Donna Beck Photography

hank you Donna for everything!

amazing and she captured every single detail of the day.

were genuine in our pictures, not to posed. Donna was extremely professional but also a lot of fun. She was early for both of our times we were together and her 2nd shooter was just as professional and fun with us and our wedding party. Donna kept us on track and captured our day perfectly. We couldn't be happier. Thank you Donna

hout the entire wedding process. Donna was instrumental in the wedding day being seamless and her pictures are exquisite. You want someone who knows how important the memories of the wedding day are and she does. We are so grateful we chose Donna!

rushed and made our experience so memorable. And not to mention our pictures were absolutely breathtaking! Thankfully we didn’t even have to pick and choose through them, Donna gives you every single picture in a link. We had tons of beautiful pictures to tell a story of our day. I literally couldn’t have a imagined having anyone else be our photographer than Donna.

y image is filled with the magical atmosphere of our wedding.

ghout the whole wedding. After our first face to face meeting with Donna, my now husband and I were so excited by how great she was, we forgot about talking with anyone else. She is so nice and has such a calming vibe about her. On top of that, she was professional and quickly responded to any questions we had. Donna and her 2nd shooter Katie photographed our October wedding. On our wedding day, Donna and Katie did a phenomenal job interacting with our family and friends. The photos were BEAUTIFUL and had some stunningly creative pictures in addition to the more standard shots. I can’t say enough good things about working with Donna. Donna was by far our favorite vendor and we highly recommend her!

their wedding a few months prior, so we got to see them in action prior to our own wedding. Throughout all our experiences with Donna she was commanding but cool, relaxed, professional and both her and her assistant have a great sense of humor to make their clients feel comfortable. We felt like we were hanging out with good friends by the time we got to the wedding, it was such a relief to have people we really liked sharing in our special day! Our wedding pictures are a perfect testament to her style and quality of work. Our friends and family cannot stop raving about how beautiful and natural our wedding photos came out. Nothing posed or fake, just precious moments caught by a true artist. We could not have been more pleased to work with Donna and to recommend her from now on to everyone we know!

ons to us, and provided us with a sample photo album that would be delivered to us after our wedding. Donna is very organized and responds quickly. Our engagement and wedding photos were gorgeous. There are plenty of pictures to choose from! I, the bride, even did family photos with her, and have recommended her to other couples who have absolutely enjoyed her work. There’s no need for a videographer with Donna; our wedding day was well captured! We will continue to use her in the future!

our family have her as the engagement and wedding photographer. We all fell in love with her work— top notch quality that won’t cripple your budget. She works well with vendors and she is so flexible. She has an artistic eye and possesses the knack of capturing those little moments that you might have missed. It’s hard to see and enjoy everything on your wedding day. Her photos are amazing. With Donna’s talent and timing, I saw all the little nuances that made my wedding even more special.

out fantastic. She is reasonably priced and has great communication skills. I highly recommend her!

e wanted, showed up early, and captured every single part of the day—from detail shots of the venue and getting ready, to bridal party, ceremony, and dancing pictures. My husband and I are extremely awkward in front of cameras, but you would never know it because of how comfortable she made us. Our pictures turned out wonderfully and I am so glad we found her!

ing photos - WOW! She captured the big moments, little moments, and everything in between. She consulted with me before the wedding to makes sure I gave her list of everything I wanted photos of, she gave me that and so much more. She also made me feel at ease and my guests loved her!! She also did our engagement shoot - which was so magical! You won't go wrong with Donna. She made captures all the magic and more!

g. The photos turned out amazing! I would recommend Donna to anyone who needs a photographer. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future (hopefully maternity and newborn photos!)

olution. One of the many things that we loved about Donna is how she wanted to get to know us personally and didn't treat us as if we were another paying customer. On the day of our wedding Donna showed up early to set up to make sure everything was working properly and was also very time oriented/organized. She was able to work with our other vendors and even helped out to make sure that our day went smooth. Donna is super friendly and we honestly wouldn't have chosen another photographer to take such amazing pictures on our special day!

n too whether it is email or phone. Very important with so many moving parts of wedding planning! Our wedding was only 1 week ago so we haven't got to see our pictures yet but I can only imagine how beautiful they will be. Thank you, Donna for all of your amazing work!

apher that you can depend on to capture the perfect day is a HUGE undertaking. In my experience, I could not ask for a better photographer! Donna (and her second shooter Katie) were absolutely perfect. From the first day we met her until the actual wedding day, my husband and I felt totally comfortable with her. I corresponded with Donna in the months leading up to the wedding and she was always responsive. She requested I provide her with a list of shots that I had to have, and the day of the wedding, she went down the list and she made sure we got every shot I wanted. She guided us through all of the poses and even helped with how to cut the cake! She got us our pictures within a few weeks of the wedding and there was not one picture that we didn't like. She did a great job editing them and cutting them down to the best shots. Our experience with Donna could not have been better. If you are in the Sacramento area or in the Bay Area and need a photographer, DONNA BECK IS PERFECT. I 100% recommend Donna Beck Photography!

