Fun and Fantastic Photographer

Whitney went above and beyond to make sure we had the pictures we wanted of our wedding weekend in GA! Our venue was a barn by the water, and she did such a great job capturing the sweetest moments of us in a natural setting (though, the pictures from inside the barn during our reception are also very dreamy!) - she is so talented. While guests were still eating, she pulled us away briefly for some sunset pictures, which I would have never thought of (being a distracted bride). Whitney was really easy to work with, thoughtful, and she took time to make sure we were happy with all parts of our experience. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!

Professional & Personable

Whitney was very professional. We hired her for our out of state wedding because we were so impressed by her artistic eye and style. Her calm personality made taking the pictures enjoyable and we loved all the different moments that she captured. We will be using her again for future photography needs.

Like a Dream

We were familiar with Whitney's photography prior to our wedding, so when we decided to get married and look for a photographer, we knew that we wanted her to capture our day for us. Lucky for us, Whitney agreed to fly the long distance to London, UK and despite having not seen either of our venues in person, only online, it was like she had shot there many times. We were attracted to her mixture of black and white/colour shots, the attention to detail, natural and traditional blend of photography, that she manages to capture effortlessly all in one day. She was professional, friendly and put both us and all of our guests at ease on the big day. Upon our arrival back from our honeymoon we were incredibly excited to see our photographs; we were not disappointed. The photographs of our wedding taken by Whitney, are like a story of our day: she captured the mad hair moments, the traditional group pictures of family and friends and most importantly the attention to detail, that we thought only we noticed. They are absolutely superb and everyone compliments them. Therefore we would like to compliment her: a fabulous, professional individual with such talent: thanks Whitney, we'll treasure our wedding photos forever; you created an excellent memory of our day. We highly recommend you.

All the angles

We don't have enough great things to say about Whitney. Not only did she brave a snowpocalypse to get to us, when even our wedding planner didn't, she captured every minutes of our special day. She brought great ideas as well as a willingness to hear ours. Simply put, she was a part of the success of our day.

We are still so grateful for her kindness and professionalism.

Wonderful photographer!

We hired Whitney for our wedding photos and she was great! We got married on the Oregon Coast and we were having a hard time to find a good photographer that didn't charge outrageous fees. Then we found Whitney! Taking to her and planning the day was super easy: she was very approachable, flexible and accommodating. We chose to meet before the ceremony and she was able to capture all of our emotions when we first saw each other! The weather wasn't perfect but the pictures looked amazing! After the ceremony we stepped away for some family pictures. Although we wanted to have pictures with the family we also didn't want to spend too much time away from our guests! We wanted to also enjoy our day and visit with everyone. Whitney was able to take amazing pictures of us with the family and more pictures of us as well.. She also got lots of amazing shots of the decoration, natural photos of our guests and us that we will cherish forever! We highly recommend her!

Amazing person to work with and amazing photographer!!

We absolutely LOVED working with Whitney. She was responsive, gave updates, took amazing photos, and was so nice! We have already recommended her to friends, and will continue to do so! Going with Whitney for our photography was easily one of the best wedding decisions we made! Our photos turned out gorgeous, and we really could not have asked for anything better!

Such a wonderful woman!

"I could go on and on about how pleased we are with our wedding photos and how amazing Whitney is. She exceeded our highest expectations as our photographer and honestly, I couldn’t be happier. Whitney quickly put us at ease with her warm personality. She made me feel like we had an old friend photographing us. She is someone I could easily sit down with and want to get to know. We have the perfect blend of posed and candid images to select from. I love how she caught so many candid moments without us being aware that the lens was on us. I also appreciate how she captured the little details, like the decorations and little things that mattered to me since it was mostly a DIY wedding. Her artistic flare captured every detail of our special day. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of photographer

Incredible Service

Whitney did an incredible job capturing my wedding. The pictures she took at our wedding were stunning and showed exactly how we feel. Between our joking, laughing, happy tears, and dancing, she still managed to make this album everything I could've dreamed of. She helped keep me calm, kept the pictures flowing, captured photos of everyone we love in the action and provided the photos back to us within a week. A WEEK! Some photographers don't get them back to you for months. Whitney was a joy to be around, work with, and continues to show her incredible talent through her photos. I seriously couldn't recommend her more. If you are looking for a photographer, she is your girl.

Beautiful pictures with ease and professionalism

"Whitney was our photographer not only for our wedding, but also our pre-wedding activities and rehearsal dinner. Whitney was reliable, punctual, polite and always had a smile on her face. Throughout our wedding day the weather switched from clouds and thunderstorms to sun and blue skies. Whitney was able to take beautiful photographs and accommodate to every situation with ease and professionalism. I received many compliments from my family and friends regarding her skills in interacting with children, families and large groups, and always making everyone feel calm and comfortable in front of the camera. Whitney took beautiful traditional wedding photos, but always had an eye for those special and unique shots. She was extremely easy to work with and made me feel at ease throughout the whole day, even through the rain! I would highly recommend hiring Whitney for any and all of your photography needs. whether it's for your wedding or any other event. My husband and I felt very lucky to have such an excellent photographer and beautiful pictures for our special day!"
