    Donna was great to work with and I recommend her highly

    Look no further, you have found your photographer!

    Finding a photographer to document our day was tough. Luckily we found Donna. She is truly an artist with the camera. All of her equipment is cutting edge and she captures beautiful moments that translate beautifully on paper and screen. (which is important these days since often we are sharing photos from our phone!)

    Donna took the time to chat with me before the wedding to understand what I was looking for.. The days leading up to the wedding he checked in to make sure she had all of the information needed.

    Very professional and respectful from the first moment we met to not being in the way during the ceremony!

    Thank you Donna!

    Can't say enough good things!

    I couldn't imagine working with a better photographer than Donna and her team! My husband and I weren't really sure where to start. We didn't think engagement/wedding photos would really be able to capture "us." Donna did. The photos are more beautiful than I dared to dream of. And they are so completely representative of our style. Donna captured the more serious/romantic side, the silly goofy side, and the candid moments you want to remember. We had a very small wedding (19 people) and having Donna around was so easy and comfortable. She showed such kindness and respect in honoring my husband's parents who have passed, and in photographing family heirloom/traditions. I wish I could say more amazing things about working with Donna but her work speaks better than I ever could. I am so grateful to her for being part of our special day and the memories she has given us.

    Donna Beck Photography's reply:

    Odessa! You just made my week...thank you so much for those kind words! I had THE BEST time working with you both, you made my job easy. Thank you again! :)

    We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos!

    Once we secured our venue, the phone call to Donna was the first I made. Having seen her previous work and knowing her personally, I had no doubt that she would capture our wedding day just the way I envisioned. We were thrilled with our photos and would highly recommend Dona to anyone.

    Donna Beck Photography's reply:

    Alisa! Thank you so much for your review. It was a total honor to work with you and Roy...it was such a special day and still one of my favorite vows I have heard. You guys rock!

    Donna is the BEST!

    Donna was wonderful for our engagement photos and wedding! For two people who never get pictures taken, she made us feel comfortable and gave us great direction. We felt like we were genuine in our pictures, not to posed. Donna was extremely professional but also a lot of fun. She was early for both of our times we were together and her 2nd shooter was just as professional and fun with us and our wedding party. Donna kept us on track and captured our day perfectly. We couldn't be happier. Thank you Donna

    Donna Beck Photography's reply:

    Your wedding day was amazing...I just loved how everyone was so excited, so supportive and all in. So many hugs, happy tears and memories made and I was honored to be the one to capture them for you!

    We cannot thank you enough Donna

    The easiest decision of our wedding was made when Donna was recommended to us.

    Her passion, enthusiasm and absolutely stunning photos made the decision a simple one. Knowing that we had Donna taking so much care documenting our wedding day in the amazing way she does really took the pressure off.

    With her wealth of knowledge, incredible eye for detail and friendly and approachable disposition we had rave reviews both on the day and afterwards from our guests and bridal party. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with a smile.

    It really felt like we had another friend there with us throughout all of the crazy wedding planning and on the big day. We can't recommend Donna highly enough; going above and beyond, she is the woman you NEED behind the lens.

    Donna Beck Photography's reply:

    Sam it was so fun working with you and Tracy. I enjoyed it and it always makes my day to hear from my brides and grooms. I loved working with you both, it was such a great day!!

    Best of the best!

    We had looked for different photographer and planned on “interviewing” a couple before deciding on which one. After all, this person will be with you, your friends and family throughout the whole wedding. After our first face to face meeting with Donna, my now husband and I were so excited by how great she was, we forgot about talking with anyone else. She is so nice and has such a calming vibe about her. On top of that, she was professional and quickly responded to any questions we had. Donna and her 2nd shooter Katie photographed our October wedding. On our wedding day, Donna and Katie did a phenomenal job interacting with our family and friends. The photos were BEAUTIFUL and had some stunningly creative pictures in addition to the more standard shots. I can’t say enough good things about working with Donna. Donna was by far our favorite vendor and we highly recommend her!

    Donna Beck Photography's reply:

    You know I remember our meeting so well and you guys leaving our meeting and crossing my fingers you'd call back with a yes! I really loved working with you both. We had an amazing time with your friends and family!

    Donna was incredible to work with and I would recommend her to any bride who wants to have a stress free day with a photographer who knows best and can provide beautiful memories for years to come.

    Donna Beck Photography's reply:

    Thank you Amanda! We had such a great time capturing memories for you and Matt. And Matt's serenade to you was one of my all time favorite moments EVER! Thanks for letting us being a part of your big day.

    Donna is the best! I am so happy we picked her to be our wedding photographer. She was extremely responsive throughout the entire process and we couldn’t be happier about everything. The photos turned out amazing! I would recommend Donna to anyone who needs a photographer. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future (hopefully maternity and newborn photos!)

    Donna Beck Photography's reply:

    Danielle it was amazing to work with you and Tyler. I just love the Flower Farm and you two rocked every detail about it! Thanks so much for picking us to work with you, we loved every single moment of it!

    I cannot say enough about how happy we were to have Donna as our photographer. We knew from the moment we met with her that she was the one. She was warm, calm, engaging - just what you want on your big day. The communication before the wedding was great and the photography went smoothly before, during, and after our wedding. Our photos are beautiful and she was able to capture both the scripted moments that we knew we wanted as well as those candid moments we would have otherwise missed. To top it off, many of our guests remarked how professional and knowledge Donna was during the event. You won’t be disappointed.

