Reviews

Here's what clients have said about working with Donna.

"Donna produced some absolutely stunning photographs of our wedding in September 2025. Donna even included some very arty black and white shots for a different mood. She also took lovely informal photos of our guests which were beautifully natural and not posed. We were so pleased Donna was our photographer, summed up perfectly by my brother, ‘Donna captured the sheer joy of this special day’. We wholeheartedly recommend Donna for any special events."

Kathy Moon

"Her wildlife photography is just stunning. What made us pluck up the courage to ask her if she would shoot our wedding, was her candid photography of the Bedford Park Concerts. She captured artists and guests in the most natural and beautiful way. Donna captured our day perfectly. We wanted professional photography but not super staged, natural images and almost capturing people without them knowing. She made us feel really comfortable and made the photography fun for all the family. If we could give you a thousand stars we would."

"Highly recommend Donna, she took some fabulous photos of my grandchildren, she has so much patience especially when faced with a 3 year old who doesn’t stand still for long. She captured them all perfectly."

"Donna has been the official photographer of our Gala concert for two years and we have been delighted with the results. She captures the essence of each performer beautifully and she is very discreet so the performers are not distracted while they are on stage. She's also lovely and very easy going to work with - an event manager's dream!"
