HI, WE ARE THE COUPLE THAT PHOTOGRAPHS THE COUPLE!
Dawson with his GFX 100RF and X-T5 Cameras
Nicole with her FX30 Cinema Camera
Hi there, our names are Nicole and Dawson, we've been married since 2024 but all together it's been nine years since we started dating. We began our relationship in 2017 however that isn't really the full story either, for that you have to go much further back. We have actually known each other since the first grade, that was 24 years ago!!! That's a lot of time for one of us to grow up and the other one to only reach five feet tall, where does the time go?
Dawson: Hi there, Dawson speaking. A little bit about myself, I've done photography and cinematography for years but it has mainly consisted of street, landscape and architectural however I believe I am now finally ready to take the next leap into wedding photography... Just... Try and look like a building... just kidding hahaha. If you are interested in seeing some of my more recent photography work using quirky cameras and professional ones alike you can check out my photography dedicated YouTube channel OpossumDawsonPhotography. My cinematography has almost always been in tandem with Nicole, mainly doing personal projects like short films or things for friends. I've also been the lead singer and guitar player of a band for many years and it may shock you to know that Nicole is also a part of that, turns out she's not just great with a cinema camera but also a set of drums.
Nicole: Hello, a small amendment needs to be made to the first paragraph....I am 5'1....I was not in the room when this was written. I shouldn't have left him alone with the keyboard. A little bit about myself, I started getting into editing and making videos when I was a teenager. I would make silly music videos with my friends which are still up on YouTube now for me to forever cringe at. Later in life I took a SFX makeup class which still comes into play with our short films we make now! My free time is usually spent reading, crocheting, drumming, or cuddling with our dog Celeste or cat Caspian. Actually we are usually all cuddling at the same time because our cat needs to be on top of our dog at all times haha.
This was the day after Dawson proposed to me! We were In ocean shores with our (at the time puppy) Celeste, which was also the first time she had been to the beach!
This is us on stage performing, these are actually photos from two separate shows.
We randomly took this photo in the middle of desert with nothing else around for miles. I (Dawson) had the camera on a tripod with a ten second timer and then had to run through these weird sticker things in sandals to get over to Nicole so we could hastily drop into this pose.
