I couldn't be happier with deciding to hire Justin for my proposal photography. He was quick and…read moreprofessional in setting up the details, and kept clear communication with me in the planning stages. I think one of the most undervalued aspects of his proposal service is his advice/suggestions on how, when, and where a great proposal in Austin can happen. He even scouted out different places for me to check the conditions! After comparing his services and prices against other proposal photographers in Austin, he definitely had the best bang for your buck. The photoshoot itself was great. Justin was waiting for us and captured the special moment, and the mini photo-shoot after the proposal turned out really well! What blew me away was that he offered to drive to a completely different location, 15 minutes away, to continue our "mini-photoshoot" at another scenic spot! He was so flexible and willing to go the extra mile for us...all without increasing the price! Plus, Justin is just a friendly person, so it was great getting to know him and work with him. I would highly recommend Max Photography to anyone looking for proposal, engagement or wedding photographers! Thanks again, Justin!

The photos we received from Justin are gorgeous to say the least - he is extremely talented with lighting and framing! If we wanted a picture with a specific group of people at our reception, Justin did not hesitate to capture the moment. He was very easy to communicate via email before our reception and made sure to get all the details he needed before our big day. Justin was able to capture the complete vibe of our reception and we are so grateful! Cannot recommend him enough!

We could not possibly be more pleased with her professionalism, attention to detail, personal touch, and overall cheerful demeanor. Every step of the process was stress-free, and Elissa even went above and beyond on several occasions by mailing us chocolate (always a plus), and helping us get an idea of what to expect from other parts of the wedding planning process completely unrelated to photography. Beyond her incredible diligence (all of our wedding photos were edited and posted online before we returned from our honeymoon), Elissa is also a very talented photographer who is very light on her feet. For the most part, we hardly noticed her presence (with the exception of some great, and amusing direction during the crazy family formal shots), but the photos indicate that she has a way of being everywhere at once! My mother-in-law actually expressed concern on the wedding day that she thought the entire ceremony had only been photographed from behind my wife, such that there would be no photos of her face during a very emotional event. When I saw that there were in fact gorgeous, artful and intimate photos from just about every angle--I was relieved and elated that my MOL's worries were proven to be baseless (aren't they always? haha). Elissa clearly takes great joy, and great pride in her work. I have no doubt that whatever you hire her to shoot, you will be blown away by the results.

From the moment we first met Jamie, we knew she was the perfect photographer for us. She…read moreimmediately understood our vision for a vintage Bollywood-inspired engagement shoot, and her creativity shone through in every shot. She has a knack for capturing our personalities and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We're still obsessed with those photos! On our wedding week, Jamie was an absolute dream to work with. She showed up for our Mehndi, Haldi, Sangeet, Wedding and Reception back to back with the same energy throughout. She effortlessly blended into the festivities, catching candid moments that truly captured the essence of our cultural celebrations. She has extensive knowledge on the important moments to capture in an Indian wedding. She even offered to help fix little kinks in my hair and outfits, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Not even a week later we already had some preview photos from her to gush over with our family and friends. Zach was equally talented. He has a keen eye for detail and would somehow be everywhere the action was happening. We were particularly impressed with his patience and respect for our space, as well as his willingness to accommodate our requests. We are super excited to see the video he has been preparing especially after seeing the incredible photos they provided. Jamie and Zach worked seamlessly together, and their combined talents resulted in stunning visuals. We can't thank Jamie and Zach enough for their incredible work. They truly exceeded our expectations, and we wish they could be there to capture all our favorite moments in life!

And boy did we make a great decision! We couldn't have been happier working with her and how beautiful our wedding photographs turned out. As a queer couple, it was very important for me and my wife to feel comfortable with the photographer we worked with. Julie flew out to California and from the minute she arrived she was all smiles. Julie brings a genuine joy to her work as well as a calm confidence that let us know we were in good hands. We were able to truly be in the moment in front of the camera and Julie was able to capture our joy and love so beautifully. She was also able to capture whole wedding itself and navigate our families (no small task). Everyone felt at ease in front of the camera. Aesthetically our pictures were even better than we could have hoped for. Julie brings a real artistry to her work and her level of professionalism is phenomenal. If you're wondering whether you should hire Julie, stop wondering. The answer is YES YES YES!

She got back to me immediately and sent me her 'wedding package' services. Sadly, I realized I could not afford her, so I replied back with that message. She kindly got back to me asking what my budget was and the date of my wedding. She was happy to work with me. Surely, having a wedding on a Friday instead of a Saturday may have helped. None the less, Julie agreed to photograph my wedding for set hours. I received timely emails regarding payments, questionnaires regarding the wedding, and timelines. I loved her organization. She showed up on the date of the wedding right on time and got to work quickly. She was good at directing people, but also patient with more difficult family/people. She made everyone feel at ease. One week after the wedding, I received the most beautiful preview slideshow! https://juliewilhitephotography.smartslides.com/tammy-jacks-wedding It's amazing she was able to produce this so quickly, especially since Thanksgiving fell between my wedding and when she sent it! My husband and I love watching the video and reliving the evening, and it brought my family to tears. I haven't even received my photos yet, but I cannot rave enough about Julie! I have full confidence this was the best investment I made and I cannot wait to get the rest of my images! Thank you Julie!!!

