best ever!!

The Smiths were the absolute best and a dream to work with. They went above and beyond to capture all of the special moments of our big day. Amy and Jackson are the best team and truly exceeded all of my expectations of photographers. You can tell they care so much about both their craft and the couple's vision. They are so talented and I couldn't have been happier with our photos. They made the process so easy and seamless, with quick turnover on getting the photos back to us. I am so thankful we had the Smiths as our photographers and couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you Amy and Jackson!

Highly Professional, Caring and fun!

Hiring The Smiths for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. In the vast world of wedding photographers, finding the right fit can be challenging, but from the moment we reviewed their website and saw their work, we knew they were the perfect choice to capture our special day.

The husband and wife duo were absolutely AMAZING to work with. Their professionalism and ability to keep us on track were greatly appreciated amidst the whirlwind of wedding preparations. They were incredibly flexible on the day of the event, even traveling to capture 'getting ready' photos at our hotel, which was a wonderful touch since I hadn’t done my hair and makeup at the wedding venue.

Looking back at the photos, we are thrilled with how they captured some truly special moments. The candid shots and overall gallery perfectly represent us and the people who celebrated with us. The Smiths didn’t just take photos; they told our story in a way that is both beautiful and authentic.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer who combines skill, professionalism, and a personal touch, The Smiths are an outstanding choice. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them to anyone seeking to capture their special moments with elegance and care.

Exceptional! Thank you Amy and Jackson!!

We hired Amy and Jackson (and June!) to photograph our wedding (with an included engagement pictures session) and to say that they are just photographers might be one of the grandest understatements possible. They are, simply put, an incredible team and I wish we could get married 100 more times so we could work with them 100 times again. They are fun, smart, professional, mindful, selective, artistic and do they ever work well together as a team!

We had an excellent first experience meeting them in Staunton, where our wedding was going to be, for our engagement photos session. They had a perfect plan in mind going into it and executed it flawlessly, from the correct order of locations to scouting the best looking areas within those locations for great looking pictures, all while being mindful of the lighting to ensure they produced the best possible pictures.

For the wedding, they were exceptional and some. Their ability to direct us and make us feel comfortable, especially working within a strict timing situation, was remarkable. I could go into paragraphs of detail, but the most telling thing is that when our wedding planner left well before the wedding was over, the Smiths stayed all the way through to the end of the night, giving my wife and me a ride through the rain back up to the main property after the reception when the logistics were otherwise breaking down. They were the ones keeping things on schedule more than anyone else and we haven't stopped talking about it since.

I guess it's also worth mentioning that the quality of their actual pictures is unbelievable. I was going to be happy enough just compiling pictures our friends took and calling it a day, but my wife insisted we needed a great photographer and it's the one and only time in our entire relationship that she's been right and I've been wrong. For everything I mentioned above and everything else I left out that was great about working with Amy and Jackson, it was worth every penny and we'll recommend them to anyone and everyone who will listen! Thank you guys!!

Incredible photos!

We love Amy and Jackson so much!! They are truly artists - we could not be happier with our entire experience using them as our wedding photographers, they were INCREDIBLE!! We adore our wedding photos, and just as importantly, Amy & Jackson took the time to get to know us as a couple, as well as our friends and family, to help keep us calm and focused on the important things throughout our entire wedding journey. They were able to showcase all our most personal, real moments as a part of our wedding - and, our pictures were delivered so easily and quickly after our wedding day! Highly, highly recommend!

Hines-Taylor Wedding 4.15.23

I had the pleasure of working with Amy and Jackson for my wedding, and I cannot express how thrilled I am with the exceptional service and stunning photographs they provided. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of the images, they were professional, attentive, and true artists.

Amy and Jackson expertly captured every special moment of our wedding day with an incredible eye for detail and composition.

Amy effortlessly blended candid shots with beautifully posed portraits, capturing the genuine emotions and love shared on our big day.

Throughout the entire process, Amy and Jackson were a joy to work with. They made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, and their warm and friendly personality put us at ease. They were also incredibly organized and attentive to our preference ensuring that they captured all the important moments and details that were meaningful to us.

The turnaround time for receiving our photos was impressive. We received the final images within the promised timeframe, and the quality exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail in editing and post-production truly showcased Amy’s talent and dedication to her craft.

I would wholeheartedly recommend The Smith’s to anyone in need of a wedding photographer. Their exceptional skills, professionalism, and ability to capture the essence of a couple's special day make them an outstanding choice. Thank you, Amy and Jackson for beautifully preserving our memories and making our wedding day even more memorable!

Best photographers by far!

Amy and Jackson captured our entire wedding day from the time we started getting ready until we left the venue at the end of the night. This dynamic duo captured every little detail and most importantly made the process stress-free with amazing pictures to remember our big day for the rest of our lives. While their staged photos are breathtaking, their candid photographs are one-of-a-kind. You wouldn’t have even noticed, but these two were on the dance floor all night long ensuring we don’t ever forget the fun we had with our guests.

You've found your photographers - look no further

There are truly no words to express how grateful my husband and I are to have had Amy and Jackson as our wedding photographers. During an experience that was so heightened with emotion and energy, Amy and Jackson's kindness, grounded nature, professionalism, and incredible talent brought such peace and confidence to us on our wedding day. The way the Smith's interacted with our family, checked in with us for different shots and photographs we wanted, and simply and truly seemed to enjoy the day as much as we did brought joy to our wedding day that you can see shine through our photographers. Our engagement shoot was also incredibly fun, relaxed, and produced photos we will cherish our whole lives. They are creative, collaborative, experiences, and just so lovely. I do not have enough works to express our gratitude to the Smiths for the photographs they gave us and the spirit and energy they brought to our wedding day. Look no further for your wedding photographers!!

Amy and Jackson Are Pure Magic! Best of the BEST!

What shall I begin?! My husband and I are overjoyed and absolutely in awe of our wedding photos. Amy and Jackson captured so many little moments naturally that can bring us right back to our wedding day. I feel like every picture tells a vivid story and shows all of the joy and love felt in that day. It's pure MAGIC! Amy and Jackson were able to deliver exact photos we want: clean, natural, modern and timeless and we will treasure forever!!! Moreover, Amy and Jackson are such kind and peaceful presence in our wedding day. They're extremely professional, punctual, full of experience and great communicators. Plus Amy has the warmest smile and Jackson has the most gentle voice. They're the best team. We felt so lucky that we found them to capture our big day. You will do too!

Beautiful Photos, Outstanding Service

We hired the Smiths for our engagement photos and our June 2022 wedding. They are both very kind and professional and made my partner and me feel at ease in front of the camera. I don't usually like photos of myself but I am so happy with the shots- I think they really caught my good side. Also another bonus: we got our photos back so fast!!! I have heard of people waiting for months to get their photos, the Smiths got our photos back within weeks. Very much recommend the Smiths!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
