Fantastic!

From the first moment we decided to use Shooting Star Photography to receiving our photos, we have had a wonderful experience with Shooting Star. Communication was great from Sally and Alek. The prices were very good. Above all, Sally was wonderful. She has a great eye and photographed my daughter’s beach wedding beautifully! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Amazing photographer has captured memories that will last a lifetime.

He came out to do my wedding photos on Anna Maria island, very nice man, friendly, patient and the photos were amazing.
I made a great choice with this company and now have amazing photos to remember the day.

Alec and Sally are a awesome husband and wife team. They were on time, very friendly, answer email questions quickly and affordable. Our album and pics are beautiful. Alec and Sally never got in our way when taking pics. They did everything we asked them to do. Alec and Sally are wondering people and would recommend them to all our friends and family. If you are on a budget this is the photographer you want to hire. I want to say thank you again Alec and Sally for an awesome job. You all deserve a score of high 10!

We hired Alek to take our family photos at Anna Maria and we could not have been happier with the results! Right from the start he was very responsive with providing detailed responses to my emails, and very friendly! He was also very professional and great with a large group with toddlers. Finally, the value is just unbelievable! Not only do you get great service but so many beautiful images. I looked at other photographers as well but I was by far the most impressed with everything Shooting Star had to offer. Alek did an amazing job capturing our family memories and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Alek!

In a vendor's perspective, working with Alek was a dream. He was so welcoming throughout the process and approachable the whole wedding day. Alek communicated with me during all transitional times and more importantly, was adamant on giving the couple a few moments to themselves during the busy day to be with each other. I was so fortunate to be able to work with him. I cannot recommend Alek enough--he filled in all the time provided to get some amazing shots of the wedding day. Thank you for being so professional and easy to be around. I hope to work with you again!

WOW! Alek and Sally did a fantastic job on our Wedding day. The husband and wife team did a great job capturing the special moments of our day. Their experience with beach weddings put my fiancee and me at ease. In following their Facebook page in the months leading up to our wedding day we were confident and comfortable with our choice. They felt like part of the family!!! Thank you Shooting Star Photography.

Alek and Sally came very highly recommended, we were excited to have the opportunity to work with them. They are not only extremely professional but they are both wonderful people to be around. We not only enjoyed their company but really enjoyed how well they work together and with other vendors like the DJ and wedding planner. We were truly honored to have them work our wedding and would highly recommend them for any event you are planning. Thank you Alek and Sally for capturing our fondest memories of our wedding!