ward to my own experience. Donna is AMAZING. She was very flexible on working on our contract. Never once I felt pressured to commit. She was on point on the communication, replies and answer my inquiries right away. Day off the wedding went without a hitch. She's very professional yet she has that very approachable aura. She led the day with confidence that made me feel relaxed and secured. She was able to capture all intimate and tender moments of my wedding. There are a lot of options out there, people nowadays can purchase a DSLR and call themselves a photographer. But few who are experienced, talented and passionate on their craft. Thank you Donna for a wonderful experience.

or. I researched so many dozens of photographers, I stopped counting early on. We wanted to invest in someone with breathtaking, magazine-level quality, but they all seemed to charge an arm and a leg. We are so grateful to have found Donna, who's truly exceptional: she offers top-notch quality, but with reasonable prices. When you meet her, too, you can absolutely tell that she does it out of passion, not for the money! From day one, Donna was a pure joy to work with. She is so genuine and friendly, and her depth of knowledge and experience (not to mention her artistic eye!) is incredible. She had fantastic suggestions for scheduling/timing, individual shots, and exactly where to take the best pictures around our venue. Throughout the whole day itself, she was calm (and calming for everyone around her), cheerful, efficient, flexible, and helpful with everything, not just the photography. Most importantly, her photos are BREATHTAKING!! Our wedding day felt so magical to us, we didn't think any photos could capture that feeling - but Donna's did. The incredible lighting, vibrant colors, genuine expressions, and precious moments that she caught... wow. The results she gave us are truly magical. We just can't find anything negative to say about her, and we cannot possibly recommend her more highly!!

th us within our budget. I highly recommend using her for any occasion! We are looking forward to working with her for family sessions for years to come!

ed with her. She is worth every penny!!

Donna's shots are unique, she has an eye for the most amazing details of every special occasion. She is a true artist, and her photo books are unbelievable! Donna captured our Flower Farm Inn wedding on May 11, 2013, it was an honor to have the best of the best on our special day. Worth every penny and more. Donna Beck Photography deserves 10 stars!

She got back to me within the hour and she knew just what questions to ask to make our session special. After helping us figure out what kind of location we would be interested in, she suggested a number of venues to choose from, (thank goodness, because even though I've lived in the area for years I had no idea where to go to get that beautiful backdrop for our pictures!). The day of our session, Donna was even more wonderful. Her warm, professional disposition put both my fiancé and I at ease. Donna got us the proofs in about a week and the pictures were amazing! For a girl who always said she wasn't photogenic, that's saying something! I can't think of anyone better to capture those magical moments on your wedding day then Donna.

and so reasonably priced!! She was able to capture the ambiance and emotion of our events. The pictures were amazing and photo montage video brought tears to our eyes and to our friends who go to view it on Facebook. Donna created fun spontaneous pics at the ceremonies and receptions. She is truly amazing and her work really speaks for itself. You will not be disappointed!!

uly captured the moment. Going through the pictures of my wedding you can really get all those amazing feelings back! Donna has a great talent for capturing the shots that, no matter how many times you look through your photos, they make your heart skip a beat, or bring a happy tear to your eye. We LOVED working with Donna, she's fun, full of ideas, professional, and simply wonderful at what she does. I will definitely work with her again and have already and will continue to recommend her to any and all. Thank you Donna!!

dding--she was incredibly helpful throughout the process of planning and exceeded all of my expectations in terms of organization the day of the event. I look forward to seeing the photos but can't imagine they'll be anything less than amazing :-)

uld recommend her to anyone!!

table and unforgettable! I HIGHLY recommend!

mins late. Donna was so patient and greeted us as if we were 15 minutes early!! She has a lot of passion and eye for the creative. I could go on...She literally holds an artful weapon shooting nothing but love...Thanks Donna!!!!

ve and beyond my expectations. Whenever I had a question, she was so quick to respond, even the day before my wedding when I was freaking out about last minute details. She was great at calming my nerves. She even helped me with other aspects of my wedding by giving me ideas about things that she has seen before. There are so many good things that I could say about Donna but I would be typing for hours! She definitely made my day amazing!

tistic, and simply a delight to work with. She's extremely accommodating and flexible - and really worked with us to meet all our goals with our photo sessions. She's a easy going, warm person - which is important when you're hiring a photographer for important life events. And most importantly, her photos are BEAUTIFUL. I would highly recommend her to everyone!!! You will not be disappointed. The photos from both our wedding and newborn session are AMAZING. We plan to use Donna for our photography needs for years to come.

oto fears. We had done other engagement photos, but they were nothing compared to how AMAZING they were when Donna did them. We were so shocked with how prefect our photo shot went and turned out. Donna had even more ideas when we arrived at our session than on the phone. She is so creative and fun. She made sure that every photo was picture perfect. Donna helped me postion my hair and dress to make sure the lighting was just right. I would definately recommend Donna to friends, family and any one that wants amazing pictures done. I feel we got more then what we paid for Donna went above and beyond what a normal photographer would have.

was a welcomed change of pace. We just received all of our photos from Donna and we are blown away!! The photos are beautiful and stunning, of excellent quality, and very creative. She captured the essence of our day perfectly! We will recommend her to all family and friends. Look no further!!

