    A dream photographer!

    Donna is an incredibly talented professional who was there with us at every stop of the way on our wedding journey. Her approach to photography is incredibly laid back and natural and the end results are beyond gorgeous. For our engagement shoot she worked with us on location scouting and outfit choices, and shot a plethora of photos and we had so many to choose from. The end result were beautiful candid and captured our essence as well as our dog's personalities perfect. We also had the pleasure of having Donna to our intimate "Covid elopment" and she blew away our expectations of 'capturing the day' which was very important to us as we could not have the large celebration we had hoped for. We cannot say enough great things about Donna - she's an incredibly kind human being with a great soul, and the fact that she takes amazing photos is just a plus!

    Loved working with Donna!

    Donna photographed our wedding in October 2019, and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the pictures. Aside from Donna being a talented and gifted photographer, she's also just a wonderful person. She'll put you at ease the day of and is extremely flexible. That said, she'll make sure you get the good shots! I'd recommend Donna to anyone in the NYC area and beyond - she's an incredible talent and value!

    Best Photographer Around!

    Donna is SPECTACULAR! I knew after being on her website for a minute and seeing her beautiful pictures that she had to be my wedding photographer. From the first email sent, she was 100% professional and organized the entire time. The best part about working with Donna was having her take our photos twice! The first time we met in person was for our engagement session, and after that very windy day in Greenwich we knew we chose right! We were a little nervous going into the session since we've never done something like that before, but after the first picture Donna made it feel natural AND fun. It made us feel even more excited to get married and do it all again! We were absolutely blown away by her work that we HAD to incorporate her pictures on our save the date and website. Right off the bat we received so many compliments from her work. Then when it came time for the wedding, not only were her pre-day calls and plans extremely organized and helpful since we really had no idea what our timeline should be, but she knew all of the answers to our questions and made picture taking seamless. Her and Jason were so amazing that I truly forgot that they were there! They allow you to have those extremely personal moments while also capturing the one tear drop during the vows or the dance floor moves that cameras usually don't catch. We still receive compliments from friends and family for our pictures. We would not recommend anyone else!! Thank you SO much Donna for helping make our day so memorable!

    Best decision of our wedding!

    After seeing several other photographers work, Donna is truly a professional that stands out. She is a joy to work with and does a fantastic job of being active to catch those special moments the best way possible. She’s also great at giving you directions like what/where/how to pose if you have no idea what to do. Donna definitely comes prepared and is more than capable to handle the event/occasion. She is also timely with communication and photo turnaround. Choosing Donna to take our photographs is one of the best decisions we ever made and we always think of her when the subject of photography comes up. Ten out of five stars.

    Our Best Choice for Vendors

    Where do I even start with Donna- choosing Donna Cheung Photography is the BEST choice for any wedding! Donna is so efficient and was with us every step of the way when it came to preparing for our big day. Donna responds quickly and consistently, and is just all around a talented and amazing person. My husband and I had so much fun working with her- we felt so comfortable and it shows in the gorgeous pictures she took. Donna also had a second photographer Abby working with her who was equally professional and talented. Donna put my type A planning personality at ease and we are so happy with how everything turned out. Anything we wanted- Donna did her best to make it happen! The albums are beautiful and we received our digital pictures within 2 weeks and albums within a month and a half. Donna was respectful of our religious ceremony and our wedding coordinator. We would absolutely recommend using Donna Cheung Photography!

    So talented! Simply the best!

    Donna did an amazing job capturing our wedding exactly as we asked. She was organized, timely and so helpful. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, all of the pictures came out beautifully. She asked lots of questions about what was important to us, such as details of the day that we wanted to remember. She got great photos of all those things. There are a few things I would change about my wedding but choosing Donna as our photographer is not one of them. My husband and I strongly recommend Donna Cheung Photography!

    Donna Cheung is incredibly talented- Best of the Best

    Where do I even begin to rave about Donna Cheung? To say that my husband and I are incredibly pleased with our engagement photos and wedding photos would be an understatement. Donna is incredibly talented at what she does and was a true professional throughout the entire process. The quality of her photos were unlike anything we had seen before, which is why we ultimately decided to move forward with Donna Cheung Photography. On the day of the wedding Donna arrived early, and had already been taking photos for 10 minutes before I even realized! She was calm and collected even when time began to slip away and she made sure every single photo I wanted captured, was taken. My husband and I did not have a videographer, we chose to invest our money into the photography of Donna Cheung. Our wedding photo's will last us a lifetime and we wanted the absolute best- Donna! Donna's style of photography allows your entire wedding day to be told from start to finish. Every large moment of the day was captured, but what I loved the most, was all of the smaller, more intimate details that were captured throughout the day as well. Honestly, the best decision we made other than getting married, was choosing Donna as our photographer. By looking through her website blog, between the engagement sessions and wedding sessions, it's extremely clear that Donna loves what she does, and it shows in her work. My husband and I are so grateful for our photos, and all of the special memories that Donna captured for us!!!

