Highly Recommend!

We would not have wanted anyone else to photograph our wedding! Ling and the team at Trailing Twine helped us through every step of the wedding planning process, including helping to create the timeline for our wedding day to make sure everything ran smoothly! From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Ling and her team made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. The team was able to capture every moment of our wedding day, and we will cherish the pictures forever! Ling was easy to communicate with, and my husband and I especially appreciated the Zoom call to meet the entire team and review everything the week before the wedding; it really put us at ease knowing Ling and her team had everything covered and under control! Ling, Danielle, Sarah, Kevin, and Branden were all professional, easy to work with, and added even more fun to the day. Sarah even came to the rescue and fixed my heel when it broke right before the ceremony!! We would highly recommend Trailing Twine to any couple looking for a professional, thorough, and fun photography team!!

Amazing amazing amazing amazing!!!

Wow wow wow – words cannot describe how incredibly amazing Ling and her team are, including Jacqueline, Sarah, Kevin and Brenden! From our engagement shoot to the rehearsal dinner, and of course our wedding day, Ling and her team made our wedding vision come to life. Every single photo and video they took was sheer perfection, and they took the time to truly make sure that every element of our wedding was captured. Look no further than Ling and the Trailing Twine team if you are looking to have a picture-perfect event or wedding!!

our day was captured perfectly

Ling and her team at Trailing Twine are exceptional to work with! Ling has been so attentive and responsive from the moment I made an inquiry all the way up until the big day. My husband and I had a small non-traditional wedding at a beautiful outdoor venue and it was so nice to work with a team who understood that even though our wedding was small it was just as much a celebration! They totally got the type of photos we wanted, made us feel so comfortable, and really must’ve taken thousands of photos. I honestly cannot recommend Trailing Twine Photography LLC enough, they captured our day perfectly!

A Fun Photography Experience

Ling and Jackie helped make our wedding day so special!! From the start, working with Trailing Twine was incredibly easy and streamlined. They stayed in contact with us throughout our entire planning process, which helped relieve a lot of anxiety, and their client portal made it easy to stay on track with the planning process.

On the day of our wedding, Ling and Jackie made us feel so supported and comfortable. They were also able to help wrangle our large extended family for family photos, which is no easy feat. Our guests were also huge fans of the gif booth!

Thanks Trailing Twine for all of your help, we can't wait to see the photos!

Great option for wedding livestream

Due to Covid we decided to add a livestream of our wedding at the last minute. We used Ling and Trailing Twine and they did such a great job. If you are looking to livestream I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Ling was great from the start. They brought both great technical expertise and some common sense to make a great plan. We had an outside wedding and we weren't sure if about internet connection or how strong the cell reception would be, but Ling and Trailing Twine put all our fears to rest.

On the day of they showed up, coordinated with everyone to ensure a great video-stream, and then edited a copy right on the spot to leave with us before we left. Nothing was quite as amazing as getting to watch the video of our wedding the next morning.

We could not be happier with Ling and Trailing Twine. Definitely recommend if you all are looking for a livestream.

10/10 Photography Team

We couldn't have been any luckier to cross paths with Ling at Trailing Twine Photography when looking for a wedding photographer for our 10/10/21 wedding. Ling was professional, personable, hard working and extremely organized and truly made us feel like family throughout the whole process. We were lucky enough to work with Ling and Jenna for our engagement session and then with Jenna and Jacqueline on our wedding day. The team at Trailing Twine honestly never misses one single beat. They take the time to get to know you, provide you a once in a lifetime service and keep your nerves at bay throughout the whole process. From our engagement session to a mini pre-wedding session and of course, our wedding day, Ling and her team delivered the most beautiful product. We could not have been more thankful to have them on our team and now we have these beautiful photos to remember for a lifetime!

Trailing Twine is the BEST

What can I say about Ling and her team! She is such an amazing person and was so helpful throughout. Always asking questions, what we like what we didn't like, were we missing any vendors, etc. Her joy for you comes through and she makes you feel so comfortable while taking pictures. Her pictures speak for themselves honesty, so dreamy soft, always up for fun pictures and willing to try new poses. Her assistant Jenna was there on my day as well, and her energy matched that of Ling, excitement and happiness throughout on our special day. If you don't have a photographer yet, RUN don't look elsewhere because Ling and her team are the IT TEAM!!! I just loved working them!!!

Amazing experience!

We decided within the last couple months to hire Ling as our videographer/live stream for our wedding. We had to downsize our wedding due to COVID, but we wanted to make sure that people uninvited were able to be there for the ceremony. Also we got the video for us to keep and rewatch again. I thought I didn’t want to initially spend the money on a video but I am so happy I did. The quality was great and the keepsake memory is amazing and I would have regretted not having a video. Ling is super organized and has all her bases covered. Would not recommend more.

Do not book anyone else but ling messer for a photographer.

I cannot recommend Ling and her assistant Jena enough. Her special details and touches to her customer service was amazing. She truly made us feel like friends and is so passionate about what she does! We went ahead with her full package and are so happy we did! The engagement session she really took her time and the photos brought tears to our eyes. We really lucked out with our vendors in general but Ling by far captured the story of our day so we can look back on it for the years to come.
DO NOT BOOK ANYONE ELSE BUT LING MESSER FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER. You will not regret it I promise you.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Ling is a true professional, caring deeply for her clients and her craft. She is constantly developing herself and her craft, seeking out topnotch training, equipment, and skills. She is invested in work and her brand, and I have been impressed with Ling from the moment I met her. She is awesome to work with, for, and alongside in the industry.
