PYPhotography review
It's been several months after the whirlwind of getting married, buying a new house, moving, settling in, etc. etc. I should've done this immediately. My sincerest apologies to PYPhotography.
A little background. For both my husband and myself this is a second marriage. For both of our first marriages, we had large ornate weddings, spending ridiculous gobs of money. Later in life, and having realized that a one day party doesn't put a down payment on a beautiful house or a new car or anything else other than just a one day party, we planned a very "low-key" beach wedding. Although it was low-key, we still wanted great quality photography, food, flowers, etc. We were also on a time crunch, as a month after getting engaged in August, we decided to go right ahead and get married because number one, why wait, and number two, there is no way I wanted to be married in a cold month! We pretty much had five weeks to throw our Big Day together.
After researching for quality, timing and pricing (in that order) and hoping to meld the three, I contacted several photographers. The one company that stood out to me was PYPhotography. From the get-go, Peter understood exactly what I was looking for. One of the many things that impressed me so much was his continual communication with me, from the moment we first began to chat, to the interaction of ideas leading up to and on our wedding day. He never said no, he never said I don't think that would work, etc. He listened to what I was asking for and gave me his honest input. He never tried to "sell" me. Peter is positive, easy to talk to and flexible. Further, his pricing is very reasonable.
On the morning of our wedding Peter, and his lovely wife Julie, met us at our site and just seamlessly melted into everything going on. By design, everyone was in our suite, my future in-laws, my brother-in-law, a couple of my girlfriends, my makeup artist and hairstylist and our dog. My hairstylist was insane and driving me nuts, she was struggling with my veil and bobby pins were popping out of my hair at the time that we were supposed to be leaving the room. Peter suggested that we photograph her putting the veil in as we were walking, he just inherently knew how to manage the situation and assuage my stress by turning it into a creative moment. It was because of this that I was able to see the bigger picture and let my excitement, joy and happiness shine through.
Peter got so many beautiful shots throughout the day! In the time leading up to our wedding, the weather had been foggy and overcast, which is obviously great for photography, but wasn't our preferred ideal for a beach wedding. Our day was hot and bright and sunny from the moment the sun came up. That of course made us totally stoked, and Peter proves his talent here, as all the photos are absolutely gorgeous. He and his wife are such a well oiled team, they had their reflectors up and were working everything beautifully and skillfully behind the scenes. Never once did I feel like my photographer was impeding on the ceremony or in the reception. Conversely, at my first wedding, the photographer would not stay out of my face, and it was very difficult to enjoy the day without him constantly stopping a toast or a dance to get a shot. Not so with PYPhotography. Honestly, there were times I was wondering where they were and I would happen to look up to see and Peter would take a shot, which made for some really lovely candid pictures. Don't get me wrong, we absolutely had our structured photos, but the process was fun and enjoyable and flowed very well.
I love the impromptu shots of our puppy-dog sleeping in his tuxedo at the reception. I love photos that subtly show our location on the beach at tower 13, at our venue at the Hyatt, the laughter and joy and emotion from our ceremony, and all the other things, big and little, that make these times so special. It was such a beautiful day, it was such a beautiful wedding!
As we look through and share our wedding book, we relive every bit of joy and happiness that we felt on that day through these beautiful photos from PYPhotography.
Peter, we can't thank you enough for everything that you did for us in so beautifully photographing and commemorating one of the most special days in both of our lives.
PYPhotography gets an absolute 10 out of 10 for professionalism, quality, cost and and results.
Love you guys!
Thank you again! read more
