We booked Brittany right after we got the unfortunate news that our original photographer had to…read morehave emergency back surgery and wouldn't be able to shoot our wedding anymore. Since the wedding was quickly approaching, we didn't get a chance to meet Brittany until the morning of our day. She seemed very friendly over email - but what if we didn't click? Would she understand what we wanted? I was nervous. The very moment Brittany and Esther (hand-selected by Brittany to be our second photographer) walked in, my fears were immediately put to rest. They were vibrant, happy and oh so warm and friendly! They went to work straight away, and without even asking... they somehow knew every shot I wanted as if they were reading my mind. I gave Brittany and Esther the hardest task of all: Try and coral all our wedding guests (about 90 people) after our ceremony for a group photo. This would be intimidating to anyone. My young nephews were losing steam QUICKLY and our guests were itching for the refreshing cocktails located just steps away. But somehow this impossible task was completed in only 10-15 minutes - and Brittany and Esther did everything under the sun to make sure everyone (especially my nephews) were laughing and smiling the whole time. We couldn't have been happier, and towards the end of the night Brittany and Esther felt like family. I can't imagine having anyone else with us on our day - so if you want to book photographers who will make life easier and give you dreamy photos, Brittany and Esther were the absolute dream team. Thank you girls for everything...we look forward to working with you again in the future as we start out our life together!

I highly recommend hiring Cindy Fandl as your photographer…read more Cindy is a kind & wonderful human being who is a joy to spend time with & on top of that she is an incredible artist & photographer. We hired Cindy for our engagement photos + our June 2020 wedding & then postponed to July of 2021. Navigating rescheduling our wedding during the pandemic was not ideal, to say the least. However, Cindy made changing our date easy and she was compassionate, understanding & empathetic throughout the process. We were beyond grateful for her support during that difficult time. On our wedding day, Cindy and her second-shooter Danyel were simply amazing. They made us feel comfortable, beautiful, deserving and supported every step of the way. Neither my husband or I love to be the center of attention, but being in-front of Cindy's camera was never awkward - she truly made us feel stunning & so at ease. We honestly had so much fun!! We are absolutely in love with our wedding photos. Cindy captured every special moment + all of our loved ones beautifully. We truly just got to enjoy the day and had total faith that Cindy was there to document it all. Everything from portraits of my husband and I, bridal party shots, detail items, to candid moments with our family and friends is documented beautifully. She didn't miss a single thing! We will truly cherish these photos forever. We feel beyond blessed that we were able to have Cindy as our photographer. The end result is nothing short of magical. Cindy has my highest recommendation.

We all know how that year turned out. It was an especially challenging time to get married. Cindy was there for us from the beginning. We had several changes with the ceremony site, reception, etc... Cindy was so calm and her reassurance meant the world to us. Our wedding day was perfect! Cindy was there early to capture getting ready and she was with us when we left the reception. Her assistant Monique was delightful. They worked together like a well oiled machine. You can see the team work in her photos. Cindy will hold a special place in our hearts forever. Your wedding day has the most loving and intimate moments. She respected our privacy yet still present. Our pictures, the slideshow and album are beautiful beyond words. Thank you Cindy

This was my first time working with Rachel and we had a wonderful experience. Working with Rachel…read morewas easy breezy. She is very professional and was very responsive throughout the process. What I really appreciate was the help with poses as we did a family shoot and she knew exactly how to direct us. She was punctual and also patient with us. The images turned out great.

Rachel is a true professional and makes the sessions a ton of fun, so you feel comfortable from the beginning of the booking process, all the way through when she delivers the images.

Amanda did our engagement shoot shortly after we booked for our wedding, allowing us to get a sense of what working with her on our wedding day would be like. We felt so comfortable with her from the start and loved our engagement shots. On our wedding day, Amanda was sooo incredibly efficient and on task, that everything felt that it went so smoothly to us--Im sure there were hiccups in getting all the shots needed, but I wouldn't have known. Amanda also has stuck to her contract throughout the process, sending us sneak peeks for us to have the day after our wedding and delivering our whole wedding album to us weeks prior to when the contract stated. She is incredibly reliable, which can't be said of all photographers. Trusting her to capture our biggest day yet was the best decision, and I look forward to booking Amanda for any future photography needs we have.

Amanda is a phenomenal photographer. She is wonderful to work with and delivers beautiful images…read more But her talent goes way beyond that. She is the ultimate hype man. She will go hard for you and your day. She has an amazing sense of style and can provide advice well beyond photography. She meant so much to us throughout our wedding journey. In the midst of COVID, she bought into our dream of going to Paris for engagement photos. I never wanted engagement photos, but my planner highly recommended them, so I figured, if I was going to do them, I wanted them to be epic. Amanda DELIVERED. And my planner was right. It allowed us to get to know Amanda, and for her to know our awkward non-PDA selves. When the wedding rolled around, one thing I was not worried about was our photos. As soon as Amanda walked in the room, I was immediately put at ease. She is so on top of things that I knew she wouldn't let anything go wrong. I loved every minute of our day, and I'm so glad we got to share those times with Amanda. And that her incredible skill was able to capture them for us to relive forever through her photos. She is unparalleled in capturing those special, heartfelt moments. Our whole wedding party loved her. Friends that have never liked a wedding photographer, couldn't stop gushing about her. I cannot recommend using Amanda enough for your wedding. We are honored to have had our day captured by her.

He worked closely with our STEAM coordinator to ensure that we had the materials to screen print almost 400 t-shirts. We had a student design the t-shirt, and Mike was able to make a screen print that looked exactly like the design. The students also loved being a part of the design and printing process.