    Donna Beck Photography's reply:

    Christie! You are Brad were just so great to work with and watching you both together just brought...and still brings...a HUGE smile to my face. You belong together...and having a wedding reception at the Library was so perfectly fit for you both. Such an awesome day...

    Absolutely loved working with Donna! All 3 brides in our family have her as the engagement and wedding photographer. We all fell in love with her work— top notch quality that won’t cripple your budget. She has an artistic eye and possesses the knack of capturing those little moments that you might have missed. It’s hard to see and enjoy everything on your wedding day. Her photos are amazing. With Donna’s talent and timing, I saw all the little nuances that made my wedding even more special.

    Donna Beck Photography's reply:

    Apryl, working with you and your sweet sisters was more than an honor for me. I just love your family and celebrating each of your weddings is truly moments I will always treasure! Congrats to you and Michael...your wedding at the Lighthouse was so beautiful!

    Oh my gosh, Donna is AMAZING! We were lucky enough to have been introduced to Donna three years ago at my sister's wedding. Donna went on to photograph my sister's maternity photos, my nephew's newborn photos, and a variety of their family photos. Her pictures were always so natural, beautiful, and captured their personalities perfectly! When we were looking for a photographer for our own wedding, no one else crossed our mind! We reached out to Donna to discuss our out of town venue, as well as our popular date (smack in the middle of wedding season). Donna was SO helpful, informative, and flexible with our budget and planning! Our outdoor engagement session ended up being rescheduled twice due to weather, and Donna was ALWAYS honest, open, and proactive with communication. She always offered alternatives and ideas to work around the weather, but always made sure that we knew we could make the final decision. We did decide to wait for agreeable weather, and we were not left disappointed! Donna was great with artistic ideas, and made us feel so comfortable being in front of the camera (which we are usually NOT!). All in all, I cannot say enough great things about our experience with Donna, and I am so happy we chose her to capture the memories we will cherish forever. If you are in the market for a photographer, I highly recommend Donna, and I'm sure we will be contacting her to capture future memories as Mr. & Mrs. :)

    Donna Beck is very professional, her work is high quality, and her customer service is the best out there! When ever we had a question or concern, she was quick to respond with a solution. One of the many things that we loved about Donna is how she wanted to get to know us personally and didn't treat us as if we were another paying customer. On the day of our wedding Donna showed up early to set up to make sure everything was working properly and was also very time oriented/organized. She was able to work with our other vendors and even helped out to make sure that our day went smooth. Donna is super friendly and we honestly wouldn't have chosen another photographer to take such amazing pictures on our special day!

    Donna Beck and I had chemistry from the start! She took the time to get to know my husband, then fiancé, and I months before our wedding day. She was attentive, thoughtful, responsive, and comforting. We had a few hiccups with the weather for our engagement shoot, but she assured me that all would be ok - and it WAS! Her photography eye is AMAZING and my entire wedding party loved her. You won't go wrong - CHOOSE DONNA!

    Like many others have recommended, I was extremely picky with choosing my photographer. This person would create your first family heirlooms with her talent and skill, sharp eye and vision, and carefully choosing and investing something you'll have forever was an essential part of our celebration. Thanks, Donna Beck!

    Donna was my sister's photographer on their wedding. With that experience and after seeing the final results, I knew from then on that she will have to do my own wedding.

    Fast forward to my own experience.
    Donna is AMAZING. She was very flexible on working on our contract. Never once I felt pressured to commit. She was on point on the communication, replies and answer my inquiries right away.

    Day off the wedding went without a hitch. She's very professional yet she has that very approachable aura. She led the day with confidence that made me feel relaxed and secured. She was able to capture all intimate and tender moments of my wedding.

    There are a lot of options out there, people nowadays can purchase a DSLR and call themselves a photographer.
    But few who are experienced, talented and passionate on their craft.

    Thank you Donna for a wonderful experience.

She's got a great eye for detail and we loved her creativity in our pictures. We couldn't be more pleased. She exceeded our expectations. Thank you Donna!

    Donna is UNBELIEVABLE!! Look no further - you won't find better than her.

    I'm an event planner, so when planning my own wedding, I was incredibly picky when choosing every vendor. I researched so many dozens of photographers, I stopped counting early on. We wanted to invest in someone with breathtaking, magazine-level quality, but they all seemed to charge an arm and a leg. We are so grateful to have found Donna, who's truly exceptional: she offers top-notch quality, but with reasonable prices. When you meet her, too, you can absolutely tell that she does it out of passion, not for the money!

    From day one, Donna was a pure joy to work with. She is so genuine and friendly, and her depth of knowledge and experience (not to mention her artistic eye!) is incredible. She had fantastic suggestions for scheduling/timing, individual shots, and exactly where to take the best pictures around our venue. Throughout the whole day itself, she was calm (and calming for everyone around her), cheerful, efficient, flexible, and helpful with everything, not just the photography.

    Most importantly, her photos are BREATHTAKING!! Our wedding day felt so magical to us, we didn't think any photos could capture that feeling - but Donna's did. The incredible lighting, vibrant colors, genuine expressions, and precious moments that she caught... wow. The results she gave us are truly magical. We just can't find anything negative to say about her, and we cannot possibly recommend her more highly!!

    The best photographer. Donna took the most amazing pictures of my wedding even the rings and shoes. Truly amazing. She was so professional and helpful. I would recommend Donna for any event. Everyone who has seen the pictures can't believe how wonderful they are.
