfortable. She is so amazing to work with, flexible to your vision, but also has such a beautiful vision herself. She even snuck us away from our reception to capture some amazing golden hour photos! Going with her for our wedding photography was definitely one of the best decisions we could have made, because we are able to look back on our photos and re live our incredible day over and over. We are so obsessed with our wedding gallery preview and can not wait to see the full gallery. We will be using dawn for all of our photo needs in the future for sure! ❤️

Picking a photographer is an incredibly difficult decision; the person that you choose is being entrusted with best representing one of the most significant days of your life. Trusting a stranger's subjective review of that person/ business on the internet is naturally a little unsettling. Having said all of that, I have to tell you that our experience with Dawn Crane, Owner of Trace Elements Photography LLC was nothing short of phenomenal.

If you are the sort of person that places any emphasis on your gut feeling, or first impression that you get having met someone I can honestly say that Dawn is the person for you.

She is an incredibly warm, caring, competent soul, that reads like an open book. The amount of thought, time, effort, and energy that she put into the photos she took of us, our families, and our friends is evidenced by the quality of her finished pictures.

From the time that we committed to her every step of the way she surprised us with thoughtful little details that went above and beyond our expectations of what quality and professionalism looks like.

If you are lucky enough to book Trace Elements Photography for your wedding , understand that you are getting a person who so capably is able to capture the emotions and humanity of your special day. Dawn felt like an old friend immediately; she absolutely shared in our laughter, the tears, and everything in between and took it in stride.

If you've made it this far then you understand that I AM biased. We got lucky, and chose the best without really realizing it. I think you should too. M & R Hernandez. 9/28/19.

Dawn was very accommodating and thoughtful to our entire family and Bridal party. She took the time to really find out exactly who we were, what our vision was and how she could make that reality for us. She snapped over 6000 photos, and when she posted our blog only a few days after our special day....I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!! I had no idea that the professionalism , kindness and accommodation would turn into exceptional photos I had only dreamed of!!
I encourage you to call Dawn and just chat w her...you'll love her!
