Roc Focus captured our special day

Roc focus is timely on communicating with us throughout 1.5 years of us planning our wedding. Leif did our engagement photos as well. He made things run so smoothly and make sure that we were comfortable. We decided to get two photographers and a videographer all through roc focus. They truly care about every detail both big and small. We highly recommend the videography because they captured the big moments and put together the most beautiful highlight film. Roc focus is one of a kind!

Family photos - family of 10!

We have a huge family (6 kids, 1 “bonus kid” and a son-in-law to be) Lief was super easy to schedule with, helped me plan outfits/locations/poses and most of all, produced GREAT pics! Not an easy task when kids range from 3-25! Rate 10/10!!

Professional, Easy to Work with

My husband and I were lucky enough to meet Leif in 2021 when we had our engagement photos. Leif was easy to work with. He honored our wishes and provided us with amazing location and photo ideas. It was incredible meeting Kristen this past weekend for our sequel wedding. They made everything so easy with their online portal. Leif also helped up by connecting us to another photographer for our minimony in August of 2021 since he was not available that date. We look forward to our album reveal next month. We already received a sneak peek the day after our ceremony!

Fun, professional, and exceptional quality photos!

RocFocus had excellent communication from the beginning. They were very accommodating to all of our wants and needs. Our engagement session was fun, easy, and personal and we couldn’t be happier with how our photos came out. We cannot wait to have RocFocus capture our wedding day through photos and video!

Hire roc focus!

Leif was absolutely amazing! He was able to capture the day beautifully without us even knowing he was there. The videos are very high quality. Highly recommend!

A+ Video Quality!

We were thrilled that Leif and his team were able to help us live stream our wedding ceremony at the last minute, due to COVID! Leif was great to work with and was quick to respond, which was truly appreciated during the chaos of wedding planning! Not only that, our virtual guests were highly impressed with the quality of the video stream - and we were so pleased with our ceremony video that Leif created for us using the footage! Thank you, Roc Focus!

Quality and easy experience

Our experience as a whole with Leif was phenomenal. Not only were his prices reasonable but turned out to be well worth it for the final product of all of our wedding photos. Leif and Kristen are a tremendous team as the photos were amazing and they were able to get so many memorable photos! Leif was always willing to talk and help us with any concerns or questions from the start. The photos came back quickly after the wedding! I would highly recommend Leif as your photographer for your wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
