About Us“Long after the cake is eaten, your precious wedding
memories will be preserved only through the pictorial story of your special
day. And you certainly don't want them to look just like your neighbors! You
want your album to stand out from all the others.
Every wedding is unique, and I believe the photographs should be too. With
20 years of experience, I have created a "photo-realistic" candid approach
that captures the mood in a storybook fashion with limited posing required.
When these candids are coupled with a “sprinkle” of classic traditional
images, I will have captured the day from every perspective. My clients
agree with me when I say my staff’s "female eye" can best capture the
essence of the day. From experience, I know how beneficial it is to find out
exactly what the wedding couple envision for their special day. I want to
build rapport with you both, so we can have fun together creating your
engagement, bridal and wedding photo memories.”
Having provided award-winning photography for prominent Dallas families
since 1985, many of Donnalynn's clients fondly consider her a "special
family friend" and return with their infants for her spectacular children's
images. All wedding clients receive 15% off all future business!
Discerning brides appreciate Donnalynn’s willingness to design a
Photographic Collection suited to their particular day and budget. She
remembers when looking for her own wedding photographer and all she heard was
"No substitutions". The "packages" available were not what she wanted, and
no one was willing to work with her to create something “different”.
That experience makes Donnalynn very eager to help client’s build a package
to suit their individual tastes.
