Chantell Peck Photography

What Caught Our Attention: We were having a quirky sort of wedding and wanted a quirky sort of photographer to match. Chantell does both wedding and cosplay photography, which is a perfect combo for someone holding a themed wedding like we had.

Value: Her website has a page explaining her session packages and prices, an important and kind of basic factor a surprising number of photographers don't bother with. (My rule was that if a wedding photographer posts a lengthy bio complete with their philosophy on photography and life in general but no prices, then they probably weren't going to fit my budget and I shouldn't bother.) We ended up picking a large package with three separate sessions (engagement, boudoir, and wedding), and based on some of the other photographer prices I saw during my search I'd say we got really good value for our money.

Quality of pictures: During the wedding, Chantell was everywhere. The outside pictures came out fabulous. Some of the inside ones from the reception were a bit fuzzy, but I don't blame her as we had weird lighting (Like really weird. It was a Halloween wedding.) and everybody was in constant motion. She did get most of the extremely sugar high children to stop sprinting around the room with glowsticks and sit still long enough for a group picture, which was a pretty impressive accomplishment.

How She Was To Work With: Friendly and chill, not at all stressful, which is exactly what you want in a wedding or boudoir photoshoot situation. Chantell always had ideas for poses and she was always prompt to reply to emails. She also participated in dressing up for our costume wedding.
