ABOUT DAWN

Artist, photographer, hopeless romantic

When you don’t rush, when you breathe deep, connection happens. There is always beauty to be found, even in the ordinary.

Dawn Rose elevates the honest and the meaningful, crafting images that are as unique and intimate as the love stories she tells. With more than a decade of experience across editorial, portrait, fashion, and fine art photography, she brings a refined eye to intimate weddings and elopements. Her work blends stylised composition with dramatic light, resulting in imagery that is breathtaking, authentic, and effortlessly romantic. Inspired by love stories that defy convention, Dawn captures the details that truly matter—revealing the emotions beneath the surface and preserving unguarded moments that speak more profoundly than any scripted occasion.


There’s a wildness to Dawn's work,
a poetry that’s beautifully raw
yet enchanting at the same time
