Great photographer! Very professional and a pleasure to work with.

From our very first meeting, it was clear that Bonnie was the perfect photographer for our wedding. We had a vague idea of what we wanted, and had no clue how to bring it all together. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and that we got the photos we wanted. Bonnie was so helpful throughout the planning process. She didn’t just show up on the day of the wedding to take our photos, she scouted the wedding venue, preselecting the best spots for photos, and provided suggestions on how to make the most of our first look and bridal party shots, which was so appreciated.

On the day of the wedding, Bonnie was a true professional. She was super organized with the setup, making sure all the important moments were captured while keeping things running on time. She worked seamlessly with us and other vendors to make sure everything flowed smoothly, and she had a way of guiding us through our portraits without ever being pushy. She helped everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and made the process fun. The photos turned out amazing! Bonnie has such a great eye for natural, candid moments but also knows how to make the posed shots look relaxed and beautiful. We were worried about looking too stiff, but she made sure everything felt easy and genuine. And the lighting—wow! Every shot looks so warm and full of life. Even though Bonnie was busy with other clients, she took the time to create a beautiful gallery. The photos were edited perfectly, and we loved how she captured not only the big moments but also the little in-between ones that made the day feel so special.

I usually don't write reviews, but we were so impressed with Bonnie's photos that I had to. We can’t recommend Bonnie enough. She didn’t just take great photos—she was a true partner in helping us plan and capture the day exactly the way we wanted. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only a talented photographer but also a huge help with the planning and setup, Bonnie is the one to go with!



We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
