About a month before my wedding, the family friend that was supposed to take pictures at the wedding never materialized. We considered not hiring a photographer and had a pretty sm...all budget for one. I honestly picked Mitch because he was the 2nd cheapest person I could find and he had really good reviews. We originally went with the Ruby package. I didn’t have high expectations, I just wanted a few nice photos. I told my friends and family to go ahead and get family pictures taken with the wedding photographer because a lot of my family hasn’t had any recent family pictures because of Covid and I didn’t think that I wanted or needed a bunch of wedding pictures. I let Mitch know and he was cool with it. Getting Mitch as a photographer was a gift from God and I don’t say that lightly. Not only did he take the most amazing photos that I have ever seen of myself, my daughter, my husband and son, but he took sooo many of them. 1,501 to be exact in an 8 hour window. That is over 3 pictures per minute for the entirety of the event. And the pictures are ALL very good. All of the portrait pictures are centered, the lighting is fantastic, the candid shots are very expressive, and don’t even get me started on how good the angles are. My daughter is curvy, I am a size 28 in dresses and my husband is not photogenic. He found a bunch of cool spots in the neighborhood (Pullman in Chicago) and had our wedding party pose/ walk/ dance around. He directed me to lean into this pillar and have my husband put his arm above me. Tell me how in the world, he got this picture where I have no double chin and a flat stomach with my husband looking lovingly down on me with the sexiest look on his face (pic 831). It is just awesome. It is the best picture that I have taken since high school and I am in my 40’s. He got all of the extended family photos done, and still captured us cutting the cake, the first dance, all of the speeches, a really cool picture of my leading the Congo line, a bunch of posed and candid shots of people at the reception, some really great ones of the rings, like all the pictures I didn’t think I would want, but they are all so beautiful that my husband and I decided that we want them all. We ended up upgrading to the most expensive package that he offers. I can’t wait to see the photo album!
