I couldn't be happier with deciding to hire Justin for my proposal photography. He was quick and…read moreprofessional in setting up the details, and kept clear communication with me in the planning stages. I think one of the most undervalued aspects of his proposal service is his advice/suggestions on how, when, and where a great proposal in Austin can happen. He even scouted out different places for me to check the conditions! After comparing his services and prices against other proposal photographers in Austin, he definitely had the best bang for your buck. The photoshoot itself was great. Justin was waiting for us and captured the special moment, and the mini photo-shoot after the proposal turned out really well! What blew me away was that he offered to drive to a completely different location, 15 minutes away, to continue our "mini-photoshoot" at another scenic spot! He was so flexible and willing to go the extra mile for us...all without increasing the price! Plus, Justin is just a friendly person, so it was great getting to know him and work with him. I would highly recommend Max Photography to anyone looking for proposal, engagement or wedding photographers! Thanks again, Justin!

We cannot say how thankful we were to have Justin as our reception photographer! He made the whole…read morephoto process at our reception go by seamlessly as he was so easy going and great to work with. The photos we received from Justin are gorgeous to say the least - he is extremely talented with lighting and framing! If we wanted a picture with a specific group of people at our reception, Justin did not hesitate to capture the moment. He was very easy to communicate via email before our reception and made sure to get all the details he needed before our big day. Justin was able to capture the complete vibe of our reception and we are so grateful! Cannot recommend him enough!

I felt that Adam was interested in the vision that I wanted. Adam and his team caught some amazing moments at our wedding. I STILL look back at my photos and videos and can't stop smiling. It's the closest thing to reliving it. I received a photo peak almost immediately after the wedding and a highlight video no more than a month after. The day of the wedding I didn't feel stressed with this team whatsoever. They were extremely professional and knew EXACTLY what I wanted. Needless to say I was VERY pleased with Adam and his team. If you are looking for a personable and affordable experience for your wedding photography needs go to DOUBLE KNOT!!

We ended up cancelling with our previous photographer and going with DK because they offered a package that included photography and videography, along with engagement photos. After the engagement shoot, there were somethings I brought attention to that I wanted to be different at our wedding. Adam was extremely helpful and saw to that our media team the day of was informed of what we were looking for. They exceeded our expectations, communicated thoroughly throughout the entire wedding day and were incredibly sweet. We received our wedding media under 3 months and couldn't have been happier. I've looked through the pictures countless times, watched the 4 minute highlight reel multiple times as well.. plus we got the documentary film which was about an hour long. It was so much fun watching everything from someone else's point of view. Thank you to the DK team for making this such a wonderful experience!

On our initial meeting she answered all my questions and doubts, and let us know exactly what to expect. When my baby ahead of schedule, Heather was very accomodating, and adjusted her busy schedule that day in order to make it to the delivery on time! She took awesome photos, and stayed in touch with us during our most difficult moments at NICU. Heather is a truly genuine person, the kind of what-you-see-is-what-you-get type. She is very open minded, and approachable. She will make you feel super comfy on the photoshoots, and her work is just amazing!! Overall we are very very pleased. Keep up the good work!

From our very…read morefirst email exchange, Heather was gracious and patient with me as I tried to describe the style of photos I was hoping for. I was wanting to document my body in this very incredible state in a more portrait style setting. While my pregnancy had been extremely joyful, it hadn't necessarily been all rainbows and sunshine; I really wanted the photos to capture that. Heather. Gallagher. Delivered. Many of the photos were nude portraits, and Heather made me feel 100% comfortable and beautiful, even though it was 1,000 degrees in June and I weighed about 1,000 lbs :) They turned out so beautifully, and I had a blast! Photos I will cherish forever and ever. Sadly, since many of the photos were nude, I wasn't comfortable with Heather sharing them on her public portfolio. I hated that for her, but she was super understanding and honored my wishes. She had them edited and ready very quickly. I can't recommend this woman enough!!

