We would absolutely recommend Danielle to capture your wedding day, especially if you are having…read moreyour wedding at Nestldown. She was highly professional, was easy to communicate with, and knew exactly what she was doing on the wedding day. Her attention to detail was abundant in the way she looked for the perfect lighting, in the timing to keep everything on schedule, and in her experience in finding all the perfect photo spots around Nestldown. She was also amazing at working with and around all our other vendors. We watched her work perfectly in tandem with Daniel Bowen from Matter Video, as they were able to help each other get the perfect shots for both the videos and the photos. Danielle is experienced and knows what she's doing. She has an eye for beautiful pictures and the experience to make the vision come to life. We would highly recommend choosing her as your wedding photographer. -Nickie & Jonathan, June 2025

Danielle is amazing in every way and her photos are incredible! We had the best time during our…read moreengagement shoot and we are in love with our photos. My fiancé and I do not have a lot of experience being photographed and we were pretty nervous. Her calm and relaxed demeanor helped us loosen up and be ourselves, it was such a fun bonding experience for us. She helped us with poses, giving us gentle direction so that we felt comfortable and confident. We received our photos quickly after the session and seeing what she captured brought tears to my eyes. The photos are gorgeous and really captured our love and laughter. In addition to our engagement photos, she also took some family photos of us and our dogs. She was patient, flexible, and creative with us and our senior dogs who don't love being photographed. She captured all of us in a beautiful way and we will cherish the photos forever. I truly cannot say enough about how wonderful Danielle is in every way. We will truly cherish these photos and the memories we made while taking them. Thank you, Danielle

We truly cannot say enough good things about Tony and his team! From the very beginning, Tony made…read moreus feel completely comfortable and at ease, and that carried through the entire wedding day. He has such a fun personality and made taking photos feel natural instead of awkward or overly posed. Tony and his team were genuinely so much fun to have at our wedding. They fit right in, kept us laughing, and added so much positive energy to the day. We have honestly talked about how we wish we could make having them around a yearly thing because we enjoyed them that much! And the photos... absolutely phenomenal. We are completely obsessed with how they turned out. Tony captured not only the big moments, but also so many little moments and emotions throughout the day that we will treasure forever. Looking through our gallery brought us right back to the wedding. We are beyond grateful to Tony and his team for giving us such an amazing experience and such beautiful memories to keep forever. We would recommend them over and over again!

But Tony is one of the best, and you won't go wrong hiring him and his team! We hired Tony for both our photos and wedding video, and were blown away by both. His team was super outgoing and fun to be around, and never felt like they were in the way. They were just there capturing the day. We told Tony that we didn't want a lot of really posed photos and that is exactly what we got, and then some. I'm so grateful to have all of the memories captured so beautifully..especially since the day is over in the blink of an eye. We can't wait to look at our photos and watch our video for the 50+ more years we hope to be married. Thank you Tony and team for the gift you have given us!

Do NOT hire this guy. Run, don't walk, away. I have never interacted with someone who was so…read moreincredibly unprofessional and, quite frankly, just rude. I hired Alexander, owner of IVYPNW Video, as a wedding gift for my brother & his fiancé. I signed the contract in November 2019 for their September 2020 wedding. When COVID hit the venue cancelled the wedding in June. Rather than reschedule the wedding date, my brother & his fiancé decided to move the venue to a private residence in California. I emailed Alexander as soon as the venue cancelled to explain the situation and inquired about a return of deposit. He told me that he would not refund my deposit but was willing to travel out-of-state for an additional fee and expenses (which was understandable). This was initially great news to hear, so I took that info back to the family to see if it was worth the additional investment. We decided to pay the extra money and told Alexander we'd be keeping the original contract date. That's when things went sideways. Alexander it seems had already booked another wedding on that very date. He told me he would try to move things around to accommodate both weddings and then Alexander then went silent for a few weeks and didn't communicate with us. But as the wedding date is closing in, I needed to know if he was either going to show up and video the wedding or refund my deposit - remember he double-booked this date. Alexander became aggressive, accusatory, and threatening. He referred to me as "childish" and unable to comprehend a contract. He sent multiple emails bashing me, my family, and the wedding, using words and language that I won't repeat here. Alexander is not someone I would want around my guests at a wedding or any event. I'm so glad he showed his true self and lack of professionalism before we exposed our guests to this person. Do yourself a favor and avoid a calamity. Chose another company for your wedding or special event. Literally, any other company.
