Sidney Donaldson Photography 

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $500

I've been shooting weddings for almost 10 years now and love every single one. The love, the joining of 2 people, and the fun of having everyone together. I strive to have every single important moment captured to remember for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
We knew from the start that our wedding would be a small, intimate affair, and we wanted a photographer who could capture the special moments without being intrusive. Sidney was absolutely perfect! Communication was a breeze. Sidney was always responsive, and they took the time to understand our vision for the day. He arrived early arrived and with an assistant and both blended seamlessly into the background. They captured candid moments of our family and friends, as well as some beautiful posed portraits. We received the sneek peak very quickly and the only "hard part" is picking from all the many photos to move on to the final gallery!

Love is a wild ride, just like your wedding day will surely be. Soak it up, it’s going to move fast and be filled with magic. My work is to document all of it, with a little finessing here and there. Your wedding photos will mean more to you as time passes and thus my goal is to create graceful, timeless images of you and your loved ones. As a wedding photographer, I am emotion-focused. My job is to capture all the smiles, the tears, the laughs, and the romance of the day in its entirety.

Awarded Best of Zola
Linka and her team can't be beat! We were so lucky to have them shoot our engagement and wedding photos. They made the whole process fun, with no awkward poses, and picked fantastic backdrops every step of the way. They moved FAST on a tight schedule on our wedding day but still somehow managed to capture the entire event in vivid detail. Flipping through the online album (which is easy to share with close friends and family) feels like reliving the best day of my life. Every picture is magical! I don't know how I'll choose which ones to print. Plus, leading up to the event Linka was great to work with. She helped me understand what to expect, answered all my questions, and offered lots of tips to help me prepare. Thank you, Linka!!!

Look no further than Paradigm Gardens for the unforgettable, joyful, vibrant, delicious and thoughtful wedding or celebration that you've always imagined! We had always admired the space for its lush, colorful, genuine energy, but we had no idea how special and personal the experience would be when we reached out to inquire about having our wedding in the garden. Starting at the beginning, Karen was so available and personable which made it possible for us to talk through our needs and hopes and find a solution that would work for our budget and vison. From that point, we felt extremely supported throughout the year leading up to our wedding with prompt answers whenever we had questions, phone calls to discuss any idea we had to see how we could make it work in the garden, and a menu tasting that was so much fun and SO delicious! One major point to any prospective couple, the food is SPECTACULAR! Made on the outdoor grill and brick oven, the culinary experience is a feast for every sense and seriously something our guests (and we) are still talking about! With rain in the forecast as our wedding approached, Karen and Sarah made sure every detail was thought of to ease our nerves, and we had a perfect rain plan that was stunning and perfect! The Paradigm team thinks of every detail so that you can create the day of your dreams. The garden flowers and foliage w ere just divine, the layout was thought out perfectly for our group size, the food was prepared and served without us having to think about a thing and we could just soak in our amazing family and friends, and the love and joy around us! The staff were such a delight and so kind and helpful throughout the evening! We had an absolute BLAST and will remember every second of the perfect day to start our next chapter together. Paradigm is the best decision we made aside from marrying each other!

As much joy as I get out of teaching, baking is the icing on the cake! About 11 years ago, I turned my hobby baking into a "side hustle" that grew into a thriving business. The journey has been filled with many sweet successes. I look forward to meeting with you and becoming a part of your beautiful story.

Working with Sensational Sugah was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Her communication style was easy, quick, and detailed, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of her work and value was exceptional, going above and beyond our expectations. Sensational Sugah took the time to get to know us, ensuring that the details were perfect for our special day. We opted into a tasting in advance, and the care she took in the preparation and presentation was truly remarkable. For our nearly 100 guests Sensational Sugah created our main cake (two cake flavors with a buttercream icing), a suprise carrot groom's cake, and two smaller dessert options that truly wowed our guests!

Hi! I didn't realize it at first, but photography has always been a meaningful part of my life. I often admired my dad's prints of birds at the Audubon Zoo hung in the house, and when my mom would share boxes of photos, I couldn't help but feel wonder while turning each page. By the time I was in high school, I always had a disposable in my pocket. It was so exciting to snap those brief moments to be remembered and retold in the future. Although I have decades of experience behind the lens, it was not until 2020 that I officially opened by business as a freelancer. I love working with others, and eager to help tell your story.

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m a lover of art, stories, and spark—the perfect alchemy to creating and capturing all those memory-making, magical moments. Weddings, to me, are about your unique narrative, your origin stories and your threads of connection; the ways in which you’ve woven a love through a tapestry of compassion and inspiration and all that makes you you— both as individuals and as a couple. That’s the fabric of the photo, the material I like to work with; because of this, my photos lean atmospheric and candid.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Hannah was so easy, and the photos from our wedding were exactly what I wanted. I really wanted to maximize the amount of time I spent enjoying my wedding and guests, and Hannah's style was perfect for this – we got our posed portraits done quickly, and the rest of the time she was able to capture what was actually taking place at the wedding. In terms of pre-wedding prep, we met once before I signed the contract and then again about a month before the wedding to nail down details. Hannah was very communicative throughout the whole process, and she turned around 25 beautiful pictures within a week of the wedding for us to share around. I just got 200 more pictures back, and they are stunning. Hannah is such a talent, and I highly recommend her.

We had our wedding in the French Quarter and they played our second line, our ceremony, and the entire reception! We and every single one of our guests had a blast dancing to their music. They played jazz, gospel, and even a killer hava nagila. Rob, the band leader, is also organized, responsive, and communicative, and a super nice guy. The band was also great at corralling the guests (who had never done a 2nd line) and leading them out of the venue to glorious song and music before putting on a heck of a show through the streets of the quarter. We just wish we could have danced all night long to this band’s amazing music.

My dream for Nola Darlings Photography is to create a safe and inclusive space for all people. No matter who you love, how you love, or what you look like you deserve to have amazing photos. Let’s face it, a lot of what we see out there just isn’t relatable. The vibe might seem very relaxed but I’ve been behind the camera (professionally) for over 10 years and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography. I was being published in magazines in Orlando before I graduated from college. I just like to use everything I’ve learned over those many years to make it feel incredibly easy and even fun, yes fun, for my clients.

Nola Darlings Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Ash was always friendly, relaxed, and completely professional. She made me feel comfortable in front of a camera, which isn’t easy! On the day of the wedding, Ash seamlessly guided us through all the photo moments, providing just the right amount of direction to ensure we looked our best without ever feeling overly posed or staged. The final photos were absolutely stunning - high quality, vibrant, and captured all the special moments of our day. We couldn't be happier with the value and speed of her work. Nola Darlings Photography truly helped make our wedding day perfect, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, personable photography team!
