Stop looking for photographers and just book The Willinghams aka Drew and Angela. Don't keep…read morelooking. Don't meet with other photographers, just book them. Why, you ask? Where do we begin? 1. You are actually dealing with Drew and Angela. Not their secretary. Not their big gigantic company. You get them for every mundane question you have. They own the company and take pride in themselves. You talk to Drew and Angela whenever you need something. So, on the wedding day, there is no doubt about who is showing up, it's them. It's been them all along. And I don't know what else you could ask for in regards to your photographers. 2. Their professionalism. From the day we reached out they showed us nothing but impeccable professionalism. They were timely in every email response (usually less than 24 hours), on our wedding day, they were early, and literally stayed with us until we were walking out of the venue ourselves, and then, getting our pictures to us. I have heard nightmare stories from my friends about chasing down their photographers, but not Drew & Angela. They had our photos to us in less than a month, and all we can say is WOW. They also worked seamlessly with our videographer. There was never an issue or needing to re-do anything because they are just the kindest and nicest people to work with. 3. Them. My husband and I are awkward. But we knew that Drew and Angela would make us feel comfortable. They spent the day quoting movie lines with us, talking about our beloved pets, and we never felt like we were being forced into awkward poses. We had shared our vision with what we wanted, and they made it come to life and even better than we could have ever asked for. 4. The feedback. Even as the wedding was happening, we had our guests coming up to us complimenting us how amazing they were. People were telling us how they were "everywhere, and yet not there" never making people feel awkward or that they were intruding on a perfect moment. But, they captured them. They captured all of them. I can't even begin express how happy we are with the pictures. They found cute moments,people raging, and even got an entire group of teachers to look in one direction for a table picture, which, up until now, I thought was the impossible task. We wish we had another major event for them to photograph for us in the near future, but sadly, we can't bring them on our honeymoon to Italy with us. However, we will leave with this: if you are looking for artistic, beautiful and genuine photos, book the Willinghams. They will capture everything and more about your wedding day. From a quick fireball shot with your girls while getting ready, to the laughs you share with your soon to be husband, and every small and intimate moment with your guests in between. You are dealing with wonderful people who truly just want to make you feel amazing on your day, and they will. They are one of kind and they make you feel that way as well. Don't keep looking. Book the Willinghams. You will not regret it!

She returned our photos so much faster than we expected, and every image exceeded our expectations.

Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day, and we'll treasure these beautiful memories for a lifetime. We couldn't recommend Blain Raines Photography more highly to any couple looking for a talented and reliable wedding photographer.

I have been so honored to have worked with Sarah with Shuttergram Portraits!…read more While she is primarily a wedding photographer, she makes me want to get my vows renewed JUST to have her artwork of me in a white gown next to my husband. I hired Sarah for a pregnancy announcement, maternity, and family portraits before my husband deployed. She amazes me how she can create BEAUTY in the most unlikely of places. From working with her indoors, to the early AM, and a sunset session, she knows how to manipulate light to work with her style and brand. Fast delivery, constant communication, and very efficient with her time! Thank you again Sarah for you are truly gifted at what you do!

Nicole is amazing…read more David and I kind of eloped in the sense that we planned our wedding on very short notice and moved it up (it was planned for 2018 but we moved it to 2017 and had 7 weeks to plan). I had to find a photographer asap and we reached out to Nicole from a friend's recommendation. I'm very happy it worked out this way. She was AWESOME! Especially if you have a small wedding (We had about 50 people) , she offers good deals on small weddings/elopements. Even regardless, she is a steal because she throws in an engagement session, FO' FREE. Our engagement and wedding pictures were stunning. She is a warm, friendly individual with a lot of talent in outdoor photography. We got soooo many compliments. Our pictures looked unreal, straight out of an outdoor wedding magazine! I recommend her for any photography outdoor related. Do itt!! Book her!! You can't fake her natural talent.

As soon as I got engaged last year, the first vendor that I wanted to find was our wedding…read morephotographer. I knew it was going to be a difficult task, given that I myself am a photographer and designer, so visuals were at the absolute top of my list. When we found Nicole we couldn't believe how easy she was to work with. We scheduled our engagement photo session in Santa Barbara one cloudy day and got to know her and her ultra helpful husband Scott. My now husband does not like to be in photographs. In fact, after a decade of being together, the engagement shoot was our first formal portrait session that we had ever taken. He was nervous, and so was I - but Nicole made us feel completely at ease. She was great at making us feel loose and worked with us to make sure we felt comfortable. Our photos came out amazing, and everyone we showed them to agreed! Months later, she took the time to speak with me before the wedding to go over every aspect that was important for me to capture. She was incredibly patient with me, since like I said, I am quite detail oriented! All throughout the process I always felt that she was part of "my team" and that I could count on her for whatever was needed. On the actual wedding day I was nervous of course but she worked wonders to capture the best possible photos in every location. From the bride getting ready shots, to the first look photos, to our sunset photos - she got it all! And the photos she took were spectacular! She even continued to photograph when our venue apparently forgot to prepare the vendor's dinner! Some things on the wedding day, you can't plan for, and she was so easy going despite that setback. Through hunger and fatigue she was still there capturing our day, which is more than we would have ever asked for! We're so grateful that we found Nicole and know that every couple who works with her will be over the moon with her results!! Her professionalism will astound you, as even her business cards and wedding media delivery are breathtaking!!

