About

The guy behind
the lens

Hi! I’m Donni Krainess, a portrait and event photographer based in Silver Spring, MD. I was born and raised in Cleveland, OH. In 2006, I moved to Israel along with my family. 10 years later I find myself in Silver Spring, MD, eventually I settled down and married the love of my life.

I wake up every day wanting to capture all those beautiful moments that make us human, you know, the ones we go back to when times get rough. My goal is to capture your special day, so that you can be fully present, but at the same time enjoy the memories for years to come.

When I’m not behind the camera, I can be found on a walk with my wife and 2-month old daughter, playing around with my drone, or drinking coffee….totally not addicted 😉
