Hello, I’m Chantelle, photographer, storyteller, and the heart behind Dawn & Vale.

What started as a simple gift from my husband turned into something I truly love, capturing people and their stories in a way that feels real and lasting.

I’m a wife, a mum, a hairdresser, and someone who’s always been drawn to love and the little moments that come with it.

I’m based in Northern NSW and work across the Gold Coast, photographing weddings and lifestyle stories, from intimate elopements to full wedding days.

My style is calm, natural, and a little romantic, with a focus on images that feel easy, honest, and timeless.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually editing, doing hair, or running around with my little crew, most likely with a coffee in hand.
