    Incredible

    STOP! look no further... Cornerstone Photography was AMAZING! We worked with Laura who is extremely diligent, thinks of pictures you may want that you didn't even think of, makes sure she captures EVERY request you have and then some, and is incredibly kind. Our pictures turned out BEAUTIFULLY and truly did emulate the beauty and love from our special day. I have and will continue to recommend Cornerstone Photography to every bride.

    Laura from The Cornerstone Photography was outstanding to work with. When we set up our original meeting she came to our house to chat with us. We originally went with a different photographer, whom had left the company shortly thereafter, so Laura stepped in saying she felt that she knew what we were looking for and would do the photography herself. We were more than happy to have her do it!

    We did engagement pictures last fall with her and brought our crazy black lab, she was very professional and dealt with our crazy dog. We got the pictures back and they looked outstanding. When Laura arrived for the wedding day she was professional and upbeat from the get go. She started in with pictures of me getting ready and of my dress and things.

    Everything had a nice steady flow and she was very good with time management. She was also aware that we were not doing a first look and my husband had not arrived at the venue yet, so she was conscious of making sure he didn't see me outside.

    After the ceremony, the family pictures were so smooth and she was good about getting the pictures done quickly so everyone could enjoy the cocktail hour. When Laura was eating dinner during the reception our flower girls were about to leave, I interrupted her dinner and she was nice enough to come over and take a few pictures of us with them before they left.

    My husband and I received many, many compliments in the last three weeks about how professional, quick, and non intrusive Laura was in taking the pictures. We couldn't possibly have asked for a better person to capture our memories!

    Absolutely excellent!!!! Amazing photographers!!

    My husband and I got married this last September. Naturally as I was looking photographers, I was a bit nervous. It's the most important day of your life and photography lasts forever. I knew I wanted an excellent photographer. I came across Cornerstone Photography on a venue's website (Huntley Barn). I really liked what I saw and contacted Laura. Unfortunately, she was booked, but one of the other photographers with her team, Charis, was available. Laura sent me over a sample of a wedding she shot and it was gorgeous!

    I booked Charis and I sent her images of what I wanted our wedding to look like and Charis did it perfectly!!! She shot it is exactly with the journalistic photography style I wanted and got all the shots I sent her in my inspiration board. Even through the night, she came up to us and asked if there were any additional shots we wanted. She covered everything, showed up on time (even a bit early to set up), was so friendly. When we got the pictures back we were blown away!!! They were prettier than we ever could imagine!! Exactly what I wanted and more!! I can't thank Charis and Cornerstone Photography enough!!

    Cornerstone Photography was everything we could have asked for in an engagement and wedding photography company. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Matt in January of this year (and it was freezing!) for engagement photos, and again just about two weeks ago for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier! He was amazing to work with, and knew exactly how to capture those perfect moments - without having us pose for uncomfortable amounts of time in the cold and snow.
    From the moment we met with Cornerstone, they provided excellent and honest advice about what kind of services would be most beneficial for us, and still keep us within our budget. We were able to schedule our engagement session directly with Matt, so we didn't have to have a middle man, which was really nice. They were also flexible and full of advice when we were deciding on what hours we wanted to have a photographer present at our wedding. All in all, we knew from the beginning that Cornerstone Photography was a company that we could trust, and rely on. The pricing is straightforward, and there are no hidden costs or surprises.
    The communication between all of the people we worked with was wonderful. They were patient and helpful with all of our questions, and we were never left hanging or wondering what was going on because responses were pretty speedy.
    We received so many complements about our photographer from our guests - everything from how polite he was to how excellently he worked.
    Our wedding was a fairytale, and we were so happy to have Cornerstone Photography there to capture it so perfectly!

    Cornerstone was so easy to work with, all around. Mark, the owner, was flexible with scheduling our initial meeting, answered all our questions (and even the ones we didn't know we had), and put us in touch with Matt - who was excellent. Matt was a pro, and knew how to get all the shots we wanted, even with gray ugly weather, and had creativity to make the most of a rainy day. Our photographs are beautiful, and we loved gifting them to family for the holidays. Thank you, thank you!

    Everything about using Cornerstone was easy for me! Mark met me at a location that was convenient for me, and didn't even bat an eye when I asked him to work with my crazy work schedule! He and his team were incredibly responsive, answering all of my seemingly random questions!

    Cornerstone Photography was fantastic to work with. We hired them to do our engagement photos and wedding day photography. Matt was fantastic! We needed a photographer that was great at communicating and instructing on how to get the best shot. We knew we hired the right photographer after our engagement photos. Our day was so cold and Matt not only captured great shots, but made it fun! During our wedding photos Matt was so great with the larger group and did everything possible to get some awesome pictures. Loved working with Matt and Cornerstone Photography. Would recommend them to anyone getting married!

    Our photographer from Cornerstone was amazing! He was very professional and yet still fun and easy to work with at the same time. He made sure that he had a clear understanding of what we were looking for, but kept the mood light and added some creative flare of his own as well. We couldn't be more pleased by our experience with Cornerstone. Highly recommended.

    We couldn't be happier with our experience with Cornerstone Photography. The owner, Mark, was quick to respond and helpful with any questions we had. We were a little worried after the photographer we booked had left the company weeks before our wedding, but Mark stepped in her place and his work was amazing! It was comfortable working with him and his very positive attitude. We had another photographer from Cornerstone, Rob, join us to overlap Mark's time during the ceremony. The two of them captured different parts of the ceremony and were able to get every shot we could want. Rob photographed the reception then and was able to get some awesome candid photos, as well as a picture of each table of guests. We received our photos a few week ago and they are stunning! Photography was one of the parts of my wedding I was most concerned about and we are so happy with the entire experience!

    I can't say enough great things about Cornerstone. From our first meeting with Mark, to working with both Laura and Matt, we were in great hands the entire time. Mark gave a very professional presentation about all they have to offer and we knew from the moment we walked out of the meeting that we were going with Cornerstone. Laura and Matt were both wonderful! Our pictures look amazing and we received them within 2 weeks of our wedding. They each brought something unique to the pictures and it is clear how much they love their jobs. You would be missing out if you don't consider using Cornerstone for your wedding.

    Cornerstone Photography was easy to work with and had several options for all price points. The photos I received were extremely high quality and they captured all of the best moments of our wedding and then some. The two photographers that came to our wedding (Matt and Nicole) were a perfect balance between fun and professional. They put all of us at ease and made the whole event run smoothly.