Double Knot has been an excellent company to work with! Adam has been extremely responsive and…read morehelpful throughout our entire experience. We ended up cancelling with our previous photographer and going with DK because they offered a package that included photography and videography, along with engagement photos. After the engagement shoot, there were somethings I brought attention to that I wanted to be different at our wedding. Adam was extremely helpful and saw to that our media team the day of was informed of what we were looking for. They exceeded our expectations, communicated thoroughly throughout the entire wedding day and were incredibly sweet. We received our wedding media under 3 months and couldn't have been happier. I've looked through the pictures countless times, watched the 4 minute highlight reel multiple times as well.. plus we got the documentary film which was about an hour long. It was so much fun watching everything from someone else's point of view. Thank you to the DK team for making this such a wonderful experience!

As any bride planning a wedding knows, there are so many huge decisions that you have to make and…read moreso many different people that you have to put all of your trust into. For me personally, one of the most important decisions I needed to make was choosing a photographer and videographer as these are the only people who can truly help preserve every moment of our wedding day. I was an out of state bride (I live in Seattle but go married in Austin), and did SO much research into finding the right fit for us that was within a reasonable budget. After countless phone calls and emails with different photo/video teams, something just clicked when I found Double Knot. From beginning to end, they were just seamless. Most of our initial communication was via email and Adam was always extremely responsive and answered all of my crazy questions. My first major decision, and my best one, was hiring Double Knot for our February wedding at Log Country Cove (also a wonderful decision!). I flew to Austin a few months before our wedding and was able to meet with Adam and Kayla in person. I left feeling such a sense of relief as I knew that I was in good hands. It was actually kind of funny because when we left (my neighbor who is in her 50s) commented on how young they were. And that's what I loved! As someone who went to art school herself, I know how crucial it is to have someone who actually is up to date on everything. Photography and videography are both arts individually, but there is so much behind the scenes work (hours and hours of editing) that are required for weddings and I knew that I wanted a team that was fresh, current and hungry. That is 100% what you get with Double Knot. Adam and Kayla have this awesome balance of extreme professionalism but also of making you feel like they are friends that you've known for years. I was comfortable around them and it came through in all of the photos and videos. Wedding morning/day was complete chaos for me and I was finishing up so many last minute things. Adam was there to listen to my crazy banter, and even add in some himself, and somehow I think his presence actually calmed me down in some of those moments. Even when I was talking a mile a minute and anxiously joking, Adam was just chill and relaxed. I think that if I had an older team I just wouldn't have been as laid back as I was. *not knocking older photographers...just sayin' that this definitely played into my comfort level during a stressful morning. The Double Knot team really took the the reigns setting up some beautiful shots and just let me and my bridesmaids do our thing. The Groomsmen were all getting ready at a different house on property, and yet still, Adam and Kayla managed to capture so many wonderful moments at both. My husband and the groomsmen clearly felt comfortable around them because some of their group photos are hilarious! Kayla has such awesome direction with her photography and really feeds off of your energy. She's tiny and just quietly bopped around getting those amazing candid shots that I know every bride wants. She was like a Prius! She got some shots of me and I didn't even know she was there. Kayla was super efficient with all of our family photos and gave great direction. We have a big family and there were a lot of moving parts, but with some pre-planning they were able to really keep it flowing. Thanks to the smoothness of family photos, we really got to have a lot of fun with bride and groom shots. Kayla and her team were amazing! We thought we'd feel awkward being photographed together for the first time, but they made us feel so at ease and really soak in every single moment as husband and wife. They went above and beyond in every way; climbing up on things to get certain shots, fanning me off because it was so hot, you name it, they were on it. Post-wedding communication was great. Everything came as promised, on time, and exceeded all expectations. The only thing they didn't tell me up front was how emotional everything would make me! When looking at the photos, I cried, I laughed, and everything in between. Just when I'd see a photo I knew I wanted framed, I'd see another, and another...and another. And this is when I realized how glad I am that we added the photo album. I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life, but the one thing that I will be able to watch and get all of those wedding day "feels" back with is the Highlight video that Adam created. It's pure magic. I cannot even begin putting into words how it makes me feel every time I watch it. The abundance of love, the joy, the sense of family, and our personalities all came through in every second of the video. Photography and videography do so much more than preserve memories. They give you feeling. With each photo I look at, and each time I watch the highlight video, I go back to remembering how happy I was on my wedding day. My heart is just so full and we are so grateful for you!

While the final photos turned out solid, our photographer completely missed taking our scheduled…read morewedding photos at UT Austin -- a location we had clearly emphasized was deeply meaningful to us. We are giving 2 stars because this was a very important part of our wedding day, and those photos never happened. We had clearly communicated ahead of time that we wanted photos at UT Austin since it's where my wife and I met. We provided detailed parking information, and she mentioned that she had previously taken photos at the university, so we did not anticipate any issues. Unfortunately, she did not arrive at the university in time, and those photos never happened. It was especially disappointing because we even saw another bride and groom meeting their photographer who arrived as planned. Those pictures were meaningful to us, and there was no way to recreate that moment with everyone. It also put a damper on the day because the rest of our wedding party arrived on time and were ready for photos. It was awkward having everyone gathered and waiting without a photographer there, especially after we had planned so carefully around that location.She did offer to stay an extra hour for the after-party and to schedule another session on a different day. We appreciate her effort to make it right; however, after-party coverage wasn't something we had planned or prioritized, and it didn't replace the significance of the UT Austin photos. Rescheduling would have required another trip and redoing hair and makeup, and we were leaving immediately afterward for our honeymoon, making it unrealistic. Overall, while the final images were solid, missing such an important and clearly communicated location was very disappointing and took away from what should have been a seamless part of our wedding day.