3 hours. She had already looked up the place I had in mind for the e-session and our wedding location. She kept in constant contact with us up till the e-session, asking about our wants and our style as a couple. She even offered us some wardrobe suggestions. The day of the e-session came and it looked like it might rain. Donna checked the weather regularly that morning and had some alternatives in case it did rain. Luckily it didnt and we had a FABULOUS session with her. She made us feel instantly at ease. Not only was Donna a pleasure to work with, but the pictures were just beautiful. She did some artistic shots and some "meat and potato" shots. It was the perfect balance. I posted some on Facebook and immediately the compliments came pouring in. They were amazing. My fiance and I looked at each other about 1 minute after getting in the car and said "I love her" and we knew we wanted her for the wedding. No discussion needed. The morning of our wedding Donna and her second shooter Coree (LOVED HER!) showed up at our hotel room right on schedule. They began shooting and were able to capture some really intimate moments without being intrusive. Donna set us up for a few pictures but a lot of times she just let us do our own thing and snapped away. Our wedding day was hotter then heck and I was so sweaty but somehow, Donna made standing out in the sun taking pictures seem fun! The saintly woman put us in the shade for as many pictures as she could. Did I mention I love her? At the wedding she was just the sweetest ever. She was charming and engaging with oyr guests and took the shots that my guests requested while still maintaining her focus on my husband and I. She and Coree also set up a photobooth which was a BLAST! Everyone loved it. When it was time for Donna to leave I was actually sad to see her go. She's that awesome. We got our pictures back in under 2 weeks. Everyone was amazed at how quickly we got them. I cried when I saw how beautiful they were. Donna told a wonderful story with her photos. It was my fairytale story. Donna even organized the pictures in order. She is such an artist. She's one of those people that does what she does for the love of the craft, not for the business. Do yourself a favor and hire Donna for your photo needs. You wont be sorry. Thank you for all you do Donna. Rosanna & Josh

had horrible pictures and a horrible experience with them. We knew we were going to have a Mainland Reception and my mother found Donna and Donna was our Angel in disguise. She felt so badly about our experience that she was willing to meet with us and share her talent with us.Donna has a heart of gold! She not only took care of us and had so much patience, she is Excellent at what she does. She is really amazing. You have to see her work and you need to use her because if i would have known about her before i got married i would have had to take her with us because her skills are amazing. You could not go wrong with using Donna. She is patient, sweet, kind, caring, respectful, wants to do what you would like and shares her creativity as well. She is very creative. Her pictures turned out amazing!!You just have to use Donna she is Fabulous!!!

e are thrilled we chose Donna. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful! She has exceeded our expectations in every way. "Thank you Donna, I am forever grateful". I know years from now when I look back at my pictures I will remember how glad I am to have had one of the best photographers in Northern California.

ot and immediately fell in love with her as a person and a photographer. She is very sweet and caring, and really took the time learn what our style was. Donna is very creative and knows just the right angles to take the pictures. Once we received our engagement pictures we knew we were in good hands for the wedding day. During our wedding day she showed up early and stayed later than was planned. She made sure to get pictures of everything from start to finish. Every picture Donna took turned out amazing and I would strongly recommend her to anyone who does not want to be disappointed.

d speaking with her in person. Not only was she extremely friendly but she put in that added time and effort to understand us as a couple.   How did we meet?   What's our sense of style - playful, classy, etc?  And she wanted to know all about our big day.  She talked about her passion for photography with so much conviction that I knew I had made the right choice. Donna photographed us for both our engagement pictures as well as the day of the wedding. Because I could go on and on about why I loved working with Donna, the output itself speaks louder than words.  Donna created a guest book with our engagement photos that was a total hit at the wedding and something I will cherish forever, filled with comments and thoughts from our guests.  My wedding photos created a stir amongst my family and friends once they were posted - all positive reviews of course but hearing the cries of excitement from single women with no intentions of getting married to suddenly wanting to walk down the aisle after having seen my photos is extremely flattering.  All in all, Donna Beck is professional, resourceful with feedback and ideas, quick with her photo delivery, and readily available for questions. More importantly she has a phenomenal eye for creative photography that's unique and helps to distinguish her individualism as a photographer. I am a huge fan of Donna's work and would recommend her in a heartbeat!

, talented, and fun! I can't say enough good things about her.
