About Donna Dohi

I have been in the wedding industry not only as a photographer, but also a wedding planner and owner of a fleet of wedding vehicles. Being in the wedding industry especially as a planner gives me the added advantage of knowing the inside of the wedding and to capture those extra special moments. Photos that are easily missed by other photographers.

My approach to wedding photography is to combine traditional skill and modern technology to create for you a storybook of treasured moments of your special day.

I pride myself in building a personal relationship with each couple. This allows me to unobtrusively capture spontaneous defining moments with a unique combination of skills and sensitivity. Telling the story as you lived and dreamed it to be.

My style is ‘Photojournalist’ this is wedding photography capturing moments that are spontaneous, unposed and sensitive to the emotion of that moment. This style is candid, documentary, having an artistic flair in the absence of formal pose. The photographer usually shoots two or three times the amount of images that the traditional photographer shoots. The goal is to capture the day with minimum interference. The photographer remains unnoticed, but is there at the right time! The concentration in photojournalistic photography is in creativity, artistry and spontaneity not on albums and poses.

Have you noticed at some of the weddings you have been to in the past, where the photographers are a little short temperature with children? Well I am the opposite – I’m a mum of 5 so I understand that children can not stay still, that they get bored standing around looking like an angel. Remember children know when someone is covering up moods and temperaments. I normally carry little treats in my back pack to keep them occupied, whether it is a little ring set for girls or a dinky for little boys.

Wedding Photography is more than pictures and poses…… its perspective and emotion too!
I use Professional Cameras and Lenses.
