“Just one of the many stunning photos in OK Magazine…” Entertainment Tonight on Katherine Heigl’s Wedding

“Donna Newman is a one-of-a-kind, a true talent. Not only do her photographs have incredible energy and beauty, but she captures the exact moment you want. Any bride is very lucky to have Donna document her wedding day.”
“Donna, thanks for the photos- as always, I love them so much...you are such an incredible talent. As you know, I have had my picture taken a lot over my 15 years at Martha Stewart Living-but there is just something magical about your photos. No one captures people and celebrations like you do. Your photos are beyond amazing and I feel so lucky that you are capturing my girls growing up in such a special way.”
Darcy Miller – Editor of Martha Stewart Weddings

Donna Newman began her career as a fashion model for the Ford Agency. For the past 12 years, Newman made the switch to photography and has been pioneering her unique style of wedding photography – “Fashion Photojournalism”. “I take a cinematic approach to photographing weddings. I strive to breathe with the beat of the wedding and document the life…that’s when I am able to capture the real moments of the day. I am able to strike a perfect blend between the candid photojournalistic moments while creating flawless editorial images of the bride and groom.”