    Talented photographer with a HUGE heart!

    From the minute we met Donna we loved her. She was incredibly warm, kind, supportive and creative. She really cared about what we cared about and knew how to balance our requests with her professional opinion. We loved having her capture our engagement and special weekend as she was a beautiful storyteller and always knew how to put everyone at ease, especially during some of the most exciting and emotional moments of the wedding weekend.

    She was extremely organized leading up to the wedding and following the wedding. We received a preview of select photos within days after getting married and she was very collaborative when putting together our wedding album.

    I'd recommend Donna to any couple who is looking for a talented photographer with a HUGE heart!

    Amazing Wedding Photos

    Donna did a fabulous job with our engagement and wedding photos. We were so impressed with the quantity and quality of photos that we received from the wedding, we are having the hardest time choosing which ones to put in an album and in frames! Donna was incredibly organized as well and blended in with the event happening around her. We highly recommend Donna!

    Exceptional does not even cover it...

    We cannot begin to thank Donna enough for capturing our special day. Not only was every photo stunning, she found wonderful and clever ways to incorporate little details into all of them. We wish we could have events every year, so that we could use her to capture all of our life moments. She and her second, Rachel, we timely, professional, fun and made the entire experience fun and happy. We could not have found anyone more perfect for the job!

    Donna is incredible and if you are looking for a photographer to capture your wedding or other special event, I would recommend you book Donna! Photography was one of the most important items for our wedding and we did a lot of research to find the perfect fit. From our first conversation with Donna we felt comfortable and looking at her amazing work, we knew we had to book her. From our engagement shoot last year to our wedding a few weeks ago, all the pictures we have received we absolutely love. Donna does an amazing job at capturing the candid, raw moments, while also being the most efficient and organized person in ensuring all of our "must-have" shots were taken. Multiple family and friends commented about how organized and professional Donna was while also being so friendly and kind. We cannot thank Donna enough and absolutely plan to work with her again in the future! xoxo - Julie & Ben

    To me the photos, and photographer are one of the most important components to the day. So after much research, and phone conversations I chose Donna Cheung Photography. Although the wedding is next year, we have already done the engagement photos. What a fun experience, Donna's professionalism and bubbly personality really made it easy for my fiancé and I to relax and just have fun during the shoot. The photos came out beautifully, Donna has a lovely and artistic eye. She got us the finished photos in record time. Can't wait to see what she does on our wedding day, and to have the day memorialized by Donna.

    Donna is absolutely amazing! Is it possible to give someone more than 5 stars? We were so fortunate to have had her capture our special day. She is professional and fun to work with, while also taking incredible photos. During both our engagement session and our wedding day she kept the energy fun and was also able to easily direct us in order to get great shots. Donna gave us a sneak peek of our wedding pictures, and within weeks we had all of our pictures ready! It has been just over 2 months and we received our wedding album, which is leatherbound and crisp - I can't stop looking at it. A lot of time and energy is put into the wedding of your dreams, and the biggest part of it for us was to have it all captured with beautiful pictures to last a lifetime. If you are looking for a high quality photographer, I strongly recommend Donna! I can't say enough great things about her.

    I cannot say enough great things about Donna and her photography. I've known Donna for many years and knew the moment I got engaged, she would have to be my wedding photographer. Not only is she a great person - super professional, quick to respond, and very accommodating - but her photography is everything you've ever dreamed of . Every picture was perfect! From capturing every moment we wanted, to photographing all the candid moments that made our day special, she got it all. Donna made everyone at the wedding feel important and was so incredible easy to work with. We had a LOT of kids in the wedding and at the wedding, and she managed to even get great pictures of them. I don't know many photographers than can get 4 young siblings all calm and looking in the same direction for beautiful pictures. Donna is an amazing photographer and a wonderful person. She will make your day truly special, and in the easiest-most relaxing way. If you're looking for a kind, easy-to-work with photographer, that takes AMAZING pictures, you've found her!

    Going into wedding planning having an amazing Photographer was a main priority for me. It was one of the only places i was truly willing to "blow" my budget on. I did a TON of research and stalking all photographers social media pages. I knew I wanted crisp, amazing timeless photos and thats when I found Donna. She is by by far one of the best wedding decisions I made. The quality of her photos and her skill is really top notch. From the moment i met her in a coffee shop to make sure we "jived" i knew she was the right pick. My husband is a huge introvert, hates having his pictures taken and was not really looking forward ot a wedding with all the attention on him. Donna was amazing at putting us both at ease on our engagement shoot and wedding day, which with my husband is a huge feat. She taught us so much at our engagement shoot that truly made our wedding day photos so much more natural and spectacular. Day of the wedding I didn't have to think at all because i knew Donna would capture every moment and item that i could want. She is a true pro and a great and wonderful person to work with!

