Hello, I’m Chantelle, photographer, storyteller, and the heart behind Dawn & Vale. What began with a simple gift from my husband years ago has grown into a lifelong calling: capturing love in its most timeless, luminous form.

I’m a wife, a mum, and an artist drawn to both the grand and the quiet in-between moments, the laughter, the stillness, the fleeting beauty that becomes memory.

Based in Northen NSW, I’m a wedding photographer who captures everything from intimate elopements to elegant celebrations, always with a focus on soulful, romantic imagery that endures.

Dawn & Vale is my way of preserving these stories: dawn for beginnings and golden light, vale for depth and the places love lingers. Together, they reflect the way I see your day, heartfelt, romantic, and timeless.
