If you're looking for two of the most amazing people who will make you feel special, and make you look your best in your Wedding pics look no further! Shutter Force is an absolute must! It's like having your best friend take your wedding photos, but your best friend is an amazingly talented photographer. Our pictures were unbelievable and to top it off Meagan handled the craziness of our COVID wedding with confidence and flexibility. Do yourself the favor and book them NOW!

The Most Amazing Photos!!

If I could give this husband/wife team 10/5 stars I would!!! They are professional, well priced and produce unbelievable and stunning photos. There were some big things that went awry on our wedding day due to another vendor we hired (beware of scams artists, they are all over the wedding industry!) and Meagan was SO reassuring and calming to me. She was like my photographer, wedding coordinator and therapist all rolled into one! Trust me...you want this woman by your side on your wedding day. Both James and Meagan went above and beyond for us, and they saved the day for us in so, so many ways (most importantly by helping to bring back happy memories with their stunning photos!) I have some regrets over things that happened and things I would have done differently (I think every couple does!) but one thing I did absolutely right was to hire Shutter Force photography! The quality and number of photos they delivered is truly amazing. Even my guests commented on how efficient and 'on top of it' they both were.

The only **teeny tiny** thing I would have done differently is that a lot of the group photos after the ceremony were taken at an 'up angle' that wasn't super flattering in my opinion. So, if you're like me and are sensitive about looking like you have multiple chins, maybe just mention that you'd rather have the photos taken straight on.

Photos are (in my opinion) the most important wedding investment you make, since that is what you will have to last you a lifetime. Hire these amazing humans for photos you will treasure forever!!!

Unforgettable!

They were so easy to work with, fun to work with, accommodating and flexible, and helped ease the stress of our long wedding day! They captured our day perfectly and the pictures are EPIC! I would recommend them to any couple looking for professional, but down to earth photographers who will for sure not disappoint!

Absolutely Amazing

Meagan and James are just absolutely wonderful to work with! They did both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures. All of the pictures turned out beautiful! We have received a ton of compliments on our photos and my bridesmaids loved how they guided us through pictures. They were even super patient when we wanted to include our pups for our engagement pictures and got some great pictures of them racing around, being silly. On our wedding day they captured all of the emotions through photos… I can’t say enough good things about these two!

The best!!

If I could give Meagan and James more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Not only are they phenomenal photographers, but they are also genuine, kind, and just all around wonderful people! It was really important to us that we connect with our wedding photographers and it took all of 10 seconds talking to the Brogans to feel that connection. We loved working with them, highly, highly recommend!!

The most amazing wedding photographers!

In the early stages of wedding planning, I reached out to 4 photographers for competitive fee estimates. Not only was ShutterForce the most responsive, their prices were very competitive. Due to Covid-19, we were unable to do an engagement photoshoot. Additionally, due to Covid-19, we were forced to cancel our big wedding celebration and opt for a much smaller, intimate backyard wedding. This change in plans resulted in a lessened need for wedding coverage. Meagan and James were SO flexible and accommodating with the pricing related to our change in plans.

In regards to the actual services provided, Meagan and James were superbly professional! They showed up in all black attire and with the appropriate personal protective gear. My florist was extremely late to the party, and Meagan helped keep me calm as our wedding start time came and went (with many guests patiently waiting via Zoom), still without any flowers or a bouquet. During the ceremony, We did not even notice Meagan and James moving about the ceremony site to capture the event - they were swift and quiet.

The quality of the photos are amazing! Our wedding night was a bit stormy, but you wouldn't even be able to notice in the photos. We were hoping for a beautiful sunset, but we didn't get one. Regardless, Meagan and James were able to capture the underlying beauty of a somewhat mediocre sky that evening. It was a small affair, but they thoughtfully captured the magic of that night - the flowers, the decorations, and the small, candid moments that really matter.

10/10 WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!!

Amazing Photographers!

Meagan and James are amazing! They did our engagement pictures and will be covering our wedding in a couple of weeks. It was our first time taking professional pictures and we were a little worried but Meagan and James were patient with us, were very creative, and open to our ideas. We have amazing memories with them from our session and can’t wait for our wedding day. Not only we had a blast during the session but our photos are beautiful.

Hawaii wedding made memorable. MAHALO!

For someone who hates getting their photo taken, they did a great job making me feel comfortable. They called when we first hired and asked a ton of questions, but only once. They took all our request to heart and made it happen. As weddings do, much things began to go wrong. The mic went out during our vows, the water pipes broke before reception (thank God the site had a plumber that fixed the issue), the brogans kept it moving. They destrsssed us by talking us through it and made an opportunity out of it to take more photos . The best part was when they sent us photos. The quality really captured our wedding day. You can tell that these two are a couple because they had great and chemistry. It shows in the work that they have passion for this job. Highly recommended them!

I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with them for such an important day; their gorgeous images speak for themselves, and they are two of the kindest, most creative and most personable individuals you could meet! My husband and I are so thankful that we have their amazing images to remember our special day by!