    Donna is wonderful and we highly recommend her!! Donna had photographed our friends wedding and we loved the photos and her other photos on her blog, so we set up a meeting with her. Our initial meeting with Donna was wonderful! She is so nice, organized, professional, and easy to work with! Throughout the whole process she always responded to emails quickly and gave us recommendations for other vendors she has worked with in the past. Our final meeting right before the wedding was also wonderful! Donna had created a perfect timeline of all of the pictures we wanted and worked with us on adjusting the times and setting and getting in everything we wanted! Donna was so easy to work with on our wedding day and worked so well with our videographer. Our pictures came back quickly and we fell in love with them! They are gorgeous, exactly what we wanted, and we still can’t stop looking at them!! Donna did a fantastic job capturing all of the important moments of the day and capturing all of the emotions candidly! Donna did an amazing job as our wedding photographer! She surpassed our expectations and we can’t thank her enough!!

    Amazing experience and breathtaking pictures

    Donna came highly recommended by my wedding planner and I know why! Our experience with Donna was spectacular. She is so sweet and a master at her work. We felt so comfortable with Donna and her assistant on our wedding day and our pictures are breathtaking (despite the rainy weather). So many guests commented on Donna's approach - out of the way, but always there to get the perfect shot. Several asked for her information so they could use her too. You will not be disappointed if you book with Donna - two thumbs up from a very happy couple!

    Simply put - Donna is the best. I was between two photograghers for our wedding and then I found Donna on the Knot - looked at her blog / photos she's taken, and booked her immediately. It was the best decision I've ever made. I cannot count the amount of times I was complimented on our wedding photos. Donna got all the shots we asked for & more. She is so professional & listens to what you need .

    amazing wedding photographer!

    My husband and I loved working with Donna for our wedding photography and we cannot say enough good things about our experience! From the beginning, Donna was a great communicator, which made planning our wedding day photography experience very easy. She was very easygoing and professional and put everyone at ease, from our wedding party to our families to our other guests. Most importantly, her photography was absolutely gorgeous. We would gladly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    When I began the wedding planning process, I knew that choosing a photographer would be one of the most important decisions to make. Looking through Donna's website I instantly gravitated towards the simple elegance her photographs depicted. I was even more convinced I wanted to have Donna be a part of our wedding day during our initial phone conversation where she was kind, professional, and organized. We first met during our engagement photo shoot where Donna put both me and my husband at ease, and took beautiful photographs at the same time. On the actual wedding day Donna and her assistant worked seamlessly throughout the day, sometimes I didn't even notice she was there. Receiving the final wedding photos cemented my belief that Donna was the perfect photographer to be a part of our special day. The photos captured moments and details of the day, and I am so happy she was able to capture those memories. Donna truly brought our wedding day to life, and we will always be grateful to her for her professionalism, kindness, and talent.

    Donna and her team were really awesome!
    From the moment we booked with her till we received the album she communicated with us so professionally. She even sent us a thoughtful gift just cause. During the wedding I as the bride got overwhelmed at times but she stayed patient and flexible with me making sure we were both comfortable. Her art is impeccably gorgeous! Clear and fresh photos with the exact vintage style we wanted. Our wedding day would not have been the same without her. Financially it was well worth it. If you are a bride or groom wanting to capture your special day with your loved ones, book with Donna she does her very best to give you the dream album you deserve.

    Donna did an amazing job with our photos. I found her work online and fell in love with her style. From the first time that we spoke, I could tell that not only is she extremely talented, she is very organized and professional. Our photos came out beautifully and we are so happy to be able to share the memories of our special day with friends and family in the years to come.

    Words can't even begin to describe how happy we are with our decision to choose Donna as our wedding photographer! Donna is seriously a superstar and if I could give her more than 5 stars in this review I would. Both my husband and I are uncomfortable having our photos taken and she was amazing at helping both of us feel at ease. Never before have I looked at a photo of myself and thought "wow I love this" but I can honestly say that about HUNDREDS of the photos that Donna took.  She went above and beyond to deliver photos that are even better than we ever could have hoped for, and when I saw "above and beyond" this is not an exaggeration. She offered to drive me the the 30 minute plus drive from our hotel to the venue , and had her assistant drive my husband, so we wouldn't have to pay to have 2 cars take us separately for our first look,  and she stayed well beyond the allotted time we had booked with her on our wedding day so she could get some extra photos of us and our guests at the fire pit we had at the end of the night. The sheer number of fantastic shots she and her assistant were able to capture on our wedding day is astounding, including a ton of priceless photos of my step mom who had cancer and passed away less than a month after our wedding day.  We have over 1,200 AMAZING photos of our wedding day which she delivered WEEKS earlier than the deadlines specified in our contract with her. I seriously can not recommend her enough!!
