Wedding Photos
I love doing weddings because it allows me to work creatively in capturing moments. That is one of my favorite things to do with photography, and I have yet to shoot a wedding that I didn't enjoy doing. I not only photograph the moments, but take the traditional, and maybe not so traditional photo's.

Engagement Photos
Along with wedding photo's I also do engagement photos, and as a bonus... if you like the engagement photos enough to bring me on as a wedding photographer I take the price of the engagement photos off from the wedding price. I know, "what a guy?" right?

Family Photos
I've been honored to take some family photos of not only whole family's, but also just the children. They make great gifts, and people tend to like my vision when taking the photos. I love working in new places and am always trying to make sure I get what they have in mind, along with giving them something a bit more unique.

Senior Photos
Being a senior in high school is a pretty big moment, and why not have a great photo to show it off. I started getting into portraits by doing Senior photos, and I've been approved by pretty much all the high schools on the Central Coast as a Senior Photo Photographer. So if you know someone that is about to become a High school Senior and wants a sharp and original Portrait that stands out in the year book, I'm the guy to call. More than anything I like to make sure everyone is having a lot of fun so you get the best photo you can. It is one of those once in life time photos right?

Baptism and Baby Photos
I've only done a couple of baptisms to date, but I think they're great to shoot for the same reasons that weddings are. It's all about being creative and capturing the moment. I also love getting to shoot new borns, as it's a time in life that you never get back, and it's fun to be creative and give the parents a still image of their child, and maybe even they haven't looked at before. More or less, it's a great time for me to be creative and find new angles in photographing a person.

Modeling
Along with the classic portraits I like to be a little more creative also. I have done a few shoots for friends and others where they wanted something a bit more stylish. They wanted some photos where they not only looked good, but had a style to it. I've done a few shoots so far, and I've been more that happy with the way they have turned out. More than anything though it's all about being comfortable enough at a shoot to be yourself.

Artistic and Creative
Beyond the Weddings, Family Photo's, And all other portraits I more or less just enjoy capturing moments. I also love to be creative with my camera. To completely understand I would suggest to just flip through sections in all of my photography through the years and see if there is anything that strikes your eye. Maybe you'll see something you love so much that you just have to have a copy for yourself. At that point you can take the image from the site, or even purchase one from me at any size and without my little watermark. Here are some of my photo's, not really favorites... but some that I really like that shows some of what I can do.



Travel Monkey
Last, but for sure not least, is Travel Monkey. Long ago Travel Monkey was giving to me as a gift to take with me when I was going to travel the world. Well... Travel Monkey hung around in my closet for close to 5 years. So long that I completely forgot all about Travel Monkey. Well, when I booked my flight to China I was more than excited... and Travel Monkey was also thrilled for his first trip. Travel Monkey will now travel with me whenever I leave the country again. Which will happen... I'm now addicted to traveling.

TESTIMONIALS
Just a little bit of what people say about me after hiring me as a photographer.

"I researched more than a dozen photographers for my wedding and nothing compared to Donald Weiting's work. I still get compliments and his work is hanging in my living room for everyone to see. I would recommend his work to anyone."

-Marissa Berg


"I was referred to Donald by a couple of friends of mine who used him to take their picture for their wedding invitation. I went to his website and looked at every picture he had put there. I wanted to make sure that I was not going to work with someone who would take cheap pictures of my fiancé and me. As soon as I was done surfing his web page; I knew I wanted Donald to take our pictures. He had done a great job on everything I looked at. I did not have a lot of money set aside for a photographer and I was not sure if I could find someone who takes great pictures for the prices that I wanted to pay. His prices fit perfect with what I am working with. He is very reasonable and I knew I could not pass him up.
Donald took our pictures at Sycamore Mineral Springs on Saturday afternoon and by Tuesday he had delivered them to us on a CD. I could not believe how quickly he had finished editing them. I thought it was going to take a couple of weeks or so since he was going to shoot a wedding the following day. I especially loved that I had no obligation to have him print our pictures. He gave us everything he took on a CD and I can go where ever I would like to have them printed which is saving me a great deal in cost.
I was very please with everything he has done for me. I have emailed him a couple of times and asked for him to edit more pictures. Every time, he has delivered them to me in a reasonable amount of time. Donald is very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is thinking about working with him.
I can't wait until he shoots our wedding in July 2008. I know he will do a great job and I will not have to wait forever for my pictures. Their probably be done before I even get back from my honeymoon."

Sincerely,

Stephanie Weichinger
