Alright everybody, grab a beer because this review is going to be a long one, but pay attention people, I going to help you pick a great wedding vendor. I am going to tell you about DPARK, a.k.a BEST photographers in this business (I might be biased but I am never wrong haha). After 2 engagement sessions (one on land and one on sea) and a 14-hour wedding shoot (I know, overkill), I think I am more or less qualify to say they are totally LEGIT. Oh, did I mention we worked with all 4 of their main photographers (Drexelle, David, Russell and Cara)? Yea, they are beyond LEGIT!!
During the whole time, Drexelle is very responsive to my emails, and answered all the crazy questions I had in preparation for the wedding. During our first engagement at Disney Concert Hall, we also met her husband, David, and we also love him very much. They are clearly very good at what they do and it showed because they made the whole thing very relaxing. We are awkward people and we want amazing photos (ironic huh?). But their professional guidance and expertise made it more than possible. They also are so much fun to talk to and they make us laugh nonstop. The pictures came out amazing, my fiancé kept looking at our photos and complimenting how they managed to capture his beautiful face. I know it's a good sign when photographers paid as much attention to the groom as much as bride, haha.
And of course, the camera whore in me didn't have enough pictures, we want another engagement shoot at the beach! And of course, they were so sweet to accommodate us the week before our wedding. The second e-shoot was at Victoria Beach and it was so much fun was well. Well, it was fun for us but I can tell they were risking their lives to take some of the pictures. Drexelle and David constantly guide us and tell us where to look, how to bend our knees, etc, but these small details made a huge difference in the final outcome. I really appreciate how much they care and the attention they put into making us look amazing. And just as expected, they managed to capture all the beautiful moments in the most artistic ways. Once again, we are obsessed with our pictures. Like seriously, all the celebrities look great because they have amazing photographers. With DPARK, we feel like we have a chance with Hollywood (for real...we are going to sign up to America's top models).
Wedding day...this time they brought out almost the whole DPARK family. We had the pleasure of working with David, Cara, and Russell. From the moment they came, we knew we were in good hands. David made me feel so relaxed and composed. He knew exactly what to do and all the perfect shots to take. He's so good taking photos I am sure he can take them in his sleep. Cara....oh man, how we adore her! She is so much fun to be around. She has this ability to make people laugh and feel beautiful. And of course, all her pictures are super hot. I love her all shots with me and my bridesmaids. She always helped us fix our hair and our poses to make sure everyone looks good. This is very important as I noticed not every photographer pays attention to the little details or the bridesmaids. And Russell...he's such a sweetheart and all the groomsmen adore him so much. They said he is so funny and so easy to talk to. He only takes pictures when the pose is perfect. I like how he tells us exactly what to do and at the same time he makes us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. I love how creative all 3 of them are and they took every single photo we asked for and even more. As a team, they have ability to bring out the best in us and at the same time encouraged us to stay true to who we are (goofy, psycho, and funny).
Looking at our photos now, I can tell you need them in your life! I am beyond grateful somehow they manage to find the beauty in our awkwardness. So in short:
