    Absolutely amazing

    Dawson and Josie are just spectacular. We chose them for our engagement shoot + Wedding. Having them by your side during your wedding day is something you will absolutely love and appreciate. It is really important to have uplifting and positive energy around you on that day and they bring it x10. They are so organized and professional for the cherry on top.
    Not to mention their photography/videography is stunning… they know exactly how to place you and what photos to take if you’re not sure where to start/pose. They make it a stress-free process. I would recommend Dawson and Josie to everyone I know!! I really love and appreciate their work and helpfulness. They were our first choice and we are so grateful it worked out we just love our photos!

    Highly recommend!

    Dawson and Josie were the perfect team to work with on our big day. Dawson’s work is amazing and his portfolio speaks for itself but what you don’t see is how comfortable Dawson and Josie make you feel in front of the camera. They were both so personable, professional, fun, and easy going which made such a huge difference for my husband and I who were both very shy to be in front of the camera. Dawson has plenty of tricks/pointers that will produce beautiful photos without having you ‘pose’. We have definitely found our photographer for life and I can’t wait to have Dawson & Josie capture all the stages of our lives to come. Highly recommended!

    You won’t be disappointed!

    We chose Dawson as our wedding videographer and photographer very early in the process. Dawson had done our engagement photos and wowed us with not only his skill and mastery of his craft but with his outgoing nature and ability to make you feel so comfortable. When we chose him for our wedding he continued to demonstrate why he is easily one of the best photographers in Maine. He assisted us throughout the planning process with any lighting questions, decore questions and when our original venue wouldn’t let us move the date due to covid, Dawson recommended the new venue we ultimately ended up choosing. During the day of the wedding Dawson took amazing candid video and photos while also arriving with a plan and vision for the wedding party photos. We could not be more pleased with the quality of the photos and video. Again, any photographer can make photos look good but Dawson’s work shows a level of effort and personal touch that goes above and beyond expectations! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who asks and would guarantee you would be very pleased with the decision!

    Best wedding decision

    Dawson was wonderful. He was so attentive and kind. Most importantly, our wedding photos are more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. I am very happy that we chose to work with him because now we have the most perfect wedding photos.

    Timeless & Professional

    Dawson is an amazing photographer. He was so professional and does amazing work. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in search of film and photos for their wedding. Dawson's work is crisp, clean and timeless. I can't help but smile whenever I look back through my engagement and wedding photos taken by Dawson. Not only is Dawson's work amazing, but he is so helpful. Our wedding plans changed unexpectedly and very last minute, but Dawson still accommodated us and our needs. He went above and beyond to make everything work!

    Could not be happier with this photographer!

    I could not be any happier with how our pictures came out! They truly capture how perfect our day was. I love how rich the colors all show through each picture. He was very prepared and ready to capture everything. He never said no to any picture/pose we were trying to do. I would highly recommend his services!!

    Make your wedding day look like a movie

    Dawson and Josie were absolutely incredible! My husband and I had to reschedule our wedding many times due to COVID and were grateful they were able to come on as one of our vendors at the last moment AND flew halfway across the country to capture our day. Professional, friendly and and talented is how I would describe them. They caught every moment we could think of AND MORE! We’re telling you, you need to book them for your photography AND videography. We are obsessed with our photos and videos!! Truly moments to treasure forever. Thank you, again Dawson and Josie! The DREAM TEAM!

    Simply the BEST!

    I cannot say enough positive things about Dawson. He created the most beautiful wedding film for us - it was timeless, beautiful, classy, and reminded us of all the special moments of our day. He is incredibly talented + fun to have around on your wedding day, a great addition to our crew! His professionalism and kindness are unmatched, and sense of humor put everyone at ease! He was fun and flexible to work with from start to finish, always easy to reach, and made the planning and communications process so easy. The film he delivered us is everything I hoped it would be and more. I am forever grateful we had Dawson to capture the facial expressions, details, tone of voice, and smirks from across the room. I wouldn’t think twice about hiring Dawson again!! THANK you!!

    We had Dawson shoot our engagement photos and our wedding and he did such an AMAZING job! He makes you feel comfortable the whole time and he’s super easy to communicate with. On multiple occasions I reached out with questions and he got back to me right away putting me at ease. We will definitely be using Dawson in the future.

    Best photographer I’ve ever seen

    Dawson did an amazing job, he was early, allowing us to get some awesome before wedding photos, getting some different and unique photos that I never would have thought of. He has such a great eye for photography and really produces some of the highest quality photos that I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else capturing those special moments but him.

    Amazing photographer!

    We hired Dawson for our elopement in the fall of 2020. He was incredible! He’s friendly, professional, and helped make our day feel special. His photography style is gorgeous and I love every single photo he took. He was great at directing us and telling us how to position ourselves so our photos turned out amazing. He was the only person present for our special day and I can’t imagine working with anyone else! I highly recommend him!

    Dawson Renaud Film and Photo's reply:

    Thank you so much, Lisa! I had such a great time with you both and am so happy that I was able to capture the moments of your special day. I hope to see you both soon!

    Covid wedding

    My husband and I got married in the heat of COVID 2020. Dawson was doing a giveaway on social media for a free wedding videography session which at the time my friend had unknowingly entered me into. I received an email one day from him stating he would love to do my wedding FREE of charge to use for his website and said my friend entered me. At first I thought this was a scam when in reality it was a dream come true. (A videographer was not in our wedding budget.) Unfortunately our original wedding date was pushed back due to COVID. Dawson held up his end of the bargain and told us he could still do this for us even though the wedding date changed. Dawson arrived early walked around the property and then met with my husband and I to mic us up for our ceremony. He was more than professional as he had to feed the wire from the chest part of my gown down to my thigh strap reiterating several times if I was ok and comfortable with what he was doing which was very sweet and appreciated. I feel that is so important these days being a woman. He worked diligently throughout our ceremony and directed us so well as we had no idea what we were doing to create the most beautiful, tear jerking, memory I will cherish forever. We are almost 3 years out now and I still recommend Dawson to everyone who I speak to for not only videography but photography as well. If I could give him 100 stars I would.

    Passionate and Professional!

    Dawson photographed our September wedding, and he completely exceeded our expectations with the moments he captured. He was so professional and easy to communicate and work with. He was great at keeping the shoot FUN, making for some very genuine smiles. We lucked out with the most incredible sunset, and watching Dawson glow with excitement during those last thirty seconds as the sun went down behind us showed us just how passionate he is about his work. We are still completely in awe and will cherish our photos forever❤️ Thank you, Dawson!
