About Me
Hello! Thank you visiting my site! My name is Dawn Castor and I specialize in Wedding Photography. I am backed by over 500 weddings of experience from the past 27 years in the wedding industry, as well as a 5 star reputation on wedding websites and google. I love what I do and want to be part of your big day!!!
My wedding photography has been featured in several magazines and I feel privileged to be allowed to work with my couples on their very special, emotion filled day. I am honored to be chosen to capture this special day for them with imagery that will be someday become family heirlooms and enjoyed by many generations to come!
For the most part, I have a non-traditional, candid approach when I work. I photograph a combination of candid, posed candid, traditional formal shots and of course, fun pictures!
I opened Middle Gray Photography back in 1995 and have worked as a professional wedding photographer throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. I now reside permanently in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, but will continue to offer my wedding photography services up through the Carolinas. My rates are extremely affordable and my results are unique, eye-catching, and memorable. I love my job and want to be there!
You receive your printing rights!
Wedding Day Philosophy and Details: My job is to document your day ~ I don’t believe a photographer should put a limit on the number of photographs that are taken for an event as important and unpredictable as a wedding. My focus is making sure you have great wedding pictures to come home to! I give my couples the printing rights to their images. This enables my customers to get extremely inexpensive prints and allows me to concentrate on being a photographer, not a salesperson.
Every job I book, I shoot. I would never send an “assistant” to shoot your wedding. I do charge minimal travel fees for travel over 1 hour from my location and these travel fees vary based on circumstances (if hotel is needed, etc.). My focus has been in the NC, SC, GA and FL areas of the country, but I am excited to travel to wherever your wedding location is….I always welcome the opportunity to explore new scenery!
I book on a “monthly capacity” basis. This is the maximum number of weddings that I am able to shoot per month while maintaining the ability to provide quality work on your images, as well as great customer service for my couples. Enjoying my job and customers is more important to me than how much income I can squeeze into a month! This means that even if I have your particular date available, I will not accept the contract if I have already reached that particular month’s capacity of bookings. In recent years, Friday and Sunday weddings have gained in popularity, so certain months can fill up quickly!
