Outstanding Photos

We were lucky enough to have Jacqueline Schlossman from READYLUCK photograph our wedding in May 2023 and our photos are absolutely stunning. Jacqueline applies a photojournalistic approach to her work which felt much more natural to us than many of the other photographers we vetted. She excels at capturing candid moments and the feeling of the day on camera. If you're looking for a whole bunch of classic posed portraits you might want to go with someone a bit more traditional (though we did get a bunch of those, too!) but for us it was imperative to have a photographer who was able to document the day as it unfolded (and edit the photos to match). The only negative was in the chaos of the day we did miss one integral family photo but the rest of the photos outweigh this mishap. We'd absolutely recommend Jacqueline and READYLUCK!

Italian Wedding - 100% captured my vision

Highly recomend, especially if you are going international! Edward Winter was beyond all my expectations. We were married in Italy!!! Eddie not only captured the beauty of our Italian countryside locations, but he also captured our spirit as a couple. It was very important to us that our venues (a 1000-year-old church and a traditional Italian villa) and all of the beautiful things that make Italy so wonderful were highlighted in an authentic way. He did this wonderfully through not only photos of the venue, but additional detail and landscape shots that capture the heart of Italy. He was able to photograph my partner as if it was through my eyes, finding details and subtle expressions that I love him for. He empowered us to be ourselves which created space for our relationship to shine through in a genuine way. Additionally, I am not very relaxed in front of a camera and he made me feel so comfortable that I love how I look in the photos!! If anyone is worried about feeling uptight when being photographed I would highly recommend him because his directives, reassurance, and calm mood made me feel relaxed (and even beautiful!) throughout the process. During portraits, he captured everyone handsomely, and our families had a good time with him, and during the ceremony and reception, I never even noticed he was taking pictures! 10 out of 10 recomend, especially if you are going International/European for your wedding!

Edward Winter is amazing

Eddie from READYLUCK was absolutely incredible on our wedding day -- we've been so excited about how great he was that it's taken almost a year to write our reviews! We got married May 2021 just as things were opening back up and were keeping it small, so Eddie one-man-banded the entire day and was a true superhero. Our portraits are so artful and we could tell he truly wanted to capture "us." Throughout the night, any time anyone was having a moment they wanted a snap of, somehow he was already there, but also never in the way - an absolute ninja and also just fun to have around all day. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you Eddie and READYLUCK!

Lindsay is an absolute dream to work with. She is fun AND funny and keeps the couple moving throughout the day. I am so excited to see what the images for our recent wedding together look like! Watching her take pictures and seeing her excitement over what she was shooting was equally exciting for me and has just built up the anticipation. Her great personality meshes with pretty much anyone in the bridal party and she keeps them smiling throughout the day. I would be happy if I could work with her on every wedding! Thanks again Lindsay for all your great work!

Palladio Quartet Palladio Quartet Wedding Musicians

These guys took photos at a wedding where we played. The photos were amazing. They were posted in "Style Me Pretty" and a couple of photos of our group were included. We loved the photos and snagged them for our website. They were so good! Ready Luck was very polite and let us use their photos. Professional to work with as well - I particularly remember the photogropher coordinating the photos with us (the musicians) to get the pictures she wanted, which seems to be pretty rare in my experience. I definitely recommend Ready Luck
