Amazing photographer!!

Heather is the BEST!!! We are so glad that she was our photographer! She took absolutely beautiful photos and is so professional, calming, kind, knowledgeable, and skilled. We felt absolutely comfortable with her by our side the whole day and our guests are raving about her photos even a month later! We love that her photos feel relaxed, true to us and our personality, and really showcased the vibes of the whole day. I would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone looking for a fantastic photographer!

Best Decision We Made

I can’t say enough good things about Heather - I first met her at a friend’s wedding and knew then that I’d want her to be my wedding photographer. Despite relocating to Philly, I had Heather come for a “destination” wedding in Lancaster, PA. She is incredibly organized, professional, and I went into the day fully trusting that she would deliver which allowed me to relax and enjoy the day. Before I even had my first dance with my dad (-8pm ish), Heather had already edited 12 photos for us and our guests to view! The photos blew us away and were even better than I imagined. I would hire her again and again. I continue to get compliments from others and wouldn’t be surprised to see her again in Lancaster!

Heather Got It All!

Somehow, Heather was everywhere and captured every memorable moment without being intrusive in any way or interrupting the flow of events. Her beautiful photos accurately captured the warmth, poignancy, and joy of my daughter's wedding day. The posed portraits are wonderful, but I'm especially pleased with the candids. It will take us days to decide which photos to include in albums because there are a ridiculous number of great ones! To top it off, Heather is a lovely person who is committed to her craft and highly motivated to meet the expectations of her clients.

Pictures we will treasure for a lifetime!

We LOVE Heather! From our engagement shoot through the wedding, she captured photographs that we ADORE and will treasure forever. She was so fun to work with, gave great directions, and was incredibly organized. We loved getting the sneak peaks quickly after the engagement shoot and the wedding - they got us that more excited for the full gallery of shots. Her style was exactly what we were looking for - bright, airy, and happy. Now we have the hard job of selecting which photos to print and put in albums. Hire her right away - you won't regret it!

The photographer is the most important vendor, and Heather is the BEST!

Heather is hands down one of the best photographers. Not only are her photos amazing, she went above and beyond the day of our wedding to make it a special day for us, doing things that she did not have to do as a photographer. Working with Heather feels like working with a friend and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She is amazing and we would use her again in a heartbeat!

Best wedding photographer EVER!

HEATHER IS THE BEST! Working with her was easily the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. She made taking photos effortless-- she created an environment in which my husband and I were excited to take photos (which usually isn't the case!). She is incredibly responsive, goes above and beyond (providing help in other aspects of the planning process), and worked very well with our other vendors. Her photos are STUNNING, and she provided the entire suite of photos within TWO WEEKS! Plus, she shared photos from the wedding on the DAY OF! Hire Heather -- you won't regret it!

10/10 for Heather!

Heather is a fantastic photographer to work with! She is so chill and takes amazing photographs. Heather offers engagement photos for her couples, which were a super fun way to get to know her and get used to being in front of the camera. On wedding day, she made everything SO quick and easy so that we were actually able to enjoy cocktail hour and seeing our guests, while still capturing tons of amazing pictures. She turns around a "sneak peak" album really quickly as well. Her second shooter was also so sweet and really fun to work with. 10/10 for sure!

professional and charming

Heather Dodge was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding. She is, for starters, an awesome person and immediately makes you feel comfortable. I have felt awkward in the past having my picture taken but you really don't feel like that way at all, she actually makes it fun. Our pictures from our wedding day were stunning and friends and family continue to comment on it. She was able to capture emotion and our candid moments. Heather was also helpful outside of just taking pictures and was very responsive and organized. If you need a sign to use her, here it is!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
