The Best Around

I could on forever about how amazing Defining Studios was for our wedding!! Leading up to the event, their staff was so helpful negotiating packages so we had the best fit for us and the unique schedule of our day! Communication was amazing- all our questions answered right away and beyond kind. We felt we were in the best hands going into our wedding day, but Heather and Roger still managed to blow us away!! They went to our venue and church ahead of time to scope out and make sure we had the best pictures, truly going above and beyond. They had our families and bridal party laughing and enjoying every second of the formal pictures, and went the extra mile to capture us as a couple and make us feel our best. Big plus, Heather kept me from slouching all day! They knew when to hold our hands when we weren’t sure what to do, and when to just capture the best candids. Even after the wedding they kept us up to date on the status of our pictures and sent us the most beautiful keepsake usb we can cherish forever. We were blown away by all the pictures and their ability to capture the best moments from our favorite day. Choosing defining studios was one of the best parts of our wedding experience and I cannot wait to look back on these pictures forever!

I’d Give 10 Stars If I Could

I’d give them ten stars if I could. Roger and his team were phenomenal to work with from start to finish. They took the time to get to know us as a couple, checked in with us proactively, and went above and beyond on our wedding day to create content that exceeded my wildest expectations.

Defining Studios handles our save the dates, engagement shoot, wedding photography and wedding videography- I’d recommend any of these services in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much!

Roger kept our crazy day fun and organized! He is so nice to work with and even surprised us with a sparkler picture at the end of the night. Being a 2020 bride was very hard but I was able to count on Roger and his team to capture the day we worked so hard for. Our pictures are beautiful and the coming soon trailer is amazing. The team was there for all the special moments without being intrusive. I am so happy I had defining studios for our photography and videography.
