Amazing Experience with Dawa Photography! I can’t thank Dawa enough for stepping in last minute to photograph my wedding. He was incredibly professional, kind, and calm under pressure. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. he captured every special moment perfectly! What impressed me even more was how quickly I received the photos within just one week! I’m so grateful for his talent and professionalism. Highly recommend Dawa to anyone looking for a reliable, creative photographer who truly cares about his clients.

Dawa was without a doubt the most professional photographer we have ever worked with. His vision is second to none, and it is clear from the care and quality he put into his work. Our engagementphoto shoot and wedding day shoot went flawlessly and couldn't be happier with the end results. Even after the wedding had ended, we scheduled a last minute shoot with him to get some more use out of the wedding dress my wife had bought and he was able to squeeze us into his very busy schedule. Look no further than KNDFotos for all your wedding/engagementphotography needs! Thank you, Dawa!

We are beyond grateful that we found KND Fotos to photograph our wedding, engagement, and bridal portrait shoot. Dawa was super easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. He gave helpful direction to us on posing, and provided so many ideas - we ended up with a huge variety of gorgeous photos that truly captured the magic of the day, and more. It was a challenge to narrow down our favorites! With his vision and editing style, each photo feels thoughtfully composed, effortlessly beautiful, and full of life. Our guests really liked him as well: He was a kind and easygoing presence during the event and everyone felt their best with him! Thank you Dawa!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing varies depending on the day of the week. Since most weddings, events, and sessions are booked on weekends, those dates tend to be in higher demand. Weekday bookings, on the other hand, are a little more budget-friendly so if you’re available on a weekday, you’ll receive a small discount.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I respond quickly to inquiries and usually hop on a call or FaceTime to go over your needs and plans. I’m always available for questions, and after the event, or session I edit and deliver everything in a beautiful password-protected online gallery.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I majored in Fine Arts with a minor in photography, but most of what I’ve learned comes from years of hands-on experience photographing weddings and events, people and connecting with people to capture their best moments
