Hi! I'm So Happy You're Here.

As wedding and lifestyle photographer, it should come as no surprise that I am someone who loves LOVE. Honestly nothing makes me happier then documenting people in love, seeing your expression of love through my lens, and spending my down-time loving on my family and friends. If I could be an emoticon, I would be a big red heart. This is what has inspired me to take photos.

Photography for me, is a hobby that turned into an all-consuming obsession and passion. For over a decade, I have been taking pictures professionally, bringing a unique and special approach to docment your biggest moments with a fresh and original style. Speaking about love, I absolutely love what I do.

The best part about my work is that I am always learning. I have expanded my vision, my aesthetic and my portfolio to bring out the best of my work, and I am so proud to deliver these galleries to each of my clients. Thank goodness, however many ages ago, I took the Photography Program at Sheridan College, because it changed my life. The amount of knowledge that I obtained from that program continues to support the work that I do today.

Even still, I am constantly educating myself to get that much better at what I do, and I am constantly searching for things to inspire new ideas...I seriously can't wait to hear what you have in store!

"What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that's gone forever, impossible to reproduce." - Karl Lagerfeld

This is one of my favourite quotes and speaks volumes when it comes to why I enjoy my job so much. A photograph, really, is a time capsule. It serves to uphold the beauty, expression and emotion within life's most precious moments, preserved forever within a single frame. Creating these frames for you, brings me a level of happiness and thrill that comes through in all of my work. Photography is what makes me happy, and making other people happy through it, makes me a gazillion times happier.

Every day I pinch myself thinking that I can't believe I do this for a living. Thank you for helping me live my dream.

Kind Words

  • "Jamie is always such a pleasure to work with. She can turn any photo opportunity into pure magic, which is what she did with my wedding photos. I am still so in love with them to this day. She is kind, fun, easy going and so so talented. I can always trust that she will capture the best memories for me in the most beautiful way possible."

    Sara & Mark

  • "We have used Jamie as a photographer for our family many times over the years including for our engagement and and wedding. Jamie is a natural at what she does. While you're shooting with her, it's more like hanging out with a friend rather then getting photos taken. When Jamie has a vision for a photo you know, and the look on her face when she has a creative idea is priceless. The love for her craft comes out in her work. We always get so excited when our photos are ready because we know just how well they will turn out. (Still obsessed with our wedding photos two years later!)"

    Sami & Jon

  • "Jamie is such a pleasure to work with! I remember being nervous for our first photoshoot, but Jamie made both me and my husband feel comfortable! Since this first photoshoot we have trusted Jamie to capture so many big moments in our life including; our engagement photos, family photos, our new home, our wedding photos and newborn photos! I would proudly recommend her to anyone, she truly is an artist with a camera!"

    Tess & Evan

  • "Jamie, thank you so much for always doing such a phenomenal job with our photo shoots. I have never been anything but extremely happy with how they all have turned out. I can't imagine choosing anyone else to capture all of our special moments! I look forward to the many sessions to come!"

    Hayley & Jesse

  • "We chose Jamie as our wedding photographer because of her beautiful portfolio and rave reviews. From our engagement session to lifestyle sessions, Jamie has captured the essence of our family perfectly. When we open our galleries, we're obsessed and can't wait to add to our gallery wall and make photo albums. Jamie - Thank you for always creating a comfortable environment and being so patient, friendly and professional. We can't wait for our next photoshoot!"

    Bailey & Eric

  • "Jamie Dawn Photography photographed our April 2022 wedding at the Chanterelle on Park in Thunder Bay, ON and captured our day so perfectly from start to finish.

    We were looking for a photographer with a modern and timeless style, and Jamie was exactly that. As soon as we met with her she shared in our excitement and totally understood my vision, which put us both at ease as we knew we were in great hands. On the day of the wedding it simply felt like Jamie was a part of the crew, she has such a relaxed, reassuring and warm vibe which is just the kind of energy we needed on our big day [...]"

    Sarah & Robbie

  • "Jamie takes time to really understand what is important to you, and her craft shines through in the final product. A few days after our wedding Jamie sent over our sneak peaks - we were speechless and could not believe that the photos were only a small glimpse of what was to come. Jamie's photos captured our vision better than we could have ever imagined. When we received our final photos we were able to relive one of the most special days of our lives together.

    We could not have been happier to have Jamie a part of our big day and it would not have been the same without her. We will cherish our wedding photos for the rest of our lives. If you are looking for someone to take the time to understand your vision, make you feel at ease, and to capture the most beautiful images you ever thought possible, Jamie Dawn Photography is the wedding photographer for you."
