Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph.

That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

I have unofficially been the family photographer for years. Whether it be formals or family reunions, I’m usually the one behind the camera. The two things I value most are my family and our memories. What better way to engrain a memory than having it in a timeless photo? That leads me to where I am today! I am here to learn, grow and along the way help other people freeze their memories in time, as I do my own. When I’m not behind the camera or with my nose in a book, I am with my two fur babies; Sadie and Nash; my life partner and best friend, Isaiah; or my family. Thank you for stopping by and I hope to meet you soon!

Kelsey Sledd Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Their communication was strong and on time throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was amazing, perfect, and excellent. Kelsey was so helpful, listened to everything I wanted, and was there for me throughout the day whenever I needed it. She was so kind and made me feel confident and special the whole time. I loved working with Kelsey and can't wait for future shoots with her. I highly recommend Kelsey Sledd Photography for any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer.

Kelsey is a dream to work with. I looked through her portfolio and knew I wanted to work with her. Not only did I love the engagement shoots she has done, but it was amazing to see that she had done a lot of weddings at the venue I picked. I had her do my engagement photos & 6hrs for the wedding. She was very responsive anytime I reached out. I know wedding season is very busy, I never felt like I was left hanging. While my new husband is comfortable in-front of the camera, I was very much not. Kelsey is great at guiding and making you feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were something different from her portfolio, the arcade, and she did a phenomenal job like I knew she would. Stephanie assisted us on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful too. I provided a detailed shot list for the family portraits and she did a great job navigating the family. After dinner Kelsey was able to provide me with a sneak peek of my photos. I am so excited to see the rest of my photos!

I have been a photographer since 2017 and have shot over 200 weddings to date. If you’re looking to add an ally to your wedding team you are in the right place! We will provide consultation to avoid the common wedding day hiccups. Whether it’s running behind schedule or securing the best available locations for your photos. Have you ever modeled before? Probably not, and that’s ok!! We have successfully worked with all personality types. Our goal is to bring your vision to life. No two weddings should be the same. We will approach your special day as a huge collaborative effort.

Manai was so communicative. We started with a nearly 2 hour video call. He was so good about making sure he understood our vision. We had several emails afterwards to get his help with our schedule and other vendors. We had a final 1 hour call just before the wedding to finalize all of the details. 10 out of 10. Manai knows his stuff and it felt good on the day of my wedding realizing we hired the right person. He pretty much knew everything that was happening even before it happened. I'm a pretty anxious person so it was nice having someone to kind of help guide the day along. Thank you Manai! Wishing you so much success. You deserve it!

She got the most romantic and beautiful photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Plus our reception venue was pretty dark and had weird lighting so a lot of our guests photos didn't turn out, so it was a real gift to have Josie's incredible photos at the reception.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! Andrea was there throughout the entire journey to help our dream wedding come to reality. She is creative, organized and very friendly. We were looking for a wedding photographer who was a mixture of hands on and hands off. She had the perfect balance of being hands on to capture beautiful images and also stood back and captured organic moments, we can look back at our wedding day and know each photo was an authentic moment. She was a great addition to our wedding team and I would hire her a million times over.

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

Captured By Celeste

Hey there! I'm your friendly neighborhood photographer, Celeste. As a Pisces, it feels like capturing love stories was written in the stars for me—romantic and creative by nature, I pour my heart and soul into every image I create. If you're into Enneagrams, I'm a 4, which means I embrace individuality and artistry in everything I do (though I'm still figuring out all the quirks of what that means!).

Celeste is the absolute best at what she does. She is professional and detail oriented but also able to maintain a close relationship and have fun with her clients. I was a massive skeptic on professional photography- as me and my soon to be husband did not like being in-front of the camera. However, Celeste was so easy to open up with and not only was the experience to die for- she makes excellent company. My fiancé and I have grown close to Celeste and we look forward to our plans with her in the future. She is kind and open minded. She is punctual and flexible. She is witty and professional. Celeste has worked with my family and I to make sure that she makes it happen. My maternity photo location ended up being inaccessible the day of our session- and Celeste went above and BEYOND anything I could have asked if her. She set up a glamping tent on her OWN property and made magic with the circumstances we were given. She did my maternity photos in November of 2022, our first family photos in August of 2023, and will be not only photographing but a GUEST at our wedding in March of 2024. If you are new to professional pictures- or just looking for a breath of fresh air - I could not more passionately suggest anybody than Celeste.

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients.

Alissa Jean Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. Her communication throughout the planning process was timely, responsive, and understanding - she helped guide me through decisions about shot lists and family photos in the lead-up to our big day. On the wedding day itself, Alissa was phenomenal at capturing all of the most important moments, big and small. She made sure to get shots of special details we hadn't even discussed beforehand. The quality of Alissa's work is outstanding, especially considering the value we got for our budget.

Her signature photography style is best described as chic, timeless and natural.

I’ve never loved photos of myself and I was blown away! I highly recommend Amber to everyone looking for an incredible wedding photographer

We're Jaira + Jesse. We’re equal parts homebodies and avid travelers. We had a traditional wedding, and while it was the right decision for us at the time, looking back it could’ve been so much more intentional, focused on us + our relationship, and the things we’re the most passionate about. Because of that, we have grown to be super passionate and dedicated to helping couples create elopements and intimate weddings that are the truest reflection of themselves in the places that inspire them the most and documenting that for them.

Jaira and Jesse were absolutely incredible. My wedding was anything but normal thanks to Covid... they both stuck with me the entire way and went above and beyond to make sure they would make it(now to another state) to capture my wedding. They even helped me day of and did more than I could’ve ever expected to help make sure it all ran smooth just because that’s the kind of people they are. Their character speaks volumes for their work and their love and passion for photography speaks for itself in my pictures. I would recommend them time and time again as they were such a memorable part of my special day. Thanks guys for everything!

I’m originally from New York, and shortly after moving down south I found myself falling in love with a country boy and made the New River Valley, VA my home. I have had a passion for photography since I was a child, and when I finally decided to take the leap into my own photography journey I was very lucky to have the support of family, friends and other professionals. I’ve had the opportunity to have some amazing mentors along the way and have soaked up everything they took the time to teach me.
