Donovon Photography photographed our wedding in July of 2011…read more Ted and Sarah or Donovon Photography were very receptive to our ideas and what type of pictures we wanted. They were present but invisible at the same time. We hardly even noticed their presence but they were able to capture all the right angles and moments and our guests enjoying themselves. They also puts their own creative spin on what we wanted to do. We were a little intimidated at the whole photo process but they made it fun and relaxing. When the pictures came back I was amazed and instantly in love. They were beautiful and unique, so much more than we could have asked for. The photos perfectly captured our special day! I would recommend Donovon Photography to anyone looking for not just engagement / wedding photos, but for portraits, family, maternity and other life events.

We just got our pictures back this morning from our wedding a couple of weeks back, and we're…read morebeyond thrilled. The Donovons did an amaaaazing job and made everyone look great without being annoying or obtrusive. Too often "photojournalistic" just means things look staged but corny rather than classic. These photographers stayed out of the way and didn't push people around, but managed to get beautiful shots. I kept looking at pictures this morning and thinking "whoa...there was a photographer over there??" They totally faded into the background, unless they were trying to wrangle ten first cousins, fifteen children, and ten uncles and aunts into one frame (note: numbers are estimates...but they made that picture happen!) in which case they're assertive without being awful. Also, just generally nice people and a pleasure to work with. I shopped around a lot because I was planning my wedding from Norcal so I couldn't meet my various wedding people, and part of my hesitation about using Donovon Photography was their dearth of Yelp reviews (hey, I live in Palo Alto, it means something up here). I hope this helps them - and you, smart shopper! - because I was so glad I picked them. My dad remarked that in most weddings, you get only a handful of really well done photos...and these people turned out dozens if not hundreds. I haven't seen as many wedding albums as my dad but I'm inclined to believe him. These folks are excellent, you will not regret taking them on to photograph your wedding. You *can* beat the price, but only by a little.

I was pregnant knowing that this would likely be my only child. It was so important for me to find…read morethe right photographer to capture newborn pictures for me. I ended up giving birth early and was so nervous to have the pictures come out okay. Kerri was absolutely incredible!! She was so great with our little guy - so gentle and kept him sleeping. She made sure to get every pose we wanted and even allowed us to come back! I was so self-conscious for my own picture to be taken for our family photo (as a new mom I did not look my best) but it came out so great and I now have that memory forever. If you are searching for newborn pictures to be done, just choose Nutter Photography - so worth it!

Kate recently did a One Year Cake Smash photoshoot for our daughter. I wasn't sure how our baby…read morewould do, as she is in a "busy" phase. But, Kate made it so fun. She was kind and patient with our baby and the hour flew by! Our baby had a great time! We originally hired Kate to do our newborn photos last year (April 2020), and unbeknownst to us...or anyone, they ended up being canceled because of the pandemic. It was a really hard time for us to be in a pandemic, with a newborn, as new parents, while isolated. Missing out on our newborn photos was a small but nonetheless heartbreaking loss for me. Kate was so graceful and kind, she offered alternatives and came to shoot us (from afar) outside at our home...those photos will be forever memorable. It's clear she loves her work, but its also clear she is a compassionate and caring human. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Kate.

My family (which is large, and confusing) was in search of a photographer to come to our property…read moreto take family photos. We had criteria, reasonable pricing, rights to the photos, and no time limit charging.... Not only does Tallen cover all of that... They went ABOVE and BEYOND! Right off the bat the inquiry email was replied to with a friendly demeanor. No cut and paste "here's our pricing" forms. We got TWO photographers, which is awesome because while one is taking posed photos, the other is snapping candid photos (those always make for great photos.) The price was awesome! Both photographers were professional, fun, happy to be there, and creative with posing. They were patient and not once did my family feel like they were rushing us. The photos are amazing!!!!! We had a long list of shots and poses we wanted, and they made sure every photo was covered the way we wanted it to be done. My family is one that isn't picky with things, but when they find someone or something they love we stick with it. EVERY family member commented even days later that they will use Tallen Photography for every event from now on.

As of 10/06/2026, nearly seven months after my wedding, I have not received a single photograph. I contacted the photographer multiple times, and the last time I heard from Black Mill Photography was through email on 7/08/26, when I was given another unmet promised delivery date. My wedding was beautiful and the pictures are irreplaceable. Attached, you will find a picture from my wedding, where you can clearly see the photographer, April, who was hired to be there that day. Photos like these are the only ones I have to remember my wedding.

She had lots of options for backgrounds, props and accessories to select from so I was able to match nursery colors. Elyse was also great at handling my baby and very patient when my baby needed a little break and was fussy. Overall the session was a great experience!
