Dena was absolutely everything we could have ever hoped for. From the very beginning, she listened to what we wanted. Our wedding was in the Pittsburgh area, but we live about 90 minutes away. Without hesitation, Dena offered to drive to us for our engagement session. She even drove up to the park earlier in the week to scout good photo locations. On top of all of this, we planned for part of our engagement shoot to be somewhat silly- wearing taco shirts and eating tacos as if on a picnic. Dena checked in several times to make sure we had all thing thins we needed: blanket, picnic basket, and even plastic bags to put under the blanket since it was wet out. Dena was very easy going and easy to work with. Our personalities just meshed. I wasn't always the quickest at emails (sorry Dena if you're reading this!), but she always followed up to make sure everything was in order. I always felt at ease when communicating with her which made me sure I'd be okay with having her around on our big day. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early and started taking pictures before I even knew she was there. We didn't have a long list of "must have" photos, but Dena made sure we got them all. I can't tell you how many of our guests said that it felt like our photographer was everywhere, and we were at a sprawling outside venue. But even so, if something was happening, Dena got a picture of it. Our photos clearly show that. The end results basically speak for themselves. We have over a thousand photos that capture our day better than we could ever imagine. We also have a handful of small gifts from Dena that she sent along the way. I think the biggest praise comes from my now husband who famously didn't have an opinion on anything wedding. As I told him I was writing this he said, "Dena was my favorite vendor." read more
