Best Purchase of our Wedding

Easily the best purchase we made for our wedding. Shelby and Rick are a fun, easy going, and extremely talented team. They put us both at ease during our engagement shoot, and it really made us look forward to the wedding day. They took tons of pictures, and they are so beautiful. It was worth every penny. We accidentally put them later on the schedule, and they came early so they could give us all the hours of coverage that we paid for. I cannot recommend Shelby and Rick enough. They are kind, professional, and prompt. The photos are incredible quality, and I think this was the best value of all the big-ticket items for our wedding. Their style is more laid back and true to life versus highly posed portraits. They capture lovely, cinematic style photos and lots of more candid, down-to-earth ones too.

Photo/Video Team for a Day, Friends for Life!

Shelby and Rick did everything to make our day perfect. Even before our wedding, they made our engagement session so fun we didn't want it to end. We made a great connection with them and we consider them good friends of ours now. We love how they approach their content -- natural, real images, using the colors within the photo instead of bright, over saturated and orange looks. We know we are going to treasure their work forever!

Easily the best investment we made

We cannot recommend Rick and Shelby enough! If you are our friend, family, or a stranger on the street we have met - there is a huge chance we've talked your ear off about how much we love our wedding photographers, the quality and quantity of photographs they produce, and the video they made for us of our wedding day. Easily, they were the best vendor decision we made in a huge line of wonderful-vendor decisions. They championed our ideas for us, added creative touches that were unique in what feels like an wedding era where coming up with unique ideas seems impossible, and never missed a chance to represent the personality of my husband and I. The wedding pictures are priceless and showed detail that we would have otherwise probably missed in a fast-paced day. The wedding video that they did left us speechless and brought all of the emotions of our wedding day flying back even months later. We cannot recommend them enough as professionals or people.

Absolutely loved working with Rick & Shelby!

Rick and Shelby were so wonderful to work with. They were communicative, fun, and had great ideas for photos! We highly recommend giving them a call. They are such sweet people, and they made us feel at ease while we were working with them. They also had my bridal party cracking up during the "getting ready" portion of the day. We just got our photos back, and we love them! We would definitely work with them again!

A wonderful experience

Rick and Shelby were absolutely amazing, they work well together and truly enjoy what they do. They were always quick to respond and never made us feel pressured. Our engagement pictures turned out wonderfully. I told them I really wanted to have a shoot in downtown Memphis at a local coffee shop because I was a barista for 5 years and they made it happen! They were so professional about shooting in another business and made sure the owner was okay with us photographing there. On our wedding day they made sure to get all the shots with both sides of the family, they had a great system for getting group shots to make sure everyone was included. They were attentive, considerate and we cannot wait to see our final photos! I highly recommend them :)

Absolutely Exsquisite

I had my wedding back in October in Navarre shortly after Hurricane Michael hit. We had everything go wrong that could possibly go wrong pertaining to planning and having a wedding. However, the silver lining through it all, I still got married and I had the most amazing photographers capture it exquisitely. If you're not used to being in front of the camera (like me) they have a way of making you feel comfortable and at ease. They really take the time to get to know their clients, and capture the wedding day effortlessly. When you're good, you're good, and these guys are AMAZING. Their attention to detail and personalization really made my pictures one of a kind. I am absolutely in love with our wedding pictures. I highly recommend them. 😊😊
