LaVonda Downard Photography Weddings + Elopements
Intimate. Detailed. Unforgettable.
As your day approaches know that I am here to photograph every detail you've worked hard to incorporate into your day. On your wedding day you want a photographer that cares about the emotion and memory behind each image they deliver. A photographer who recognizes you as leading role, with the supporting appearances of your closest loved ones, and considers every thread, lace, satin, button, cuff, diamond, and strand a special guest. I'd be honored to be there to capture those and every moment in between.

FAQ
How would you describe your style?
I shoot from a storytelling perspective. complimented by a golden, timeless editing style! I honor all skin tones and strive to edit all shades of melanin to look beautifully highlighted!

Hang back and relax while I take notes and send you a detailed follow up email after our no pressure laid back consultation call! Simply fill out the inquiry form on this page or reach out to through email (info@lavondadownard.com). I'll guide you through the process, discuss your vision, and how I can add convenience and ease to your day!
How many Images will i receive?
I’m kinda obsessed with photography if you haven’t noticed. So when I comes to photo count, I have no control and will probably go overboard! On average my wedding & elopement clients receive 50 edited images per hour of coverage.
What if I want to add on a service after I book?
Again, I'm here to make this season of your life easier! Just reach out and let me know which service you'd like to add on, anything from Videography coverage to a bonus newlywed session, and I'll do all the boring contract additions on my end! I'll reach out letting you know all the nitty gritty details and you're all set! Additions with EASE!
Why do your prices say "starting at"?
Listen let's call it like it is! Hidden fees are sooo dishonest and overrated! I don't do that here! I believe in price transparency! The phrase "starting at" simply lets you know that you're more than welcome to add on to any of your packages or services. So to put it simply, the price is the price and the only thing that'll make it go up is your choice!
