I'm absolutely speechless when it comes to Paul Retherford's photography! I'm slightly embarrassed to admit this, but I have spent an endless amount of time looking at the many images that Paul had captured of our special day..over...and..over...and..over- they turned out so beautiful, I can't stop looking at them! :)

In planning our wedding, finding the perfect photographer was my first priority, after coming across Paul's website and talking to him in person, choosing him as our photographer was the easiest & best decision we made in terms of wedding planning. Paul has a special talent of making you feel comfortable, being in the room without you knowing, capturing every special moment candidly.

Paul is very adaptable, we had a winter wedding in what felt was <20* weather. Paul scoped out some beautiful areas in the surrounding town we were in (prior to our wedding day) and had many ideas for capturing many "cool" outdoor images as possible. Paul never let on that he was cold or miserable, he rolled/slid well :)

I'd also like to mention that we received all of our images a week after our wedding day!! Paul posted some highlights of our images the day after for a sneak peak, & the fusion video 5 days after our wedding -this was such a wonderful surprise, it was so nice to have a "flash-back" of our wedding day so soon after, we'll cherish these for the rest of our lives!

Words can not express how thankful we are for having Paul as our wedding photographer. If your considering choosing Paul to capture images of your special day, you can't go wrong! Check out his website &/ Facebook page for some of his past work, this is what I did & as I previously said it was the easiest & best decision I made in terms of wedding planning.

Paul Retherford, it was such a pleasure working with you, we can't thank you enough for capturing our special day! Your simply amazing!

Words cannot describe how wonderful Paul was at our wedding and how beautiful the pictures came out. He was very professional and fun....very relaxed taking non-traditional photos which we truly loved. He took so many pictures capturing all of our special candid moments. I didnt even know he was there! It has been a long time that I have taken a picture that I liked and Paul made me look beautiful. I wish he could follow me around!! :0) Paul sent all my pictures and video within days of our wedding. I would very highly recommend him! Thanks Paul!

We are so lucky to have found Paul! We loved his work at first site, and his prices were very resonable for his quality of work. We recently finished our engagement session with him, and are truly amazed by the moments he was able to capture! We can't stop looking at our pictures! Each one is so unique and beautiful in its own way. Besides being an awesome photographer, he is also a great person. I have to admit I was a little nervous since I hand't had professional pictures taken since my senior year of high school, but Paul made us feel right at home. He even posted pictures on Facebook that same night, and we receieved our images within one week. We're very much looking forward to working with him again on our wedding day. Don't hesitate to go with Paul!

Paul is an excellent photographer to work with. His response time is amazingly quick, and he worked closely with us to make our day perfect. He went above and beyond the signed contract to capture every moment of the day. Additionally, his photography skills are excellent. We have had an extremely challenging time deciding which photos are our favorite as there are so many beautiful captures.

Wonderful experience with Paul! He familiarized himself with our outdoor photo locations before meeting us; arrived 45 minutes early at our hotel and started taking pictures immediately; helped our limo driver to the location (we got lost on the way, thank goodness for Paul!); took awesome candid and posed photos and made everyone feel comfortable with him right from the start; had photo slideshow available for guests to view during reception (of pictures he had just taken before the ceremony); photo booth ran smoothly and was easy to use, provided endless humor and entertainment for our guests throughout the night; we used Paul's photo booth props for other fun moments during the reception; many guests approached us the next day asking about our photographer and commenting how he never stopped shooting throughout the night, how great the pictures were turning out, and how great he was to get along with. Paul also stayed later during our reception because we were a little bit behind schedule and needed some more important moments to be captured. He is worth every penny. We highly recommend him for future weddings and/or other events. THANK YOU PAUL!

Paul is undoubtedly, hands-down, one of the best photographers I've ever come across. He knows what he is doing and knows the shots he needs to get. DO NOT hesitate to hire him. You will be pleasantly surprised in every aspect that he is involved in. He adapts to situations and captures anything and everything. Armed with more than one camera, I often noticed him shooting with one camera, then hip shooting to another shot somewhere else at the same time. A TON of photos were ready for initial viewing in under 24 hours. Also, his photo booth was an absolute hit; do not pass this part up. Amazing overall!

Paul was amazing to work with for our July 23 wedding and all of our pictures blew us away. Paul understood exactly the style we wanted, was flexible, had great suggestions and ideas and many of our guests commented on his professionalism. We were so happy and would definitely recommend Paul for any occasion.

Every woman has in her mind how her special day will go. Having Paul as our photographer only ensured that my vision would come true. He listened to very everything myself and my husband wanted. He took care of the smallest details and really got a grasp of what we had wanted. His pictures are breath taking and are the highlight of our proud home and bring back some of the best memories of my life. He had a great understanding of our guests and our wedding party loved him! He was professional and has a stellar eye for the beauty and magic of marrying your soulmate. He loves his job and this was evident in every aspect of our wedding weekend. I highly recommend him to any bride that wants majestic and memorable pictures to have the rest of their life.

Paul provided us with the Very BEST of services, starting from the initial conversations and many followup timely emails and phone calls.
Our wedding took place at the gazebo at the Mission Point Resort.
Our experience was very relaxed and stress Free!!!
He was a Professional from start to finish, and we were lucky to have selected such a great photographer to document our moment!!!
We had one shot at many photo's from various locations and ALL the photo's are Amazing!!! I even brought a couple photo's from our local magazine and he duplicated them with us, they all turned out with the best quality!
The simple and very coolest thing is the little brag book we received in the mail.
I carry it around with me and show all my customers in various states when I travel.
I heard a commercial for Weddingwire on the radio and I wanted everyone to know what a great experience we had, and make a great choice like we did.
The pricing was below many other photographers and the quality was simply Amazing. We have nearly 1000 photo's on a custom engraved Paul Retherford photography logo on it. VERY PROFESSIONAL!!!
Paul is an Amazing guy to work with and the simple little things he did to make our experience special were greatly appreciated.
His intimate knowledge of the island and various special area's to be photographed at will ensure you will have memories to reflect on for a lifetime!
If you choose him as your photographer, you will have hired the very BEST!!!
Feel free to look at our photo's on my facebook page, or on Paul's website.

Paul Retherford is an awesome photographer! So happy he was able to capture our big day. He is a very fun to work with and takes AMAZING photos :) Thanks again Paul!

Our outdoor wedding was at Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island.

Paul far exceeded all expectations we had for a wedding photographer. Honestly. He was very professional and a lot of fun at the same time. At the end of the day, he felt like more of a friend than our wedding photographer. Our guests also commented on how personable he was. He was genuinely interested in our family and friends. That meant a lot.

As for the images, they were amazing! He has a talent that many wedding photographers lack, which is easy to see. He blends in, and misses nothing. He’s so creative! One of the best parts was how quickly we got to see the images. He had some of them posted online the day after the wedding! We had all the images in 2 weeks and our album within 2 months. With other photographers, it can take 6 months to a year (or more if you can believe it) to get everything delivered.

I could go on and on, but you get the picture. I would recommend him to anyone.

Paul was amazing, I cannot say enough great things about him and how wonderful the pictures turned out! I would highly recommend him!

Paul is AMAZING! He's so easy to work with and very talented. Normally, photographers make me feel uncomfortable but Paul's great! I highly recommend him!

Paul just did our wedding in April and he is amazing! Everything we hoped for and more. We are very pleased with every aspect of the whole experience! Would highly recommend him!

Paul was absolutely the best to work with.
Will recomend him to my friends and family for their "Special Day"