One can never learn too much. I learned a lot from Madeleine's class. It motivated me to keep on learning, shooting, and using Lightroom to organize my work. I'm using her organizing tips to better find an show off my work. She urged me to work on my weaknesses like portrait and candid people photos. I benefited from her constructive comments on my work. She has motivated me to look more critically at light, composition, color, and subject matter. I gained a better understanding of both the art and the craft of photography. I thoroughly enjoyed her class and would recommend it to anyone from beginner to serious amateur. PJ

Madeleine helped me with my video and photography shoot for my Pilates Studio and online classes…read more She brought an assistant with her and both were very professional. She helped me figure out some difficult technology so that I can film some things on my own. I was familiar with her work already, because she had done a photo shoot for our family, which I absolutely love. Madeleine seems to have an amazing ability to capture the inner spirit of the people she is photographing. I have worked with a lot of photographers over my career and Madeleine is still one of my very favorites and I would hire her again. Can't recommend her enough! She also has a really easy personality and very flexible, which is so important for photo and video shoots great with suggesting different colors, backgrounds, etc.

We are giving 2 stars because this was a very important part of our wedding day, and those photos never happened. We had clearly communicated ahead of time that we wanted photos at UT Austin since it's where my wife and I met. We provided detailed parking information, and she mentioned that she had previously taken photos at the university, so we did not anticipate any issues. Unfortunately, she did not arrive at the university in time, and those photos never happened. It was especially disappointing because we even saw another bride and groom meeting their photographer who arrived as planned. Those pictures were meaningful to us, and there was no way to recreate that moment with everyone. It also put a damper on the day because the rest of our wedding party arrived on time and were ready for photos. It was awkward having everyone gathered and waiting without a photographer there, especially after we had planned so carefully around that location.She did offer to stay an extra hour for the after-party and to schedule another session on a different day. We appreciate her effort to make it right; however, after-party coverage wasn't something we had planned or prioritized, and it didn't replace the significance of the UT Austin photos. Rescheduling would have required another trip and redoing hair and makeup, and we were leaving immediately afterward for our honeymoon, making it unrealistic. Overall, while the final images were solid, missing such an important and clearly communicated location was very disappointing and took away from what should have been a seamless part of our wedding day.

Creatrix Photography - There were so many great photos, but this was one of my favorites from my wedding day. Jenna has a great was of capturing true moments.

I feel like I don't even need to write a review. Jenna's work and previous reviews explains it…read moreALL. But you know, if you want to know my honest story: I am in the wedding business. I had a client who was not so happy with her wedding photographer but was in LOVE with his engagement session shooter. Guess who that was? They loved loved Jenna! I honestly have not had the honor of working with Jenna on the professional level but think its much more important to describe what it's like on a client level. We (my husband and I) are not photogenic people. We hate posing for photos unless we have had something to drink (and by something I mean a lot!). But I knew our time for couple photos on our wedding was limited (though our photographer then did a great job!) and we scheduled this session with Jenna. I loved working with Jenna because she would shout directions at us. She wouldn't force us into anything but a little guidance is always appreciated - especially for those of us who DON 'T model you know? She literally made a 2ft width space of grass look like a field...who does that???!!!??? Thank you Jenna!!!!!

She is unique from other wedding photographers that I saw in that her photos portray colors vividly and boldly. She has an incredibly inclusive and diverse business and is accepting of all different wedding and couple types! Jenna as a person really tries to get to know you and she even took us out to dinner just to chat a few weeks before our big day! We absolutely loved our photos from our engagement shoot and our wedding - most of the important moments were captured in beautifully vivid color. We had an Indian fusion wedding and chose her because we saw another Indian fusion wedding she had done in which we fell in love with her photography style. That said, there is a certain dramatic style and culturally specific type of photos that Indian weddings usually have and I felt that I missed out on some of those types of photos (even though we are not a fan of overly dramatic to begin with and she already adds a good amount of drama to her photos!). There could have been a little more cultural exploration there and of course that will come with her practicing on Indian weddings. Regardless, I am so glad I took a chance on her because we were really happy with the results for a totally reasonable price for wedding photographers. Would certainly recommend her in general! And for Indian weddings, just make sure you work with her to tell and show her exactly what you're looking for, but she can definitely give you the drama you're looking for!
