True Photography and Video

I've never been so excited to write a review in my entire life. We were lucky enough to have Dustin as our lead photographer and Leah as our second photographer. I cannot stress enough how important it is that your photographers on your wedding day are just as wonderful as people as they are professional at their job and these two are THE DREAM TEAM. We had several meetings over the phone and Dustin actually kept me as calm as possible even though at times it felt my wedding was falling apart (typical bride craziness) and he was so sweet to me every time we talked and even offered to scout locations for me if I needed him to, and he always reminded me that he and his team will be there for me and that they will capture the most beautiful moments no matter what. When they arrived and we met in person, it was like I had known them for years. A good photographer makes you feel comfortable and effortless behind the camera. Think about it. Posing parents, siblings, wedding parties, flower girls, ring bearers, DOGS (omg, a miracle), and the bride and groom themselves all just magically meshing together posing perfectly no matter what without taking a crazy amount of time? IMPOSSIBLE. It doesn't happen with a photographer that just shows up no matter how great their work may LOOK on their perfectly hand chosen highlighted website! BUT the impossible DOES happen with Dustin and Leah BECAUSE of their warmth and also being killer at their job. They were so professional and smart. They captured each and every photo I wanted without me even having to make sure that they did. I was so worried about certain backgrounds not looking great, but Dustin and Leah went and found a beautiful background for photos that I swear to you, was not there in my eyes before they got there! But when they showed me I was in awe. How many photographers do you know truly scout a location to make sure you don't miss any beauty at your wedding? So many photographers would just find the basics (which is what I was finding), but this team went above and beyond for me. Dustin even fixed my hair for a photo which I highly appreciated because I can't tell you how many times I've seen wedding photos and hair is in someone's face, someones tux is folded up, or a flower girl's shoe fell off, haha! Their creativity, eye for perfection, and professionalism are unmatched. Your wedding day truly does go by so incredibly fast and it's important to have those memorable moments captured by professionals who make you feel comfortable so that the photos look like you were simply having the best day of your life without any awkward posing or nonsense. Natural moments of pure joy are our photos but they look so planned. My husband and I could not have chosen a better company. Everyone at my wedding was talking about how great our photographers were. They are a team of photographers, and I'm sure that anyone from True Photography we would have chosen would have given us these results. But I am biased, so I will say when you book them, and you should like right now...ask for Dustin and Leah ;)
I will add here that we had Ryan as our videographer through Tidal Wedding Films because these two INCREDIBLE companies are connected and SO EASILY bookable and affordable together and I can't recommend these three ENOUGH. The perfect trio, they meshed SO well and we all had a blast together and I haven't stopped looking at our photos since I got them back. I will say that compared to a lot of other photographers I looked at, their price is more affordable than most and the quality of work FAR exceeds their price point. If you are looking for pricing that makes sense, photographers who care about the quality of their work, your happiness on your wedding day, and feeling confident throughout that entire day and every time you look at pictures afterwards, then look no further!

Avalon and True Photography are amazing! We were lucky enough to get to work with Avalon for both our engagement photos and our wedding, and she is the absolute best! Her photos are stunning and creative, and she makes the entire experience fun. I highly recommend True Photography to anyone looking for incredible photos. You won't be disappointed!

True Photography is always a pleasure to work alongside. Their team is professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. They have a wonderful ability to capture both the big moments and the small details that make a wedding day so special. As a floral designer, I appreciate the care they take in photographing every element of the celebration. Their images are beautiful, timeless, and tell a complete story of the day. I would gladly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

As a wedding planner, I am always a little cautious when working with a new photography and videography team because they play such an important role in capturing the story of the day. Working with this team was an absolute pleasure. Not only are the photos and videos beautiful, but they were kind, professional, communicative, and wonderful to collaborate with throughout the event. They brought such a positive energy to the day and worked seamlessly with the entire vendor team. I look forward to working with them again and would happily recommend them to my couples.

We had an excellent experience with True Photography! They captured everything we asked for and their team was warm and inviting to take photos with at our wedding. Anita, Taylor, and Kyle did an amazing job the day of the wedding! I also cannot believe the quick turnaround--we received our photos while on our honeymoon!

Oh my goodness, I cannot speak higher of the Pauleen and Dustin duo. My wedding day was kick-started PERFECTLY with their guidance and energy and I would not imagine my wedding day with anyone else. The second photographer, Jenn, she killlled it with all the groom's photos. So many awesome snaps were taken for me to look back on moments I missed throughout the day. Some amazing shots of my guests just enjoying themselves have been my favorite to look back at. Thank you so so much to Pauleen , Dustin, and Jenn!!

Also, before Dustin entered my bridal suite, Pauleen asked if it was okay for him to enter, and I think even her going that extra step to ask if he could enter really was so sweet and I am so touched she was so thoughtful. During my big day when I just felt like Mickey Mouse smiling for the crowd, Pauleen and Dustin kept the energy upbeat and kept reminding me to breathe. Loved them so much!! Can't imagine my day without them. We also snuck into the Windmill Food Hall arcade to sneak some photos since we were so good on our timeline and they turned out to be some of my favorite photos! Hello new profile photo! Thank you so much to your team.

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Chelsea, Alex, Kyle, and the True Photography team for our wedding weekend.

We had multiple calls with Jen who helped us plan and finalize details for the wedding weekend and made us feel confident in our decision! She then paired us with Chelsea as our day-of lead photographer. From the moment we met Chelsea, it was clear she was the perfect fit for us. She brought such an incredible energy to the entire weekend—fun, warm, and engaging—while still keeping everything organized and on track. She struck that rare balance of being both highly professional and genuinely enjoyable to be around, which made such a difference throughout the day.

One of the things we appreciated most was how seamlessly she guided us through all of the photos. Everything moved quickly and efficiently, but never felt rushed or stressful. We were able to stay present and actually enjoy the process, and in the end, we got every single shot we had hoped for (and so many more we’ll treasure!).

We also want to give a huge thank you to Alex, who was equally wonderful to work with—kind, supportive, and a great presence throughout the day.

Overall, we are so grateful to the entire True Photography team for capturing our wedding so beautifully. If you’re looking for a photography team that is talented, organized, and truly knows how to create a fun and comfortable experience, we cannot recommend them enough.

Had an amazing experience with True! Would recommend them to anyone needing pictures taken.

We found True through our venue, Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens (listed as a preferred vendor), and couldn’t be happier with our choice. The True team has been helpful, attentive, and communicative since the very beginning of booking. We met our lead photographer, Anita, last year when we did our engagement shoot and fell in love! My husband does NOT like getting his photo taken but Anita helped him feel comfortable and as natural as possible from the very start. After seeing our gorgeous engagement pictures, we knew our wedding photos were going to be phenomenal. Our wedding day team was top notch. Anita was the ultimate hype girl while maintaining a beautiful level of professionalism. My girls all commented on how easy it was to feel confident and amazing while Anita was in charge. Brian captured incredible details and moments we wouldn’t have even noticed if he hadn’t had the eye for them. And the video Dustin got was unmatched - drone and all! We received our photos back in record time and our videos came back just over one week after our wedding! We are THRILLED to have our memories captured in such a beautiful way and couldn’t imagine our day being captured by anyone other than True. 1000/10 recommend!

True Photography & Video were amazing! They were integral in creating such amazing memories during our special day! Every one of the staff was kind and helpful and we couldn't imagine working with anyone else! Highly recommend!
