    love, love, LOVE!

    Isil photographed our engagement pictures. All I can say is WOW! They turned out so unbelievably beautiful! Better than I could have even imagined. To say I was thrilled with the photos would be an understatement! Isil and Sebastian are wonderful people to work with. They make you feel so comfortable and you won't get the same cliche poses. They are amazing photographers and know exactly what they're doing- lighting, poses, backdrops, Isil even made sure my hair was fixed and out of my face the entire time which was so nice. I HIGHLY suggest!

    We have utilized Isil Dohnke's services many times, for various special events.
    Our company also has referred her out to other corporate events and custom photography.
    I have also worked with her on personal events as well.
    Cannot recommend Isil, enough!

    Isil and her husband Seb are fantastic to work with. Isil is a true artist and consummate professional. They’re also a blast to hang out with! We got married in November so we only have a preview of our pictures but I cannnot wait to see the rest! She takes time to make sure everything is absolutely perfect and holds herself to the utmost standards. Her work truly speaks for itself. She has an amazing ability to make even the most shy person feel absolutely comfortable to get amazing photos. Love Love Love Isil & Seb!

    Isil Dohnke Photography was a delight for our wedding. She was patient, professional and kept us comfortable for the entire experience. Isil caught moments between my groom and me that no other photographer would have been able to capture that we will hold close to our hearts for the rest of our lives.

    Isil Dohnke Photography was one of the highlights of my wedding experience! The engagement photo session was very personal. Isil and her partner REALLY took the time to get to know me and my now husband. They just knew what angles would work best for our figures, and which lighting to use when. For a plus size couple that is no easy thing to accomplish, but THEY DID and the photos were Amazing!! The wedding day photography was extra special. They seemed to capture every moment, and hidden smile that was important. No matter what the crazy demand was, they were very flexible and made the environment fun. The Photo Booth was the topping on the cake. All my guests really loved it! They really enjoyed the keepsake photos, and costumes provided. The album packages were beautiful and they have so many options to choose from. Isil really dedicates herself to each photo taken and can create a beautiful album. I would highly recommend Isil Dohnke Photography. For an indecisive bride who needed so much help with her photography during this special time, Isil was a Dream Photographer!!!

    Isil provided both our wedding photography and photo booth (Charlotte’s Best Photo Booth) and we could not have been happier! Isil was great to work with and knew exactly what to do to get that perfect shot. We absolutely loved our photos and would recommend her in a heart beat!

    Isil and her team are amazing. It’s one thing to have a great photographer, it’s another thing to have a photographer that understands your needs as a bride. She’s so focused on ensuring I have everything I could ever want or need. She’s not just there to do the bare minimum or what’s in the contract. She wants everyone to be happy with the product and their experience. THAT’S a good photog. And that’s a great person. That’s who you want around you on your special day. Someone who cares.

    Isil Dohnke is remarkable in so many ways. She brings a magical yet timeless touch to each photo. Every shot is so organic, you will not get the same old cliche poses. She is very passionate with her craft, listens, truly delivers and is a JOY to be around. My friends and I got dressed at the Ivey’s Hotel here in Charlotte, NC and our ceremony took place at The McGill Rose Garden. We then returned uptown for our reception at 5Church Restaurant so talk about switching gears! Isil and her hubby Sebby did not skip a beat, remained professional, adjusted to all the changes while still capturing every moment. Oh did I also mention this was also the hottest day EVER that summer?! Also, our 14 yr old Shih Tzu was the ring bearer and Isil took the cutest pictures of him from getting ready to the very end because she knows how special she is to me. Isil’s photography speaks for itself but I never imagined a photographer genuinely invested in making sure my day was perfect, she really cares and that’s the type of support you want your special day. She and her hubby are super duper fun to be around as well! Isil and her team exceed expectations, you will not be disappointed!

    Isil is amazing. She captured our day to perfection. She was amazing from the time we started until the very end. They even sent us a merry Christmas package filled with bubbly, yeti cups with out names and wedding date on it and gift cards. Truly an amazing experience.

    One of the best in quality, I have come across!
    There are many people in the world who consider themselves a photographer, simply by picking up a camera......
    Photography is a form of art and Isil Dohnke is a true artist! Not everyone has this natural gift, Isil does...
    She makes you feel special!
    I now utilize her services for both personal and business. She is perfect not only for wedding but also special and corporate events. We also recommend her to our customers, as well.

    Isil is absolutely the BEST!!! I had already had my portrait pictures taken by her and she did an incredible job! So I knew we were making no mistake by hiring her for our engagement pictures. And I was right! Isil is extremely professional and fun to work with. She listens and understands what we want captured and has an EXCELLENT eye for the perfect angles and positions for beautiful and flattering shots. We could not be happier with the way the pictures came out. We absolutely recommend Isil Photography to all couples with no hesitation!!!

    Isil was absolutely incredible to work with. She is very professional and fun. Isil takes her time to take great pictures. She took our engagement pictures, and we seriously could not have asked for a better photographer!!! My husband and I would have loved for her to take our wedding pictures, but our wedding was overseas and it was hard for us to accommodate her stay. We will definitely have her take some great memories from us again.

    I highly recommend her services to everyone! You won't regret it!

    Weddings can be stressful so it's important to find people you know are going to help ease your stress and not add to it. Everything from the first meeting to talk about what we imagined to recieving our photos after our wedding was handled with professionalism professionalism and care. I would highly recommend using Isil Dohnke photography for your event.

    Isil captured our wedding day so perfectly and so meticulously. She helped us think of every detail that would provide memorable moments to capture. We wouldn't have thought of many of them, and are so thankful to be able to look back at those moments with the high quality that Isil and Sebastian were able to capture them. I highly recommend you choose Isil for all your photography needs!

    Isil is amazing photographer and makes you feel like you are hanging out with your friend all day and don't even realize that she is taking the best photos of your life. She is extremely professional and has a high positive energy. Her images are very natural, artistic and has a unique perspective. I don't even know how else to describe but she is nothing but the best.
