Donna Marie Photography

nient. I’m not usually one that likes taking pictures, but I enjoyed every second when Donna was taking mine and my wife’s photos, she made the both of us laugh and smile constantly. She got along with our families and made everyone laugh, pictures were so fun and enjoyable. She went above and beyond with everything she did. she was extremely organized and detail oriented, she brought a sense of peace to our wedding, if it weren’t for Donna my wife would have been a ball of stress the entire day of our wedding. I really can’t say enough good things about her, we couldn’t have chose a better person to do our pictures.

details for our day. Not to mention, she did an incredible job capturing our ceremony and personalities with her photography. She is extremally talented and made us feel like we were her only clients. We loved working with her and highly recommend Donna!

ill cherish forever, so thank you Donna! She was such a great coach to help us relax and enjoy ourselves. I will probably never forget her having my husband say his favorite breakfast food in his sexiest voice lol. Having never been to Alaska before, she was super helpful in providing several places for photos and I'm glad we went with the river. She effectively communicated with us throughout and sent out several questionnaires so that she could get to know us better. These photos are amazing and are only a few from our sneak peak. I cannot wait to see the rest! Also, check out her instagram @donnamariephotography, it's amazing and you get a real feel for her sweet and amazing personality.

to know them and personalize the entire experience, from naming packages after their pets to offering guides, and being a great person to spend time with while you’re getting your photos taken. We love working with Donna and know you will too!

the full gallery and we ABSOLUTELY love every single photo. She captured the emotions and details we wanted and even came prepared with hand warmers, who doesn't want a photographer that is that prepared?! Seriously hands down the best experience we could have asked for!

ment. The pictures came out more beautifully than we could have imagined. She really gets you to be yourself in front of the camera, you forget it is there. You are just having fun with the one you love and enjoying the whole experience with them!!! She also worked closely with our wedding planner to make our day intimate and special in every possible way. Finding the perfect spot for our special day, the views were stunning and everything we wanted and more!! This was truly a fairy tale wedding that my husband and I could share together. The memories will last us a lifetime. Being on a glacier it was a bit chilly, but Donna was ready to go with hand warms to keep us nice and toasty in between pictures. She was able to capture the love my husband and I share towards each other so beautifully and naturally. I would recommend Donna for any of your photography needs. She really does go above and beyond and even worked with us to be able to get some night campfire shots!!

having a winter wedding with the limited day light, but she has perfect vision for photos using the light available. She has you fill-out a questionnaire that is very thorough, ensuring you get all of the photos that are important to you and family combinations. I would book Donna again for my wedding in a heartbeat, I can’t recommend her enough! If you need a photographer for your wedding, Donna is your girl!

ick-ass photo set. After much researching, my wife picked out Donna Marie, and couldn't be happier. Donna not only helped her get ready on the day of, but kept the party going, along with our planner Madison (AK Wild Hearts). From the First Look, to the Helicopter Flight, to the Hike, the Ceremony, the Picnic, and the flight back, her camera never stopped. We just got back, and the final album of digitals is still being actively reviewed and processed before we'll get a chance to see them, but if the sneak peaks are any indication, we're VERY excited to see what's in store. Thank You Donna!

asy to communicate with and also more than flexible. We ended up having to post-pone our wedding an entire year due to COVID-19 and Donna was 100% on board. Her planning platform and questionnaires are very fun and easy for her clients to use. She makes sure to understand interesting family dynamics before your wedding day to avoid any awkward photo moments. She takes into account any special requests or photos that you would like. She also was very helpful with the day of timeline and the overall planning process. On wedding day, Donna was absolutely amazing! She was running around like crazy (from what my MOA said) and even was texting with my MOA to not miss special moments if she was in the groom's suite and something great was about to happen in the bridal suite. Donna is super fun and worked great with all of my vendors. She was also beyond patient with my family and the craziness of family photos. Donna flew out to Knik Glacier with us and captured the most beautiful photos of us. She was 100% on top of all the great shots. She made us feel very comfortable and natural during our couples shots. I never was stressed out knowing that Donna was on top of things. You won't regret hiring Donna Marie Photography to capture your wedding day or any other special occasion. She will bring a tear to your eye every time with the final product! This won't be our last time working with Donna. We can wait for the next session!! <3 Mr. & Mrs. Lenfestey

sources from places to stay, places to eat, things to do/see AND she takes amazing photos. We got married in the off season, so we got our gallery back quicker than I thought - and she sent us sneak peaks! She captured our day in a way I didn't think possible. She made us feel like the only 2 people in the world and incorporated the smallest of details both in the photos and in her prompts for our pictures. She was so thoughtful (brought handwarmers, leggings, snacks, and everything you may need). I wish I lived in AK so she could capture all our moments.

to photo shoots with Donna as my family grows!

iss photographer!

d we absolutely LOVED having Donna as our photographer! We were not able to make a trip up before the week of the wedding and she was a HUGE help with suggesting venues and being flexible with the location! We would not have found such a beautiful spot for our ceremony without her help. Not to mention how much we are all in LOVE with every single moment she captured from our special day! Every image was unique and MORE than we could’ve wished for! Her positive and adventurous personality, reliable communication and easy going attitude made working with her such a stress-free experience. We will definitely be booking a follow up session on our next visit to AK!

dventure when it comes to her clients. If adventure and fun is what you’re looking for in your photographer and photos, she’s your gal!

a wide variety of props, hand warmers and other items to add extra dynamic for our shots and to help make things easier. I’m so incredibly awkward when it comes to having my photos taken. I never know what to do. Donna made me feel completely comfortable! Her extensive knowledge of poses, lighting and landscape were the major key factors that were able to set my mind at ease and made the session a breeze!! I truly can’t say enough good things about Donna and how incredible she is. Not just as a photographer, but also as a human. I cherish every photo she’s taken of us, and I seriously can not wait to have our next session with her. If you value quality images and a top notch experience, you’ll won’t regret putting your well placed trust in Donna Marie Photography.

ly do too if you wanted to!!), she made sure to capture moments that were sincere and completely us. Her prompts and suggestions brought together perfect moments and memories and pictures that I’ll never get tired of. It’s rare that you find someone capable of making beautiful moments happen and capturing them perfectly. It’s really rare that you get that AND a photographer that’s so lovely and welcoming and easy to work with. Not a single awkward moment, not a single thing I’d change. Thanks for helping us make memories that will last a life time. I can’t wait to see what our wedding day brings 💖
