Planning a wedding on a tight budget is no easy task, and we knew we would have to make sacrifices. Every photographer we looked at was either completely beyond our budget or the pictures were so cookie-cutter and seemingly of low quality, that we had pretty much resigned ourselves to not having a photographer for our wedding.

We were so happy to come across the listing for D.R. Photography and Design--not only did we really like their pictures, their pricing was so reasonable! We met with them to look over their portfolio and discuss the different options that are were available. We knew right away that their style of photography and their approach to our event was exactly what we were looking for. Nick and Jill were so friendly and easy to work with, they were very responsive to our emails and questions, provided us with a straight-forward contract, and were very flexible with our contract when we needed to make some adjustments to it.

As for the services themselves--we couldn't be happier. We had Nick taking our photos, and during the reception so many of our friends commented on how great of a job he was doing. He was seemingly everywhere, yet very unobtrusive with our guests--some of them said how they wished they had had someone like that at their wedding. After the ceremony we spent a few minutes taking some portraits with family, then Nick had scouted out a visually interesting place near the reception to take some photos of just the two of us, and quickly got us back to the party!

We received the links to our online gallery about 3 weeks after the wedding, which was great to share with our family and friends who live all over the US and Canada. With four hours of coverage we ended up with over 500 photos, and this was after the first edit done by Nick and Jill. Looking at the photos was so much fun! Nick captured so many small moments not just between my husband and I, but also among our families and guests. The perspective is so fresh and modern--the colors are bright and crisp. We narrowed down our "favorite favorites" to about 200 great photos! We've received tons of compliments on all of our photos. The DVD copies of our photos (which comes with a print release) were of equally high quality and we love the ability to print our own photos as gifts and for years to come.

I really can't recommend D.R. Photography and Design enough. From their great design and quality photography, to their professionalism and friendliness, to their very reasonable pricing, I really believe they are the best value around Pittsburgh for great photos of your event--we LOVE ours!
