Girl in the Wild

Lindsey made our elopement dreams come true. She made everything so easy for us to be able to enjoy our day including creating a custom timeline/agenda for our day, keeping our budget in mind, as well as scouting locations ahead of time so all we had to do was show up. We also loved Lindsey's passion for the environment and her strive to preserve our state's natural beauty. We ended up with the most beautiful photos all across the evergreen state, from the mountains to the rain-forest, to the beautiful coast. We even stopped at other locations along the way just for fun, and have the most amazing photos we will cherish forever. The investment in her photography is 100% worth it. We had the most magical day!!

Highly recommend Lindsey! She was so kind and made adjustments for us in price as we were on a pretty tight budget for our wedding. Her heart for her work is wonderful - she got to know us as a couple and then worked to capture that in her photos. We were one of her first weddings to photograph, she has a natural talent that will only continue to grow!

Our elopement was in April 2021. Lindsey was great and quick to help and find the perfect spot. It took 8.5 months and us demanding our photos to receive an acceptable catalog. The sneak peak on April 9th, showed wonderful images that kept us anxious for the rest!
On June 9th 2021, we were asked if we wanted to see our photos - according to the messages, they werent complete but they wanted to share them. I said sure and when i opened the incomplete gallary, i was very disappointed in the dark tones for 1, but for the poor and irrelavant photos selected to put into our gallery. Images of the back our heads or other photographers in the background etc. Just not the moments I had hoped to see in my wedding catalog. I kindly replied I didnt like them and was told that they should have never sent them, its not anything like what the final gallery would be and thet they did it after rushing.... I then received another gallery on June 29, 2021 which was so brightened up, my eyebrows were washed out. I absolutely denied this gallery.
In September 2021, we had a wedding for family and friends. We accepted an offer from Girl in the Wild to photograph the September wedding & reception, free of charge in exchange for our experience thus far. We were told that due to the inability to provide a financial refund, the 2nd shoot was being offered. Sadly we accepted.

In December of 2021, after many failed attempts to retrieve and select our own photos - with or without edits, we finally said, look, we just want out pictures.
And we finally receievd an acceptable gallery on December 16th with a promise to jave our 2nd weeding photos the following day. Our contract stated 10 weeks as the turn around time.

We were told on numerous occasions for various reasons that we would get our 2nd wedding photos until we just stopped getting correspondence.
After reaching out for a status, we have been notified as of May 2022 that we will not be receiving those images because they were deleted. (We never got a sneak peak) we rode in on my dad's Harley (he passed away) and had our dogs at the alter with us, since they couldn't be at our elopement, and we don't have a single photo from it. But, at least we got an email for 4 free 8x10 prints as an apology.
I'm very insulted.

After submitting a review, I received an email saying that if I agree to remove my review, then they will attempt at recovering my lost photos. If there is any option to recover the photos, then they should have just provided our photos!

I do not recommend this photographer.
