Things could have gone so, so poorly, but instead I got a social media recommendation to check out Alecs Kay Photography. From the beginning, I was very impressed. In one of our initial emails, Alecs proposed a photo timeline for the day which took into account our existing plans and venues, our individual requests, and the season. Alecs did her best to help us, a clueless couple, navigate the wedding planning process. Her blog was a great source of information, and after we'd signed the agreement she sent us a welcome kit that included a book she'd put together with some sample photos and advice. She recommended vendors when I asked, and was very responsive in answering any questions. She managed to walk the fine line of being an advisor without ever making us feel pressured. She recommends doing a first look, but when we said we weren't interested she didn't try to insist. In one case, I ended up choosing a vendor she didn't recommend, and she never showed any sign of disapproval. It was quite clear that to Alecs, our wedding photos were about us. She didn't treat the day as an opportunity to get samples for her portfolio, instead she was concerned with making sure we were comfortable and had the shots we wanted. She had us fill out a detailed survey of all the groups we wanted photos of, and then she made a point to follow it. She normally offers an engagement shoot as part of a package deal, but since my fiance and I had already had an engagement shoot, I asked if she could do a boudoir shoot instead. She happily agreed, even though it wasn't a specialty of hers and required some extra research and planning on her part. Since we had never met in person I was surprised at how quickly we developed a rapport. I expected some degree of awkwardness since we were essentially business contacts meeting at a formal event, but she quickly set everyone at ease. Anyone who didn't know better might think she was an old family friend who was doing this as a favor. After the wedding, she was very prompt about editing and sharing our photos. One major plus, and a big reason why I signed the contract in the first place, was that all the digital photo files were included in the standard package price. (This may just be my own pet peeve, but I positively HATE IT when photography package prices are based on a handful of prints or a printed book, while the digital files are protected like trade secrets. What century are we in, anyway? I'm going to share these photos on Facebook long before I get around to framing them.) Overall, I was extremely impressed with Alecs, and would definitely recommend her to other couples. She is outgoing, considerate, and a great photographer to boot. I'm not planning to get married again any time soon, but if I was I would certainly work with her again.

We appreciate how efficient, professional, laid-back you were the day of our wedding. We were also impressed with quickly we were able to view the proofs from our big day. We would not have been as happy with any other photographer, I am sure of it! The coverage you provided us with was amazing. You were there at 1:00 and didn't leave until you had all the shots you wanted, which was well into the dance. You really captured the casual "lake" personality of our wedding. We love how you didn't spend a ton of time positioning us into awkward positions. Your candid style of photography produced really touching photos. You were also so respectful of our three families and made sure to get all the important groupings that we had requested. We are so happy to have photos and video that we can look back on and remember our wedding day! We have had countless people view our proofs and video and everyone agrees that they are simply beautiful. We really appreciated everything you did for us starting with our engagement photo session, the childhood montage you put together for us, and the remarkable amount of photos and video footage that you took on our wedding day! Everyone who was at our wedding said, "Your photographer did a wonderful job, he just seemed to be at the right spot at the right time." Thank you for doing just that! You captured moments that we did not even realize had happened. Wow! We both highly recommend you as a wedding photographer. You are truly in a class by yourself. Professional, efficient, and laid-back all describe you! Thank you so much! Sincerely, Tyler and Lyndee Heser