I paid $2,550 for my wedding photography and genuinely regret choosing this photographer. After…read moreposting an honest negative review, she even threatened legal action--despite having no grounds for it. It made me wonder how many couples before me have been pressured into silence. The online gallery she uses is extremely outdated and unreliable. It took me EIGHT attempts to download my own wedding photos--and I'm a software engineer on gigabit fiber. The issue was not on my end; her server repeatedly failed. Earlier in October, her gallery also included at least one photo that appeared to be warped by AI (two versions of the same image, one with my face oddly altered and facing the wrong direction). She said the final edits would be uploaded later, so I planned to re-download everything once those were ready. But by November, the gallery kept failing and I couldn't reliably access the finalized version at all. I wish I could upload the AI-warped photo here so others could see what I mean, but her contract prevents clients from sharing images in "unauthorized" ways--and based on her legal threats, I'm afraid she'd try to sue. The bigger problem: the USB drive included in my package--the backup in case the gallery failed--never arrived. She mailed it through USPS with no insurance or protection. When it went missing, USPS couldn't help, and the tracking number went nowhere. When I told her plainly that the USB never arrived and the gallery was repeatedly failing, her response was essentially: "Too bad. Pay again." She wanted $68.95 for a replacement and offered no assistance with the gallery issues. Refusing to replace a missing deliverable that represents a tiny fraction of the $2,550 I already paid felt shockingly stingy and unprofessional. She could have replaced it--she simply chose not to. And here's what should concern any bride: If the gallery had completely failed and the USB was lost, we would have had no access to our final edited wedding photos at all, despite paying thousands of dollars. No reputable photographer should ever leave clients in that position. Update: Only after I warned her that I would be leaving a negative review--and then actually posted it--did she finally offer to send a replacement USB. A few days later, USPS unexpectedly located the original package at a different facility, over a month after it had been marked "delivered." I picked it up and told her a replacement was no longer needed. Her reaction? She took that opportunity to double down and blame ME for USPS' mistakes, implying I hadn't done my "due diligence," even though we had visited the post office multiple times and called in, visited the tracking site, and in all attempts was told there was nothing they could do. A professional vendor insures important shipments, ensures deliverability, and advocates for their clients--not points fingers. To make matters worse, I later learned from my wedding venue who recommended her that -- independent of my complaint -- that they already happened to have removed her from their preferred vendor list prior to any outreach from me due to other unrelated, but repeated, issues they had with her independently which they had already given her feedback for, and which she was unable to improve on. Therefore, it appears that the concerns I experienced were not an isolated case. Apparently my wedding was the last wedding she would be photographing at my venue because she was already discontinued by the time I mentioned my problem to them. In my experience, when something goes wrong, she does not take responsibility and instead blames the client. With a once-in-a-lifetime event like a wedding, that is not a risk I would ever take again. Update #2: She later responded to my review claiming that I had already downloaded my photos in October. Sure okay -- I downloaded what was available back then after multiple attempts as well, but those files included the warped AI-looking image, which obviously meant they weren't the finalized edits. Who realistically would settle for that instead of asking that the final versions of the photos of their wedding they paid thousands for be provided? In her response she says, "This matter has been resolved and the client has received everything included in the contract." Sure, technically the gallery photos and USB eventually made it here, but during that whole process, it was pretty awful having to deal with her constant assumptions & blame, dismissiveness, repeated evasions of responsibility, and threats of legal action being taken against me for complaining.

There are not enough nice words to say about Race and Jess and how fantastic these pair are as wedding photographer/videographer. From the very first contact, they were prompt in responding, patient, understanding and accommodating. Nothing was a problem and they were just a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. We also want to mention how lovely these two were on the day itself. They were calm, happy and genuinely interested in the two of us and our friends and families. They also stayed beyond their scheduled time in order to capture all the different aspects of the day which was so kind. When Race messaged me that the video would be ready soon, we got so excited (and also because it was sent the day before Dustin's birthday). Dustin and I watched it together and just cried because of how it was beautifully made. It was perfect! Every one who's seen it said nothing but praises and how it also made them cry. Our photographs are absolutely spectacular and no matter how times we have looked at them since, we always comment on how lucky we were to have Race and Jess. Thank you so much for all your help in making our wedding day absolutely perfect and in doing an amazing job at capturing all the very best moments of the day! You guys are truly the best!

Heck- they were even willing to hike to the waterfall with us taking awesome candid shots along the way! Since your wedding is such an emotional day, it is important to have friendly faces behind that camera. AJ and Nikki were able to have fun with us and capture the most important day of our lives with ease, grace, and a smile on their face. Simply put Nicolas Negatives blew all the other Pinterest photos out of the water! They captured the moment and feeling of the morning perfectly.
