About Darkes Documentary Company

Darkes Documentary Company

Lead Photographer

Hi! My name is LaDonna, and all things photography related have stolen my heart. I thrive on providing quality, desirable, memorable images to clients. Showcasing the littlest details - the short hugs, the cheeky grins or even just a bat of an eye - it it my sincerest passion.

I have fully, one hundred percent devoted my being to perfecting my craft as I can, and doing the absolute most with this gift I have been given. Photography is not just "art" to me, it is life encapsulated, time frozen, moments etched in metaphorical stone.

    Lovely!

    Highly recommend working with La Donna! She was lovely to be photographed by and I love how my pictures turned out.

To put it simply, photos are some of the only things I have left of some very important people. This is a way I can help etch memories and allow individuals to cherish them for a lifetime.
In some of my wedding packages, you may see a "complementary engagement OR boudoir session" add-on. This is entirely optional and not at all necessary, the price of the package stays the same regardless, as the cost of the complementary session isn't tacked on either way.
Composition wise, I am definitely a documentary style photographer. Think candid moments, real laughs, hugs, tears, smiles, heck maybe even frowns. When I edit photos, my goal is to showcase the colors of the day in full respect, just more vibrant and dreamy.
