The best photographer ever!

First of all, Happy thanksgiving everyone! It’s thanksgiving day and my family was looking at my wedding photos. As we were just sitting there, listening to all the compliments about how beautiful the photos turned out, I realized I haven’t written the review that Tina deserves. Mind you, my husband is camera shy and I am just straight up awkward, but the photos came out like they were from a fashion magazine. We are sooo very thankful for Tina!!
I found Tina because she was the photographer for my friends wedding. After looking at Tina’s work, I decided that I must have Tina for my own wedding/engagement!
She is a wonderful soul to work with, very friendly yet very professional. It’s perfect. Tina captured some moments of the wedding that we were absolutely mesmerized. I recommend Tina to anyone and everyone. As you could tell, I’m a big fan!!!

Truly an amazing photographer. We feel so fortunate to have had her apart of our day.

Both my husband and I had our expectations met and then exceeded! Tina captured not only the big moments you expect photographers to catch, but also the intimate moments when you think no one is looking. The attention to detail was amazing!! We have her photos hanging all over our house and created special photo albums for our parents and ourselves. The day/night goes by so quickly so it’s wonderful to have these moments to look back on and remember. We feel so fortunate to have had her as our photographer and proudly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding wedding photographer! Thank you Tina for being everything we hoped for and more.

Thorough and fantabulous!

Tina was simply the best. She got coverage of everything I wanted AND MORE. She accurately captured my bride’s beauty and was even able to make me look good too :). She brought a sense of ease and comfort to what can be a stressful day, all while getting every shot we could have hoped for. As a result I have already compiled multiple wedding albums (there were so many great pics to choose from!). Tina cares deeply and is easy to work with. And she is a top dollar talent at a reasonable price point. I would recommend her to any friend planning their own wedding.

Tina was fantastic! Our photos are beautiful, and my camera shy husband and I loved her laid back attitude. She's a sweetheart, and we loved working with her.

Wedding Regret

I took a really long time deciding if I should write this review because I hate saying anything negative, but in the end I realized that I wish I would have read something like this before booking Tina for my wedding. I let Tina know about my feelings right after the wedding, but she didn't do anything to remedy the situation.

The two biggest problems I had were:
1. I paid extra money for two photographers so nothing would get missed. Instead of using the second photographer to make sure all the details were captured, both photographers were trying to shoot the same things and ended up in a TON of the photos during the Ketubah signing and the hora where two photographers were not needed! I had to spend hours trying to crop the photographers out of frames and had to delete a ton of photos because there was no way to crop them. I have never seen this in anyone's wedding photos before and I have been in more weddings than I can count. Everyone who has looked at the album is shocked by this.
2. Many details and moments weren't captured. I paid extra money for 10 hours so there would be time to capture everything. Tina helped me put together the timeline, but the entire day seemed rushed! We barely got any bridal party photos and the ones we got didn’t turn out great. We have no good group shots of the groomsmen for our album. I don't have detail photos of the boutonnieres, bride and bridesmaid bouquets, welcome signs, special floral details, finalized ceremony setup, interior and exterior shots of the venue. I spent a lot of my time making sure the wedding details were perfect, but now I will never be able to remember them.

Maybe this was an off night, but almost a year later I am still left with regret. I had a gorgeous wedding with some of the best vendors, but I don't have the photos needed to make a complete wedding album - I still haven't made one.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
