Paul was the absolute perfect photographer. We met with quite a few different photographers before we met with Paul. The moment we had our initial meeting with him we knew he would be our photographer almost right away. His charisma, understanding, and knowledge are profound. Any specifics we had he was certain to do and ensured that everything was even better than we had hoped for. Our package included the engagement session which turned out to be impeccable. Paul has a vision for how a photo will turn out that shocked us. The session was so much fun and the photos were exquisite. We also got the magnet Save the Dates which many of our family and friends still use because they are so impressed with how well they turned out. The planning and finalizing was very stress free. Paul had so much experience working with all of our vendors that it made it that much easier for us because he knew what to expect from each one. What's even better was that all of our vendors were excited to work with him. When it came to the wedding day we really enjoyed having Paul there the entire time. He was always there capturing each moment with us but never to the point where he seemed intrusive. Our guests even enjoyed talking with Paul and seeing his creativity as the day unfolded. And then the final product is completely awe inspiring. A couple of my coworkers are now saying that they regret having not gone with Paul for their weddings once they had seen our photos. I honestly can not think of one negative thing to say about Paul. He really helped to ensure that we can reflect and treasure each moment of our wedding day forever.

Great Experience, Highly Recommend!

Paul came highly recommended to us from our wedding venue and we could not be happier with the result! He really knew the space and lighting well and was very personable and worked well with our wedding party and families. He also took our priorities for the day into account and adhered the timeline we had in place very well, maximizing the time we had. We’re so pleased with the quality of the photos and the memories we get to take away from the day because of them.
