Travis is amazing. My husband and I actually met Travis when all three of us worked together at a collision center a few years ago. Shortly after, Travis became a photographer and we went on a whim and told him that he could do our engagement pictures. He nailed it. Travis is a fairly new photographer but you would never know it. He makes the whole photoshoot so much fun and will listen to any suggestions you may have. After he nailed our engagement shots, we asked him to be our wedding photographer on October 28th. He asked me a few weeks before the wedding if it was okay for him to bring along a second photographer, Mark Gowen, who was wanting to get more wedding shots for his portfolio.
We had an outside ceremony, it was about 45 degrees. My wedding party could have easily been cranky with their RFB plastered across their faces due to how cold it was. But no, Travis and Mark made the pictures so fun and quick that all my wedding party was giggling and having a blast the entire time, including me. Usually when I'm cold, I'm done. No smiles, just crankiness. I didn't even notice the cold because Travis kept everything moving so smoothly.
I 100% recommend Travis and I'm so grateful we asked him to be our wedding photographer. Granted, we only have gotten a few sneak peek pictures since our wedding was a few days ago. But if all the shots are as good as these, I will be so happy!

Talented, but inconsistent and poor customer service
Travis is incredibly talented and did a wonderful job on our engagement photos. Sadly, our wedding photos were a different story. He seemed off during the day and we had to frequently ask him to take photos which was different from the way he conducted our engagement shoot. When we received our gallery it featured almost no photos of my wife, the bride who had poured herself into this day. It was incredibly disappointing that he didn't have the awareness to shoot from different angles to feature her or at least reposition us. That is the only concern that really mattered, but there were other things like framing, awareness of lighting, and editing that were not up to the standards he had led us to expect. After the wedding, I expressed my disappointment and he was not only defensive but incredibly dismissive of our concerns. Had he tried to acknowledge our concerns it would have gone a long way. Sadly, that was not the case. Based on our engagement shoot, I'd give him 5 stars. But on the day that it mattered most, he left us incredibly disappointed.
