Desiree was an incredible wedding photographer!! She really took the time to help us plan out our wedding day photos and even came down to see the wedding and reception venues a few weeks before the wedding. She was very receptive to our ideas and was able to offer a lot of insight into the various photographs we wanted to take, especially when it came time to figure out how to handle taking a large number of family/wedding party photographs in a very short amount of time directly after the ceremony (we had booked a public venue that only gave us about 30 minutes after the ceremony for pictures). She also had some wonderfully creative ideas for our outside pictures and they really did turn out phenomenally. We've had numerous people tell us that many of the pictures she took look like they're straight out of a wedding magazine!
Our wedding day was one of the hottest days of the summer (100+ degrees) so it wasn't at all easy to complete the hour of outside photographs that we had planned but Desiree had obviously thought ahead and made sure that she alternated pictures in the sun with pictures in the shade so that no one got too overheated. Desiree also came prepared with a clean sheet/tarp, step ladder and other materials for the pictures that required us to sit on the ground or needed to be taken from different angles. We don't know how she did it but looking at our wedding pictures, no one can tell that we were sweating like crazy. During the reception, Desiree and her assistant photographer captured all of the important moments without being intrusive or disruptive to the celebration. We couldn't be happier with the final results of all our pictures.
Desiree is incredibly professional yet fun and flexible to work with. We've heard so many people complain that their photographer was impersonal, rude, and unprofessional but you definitely won't get that with Desiree. We know at least 3 other brides who had Desiree as their wedding photographer and we have heard nothing but praise from their experiences with her. Choosing Desiree as our wedding photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
