10/10 Experience

There are so many things that we loved about Russ and Clara but the bottom line is, we couldn't be happier with our decision to have them as part of our wedding.

It goes without saying that we couldn't be happier about how our wedding photos and video came out. They did such a great job of not only capturing the moment, but also the feeling and emotion behind every moment. On top of all that, they were also able to turn around the photos and videos so quickly which is underrated as that usually is not the experience for most other vendors.

Where they go above and beyond however, is what really makes them special. They are true professionals in the sense that they know how to work with their audience--whether it's making the bride and groom feel comfortable, managing bridal parties, or dealing with a difficult parent, they really know how to get the most out of everyone.

They are so friendly, passionate, and simply who you want in your corner on your special day--couldn't recommend them enough!

Perfection

Russ and Clara,

We feel so beyond lucky to have found you guys and it has truly been an honor working with you both. I (Kelly) was really going through it the morning of the wedding and everything got better the second you two arrived. Our video and photos are literally PERFECT, we are so thankful for all the work you’ve done. You have very clearly gone above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier.

Best wedding vendor award!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Chasing Light! From start to finish, they were incredible to work with. We opted for the engagement + wedding photo and video package, and it was worth every penny. Pricing is reasonable, and the turnaround time for photos is lightning fast—we had ours back within just 14 days!

What truly sets Chasing Light apart is their expertise in the wedding industry. Honestly, they were just as good—if not better—than our day-of coordinators. Despite the day running behind schedule, they worked seamlessly to adjust, prioritize, and make sure we got the most important shots. While we couldn’t take all the family photos I’d originally hoped for, their ability to pivot and focus on what mattered most to us was truly impressive.

If you’re considering them, don’t hesitate—seriously, Chasing Light is a dream team! We couldn’t recommend them more highly.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
