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!

Wish I could give more than 5 stars because that is what they deserve -- no one compares!!

Ever since I've been a little girl there has been no doubt in my mind who I wanted to do my wedding. Jim Fender did all the photography for my wedding. I also added a photo journalist to my package to capture some of the little things that I wanted to remember in the day. I received my proof book in no time and my breath was taken away - these are not pictures - these are works of art!

I am so very happy with how they turned out and can not wait to see the final album complete!! I would 100% recommend Fender and Donisch for anyone looking for truly unbelievable images that take you back to the moment every time you look at them!

Thank you Jim!

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!

Jim Fender is the most fun photographer I have ever encountered. I could not be happier or more appreciative with having him photograph for our wedding. Not only are the photographs unique, professional quality and beautifully done, but Fender was also an absolute blast to work with. We chose to have pictures shot prior to the ceremony, which I recommend doing, and everyone involved keeps talking about how much fun it was. Fender was interactive, kind as ever, and willing to work with us in creating nontraditional but still fantastic poses. (Yes, the cover of the movie Bridesmaids was recreated). I have been told by multiple people that the images are ones you'd see straight out of a wedding magazine.
In short, if you are in need of professional photos, call Fender. His work is nothing short of amazing.

I was told the photographer can be a key component that makes or breaks the wedding; I can assure you that with this company they will enhance your entire experience. Jim Fender captured every aspect of our day in a way that recreates each moment in the images. I cannot speak highly enough about him and would recommend this company to anyone seeking professional photography. Not only are the photographs unique, professional quality and beautifully done, but Fender was also an absolute blast to work with. Everyone in my family/bridal party keeps talking about how much fun our pre-ceremony photo shoots were (which I recommend because then you aren't cramming pictures in between ceremony and reception) and when other events come up that require professional photography I guarantee that I will be calling Fender.

Jim Fender was our photographer and was absolutely amazing. His eye for a backdrop is nothing i have ever seen. For example we took pictures behind an old brick building and alley way, I didn't even question it because I have 100% confidence in Jim and his work. Those alley pictures turned out the best and they are the pictures I get most compliments on. My sister used Jim Fender for her wedding 10 years ago and had the the same experience I did-wonderful!! I have recommended them to friends and will continue to do so. Jim was a blast to work with, but I have to say anyone in their office was extremely nice, professional, and a pleasure to work with!

Jim Fender was our photographer for our wedding. He had the best ideas for pictures. I have had a TON of compliments on my album. The best part if working with Jim Fender was he was so much fun to work with. He was also my sisters's photographer 10 years ago and was amazing then. There was no doubt in our minds that we would use Fender & Donisch. I have recommended them to many friends, and will continue to do so! Just amazing!! Alisson & Aaron Lang

Terry from Fender and Donisch photographed my June wedding at Danada House in Wheaton, and I thought he did a really great job. A few weeks before the wedding, Terry called me to discuss the plan for the wedding day. He was very concerned with making sure things went according to schedule, so we'd be able to get all of the pictures that I wanted. This made me feel good because I knew I didn't have to worry about things on the actual,wedding day since Terry would take care of it. On the actual wedding day, he managed to photograph myself and the bridesmaids in a cramped hotel room as we got ready. He was able to create great pictures in a less than ideal setting. After that, he was able to control our 17 person bridal party, so that we got great pictures throughout the day. Overall, Terry did a great job. He really cares about capturing quality photographs on a very special,day.

I absolutely love my wedding photos from Fender & Donisch! Everyone who has seen them says that they are the most beautiful pictures they've ever seen! Terry made the process of taking photos so easy on the day of the wedding. He was relaxed, yet precise in all of the shots he chose for us. Along with all the traditional shots with the wedding party and family, he allowed us to take some fun shots that we wanted from the choir loft and outside in front of the church. Choosing which photos to put in our album was so hard, since I wanted them all, but getting the proof book to keep for ourselves is such a treasure! I would definitely recommend Fender & Donisch for capturing the beauty of our wedding day and their professionalism.
