Scott M. Duncan Photography

just getting photos and leaving. He was with us all day and I love that we have the photos from us getting ready up until late into our reception!

ck, I was disappointed. There were many photos included where peoples eyes were closed or someone was clearly not ready for a photo and those should have been rooted out. Upon leaving our reception he told me "4 weeks" I didn't see an online proof until 4 months after the wedding. He was also very difficult to get a hold of at times. Some of the pictures came out great, we have more than enough good ones for an album and to remember our day, but for the investment you make, I expected a better experience.

ession. He gave us a lame excuse as to why he wasn't getting back to us. Finally set up the engagement session, and we did get those photos back in a timely, set fashion. The photos were sub-par, my fiance's tie was way off center in the photos and his shirt was bunched up and Scott never said anything about it. For the wedding photos, I had to keep calling and emailing him. He finally got back to me 7 months after the wedding, and gave another lame excuse about the printing company he used got hacked into, yet he never responded to my emails or calls to tell me when that happened. Guests at the wedding using their cell phones took better pictures than some of his, they did not look like the photos hanging in his gallery. The one photo I really wanted of my entire family, he centered one of my cousins directly behind and between my husband and I. We didn't pay attention when we were having the photo done, we just trusted we knew what he was doing, but when we got the picture and noticed there was someone in between us we were so upset. In my husband's family photo, one of his nieces has her hands tucked into her shirt, and she was right in the front, and Scott did not tell her to move her hands and that is the only family picture we have of his side. It seemed like he was just interested in shooting the picture so he could go outside and use his Vape. For most of the pictures, my veil is falling out of my hair and hanging half-way off my head, and he did not point this out to anyone, just kept taking pictures so I can't even use those pictures, and I felt something like this is his job since everyone else is so wrapped up in enjoying the special day. He sells you with the beautiful pictures in his studio and tells you how great of a job he'll do, but just be prepared to wait for them.

ut he keeps the atmosphere organized and productive. His duck noises to keep the kiddos smiling ended up making the adults laugh too. He’s never short of ideas for beautiful pictures, fun pictures, and memorable moments. Even the second photographer he booked for us was fantastic and I know got some awesome candid shots. He also will work with your unique ideas for pictures and moments, and put his own little spin on them to make them work. Some things any brides should know about Scott: He will have 4-5 pictures edited and posted on Facebook THAT NIGHT. By the time we reached the hotel to check in, he already had pictures up for us to see. He’s great at keeping pictures running smoothly and will command the attention needed to get things moving. Our bridal party was NOT digging the location of our pictures despite many discussions with them months ahead of time letting them know that it was a bit of a hike (but totally worth it). Despite this, Scott worked with an area he was not familiar with and got some incredible shots. When Scott did my friends’ wedding, there’s an infamous story where she ripped her dress and he sewed her back into it. He isn’t afraid to step out of his role as a photographer to just simply make sure things run smoothly for the bride and groom. He has done so many weddings that he can answer questions outside of just photography (like he instructed us on how to cut our cake for the cake cutting ceremony). He loves when you come to the table with fun ideas, and embraces them to make them special. If I can sum Scott up in a few words—he is someone who under promises but over delivers. With our engagement shoot, he told us the pictures would be up within 3 weeks…we got them within the week. I’m sure it’ll be similar with our wedding photos. He is such a nice guy and is hell bent on making your day everything you hope it will be.
