Mrs. Liz DeBord

Donnie was absolutely wonderful to work with! We had an intimate private ceremony with just my children and my husbands in attendance. Donnie added to the intimate feel with his ability to make myself as well my family very comfortable. His sneak peeks blew me away. His shots captured our day beautifully. I would highly recommend him.

Wonderful wedding photographer

My husband and I are so happy with our wedding photos! Donnie was very easy to communicate and coordinate with, and he was quick to respond to emails and calls. We hired Donnie for four hours, and I loved the flexibility of being able to hire Donnie for just the hours we needed!

Amazing Photographer

Donnie was wonderful to work with!! I had no clue what to expect when I started looking for a photographer for our wedding and am absolutely thrilled to have found him. He was super nice and professional which helped put my mind at ease and very good at responding to my questions and communicating what to expect so we would be on the same page. And I LOVE the photos he captured on our wedding day!!

Excellent Photographer & Videographer

My husband and I are so thankful we chose Gray Area Photography & Video for our wedding. Donnie and his wife were so accommodating, friendly and professional throughout the entire process. When the weather didn't cooperate quite like we planned on our wedding day, they sprung into action and made things happen. Everything turned out absolutely beautiful. Not to mention the pricing was extremely affordable - far better than any other quotes we received. Working with Gray Area Photography showed us that price is not at all reflective of quality. We got so much more than we paid for. We will definitely be utilizing GAP for all of our future photo needs. Highly recommend!

Super down to earth and so much fun!

Donnie and Dawn are fantastic and so much fun to work with!! We used them for our engagement and wedding photos. They have great chemistry together and make sure the day is perfect. I work about 60 hours a week and planning a wedding was very difficult with my schedule. Donnie was super flexible with scheduling the engagement photos (we had to reschedule several times and took them not even two months before the wedding) and always responded to my emails right away. He even got us the photos back with enough time for us to use some of them at the wedding.
The quality of the photos we got was amazing and I could not have asked for anything more. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is getting married, mostly because they are very down to earth and capture the moments that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much again, guys!

Donnie did such an awesome job on our wedding photos this summer. My husband and I are not big on taking pictures and neither of us have had professional photos done. Him and his wife calmed our nerves and gave us so many amazing photo ideas! We felt completely comfortable with them from the start and by the end of the evening they felt like a part of the family. The pictures turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined. We will definitely be using Donnie again for any of our photography needs in the future!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
