Hey hey ๐Ÿ‘‹, Iโ€™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, Iโ€™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. Iโ€™m always delighted to travel wherever your love story takes youโ€”even an Aspen winter elopement. That would honestly make my heart smile! ๐Ÿ˜Š 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
โ€œIโ€™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 wouldnโ€™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 LTยฒ team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and Iโ€™ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24โ€

From the very beginning, their communication was informative, active, and top-tier, making the entire process a breeze. The quality of their work was simply incredible - beautiful, hands-on, and respectful of our vision. Kia and her team were wonderful, amazing, and incredibly attentive, capturing all the best moments throughout the day. Kia was very hands-on, knowing exactly when and where to be to make sure we got the perfect sunset photos and had time for ourselves. She even anticipated when we needed a break from family photos, keeping me happy and sane the entire time (I'm not a big photo person!). We received our wedding photos back quicker than anyone I know, and on our wedding night, Kia sent us a few sneak peeks to make sure we were thrilled with everything.

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But letโ€™s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! Now thatโ€™s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, Iโ€™m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

โ€œJovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry and stress about photos. Day of the wedding, she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didnโ€™t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I canโ€™t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.โ€

Once the wedding day came, the entire bridal party and guests could not stop raving about how much they loved him! He gives clear direction on how to pose, what to do with your hands, how to fix your face, and knows how to use lighting. One of our biggest concerns when finding a photographer is having someone know how to use lighting because more often than not either I get lost in the light or my fiancรฉ gets lost since our complexions are so far from each other. Thankfully Justin knew exactly how to make it all work out! He also stuck to the game plan and made sure none of those important shots are missed but he was also flexible enough to allow us to add in and change some of that game plan. I can honestly sit here and say that thanks to JVaughn Photography, our big day was absolutely perfect (even during covid). We already told him to get ready for our maternity photos, gender reveal, baby shower, and family portraits. I will forever recommend him to EVERYONE.โ€

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

โ€œKay was referred to me by two different brides. I had seen their wedding pictures posted and reached out immediately. The turnaround time for receiving our photos took TWO WEEKS. I know brides that didnโ€™t get their photos back for months. It was so special to be able to see them so quickly after our wedding. Especially considering the exceptional quality and attention to detail in each image. The final edits were flawless, and the photographer managed to enhance the natural beauty. I got every single photo I had put on my shot-list. But what stood out most was when we noticed that we didnโ€™t get a picture of my parents alone and I asked her if we ever took one. She offered to photoshop a picture of them together and the final result was unbelievable. You would have never known they were not standing next to each other. My parents could not be happier with it. I wholeheartedly recommend Kay to anyone in need of capturing their special day. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to delivering outstanding results make them a top choice. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!โ€

โ€œNicole and Michael went above and beyond for our wedding in Mexico. Not only did they travel all the way to Mexico for us, but when it poured down rain on our wedding day, they took extra time from their vacation to take even more photos of us a few days after our wedding. I told Nicole that I didn't want basic wedding photos, I wanted art, and she delivered! We plan to continue using Gray Photography Company for all of our family photos and future milestones.
