Reviews of Hot Metal Studio

Simply the Best

Tif and Justin shot our wedding October 2022. We cannot recommend Hot Metal Studios enough. She captured our love and details of our day better than we could have ever imagined. Tif's wedding style was very unique to us, capturing the perfect candid and genuine emotions throughout our day and we couldn't be happier. She is talented beyond measure and truly was so fun to work with. We just got our photos back and are blown away. Hire her! Thank you, Tif. -C+L

Um... Vivian Maier? But does Weddings.

Tif is actually an artist, who just happens to carry around a camera. Her photos are absolute stunners, each and every one of them, and she manages to capture all the critical stuff you want, as well as all the sh*t you never knew you needed. Don't look any further, particularly if you are someone who appreciates a truly unique eye. They don't make photographers like Tif every day. Also, her team kicks ass.

Speechless

I am a vendor and have worked with HMS a few times. I can honestly say these aren't just photographs that this team produces. It is feeling. It is emotions...chills and tears. You can literally FEEL everything they capture. I am obsessed with every photo I have received of weddings we have done together!

Thank you for your eye, your camera and your expertise! You are AMAZING.

Fresh take on traditional wedding

Tiffany and Alyssa were amazing to work with for our wedding! We wanted to capture a fresh, modern perspective of our traditional Indian wedding and they went beyond expectations to capture our most meaningful moments. We are so grateful to have these memories!

Picture Perfect!

I really don't have the words to express how amazing Tif and Justin were on our big day. They captured all of the little details and the expansive love that was shared. I'm sharing some of my fav pics from the day, their work speaks for itself!

Tiffany is the best! She is so fun to work with and her talent is incredible. She did engagement photos for my husband and my wedding photos this past September. She puts you at ease, makes you laugh, and captures the uniqueness in people. She even got my husband to stop fake smiling so he wouldn’t ruin the photos lol.

Tiffany and her assistants each have an amazing gift. Their eye for creativity and ability to make anyone feel at ease is incredible. We still look at our photos and swoon over every single shot. Not only amazing photographers, but remarkable people as well!

Tiffany and Alyssa at Hot Metal Studio were absolutely amazing. They honestly made the day so much fun. I was nervous about being photographed all day long and being really awkward, however, they made everyone so comfortable. We received a teaser image within a week and our full album back within a month. It's been almost 2 months, and each time I look at the photos, I find a new one that I fall in love with. They did such a fantastic job of truly capturing not only the events of the day but everyone's personalities. I would hire Hot metal Studio again and again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Fun, Fresh, and Funky are how I would describe the work of Tiff and Jonathan Cooper, the couple behind Hot Metal Studio. Their love for their work shines through each shot.
