Doug is amazingggg!

I can't even begin to describe how fun and comfortable our whole photoshoot experience was with Doug! The pictures came out absolutely stunning and warm. Doug made us feel so natural, since it was our first time ever having professional photography done of my fiance and I. Doug, also really captured the scenery/background very well. He was also super quick with the edits. I can go on and on about how great Doug is, but just a quick summary.. DREAM WEDDING CREW does not disappoint! Trust me.

Amazing Team & Stunning Proposal Photos!

Doug from Dream Wedding Crew exceeded all expectations. I had an idea of when and where I wanted to propose and let him know. He then worked with me to nail down the exact spot and time (and even made himself available for multiple days in case we had bad weather). We were in constant communication daily approaching the target date. Thankfully the weather was great, and we went ahead as planned.

He was very discrete and my soon-to-be fiance didn't know he was in the area. Then, as I pulled out the ring to surprise her - he took the most amazing photos and captured the backdrop and environment perfectly!

He then sent us select photos the day-of so we could share with friends and family, with a full album for download a week later.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Amazing services!

Where do I even begin to put into words how extremely happy, grateful, and satisfied I am that I hired Dream Wedding Crew to photograph my wedding?! ... Doug and Sarah were such an amazing team, and they were both so much fun to work with. Not only were they kind, reliable and professional, but they were so attentive to every little detail that my husband & I wanted to capture on our big day. They kept in contact with us throughout our entire year & a half of planning, they arrived early to our venue on our wedding day, took the time to discuss the whole timeline of events with us, helped suggest ideas, and focused on what WE envisioned when it came to our photos. They shot details of our wedding attire, and of both of us getting ready in separate rooms, and they asked lots of questions in advance to make sure they shot every angle, frame, portrait, and special moment during our ceremony and reception. They never interrupted us while talking or dancing, unless there was a request that we previously asked of them, and we didn't even know they were there half the time, but somehow they managed to capture every perfect moment. We can't thank Dream Wedding Crew enough for giving their time and effort, and we are so grateful that we hired them for our big day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
