Inredible! World class!

Unposed is world class. I absolutely love Jeff and Cathy. Our wedding photos are more incredible than I ever imagined. They were also fabulous to work with throughout the many COVID changes. I feel so lucky to get to work with them again next year for our larger party. The best part is- engagement and wedding photos can feel slightly awkward. But not with Jeff and Cathy. They are so great at making it all feel natural and company. I highly recommend- 5 out of 5... AMAZING at what they do!

Wedding Photography

Cathy&Jeff are the most outstanding couple and photographer duo. They attended to every detail and need we had especially with our wedding being during Covid. They were part of our dream team for our big day. They are organized, professional, have great personalities and made us feel so relaxed on our special day. We decided to hire them as one of our vendors immediately after checking out their website. Their work and service is beyond comparable to anyone else!! Totally worth every single penny! We loved them so much we added a separate purchase for wall art to add to our house and an outstanding photo album for our bookcase!

Best Photographers EVER!!!

I found UnPosed Photography completely by chance at a Bridal Expo when I quickly fell in love with a photo they had of the venue we were getting married in. I ran home to tell my now husband I had found photographers I love and that we had to book them for our big day- and thank goodness we did. Cathy and Jeff were with us every step of the way answering questions, providing guidance, and bringing us joy when things got stressful. They linked us to other vendors that we loved working with and made booking our wedding so incredibly easy. They are the kindest people and their photography is simply breathtaking. They listen to concerns and make necessary adjustments to make you feel comfortable with every photo they take. They captured our love so beautiful during our engagement shoot and wedding day and they changed my life by coaching me through my amazing boudoir shoot. They became part of our family and wedding party and made everyone they encountered feel amazing. I'll work with them for the rest of my life because they truly are that wonderful. They are truly the most amazing people and the best addition to your team when planning a wedding; we cannot thank them enough for all they did leading up to our wedding day, our big day, and beyond. Simply put, we love UnPosed and you will too!

Best choice

Cathy and Jeff were the perfect choice for our wedding photographers! My husband and I have always had problems taking photos together, always blinking, fake smiling, awkward angles, etc. But somehow they created magic! The morning after our wedding we saw the sneak peek video and both had tears in our eyes. Later after watching it multiple times, we marveled at how good we looked! Then 3 weeks later when we saw the whole gallery we were amazed at how many perfect shots they got. We had a large family to take pictures of as well as 11 children and they killed it! Besides for taking great pictures, Cathy and Jeff and great humans. They will make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. After working/talking with them you will feel like you have 2 new friends. Highly highly recommend.

A day full of quirks that worked

Cathy and Jeff were an absolute joy to work with. I got to know them at a previous wedding and saw how efficient, professional and FUN they were to be around so I knew that they would be the right ones to capture our big day. My now husband and I are pretty off-beat and they just went with it the whole weekend, allowing us to do all of the quirky things that made us.....us. They captured many great moments during our rehearsal dinner and then on the wedding day, Cathy hung out with the girls at the salon while Jeff was with the guys prepping at the hotel, and everything just fell into place for the next 12+ hours. There is a lot I don't remember about that weekend because it moved so fast, but luckily I have all of the awesome photos to remind me of how truly spectacular everything was. Thanks Unposed!

Simply the Best

From the first call to the last photo, Cathy and Jeff of Unposed gave us a great experience. They made us feel comfortable, kept us on schedule, and did probably the most important thing of all, great work with no added stress. They went above and beyond to make sure our special day was able to be just that, special. A lot of people go into to making a wedding day perfect and we will never forget them for helping us have that. I would highly, highly recommend using them for your wedding

A Truly Wonderful Experience

Cathy and Jeff are phenomenal. They were immensely helpful through the entirety of our wedding experience. Through planning our engagement pictures, answering any and all questions about planning such as flowers, timelines, food, music, and anything in between about the wedding and beyond. My husband hates getting his picture taken and was dreading that aspect of our wedding the most. After taking our engagement pictures he was so amazed at how laid-back and easy Jeff and Cathy made the experience that he was actually excited to take some pictures on our wedding day. We got married a year ago and we just received the sweetest note from Cathy and Jeff, as well as a flash drive with all our pictures on it. Everything with UnPosed is so personalized and thoughtful I can’t imagine having anyone else take pictures for us on our special day. It was truly a blessing to get to know them and have them with us every step of the way. Thank you Jeff and Cathy!!

The Best Photographers Ever!

I wish I could rate Jeff and Cathy an infinite number of stars! I seriously can't picture our wedding day without the two of them. Throughout the entire planning process, Jeff and Cathy made the time to meet with us, call us and answer every single one of our emails to ensure that we had everything we needed for a perfect day. Jeff and Cathy created our wedding timeline months in advance and made planning so much easier. Not only are they the best photographers in the world, they are two of the nicest people we have ever met. Cathy stayed by my side the entire day, bustled my dress, pinned flowers in my hair, held my lipstick and even gave me her coat for outdoor pictures because mine had Velcro and was sticking to my dress. I had guests come up to me after the wedding and tell me that our photographers were the best they had ever seen. AND - we received our wedding photos within 6 days of our wedding! Our experience could not have been any better!

Cathy and Jeff at UnPosed are much more than amazing photographers. They are amazing people. Truth be told, some of the best I have ever had the pleasure to get to know. While I could tell you all day about how wonderful they are at their job, how their couples never stop smiling when they are around them, or how just how much more fun energy they bring to a wedding day that is already bursting with positive energy - you can read their couples' reviews - they are jaw-dropping to read. I'm going to tell you how they are as a fellow vendor. I am wedding cinematographer (videographer). And with this line of work, we get to work with a wide, WIDE variety of different vendors from all over the country, and after filming over 300 weddings since my company has been open, in different states, different styles and socio-economic backgrounds - so, please, let that sink in as I say, Jeff and Cathy are one of the VERY VERY BEST I have ever worked with. They bring a sense of compassion and love to each wedding day not only for their couples but for the other vendors working with them. As you might guess, video and photo tend to work pretty tightly all day together, so when I say that I feel like we were already best friends from our very first shoot together, I want you to know how welcoming, caring and truly outgoing they are as people. Shooting with UnPosed never feels like work, but rather getting together with some of the most creative and caring people and filming for fun. It's true, they care and truly love their couples, but they always go out of their way for the other vendors too, making it an absolute joy to work with them and an absolute honor to call them friends.
