We chose this photography team after extensive research, as they appeared highly recommended across multiple platforms. Based on their reputation, we felt confident moving forward....
We booked an eight-hour photography package, but due to a change in our wedding plans, we only needed three hours of coverage. We expected that fewer hours would allow for more attention to detail and quality.
Unfortunately, that was not our experience.
We received over 1,000 photos, but the majority were unusable due to unflattering angles, lighting issues, awkward poses, and minimal direction during the shoot. Prior to the wedding, we shared clear visual references outlining what we look like, preferred poses and angles, and what we wanted to avoid. Despite this, the guidance we expected from professionals was largely absent.
The logistics of getting to the photo location were also stressful, and we began the shoot already rushed and uncomfortable. There was no effort to pause, reset, or offer corrective direction — including letting us know when expressions or positioning were unflattering.
Reviewing the photos afterward was difficult. Even with pro editing experience, I spent several days going through the gallery and was only able to salvage 37 images that we felt represented us well.
We acknowledge that the contract includes a clause regarding responsibility for final image quality, which we regret not scrutinizing more closely. Still, we feel it’s important for future couples to understand our experience.
Wedding photography is deeply personal and once-in-a-lifetime. Unfortunately, our photos did not reflect how we felt or looked on the day, and based on our experience, we would recommend that couples proceed with caution.
