We could not have asked for a better photography team (A+++)

We could not have asked for a better photography team. Laura and Justin are wonderful couple and great team. They did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos, capturing every moment in high quality / resolution images. They have always responded back to us in timely fashion, always been kind and polite in person and over the phone.

We are very thankful to have hired them and strongly recommend them for your future events. Laura and Justin, it was pleasure meeting you both. We wish you both the best in your future endeavors.

Many thanks,

Bayats

Stunning photos!

Laura and Justin are truly the best team to work with! Our photos turned about absolutely stunning and we really could not have been happier. They were able to capture the love and fun that everyone had that day. AND...acted as our emcee when our DJ failed to show up. They truly saved the day! If you're looking for an affordable, professional, and highly talented photographer....definitely book Cotton State Photography!

Magical!!!

Photographers Laura & Justin made our wedding Magical for us. It was small and intimate, on horses, at a lake. My husband and I had our wedding ceremony 50 days ago today and my husband still mentions how amazing it was every day. I have found him multiple times standing in front of a canvas I had made from one of the many gorgeous photos of our wedding by Cotton State's Photgraphers Laura & Jusin. We will be forever grateful to you both. We will call on your services again ... maybe renewing our vows?

Absolutely Amazing!

I found Laura and Justin by chance on facebook after I had to cancel the original photographer I picked for our wedding. It was only a few months before the wedding so I was extremely stressed trying to find a replacement. I have to say it was fate I found Cotton State! Although it was an extremely stressful situation, I am so glad it ultimately led me to booking them for our wedding. Laura was always very responsive to any emails or questions before and after the wedding. Both during and after the wedding I received so many compliments from all the guest on how sweet both Laura and Justin were. Not only did they do an amazing job, they were so sweet and kind! I really had no idea what pictures I did/didn't want and they were excellent guides in getting all the shots. I am absolutely in love with all of the photos they captured of our day! They are stunning. You will not go wrong in booking them for your big day or really any other special moments you want to capture!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
