Handled the suboptimal conditions (mud everywhere, glaring sun, high winds that knocked things down) at the venue with ease and grace. Didn't even know they were there unless they were talking directly to us (stealthy!). Captured so many gorgeous photos and fun candids. They took our preferences into account- we got the types of photos that were important to us (and more!) and they were in the style we hoped for- natural, did not look heavily edited (and if they were you'd never know it!). Video clips and 1 min video montage were WONDERFUL. Many guests have commented how nicely they captured the essence of our day. Having both of them there was perfect - not only were they able to catch both sides of the wedding party getting ready in separate locations, but also the different angles of the same moments. We will enlist their services again for other events. They were fun and friendly and helpful, and we cannot say enough about Out of the Ordinary Photography!

She somehow always manages to get amazing shots even when working with families like ours with little kids who would much rather just run around than to sit still for a picture. We always get our digital copies very quickly, and lots of pictures to choose from too. Aimee is so accommodating and so easy to work with. We will definitely be working with her again soon!

Aimee is fantastic.

Aimee works incredibly well with children and was able to effortlessly (or so it seemed to us) get shots of each of our children (ages 6, 4 and 2) individually, as a group and our family in which every shot shows true joy. We will continue to use Aimee to document our family story.

If you don't read anything other than this first sentence, know that Carrie is hands-down one of…read morethe best, most personable and professional photographers I've ever encountered, if not one of the best human beings in the Albany Area! We did most of our wedding planning with Carrie via email and phone, since she's upstate and we live in PA, but there were never any issues with lack of response or changed meeting times. Carrie was, and still is, the upmost professional when it comes to her business, and she does absolutely everything in her power to put her clients first. When our wedding day finally came, Carrie was a calming presence. She rolled with the punches, the weather and our big crazy families, and did it all professionally with a smile on her face! Carrie not only kept us on-time for our couple and bridal party portraits, but we were actually early leaving for the church! When have you ever, EVER heard of an entire bridal party showing up to the church 25 minutes ahead of schedule?? She knew our bridal party's names ahead of time and was able to quickly place those names to faces, and she kept our entire group of 12 happy and laughing during our 45 minutes of photos. Carrie was amazing when it came to our reception, too--she blended in with our guests, popped up whenever one of our moms or a friend called to have a photo taken, and she graciously grabbed us away for 10 minutes during our 90's dance party to do a few evening shots. Honestly, we were on the fence with having her stay past 9 or doing evening shots, but I'm so, so glad we trusted Carrie's advice and did it anyway. It gave Chris and I a few moments together to soak everything in, and it gave us the most amazing photo of the day. It's only been 3 weeks and we know Carrie needs time to work her but we cannot wait to see how the rest of the photos turn out. I know that they'll be amazing, and that Carrie not only captured how our day looked, but how we felt and the emotions of our parents and guests. If possible, book Carrie for your wedding, your engagement photos, or just a sweetheart session to get some nicer photos of you and your partner or your family! She's honestly worth way more than her prices reflect, but I'm guessing her schedule is already getting pretty full since she's in such high demand! My partner and I highly recommend Carrie for any of your photography needs, and we cannot wait to continue to see her and get more photos taken as our family changes and grows in the coming years!! Thank you, Carrie, for being such an amazing person, and making our time together truly memorable!

Perhaps it is appropriate that words cannot capture the full extent of how amazing Carrie was in…read morephotographing our wedding. She was not only our photographer, but someone who made our wedding exponentially better! In short, book her immediately. From the moment we booked her, Carrie made sure to help walk us through every detail of the day. My husband and I felt like complete fish out of water when it came not only to weddings, but especially being photographed. Carrie made sure we felt comfortable and gave us tons of options and all the pros and cons to each. She never pushed us in any direction and always made sure we were firs and foremost comfortable and stress-free. When she arrived for our big day, she withstood below freezing temps in the Catskills and even offered to jump in on a hunt for our lost dog! All that speaks to Carrie's professionalism and genuinely amazing personality! However, her sheer artistic talent is also remarkable. She captured our day in the most authentic way possible, short of just experiencing it in the moment. When I look at the pictures she took (both the formal and the candid) I'm able to relive the most amazing day of my life in an honest and real way. Her photos truly speak for themselves. Carrie made both my husband and I feel so comfortable and all of our guests absolutely adored her! She was never intrusive or forced and somehow managed to be everywhere at once (which is crazy because she did the whole wedding by herself). I don't think we have ever had a better professional service in our lives (where the sheer talent, work ethic, AND personality are all exemplary). I cannot recommend CLH enough! It's one of (if not the biggest) days of of your life and Carrie will ensure that every moment of it is made timeless in photos!
