They made everything feel easy, were great to work with, and captured the moment beautifully. We're so grateful for their professionalism and for documenting such a special day so well.

My husband and I were so fortunate to work with Annie & David for our engagement photoshoot and…read morewedding. They were the first vendor we booked after securing our venue, so we got to know them over the course of the year leading up to our wedding in August 2025. After coming across their photos when researching different potential photographers that had experience at our venue, we were very interested in meeting them. We had an initial video call with them and knew immediately that we wanted to book them for such a critical part of our wedding journey. There aren't enough words to describe how skilled and professional they are--they are amazing photographers (individually and as a duo) and clearly love what they do. Our proposal photoshoot was the only prior experience we had in terms of taking professional photos as a couple. We met them in person for the first time at our engagement photoshoot--they immediately made us feel comfortable and were seriously thoughtful about the entire process, whether it was the location choices, minute-by-minute weather changes/forecast, outfit changes, etc. It really feels like they plan for everything and care about the little details. When we asked them about another vendor they would potentially work with on the day of our wedding, they even referenced notes they made when they had worked with them for a prior wedding. Throughout the whole process, they were prompt communicators (frequently responding to an email within minutes!) and guided us with experience and patience that we really appreciated. Whenever we had something to discuss with them (including choices we needed to make as a couple), they never hesitated to give us suggestions and feedback. Even if they offered an alternative suggestion to an idea of ours, it always felt like they genuinely cared and they wanted what we wanted, and it never felt like criticism. We received our wedding photos just about 2 months after our wedding, and we love every single one of them (all 667)! They are truly the best photographers to work with and just lovely people to be around. We definitely plan to keep in touch with them for future photoshoots! :) TL;DR: You should have booked A Tale Ahead Photography yesterday!!

She didn't just show up with a camera -- she checked in with me, offered thoughtful ideas, and really made sure the vision came to life. What truly stands out about Yessica is how attentive and intentional she is. She guides you without making you feel posed or stiff. For my family portraits, she captured such genuine, beautiful moments -- the kind you look at and immediately feel something. And my boudoir session? Absolutely empowering. She created such a safe, confident space that allowed me to fully enjoy the experience. Her studio is stunning and welcoming, and you can tell she has poured so much care into creating that environment. I felt comfortable, celebrated, and honestly just beautiful. I highly, highly recommend Yessica . If you're thinking about booking -- do it. You won't regret it.

Highly recommend Yesika for your photography needs and we will definitely be back to capture more special moments in the years to come.

He was so easy going and chill to work with the entire time. When we first met with him, we planned to do a 50 person local wedding, BUT our plans changed to a 130+ person wedding nearly 2 hours away almost the day after we met with him lol. Jacob was so down for the change and was excited for what we had planned. Jacob and his partner, Jacqy did our engagement shoot and our wedding. They were phenomenal. During the engagement shoot, they made us feel so comfortable. We were so worried as we felt we weren't very photogenic. They were able to ease our nerves and made it such a fun experience! The photos turned out better than we expected. For our wedding, they were quick to get our shots and flexible with our timeline. They both kept it calm, cool and collected, which we needed. We're so happy with our experience with them. Jacob was even able to send our sneak peeks in less than 24 hours!! They were such great shots. We cannot wait to see our full gallery and relive our day all over again. If you're looking for a photographer, you've found him! Jacob is so easy to work with and you can just tell he truly loves capturing those special moments for his clients. We will definitely be hiring him again in the future if we ever need another photographer.

We are so glad we went with Jacob as our photographer, and we would recommend him to anyone!

On the actual wedding day, Eric and Gladys were superstars! I had an extensive photo list and they worked hard to get all of the photos that were important to us. We are so happy we found them and can't wait to work with them again!

The communication leading up to the event was handled with such professionalism and grace. I appreciated the fact that Eric in particular took my outline of what needed to be done, but added his spin on how to make things better. Unbelievable and better than what I came up with! I would certainly advocate, promote, and recommend Eric and Gladys' business because of the quality of work they performed, the patience and grace they exhibited, and how well organized they were in getting things under control. My family and I are eternally grateful for what you have done. Thank you again Eric and Gladys! You'll always have a spot at our table if / when we need your services again for another major family event!

From a guy's perspective:…read moreI recently had to take engagement pictures and I'm not the type that likes to do a lot of posing and I don't necessarily feel like I'm the most photogenic person in the world but it was really fun being out and about with Lindsay. She helped us find some really great looking locations, she made the whole thing fun and made me and my fiance feel really comfortable and when I saw the pictures I was surprised to see how the pictures came out with us looking really good (I knew my finance would look beautiful no matter what but I guess I felt like I didn't look too out of place next to her.) Lindsay was really fast getting edited pictures back to us and the whole experience working with her convinced me to get on yelp and write her a review. I would recommend her to all my friends.

From the very beginning, Eric was incredibly responsive and helpful. Even before our shoot, he shared great tips and answered all our questions, which made us feel confident and excited going into the day. On the day of our wedding, Eric showed up early and was extremely professional. His talent and vision were clear right away. My husband and I aren't the most experienced when it comes to posing, but Eric guided us through everything so naturally. One of the best parts? The turnaround time. He sent us a sneak peek of the photos just a few hours after the shoot -- and they already looked amazing! By the next day, he sent over all the unedited photos so we could choose our favorites. The final edits came back in just a week, and you could tell he put a lot of time and effort into each image. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely kind photographer, I highly recommend Eric. He captured our special day beautifully and made the whole process easy and enjoyable!

We shortly got a link to pick out our favorite 25 pictures and despite us taking forever to get back to her, it only took Denise about 1-2 weeks to finish the final edits. We received beautiful, gorgeous, well-edited photos that we can't wait to share with our family and friends. Denise also gave us some black & white duplicates and threw in a couple of other photos she liked as well! Denise was just the sweetest and a very professional photographer. It was such a pleasure to work with her. I was really nervous about how the photos would turn out but Denise made the whole process so comfortable and smooth!! Thank you!!
