Donna Gustin Photography

WOW! What a terrific photographer! Donna does exactly what we need her to do...she takes amazing pictures and makes getting married easier. She is very accommodating, down-to-earth, professional, realistic, funny, and talented!
We wanted to take our engagement photos outdoors. Our first appointment it rained, and Donna was so flexible! When we did the shoot two weeks later it was in 107 degree Texas heat! We were flushed and sweaty. But you would never know by the photos she took! She was very detail-oriented and made the experience so much fun! When we got the proofs back we loved them all (plus we got to keep them all)!!!
I recommend her to any bride...or ANYONE looking for a great photographer. I can't speak highly enough about her and we'll definitely continue to use her in the future.

Wow!!! I loved Donna Gustin!!! She drove all the way to Natchez, MS to photograph our wedding! She did an amazing job! She made sure she got every shot that I wanted! She went down the checklist and didn't leave until every shot was taken, and until we got the PERfECT shot! I am so glad I chose Donna Gustin Photography to capture the special moments of my engagement, bridals, and wedding day. I will continue to use her every year for pictures and when we have a family. Thank you Donna! You are the BEST!!!!!

Professional, personable, helpful, and fun are just a few words to describe Donna. My husband and I really enjoyed working with Donna with both engagement and wedding pictures and I enjoyed my bridal portraits. She made the picture taking fun and made us actually laugh so that we weren't just "posing" for all the pictures. Donna is very flexible and more than willing to work with you on anything. She has great ideas. We really appreciate the fact that we will be getting access to all of our pictures so that we can pick and choose which ones to print and can have all of them on our computer for future use! Also the great price is hard to beat! We are very happy to have her as our photographer and would highly recommend her.

Donna is absolutely fabulous! Her prices are so reasonable and her photos are amazing. I did not find a better package anywhere in San Antonio. Donna is incredibly flexible and willing to try any idea that you may have... but more than that... her ideas, settings, poses are incredible. For our engagement photos she put us in the middle of old hay bales and we thought it was crazy... but they turned out incredible! I now have that picture hanging in my living room.
On the technical side of things... Donna uploads your photos to a shutterfly website specific to you, so you and friends and family can access the photos easily and order them for standard shutterfly prices! You can't get much cheaper than that! Donna included both engagement photos and bridal portraits in her package... which I couldn't find with many photographers, and after touching up the photos we really liked, she sent us all of our pictures on a cd so that we have them for our use. I was shocked when I started talking to photographers who wouldn't give you the rights to your pictures until your one year anniversary! That wouldn't have done us any good... you want to use your photos the first couple months... not the second year!

I work with the Grande Hall at Hofmann Ranch reception venue and Donna is our number one recommendation for photographers. She is talented, flexible, and so enjoyable to work with!

I chose Donna to work with because she came highly recommended from a friend. We had family pictures taken before the wedding pictures just to make SURE she was who we wanted. The pictures came out beautiful and we were hooked. She was incredibly easy to work with (even when the Louisiana weather was not) and took a lot of stress out of our day. We hired her to come to the rehearsal dinner cook-out and take photos the night before, and everyone at our party just loved her. She is a wonderful people person and got along with all our family who are sometimes a little difficult to work with. She handled them beautifully. Every moment we wanted captured and then some was captured. I was amazed at how much I actually missed of my OWN wedding. Instead of taking pictures after the ceremony, my husband and I met Donna at our wedding night suite and tooks our couple pictures beforehand. That was the best idea EVER! After our "pre-ceremony" pictures as a couple, I rode with her to my wedding! Looking back, that was the LEAST stressful part of that day...riding to my wedding with the photographer and chit chatting about family and friends. We had an incredible experience with Donna and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

SHE IS WONDERFUL!!!

The dollar amount includes 7 hour wedding day coverage, bridal portrait session, engagement session, and coffee table album. ALSO, what sets her apart from others is that she GIVES you the high-def CD of all your photos at the end. She doesn't charge an arm and a leg for every single small picture, like most photographers do.

Donna is FUN to work with!! She is a good-hearted, sincere, down-to-earth person. I had a blast. Plus, she just has a natural talent for making you look great! None of my pics had double-chins, visible bra-straps, etc. She will bring out the best in you. She takes unique pictures that really reflect your personality, and she uses lighting. She took a full pic of me in front of a fountain, the sun setting behind me, the rays surrounding me. Donna does incredible work.

Donna is amazing! I can't say enough how happy we were with her work. She was up to do anything that we wanted to do and was fun, creative and made the whole experience stress free. The day of our wedding she went above and beyond our expectations. Her pictures are beautiful and you can tell she takes pride in her work. These days you can not beat Donna's pricing when it comes to wedding photographers- she is a steal! The whole process was hassle free and we didn't have to worry about picking a certain number of pictures to keep because you get to keep them all.

Donna was amazing! She is very creative and came up with some wonderful ideas for both the bridal shots and the wedding day. She is very flexible, and works with your schedule! On the day of our wedding, Donna was very professional, and she documented our whole day beautifully. I hardly even knew she was there. I plan on continuing to use Donna any time we have photography needs. It is very hard to find someone so personable, affordable, and good at her job. You definitely can't find a better photographer.

Let me just say I love Donna! Not only was she a fabulous person to work with, she is an excellent photographer! Our wedding was on November 11th of 2006 in Coushatta, Louisiana. I still get compliments on the photos she did everytime someone enters our home. She also did our family portraits in 2008. I highly recommend her. I promise you will not regret having her be the one who preserves your most special memories forever on film. She creates timeless pictures of priceless moments. I honestly, just can't say enough good things about her. Her total cost includes so much. Aside from the amount of prints you get (I don't remember just how many but it's a lot), you also get a table photo book, and she gives you a disc with all your photos on it to do with as you want!!!!! That so rocks! She really has a passion for what she does and proves that not only by the quality of her work but by the freedom she gives her clients with their pictures after she is done. That is what keeps us coming back to her. She is one of the best photographers that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and the easiest that I have ever dealt with. My only regret is that she moved way off to San Antonio!!! We miss her here in Louisiana!
