    Unfortunately, we had a negative experience with them. Everything leading up to the wedding was really smooth, but the photos we received were not what we expected at all..The photographer was not going to drive on the party bus with us even though we told the owner we wanted her to and when she did come on the bus due to her car breaking down, key fun bridal party moments were not captured and i am not sure why.. we were toasting and it would be after the fact that she would take a photo. My hair and dress were not adjusted to look better in photos and she did not know how to pose us for photos. She was sweet but it was not her full time job and it did show in our pictures. Our angles at the venue and of people dancing were very odd and the pictures looked like they were taken on a disposable camera and the response i got from the company owner was that it was our venue's lighting and just explained what lenses/camera they use. It was as if they had one filter, applied it to all the pictures, and called it a day. We got extra photos back and we got them within a week, which you would think is great except the photos weren't good..As a photographer, you need proper equitment and should be able to work with any lighting. Our guests had better photos than we did on our day. It almost felt like we got worse pictures because we were not a high profile wedding? unsure.. We spent a lot of money and did not feel we got our money's worth whatsoever. I was shocked and didn't want to look at our photos for days after receiving them. Bridal tip: Just because something is expensive does not mean it will be good.

We only recommend the best photographers to our clients. You need to love them. You will be spending most of your day with this person. We love Rachel because she catches the sweet candid moments, which make the best memories. As I mentioned before, she is detail focused.
