Words cannot explain how pleased I am with my decision to hire White-Klump! We got paired with Michelle and she was absolutely phenomenal in every way, starting from our engagement... session, to help with planning (timeline, shotlist, etc), and all the way through wedding day. Even my family and my bridesmaids commented on how great she was to work with.
When I say she thought of everything, I mean it. She's a true professional who knows her craft. She kept our day running on schedule like clockwork and made sure she captured all the details that were important to us. We took family and couple photos before the ceremony and Michelle mentioned that some people like to wear their wedding bands for those even though they haven't technically been "given" to each other yet, and that was something that I hadn't even thought about and was super glad she mentioned, because we did want to wear them for those! This is just one example of several throughout the day that made me think "wow, she's awesome!".
And then the photos. Oh. My. Gosh. It's only been three weeks since the wedding so we only have about 60 "preview" shots back so far, but I am absolutely blown away already. They are stunning. Michelle's framing and composition of each shot is so perfectly crafted. Not a detail is missed. I, for one, do not have the eye for that sort of thing, so I can truly appreciate it when I see it done extremely well. The angles, the background, the setup. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
AND she gives excellent direction throughout the whole thing for what to do next, how to pose, where to stand, etc. She gives super clear and easy directions that make the whole thing feel so natural and fun. We had a large wedding party (18 people including us) and she was incredible at wrangling everyone in and ensuring everyone was posed just right for each shot. She did the same for our semi-chaotic family photo session and had my shotlist printed out and checking photos off as we went along to make sure nothing was missed. We took photos with our dog, two children under 8 and two toddlers, too, and she knew exactly what to do to get each kid or pet to pose and look at the camera. She even briefly chased my two year old nephew when he made a breakaway towards a pond before his parents could grab him, which was just above and beyond the call of duty and truly shows what kind of person she is.
Suffice to say, White-Klump is exceptional. You will not be disappointed by hiring them.
