Jim Fender of Fender and Donisch is an absolutely incredible photographer! He is a true professional with an incredible artistic vision. On top of his technical proficiency, he is very personable. We took countless pictures over the course of our wedding day; but it wasn't drudgery because Jim connected with the members of the bridal party and we all had fun with it. I've already had members of the bridal party inquiring about his services for family photos. Fender and Donisch may not be the cheapest photographers you can find, but, despite that, they are the best value! If an event is important enough to require a professional photographer, then why not hire the best? He couldn't be more highly recommended!

After a brutal search of photographers we finally found Fender and Donisch in our hometown. Through many internet searches and viewing many photos we decided to contact Fender and Donisch. From the beginning they were so easy to work with and talk to. Terry was our photographer for our wedding and he was just great to work with! He gives you a LOT of options and really takes his time explaining things so that you don't have to worry about any hidden costs. We planned our wedding in four months and Terry was great about fitting us in to his schedule when needed. Even though we didn't have much time we were able to get everything we needed and more from Terry. Every photograph has been exactly what I envisioned it to be. I'm a very picky person when it comes to photography so to find Fender and Donisch was great for me! The time and effort that is put into editing the photos is really great. Not to mention that Terry is very prompt at getting things back to you. We already have our proof book and it has not even been a month since the wedding! Terry received so many compliments from everyone at the wedding! He was a joy to work with and so much fun! I highly recommend Fender and Donisch! I love their work and their service!

We recently had Terry as our wedding photographer for our September 2013 wedding at the Rialto theater. We can t even begin to say how happy we are with our choice! He was amazing from start to finish. We had seen his work at a bridal expo and after seeing how amazing and creative their work was we knew we wanted to go with Fender and Donisch. From day one Terry was a pleasure to work with. He really took the time to get to know us and how we are as a couple, to capture that in our photos. We had a great time during our engagement pictures and were so amazed after seeing those our excitement grew for the big day! We wanted our wedding pictures to be beautiful and they truly are! They are definitely not your standard cookie cutter wedding pictures, they are so much more. Terry is an amazing photographer and his artistic talent is awesome. Besides having such a great photographer we were so happy we had someone like Terry there with us through out the day. He was such a pleasure to have with us, everyone was raving about how fun it was taking pictures with him. I was even a little worried about a few of our groomsmen holding up a whole day of taking pictures and Terry s easy going personality really helped make it fun for them and that showed in our pictures! You can truly see the happiness, fun, and excitement that was felt by all in our pictures and a lot of that is from Terry setting that tone. I could not be happier with our choice and would make the same one over again! I have also had so many compliments from friends and family about Terry and the photographs! So happy!
