Nick and I were not excited about being behind a camera for our engagement / wedding photos but Justin and Katie helped us to feel very comfortable and at ease . With all their wedding experience , they kept everything on schedule and helped us know where to be when. They tailored their service to meet our needs and really captured the vibe of our special day .

Justin with Open Door Photography is absolutely amazing! His talent and eye for beautiful photographs are one of a kind! He makes you feel so comfortable and has a very carefree and fun personality. I would recommend him to literally ANYONE! He sent me teaser photos from my wedding almost immediately and I absolutely cannot wait to see the rest! I will probably want to frame all of them, which means I am going to have zero wall space! But I am a very happy lady!!

Justin & Katie were amazing... Besides being so much fun they were professional and they scouted out the perfect spot for all the pictures. As the Mother of the Bride I fell in love with both of them from the moment we met, they made everyone feel so special. I could not have asked for a better photographer than these two they are worth every penny. I would highly recommend them to anyone. :)

I do not have enough good things to say about Justin, Katie, and the rest of the team. From engagement to wedding photos, Justin did an amazing job keeping us comfortable and at ease. He made sure to listen to what was important to us, and even had some examples from my Pinterest board saved (which was SO helpful!! When you're in all the excitement of your wedding day, you're not going to remember a pose you liked 4 months ago)

Our photos turned out so much better than we ever could of imagined. Even our wedding party kept commenting about how much fun we had! No more 30+ minutes of stiff boring photos.

Basically If you are looking for someone(s) to not only capture real, beautiful moments but also become a friend....these are your people. Wedding planning can be really stressful and somewhat chaotic... Justin and Katie (and the rest of their team) are a stress free no brainer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
