Kyrsten is truly one of a kind. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, she went above and…read morebeyond in every way. She was always early, spent extra time with us, and for our engagement shoot, she didn't just show up--she created a full-on date experience, shooting across multiple locations. That day is still one of our favorites. We're not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, but Kyrsten has a calm, warm presence that puts you at ease instantly. She made us feel like ourselves--laughing, relaxed, and completely in the moment. At the same time, she has this incredible ability to command a crowd and keep things moving smoothly. You can tell she knows exactly what she's doing. Her photos are stunning, but the way she goes about her work is just as beautiful. So much heart, so much intention. We've already talked about hiring her for future milestones--yes, even if she's in Dallas and we're in Austin! 100000% recommend hiring Kyrsten. She's not just a photographer; she's an artist, a professional, and a joy to be around.

I am not sure where to begin with how amazing Kyrsten is, I will do my best! To start, when we…read morefirst got on a phone call she was so professional and truly understood the vision we wanted with our wedding photos. She stayed in touch with us until the big day ensuring we felt taken care of. Especially as we were planning a destination wedding in Mexico, it was hectic at times and i'm so grateful to have had her and her team there with us! Now for our wedding day + photos... OMG!! The photos are absolutely stunning, they truly captured how we felt in every moment and all the detail! But more importantly, Kyrsten was everything I needed on my wedding day, she helped me stay focus, calm and on time. She was my go to person when I had to make some risky decisions relating to the weather and I truly felt like I could count on her with everything. She had back up spots because of the rain, and made us feel so seen and supported, it was so easy to trust her with everything!! Her energy kept us calm and excited, always reminding us about what the day truly was about + she knows how to run the show and get every perfect photo despite having a wild, big crazy crew! If you are considering hiring Kyrsten and her team, I hope this review is your final confirmation to DO IT! You will be in the best hands possible and be so happy with the photos!

We were beyond thrilled to hire them just from our initial phone convo. They are both so outgoing and so thrilled to be part of your day! We hired Hey Love Studio as a guest photographer at our wedding (we had already hired a wedding photographer). As a guest photographer, Valerie (and a second shooter, since she had to travel for our wedding) was dedicated to capturing guest portraits (couples, families, etc.) and guests mingling. (professional portraits in lieu of crappy photo booth pics with the couple's names and date stamped all over it). She knew the "assignment," let us (the couple) do our thing, and she forking nailed it! We received our gallery about a week and a half later, and it brought us so much joy to look through and see just how beautiful our guests looked! When they say your wedding day flies by, they are not kidding - so we are that much more grateful to have these photos to forever remember how beautiful every single guest looked! Our guests will receive a printed copy (as their "thank you" card) in the mail, along with a QR code to our full gallery so that they can download a digital copy. Bonus: my bridesmaids jumped on this and also hired Valerie to shoot our Rehearsal Dinner as a surprise to us. I don't think I need to say more at this point, but Valerie also did a phenomenal job the night before!!!

My husband and I hired April Pinto Photography to photograph and film our wedding (Oct. 4th, 2025),…read moreand we do not recommend this business for the following reasons: (1) Did not film full wedding ceremony. We paid an additional $500 for April Pinto Photography to film our entire wedding ceremony, from start to finish. Instead of filming the entire ceremony from a tripod -- as we discussed -- the videographer ran around the ceremony, stopping and starting the footage. Moments April Pinto Photography did not film include: (1) the groom's entrance, (2) the bride's entrance, and (3) the bride's father giving her away. We are missing 4 minutes of a 20 minute ceremony. April Pinto Photography refused to issue any sort of refund (despite not providing us with a "full unedited ceremony video", as dictated by our contact) or even apologize for messing up on the most important days of our lives. (2) Unprofessional Behavior. During the wedding: We received numerous complaints from guests about April's behavior and professionalism. She would yell -- rather than ask politely -- for guests to get in poses or take off glasses. In addition, she offended multiple guests by assuming relationship statuses (e.g., assume mother and son were married or wife and husband were father and daughter ), making guests feel insecure about their appearances and age. Before the wedding: We booked April without interviewing her. After we paid the deposit and had a video call, we felt she was very rude and condescending during our interactions. For example, my husband did not have a lot of opinions on photos, so he would defer to my opinion. April made multiple quips that "he must not care" about getting married and complained that he was "too camera shy" when he did not want one part of his getting ready moments photographed. We found April's behavior so unprofessional that we we began interviewing other photographers and were prepared to lose our $900 deposit. Unfortunately, we could not find someone in time so we attempted to mitigate contact by directing April to only communicate with us through our wedding planner. However, April refused to respect this boundary and would blow up our phones whenever our wedding planner messaged her -- despite both us and our wedding planner having multiple conversations that all communication needed to be through our wedding planner and that she was not to contact us directly. If there is one upside, it's that we do like how our wedding photos turned out. However, working with April Pinto Photography was an overwhelmingly negative experience, and we cannot recommend this business in good faith to anyone -- especially on one of the most important days of a person's life.

