Welcome to Donabie.com

 

John Donabie, Photographer, is located in South west Sussex and covers Church and Civil Weddings, Studio and Environmental Portraits, Events and Pony and Rider studies as well as general photography.

In addition i run short courses on Photography to help both beginner and the experienced improve their images whether in traditional film or in digital media.

I have worked as a photographer for well over 26 years starting my career in the romantic Scottish village of Gretna Green. I moved to Sussex in 1980.

In general I cover all work personally ensuring my standards are not compromised. Where appropriate I work with other local photographers as associates.

Please take a few moments to look through the pages of my web site and feel free to contact me if you require any further information.

Portraits:

A studio portrait can be a wonderful way of capturing important times in the life of your children and extended family alike. Some people prefer something a little less formal and opt for an environmental portrait in their garden or sitting room – or perhaps a local place that holds some significance.

I like to apply flexibility in this matter and try to adapt to my client’s ideas as well as offering some of my own.

Prices for a studio portrait start at only £50.00 plus prints – Local environmental portraits are priced from £85.00 plus prints.


Weddings:

A wedding is a special occasion and to make sure that your wedding photographs are very special, I employ a number of professional principles. Firstly, I only accept one wedding per day, so your arrangements will not be rushed. Secondly, to ensure that my quality of service remains consistent I photograph all weddings myself. And thirdly, I make sure that we meet at least twice at appropriate times to discuss and confirm your particular photographic requirements.

Once you have entrusted your wedding photography to me, I will meet with you to talk through such aspects as your wedding theme, times available for photography and where the pictures are to be taken. Where appropriate I will make a site visit to preview the area and make suggestions about backgrounds etc.  Individual attention will be paid to these details in order that I can provide you with a list of requested photographs along with details of where and when they will be taken. This running order will help us make the photography run smoothly on the day leaving you to enjoy your celebrations. Where practical I will attend your wedding rehearsal to meet your families and make any final adjustments to your “shooting script”.

I consider every wedding to be unique and endeavour to provide a wedding album reflecting this principle.

Prices for weddings start at only £555.00 with a top value price of £1,750.00 and all stages in between.
