AMAZING! With having a destination wedding back home while living on the East Coast we were very selective in finding the right photographer. Vince made the process easy and his photography caught every amazing moment of our big day that captured memories to last a lifetime.
His flexibility and easy-going personality complimented the laid-back, fun vibe of the party. We greatly appreciated the services he and his team provided. Very reasonably priced with excellent quality of work. Highly recommend.

Vince is absolutely talented and amazing

Vince and his team at Open Iris were PHENOMENAL!! I could not have asked for a better experience. The wedding went by so fast, I was extremely happy to have every memory caught in the photos. It was like I was reliving the whole day all over again as I went through them. He didn’t miss a moment and I am so thankful for that. He always responded very quickly to anything I had questions about before the wedding. I will definitely hire Open Iris again for any of mine and my Husband’s photography needs in the future. You ROCK and I can’t thank you enough!!

When I got engaged, I knew that photography was going to be one of the most important choices I made for my wedding. I wanted pictures that I would be in love with, blown away by. When I first saw Vince's portfolio, I knew he was the photographer I wanted--his photos were so beautifully editorial, the lighting in them was magical, and the moments captured ethereal. I got married in Illinois, and I paid the extra money to fly Vince out there because I knew I wouldn't find anyone I liked better. It was absolutely the right choice. I have wedding photos that belong in magazines. I've received so many compliments on his work. Most importantly, I feel Vince captured the beauty of my marriage. I had both my engagement pictures and wedding photos shot by Vince. During photo-shoots, Vince was very good at getting my husband and I to feel natural in front of the camera. He has great vision for creative shots, and you will be guaranteed to have more favorite pictures than you can even keep track of because all of them come out so amazingly well. He uses different lighting, both film and digital cameras, so you get a variety of great-looking options. Both my engagement shoot and wedding photos were outdoors, and I think that is the space in which Vince thrives. He captures the beauty of nature so well, it's almost like you are looking at a fantasy world. On top of that, he is very good at capturing the sweet, loving moments between couples. Vince is truly an artist. His skills with a camera should not be underestimated. I was proud to have him as my photographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
