    Beautiful Photos

    Our wedding photos from Darling Photography (Vicki) are beautiful, well edited, and perfect. We fell in love with Vicki's style from the example online and we are happy to say she did not disappoint. Vicki shot our engagement photos as well. She was so easy to contact and work with. For both our engagement and wedding day, she guided us and our guests for the different photos. We had a lot of fun with her. Our package also included a wedding album. We chose the photos and Vicki put it together with our input. In the end, the album was more beautiful than we imagined. We are so happy we hired Vicki.

    Darling Photography's reply:

    You guys are the best!! its was such a pleasure to be there with you and Brandon. Cant wait to see you again.

    Darling Photography is the best

    We had such a great time working with Viki. My husband and we’re not comfortable in front of the camera but she knows all the tricks to put you at ease and make your photos phenomenal. She did our engagement photos, a venue walkthrough, a full day at the wedding, and an album. She also recommended the most beautiful location for our engagement photos. Not only if she talented but she’s fun to work with and has a great personality.

    Darling Photography's reply:

    Danielle,
    Those are such sweet words, THANK YOU!!! I had an amazing time with your entire family and still enjoy connecting with you.

    Vicki was amazing! Super helpful and down for whatever we wanted. She was a huge help the day of when because of a bad accident on the freeway we started the wedding a half hour late, she helped get us back on track after the ceremony with how fast and professional she was. She has no problem telling people what to do and how to get things down quick while keeping a great attitude and a smile on her face. We will definitely be going back to Darling Photography for family photos!

    Vicki is amazing, and always makes you feel comfortable, and knows how to make you smile, even if it's 100 degrees outside and you're burning up, or if it's 30 degrees and you're freezing...LOL. She is always on time and so kind and easy to work with. She always gets back to you in a very timely manner, even when she's super busy, and always tries to accommodate you in any way she can. She has done our family Christmas photos for the last two years, and also, our engagement photos! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants quality, decent priced photography!!!

    Thank you so much Crystal! I cant wait for the wedding.

    Vicki is the best! She is so nice and full of energy. I had to find most of my venders over the phone because of my busy schedule planning my own wedding and all! When she called me back, she was full of life and had such a passion for her work. She was willing to work around my schedule and answered all my questions. The first time I got to meet her was for my engagement photos and she just had the best personality. I knew I made the right choice! She had great advice for photos and lots of feedback since I had never done this before. She was so easy to talk to and work with. The day of the wedding, she was on time, happy and I knew she was there for me. Everyone at the wedding was impressed with her and how she stayed on top of all the important details and seemed to be everywhere at once. She impressed everyone there and I had people coming to me all night and saying how great she was. Thank you Vicki for making my day awesome!
