We love her work so much that she's done our maternity photos, newborn photos, and our first family photos as well. We've already booked the one year photos for our little guy too.

Working with Matt Schmachtenberg has been a joy from our very first meeting. This review was…read morewritten 3 days after our wedding, before even receiving our preview pictures or full wedding photo set, because we have high trust that we will love anything he sends our way. First call: We hired Matt to photograph our wedding over a year before it took place, and even the first call inspired confidence that he understood what we valued: The people who we loved being featured front and center, and an eye for candid, human moments. We wanted to minimize the amount of posing that we did on the day. We deeply appreciated how up-front and transparent his pricing was, and after interviewing the other (lovely) photographers on our list, it was clear that he was exactly who we were looking for. Engagement shoot: Our engagement shoot was a wonderful experience. We did an in-home shoot, and Matt was so good at keeping things playful and creative. We came with some ideas (cooking, playing board games), and as opportunities arose, so did he. We danced around the living room, we laid down on the floor while he got on a chair, and we talked and got to know each other. He was warm, calming, and professional. For the engagement shoot, he was on time, he returned the preview shots super quickly, and the full album was stunning. We used his pictures all over our wedding website. Wedding: On our wedding day, he was super grounded and friendly, and was willing to roll with multiple sites (our ceremony and reception were different places, and our getting-ready shots too. Sorry, Matt!) We received compliment after compliment about our guests' interactions with him. We got some (totally not expected) phone pictures from the day, and we're already in love with them. We did not have a super specific vision for what we wanted our wedding or engagement pictures to look like. I know that is not the case for everyone, so I can't speak to what that would be like with Matt. I'd say that we went in able to articulate the things that we valued (which Matt also asked about in a survey he sent out before the wedding), and really let Matt take the lead. It was easy to do that given how much he inspires trust. Everything we have seen from him has been a work of art, and working with him has consistently been one of the highlights of the process of hosting a wedding. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who asked.

Rob Garland is a fantastic photographer. We have used him twice for two events and are very happy…read morewith our choice to go with him for our wedding. Rob talks about his passion for "photo journalism," a style which definitely shows when you look at his work: he loves to capture candids, laughter, real moments, hugs, flashes of emotion in someone's eyes, etc. When I look back through the photos from our wedding, I really feel like I'm reliving it. Rob's style is very natural, and the way he edits his film that's exactly what we were hoping for. In addition, Rob is an incredibly nice guy. He went out of his way on two occasions to meet us onsite before the events and talk through plans and makes notes of the places and things we wanted to make sure we captured. This made it so easy on the day-of to know that we could just enjoy the day and let Rob take care of the logistics since he knew exactly what was important to us. It really felt like Rob was there for US. Thank you!!

We worked with Rob both for our engagement photos and our wedding photos. His level of dedication…read moreto his art and to making his clients happy is unparallel. On the day of our engagement session, it started raining. Rob not only met us early but also listened to what we wanted for our photos, which was to capture the natural beauty of the Shenandoah Valley during sunset. He changed the location to try to avoid the rain (which we did!) and decided we should leave earlier to try to get some photos in case it started raining out there. Well, it never rained and as it cleared, we thought there still might be a great sunset. Rob drove us all around skyline drive and spent extra time with us at no charge because he knew I really wanted sunset photos. We ended up experiencing something extraordinary as the sun turned bright pink as it set. He truly went above and beyond that day but we realized that he always does that. Rob is also one of the happiest people you have ever met which makes working with him extremely pleasant and fun. On the day of the wedding, Rob would do anything for the perfect shot including laying on the floor at the reception (which many wedding guests commented on how incredible he was because they had never seen a wedding photographer do that before!). We love our wedding pictures as both he and his assistant captured so many amazing moments during the day! They are so beautiful and we are so happy we had the chance to work with him on our wedding day. He was wonderful to work with during the whole wedding planning process, our engagement session and at our wedding. He is so talented and we were grateful that we had him photographing our wedding. We can't thank him enough for perfectly capturing our wedding day.

We stumbled on Sean's site, because we were looking for a photographer in that local area. From beginning to end, Sean was a professional.

He captured the emotion while capturing the ambiance. After leaving Sean and deciding on what pictures we liked, on the way home, I actually cried. I told my fiancee that was one of the most important things to me-THE PICTURES and they turned out better than we could hav ever imagined! Sean absolutely EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS!
