He found a beautiful spot for our family pictures (6 adults and 3 small children). Throughout the entire shoot he was very patient with our kids (even our 1 year old) and also very direct in what shots he thought would work. The photos turned out amazing and every single person was thrilled with the result !! Thanks again Steven !

Rachelle welling is top notch! We had both our engagement pictures and wedding photographed by Rachelle and she was my everything! She took care of all of the details prior to via our zoom calls ensuring we had listed out "must have photos" such as family member pictures with x family and grandma or to ensure we had some of my husband his mom and grandmother as we are so lucky to have her at 91 and every detail and her knowledge of the location prior to the event for pre planned ideas of cool pictures made things not only super easy but fun! I have never been asked for a vendor of any type more than I receive the question of "who photographed your wedding and did your engagement photos ?" Than I have from my experience with Rachelle. As background I was married before and also have used many photographers for my prior wedding but also for family photos and life milestones so I have had my share of experience and can say that Rachelle is not only incredibly skilled and organized but a true pleasure to be around and someone who genuinely cares as she does what she does to create a memory to hold onto for people's big life milestones and from maternity photographs to couples who have reached a milestone anniversary and everything in between she cares for each client as if it were her only one and a member of her own family. I guarantee you will not regret using Rachelle welling photography and highly recommend checking out her website and Instagram account to see more! https://www.rachellewelling.com/ https://www.rachellewelling.com/links https://instagram.com/rachelle.welling?utm_medium=copy_link

It's hard to know where to even begin a review for Alex. I wish there was an appropriately quick…read moreelevator speech that could sum up our gratitude for his photographic genius, calm demeanor and overall awesomeness throughout our wedding process. There was never a moment we doubted choosing Alex. We would choose him again and again and will reach out to him in the future for anniversary photography. Alex has a beautiful ability to capture all the emotions tucked beneath the surface. This is what we wanted above all else. Photography that went beyond the static and the smiles and the posing and the family portraits. Alex does just that. I know when we look back on our wedding images years from now we will be struck with the tidal wave of emotions we were feeling. The tidal wave of emotions that Alex so perfectly captured.

Alex far surpassed any expectations we had of him as our wedding photographer. We were initially…read moreattracted to his unconventional style, use of lighting and the emotion involved in his work. The vision behind his work was made evident to us when we first met him. His willingness to go the extra mile was displayed in our proposal shoot where he hid and captured the moment when my husband proposed to me. Throughout the course of our engagement, Alex was consistently willing to try new things and take risks when photographing us. During our engagement shoot, Alex walked through three feet of snow with us just to get the perfect shot! In between shoots, Alex wanted to catch up with us over dinner and always asked how we were doing or how he could help us out during the engagement process. He truly cared about us as a couple and wanted to invest in our relationship. From beginning to end, Alex communicated clearly with timelines and delivered earlier than promised. He did not cut any corners and made sure that we got exactly what we wanted and much more. The day of our wedding, Alex was such a calming presence, which was much appreciated amongst the overwhelming nature of that day. He collaborated beautifully with our videographer and day of team to capture every detail of our special day. Alex was light-hearted, optimistic and ready to crack a joke right when we needed it. My husband and I would HIGHLY recommend booking Alex for your proposal, engagement, and wedding. He's fairly priced, over delivers, and his work speaks for itself. We booked him as a photographer, but ended up making a great friend. So grateful for the memories that Alex captured!!
