You will not be disappointed with Shades Shutters Photography!

I would recommend Shades Shutters Photography a million times over! Since meeting with Wendy and Traci from the beginning, I knew they would be professional and great to work with. Not only did we have them there on the wedding day, Wendy designed our Save the Dates, Invitations/RSVP cards, and thank you cards (with a photo of us). They were cohesive and matched the New England/Mystic vibe that we wanted. On the day of the wedding they were prompt, helpful, and you could tell that they loved what they did! They made taking photos fun and comfortable. One of my favorite things that they offer that I have not seen anywhere else is that during the dinner, they print out photos that they took that day and display them for your guests to see. We got to take those home at the end of the night and it was so great to already have photos from our special day in our hands. You will not be disappointed with hiring them for your special day!

Wendy and Traci of Shades and Shutters Photography made our wedding over the top special!! I can't say enough about them. From the moment my husband and I met them they were down to earth yet professional. The pictures were lovely and they even did an awesome photo lounge for us!! Definitely recommend the photo lounge. They went above and beyond throughout the entire process. They were friendly and maintained contact to answer any questions. Love Shades and Shutters!!

Without a moment's hesitation, I would recommend Shades' Shutters, and Wendy and Traci, to any bride-to-be. They are an incredible duo who provide the most high quality service. My husband and I knew the moment we met them, that we had found our photographers. Their work speaks for itself. We were looking for someone who could capture all the candid moments as well as make the posed photos look natural-they do this and so much more. Wendy and Traci were more than willing to work with our budget, and the value is incredible! Not to mention, they were so quick to respond to every email we sent.

The day of the wedding, Wendy and Traci were on time and ready to go. Our makeup and hair stylist were very late but they worked with it and made me feel completely at ease. We all had so much fun taking pictures as we were getting ready and looking at the proofs I had so much fun seeing what they captured in the room. At the ceremony, my husband and I completely forgot they were even there! They moved around the church silently and caught all the beautiful moments. Our guests and the church choir also commented over and over how unobtrusive Wendy and Traci were throughout the ceremony. They worked so well with the wedding coordinator at our vendor and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted. My husband and I just looked through all the proofs-they are stunning!

I highly, highly recommend Shades' Shutters to all!!! They are amazing in all aspects!

Thank you!
