Most amazing photographer ever!!

My fiancé and I really struggled to find a photographer as we are very picky. When we came across Paul we decided to give him a call as we fell in love with his work. From the first call we knew he was the photographer for us as he had such a kind personality and we could tell that he paid a lot of attention to detail. He took the time to get to know us and we felt like our photography services were very personalized to us. We booked Paul about two years prior to our wedding date and he was very responsive during the whole process. One thing I really liked about Paul was that he made an effort to know each of the names of our family members and bridal party. I know our families were presently surprised when he was on a first name basis with them. This added a personalized touch that I don’t think many photographers often think about but Paul definitely did. On our wedding day he showed up early and made us feel very calm and comfortable during the whole process. I have a very fun and loud family that can be hard to reel in but he kept us all organized and we had fun during the whole wedding. We received our pictures and couldn’t have been happier with the final product. We received well over 1600 pictures and all of them are just fantastic and it really captured our day and all the love between our families. I will recommend Paul to anybody I know that’s getting married or wants to have any professional pictures taken as you won’t find a better photographer to share your day with!!

Amazing! So happy!

He recently did our engagement photos. I'm so happy with how they came out. So many amazing shots it's hard to choose my favorite. Alicia did the photo shot and made it so much fun and easy to be in frint of the camera. Paul did a great job communicating and giving us tips. He did an awesome job editing and getting them back to us so fast. We are so happy that they are also doing our wedding.

Paul and his team are very professional and WONDERFUL to work with! We had Sandra as our photographer for our engagement shoot, and she was such a pleasure! She knew exactly the kind of vibe and atmosphere we were looking for in our photos and we couldn't be happier! We are super excited to have her photograph our wedding next June!!! Thank you all again!!!

Excelsior Springs Excelsior Springs Banquet Halls

Paul was selected as the photographer for one of our April 2018 weddings and it was a complete joy to work with him! From the pre-wedding phone call to the very end of the wedding reception, Paul's professionalism, expertise and FANTASTIC energy were amazing to work with! I can entirely see why clients choose him- he is such a bright light to such a memorable day and his work speaks for itself- wow! Would highly recommend Paul and his team!

Maddalone Entertainment Maddalone Entertainment Wedding DJs

Paul has been there since my very first event(as a DJ) over 11 years ago. He has always been courteous, professional and a positive ball of energy. I have had plenty of experience working alongside Paul and his team and can say that they are a huge beneficial addition to any wedding team. I have even been in a wedding party that Paul shot and can tell you he gave us all a memorable experience and made us all genuinely smile and enjoy the pictures. If Paul is still available the do your wedding justice and Snatch Him Up!
