Donya Photography

Photographer

Hi, thanks for checking out my work. To make this not feel like a LinkedIn bio, I'll just give you a quick rundown. My name is Deeba Yavrom and I am a photographer. I recently finished grad school having studied International Economics (I'm a nerd), and even more recently got married. I have taken photos all around the world I really love it. It's a sweet gig, all joy and smiles all day long. I have a very simple approach to photography; honest documentation. I have spent over a decade working as a documentary photographer (see here), and bring that style to weddings. Read more

    I'm glad that I chose Deeba to shoot my engagement photos. He has a very artistic style, and captured me and my fiance in an authentic and meaningful way. We wanted DC to be the backdrop of our engagement photos as it's the city where we met, and Deeba was excellent in choosing locations with the "red-brick/row-house" aesthetic that we liked. Highly recommend!

    Deeba exceeded all our expectations. He made even the smallest moments become photogenic to magazine standard. What's more, he was available with less than 24 hours notice. I wasn't sure how a photographer would fare for an intimate ceremony with a small party of four, but Deeba did a great job of balancing discretion with just the right amount of suggestions for good shots. Thanks to him my husband and I have stunning visual reminders to treasure the memories of our wedding.

    We researched a lot of photographers, but no one seemed to really go beyond the typical to capture moments that were full of personality and heart the same way Deeba did. We worked with Deeba for our engagement photos and they turned out wonderfully.

    He was very flexible for scheduling on a short time frame (with a fiance out of town, and chasing the elusive cherry blossoms), and was communicative and punctual. Even with high winds and a chilly day, he made it work finding great shots and really taking advantage of the sunset.

    I would absolutely recommend him, the price was reasonable, and the quality was phenomenal.

    Deeba was our wedding photographer and brought of 2nd shooter for our wedding. He was a pleasure to work with and we really enjoyed his photo journalistic style. He was very responsive by phone and email. We highly recommend him without reservation.

    Deeba does an amazing job! My wife and I did a lot of searching for wedding photographers in the DC metro area. When we came upon Deeba's website we were struck by how well he shot candid photos. It was a stark difference from other wedding photographers websites that had the same corny/cheesy feel to the photos, and did not capture the day with any sense of reality. Deeba takes incredible photos that in no way seem forced. For us he took posed photos we requested as well as seamlessly capturing the wedding. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention his calm demeanor and ability to take photos in an unobtrusive manner. Overall, not only are we thrilled with the photos, but our friends and family are too! We can not say enough good things about Deeba!