We loves our…read morephotos and truly enjoyed April's warm personality and willingness to help with the entire process!

I thankfully was able to hire Epoch Photography less than 30 days before she departed San Diego,…read moreand am so glad I did. I was looking for updated headshots and photos of myself for professional purposes, but wasn't certain how to do that, what to wear, or where to be photographed. Maile came prepared with a full but efficient agenda, and even provided recommendations on what to wear. I've never had professional photos taken, and Maile was excellent at making me feel comfortable in front of the camera. The results are better than I could have hoped for, and were received in under 48 hours! We're sorry to lose her services in CA, but TX is lucky to receive a talented business like Epoch Photography!

When we realized how awkward it would be since we were clearly not a couple, she had great ideas that wouldn't look like we were on an engagement shoot. She has an amazing eye, great sense of humor, open to suggestions and really makes the entire thing fun. We even hired her for my brothers wedding and working with her in a more "serious" setting was also great. She wasn't intrusive, didn't steal us away for too long for post ceremony photos and had so many unique ideas. She made us feel like we were old friends just hanging out having a party. Even the candid reception photos were great. I am bummed I didn't know about her sooner when we were looking for our own photographer. Can't wait to use her again!!

Ok, I'm just gonna get straight to the point. There are way too much to rave about Laura and her…read moreteam that if I listed out everything, they won't fit within the word limit. For those who are looking for a wedding photographer, here's why you need Laura: 1) Flawless Execution One of the MOST IMPORTANT lessons I learned from wedding planning is that the on-the-day execution trumps any portfolio. Wedding photography is a completely different ball game from studio photography and unfortunately, many of the current "wedding photographers" fall in the second category. It's easy to set up the perfect lighting, line up the perfect angle, and set up the perfect pose for a "perfect shot" (and even apply the perfect filter afterwards). That's studio photography and anyone can do that given a good camera. Wedding photography, on the other hand, is about capturing the moments. It's about having the instinct and the experience to capture those split seconds, those candid moments, and knowing how to respond to those unexpected events (which happens at every wedding). Laura's execution is flawless, which comes from her extensive resume and attention to details. Her efficiency is off the chart. That's how she can crank out 3,000 pics (while others can only do 800) w/o compromising quality. 2) Excellent Support Team All of the packages comes with 2 photographers + 1 "assistant", with Laura being the lead photographer most of the time. However, the rest of the team is superb as well (unlike other studios that just grab some complete newbie). Everyone on the team has their own photography studio, including the "assistant". Our second photographer actually charges more than Laura does at her own studio! How Laura can get her as a second photographer is beyond my understanding. So essentially, you're getting 3 professional photographers. What a deal! Each photographer has his/her distinct on-the-day roles. Laura is in charge of constantly following the couple, period. The second photographer is in charge of the guests, all the candid moments, and setup for some artistic studio shots. Everyone is professionally dressed and communicated well. With 3 photographers, you can easily get 100% coverage of the entire wedding. As a cherry on top, Laura personally processes some pics immediately after the wedding (usually past midnight) and will have a sneak peak of about 70 pics ready before the morning. 3) Contagious Personality Laura loves weddings. She genuinely loves weddings and helping brides, and her excitement is contagious. She's much more than just a photographer that you hire for one day. My wife and I have gained a friend though the process. I would recommend Fairytale and Laura to everyone looking for a true wedding photographer. I've gone to many weddings over the past few years and I can confidently say that no one came anywhere close to the level of execution that Laura had. You know... those "in your face" photographers who get good shots but ruins the moment; those scrappily dressed photographers who looks like they hate their jobs; those studio photographers that takes 5 mins to set up each shot; yeah... you don't want them at your wedding day. You want Laura at your wedding.
