We were recommended Summer at Wicked Petunia by our wedding planner Rachael at Bad Boss Bride and it was the best decision ever!
From the first phone call to the last photo of the night - you can truly tell Summer loves what she does and is exceptional at it! She is so warm, fun and talented!
She takes took time out to make personalized videos explaining our specific packages, reviewing timelines, getting and giving feedback and also worked so in sync with our other vendors.
She truly took the time out to get to know us, our families, dynamic, vision and embraced that to capture things that were tailored to us. Summer even knew everyone by a first name basis from the moment she started the day!
My husband and I are more reserved and were worried about being awkward during photos but from the minute Summer came to the venue she felt like family.
She gives direction without making it feel like we are having photos taking, we felt like we were hanging out all night and just ended up with exceptional photos!
I don't have enough words to explain how great Summer is as a person, how amazing she made our experience and how incredible our photos are!
We are beyond thankful and HIGHLY recommend!

Where to begin!? Summer is by far the most talented wedding photographer I’ve seen, and believe me when I say I researched far too many! After having a bad experience with a less skilled photographer for our engagement shoot, I knew I had to get this right and seriously invest in someone talented for our big day. Summer was the only answer, and I’ll be singing her praises until the end of time! We were blown away with just about every shot, and her ability to capture the magic of our day! Her photos speak for themselves– enough said. Not only is she talented, but she is such an incredible person and an absolute joy to work with. She was hands-on from the jump, and always made herself available to chat or text, and answered my every question. She is so well-organized and put together a thorough day-of timeline for us to follow, which was not only helpful for the wedding party and family, but to our venue and everyone involved. She took all of my shot ideas and made them happen in addition to putting her unique spin on things– you’ll definitely get more than your typical blah wedding shots from Summer! I’m still in shock by how Summer along with her assistant Julia effortlessly controlled our hectic wedding party with ease– we had quite the cast of characters! I did a fake first look with my husband that I plotted with Summer in advance (had one of his groomsmen in a dress tap him on the shoulder instead of me!), and it will forever be the talk of the town! My husband is still in shock and hysterically laughing, and claims Summer’s assistant was the one that really sold it– I don’t know how she kept a straight face seeing a hairy man in a white dress! Summer and her assistant fit right in and instantly felt like family. I loved how they made us feel so comfortable– it really made the experience fun and enjoyable for all involved! We are now left with thousands of stunning photos that we’ll cherish for many years to come– we are still in awe! We’re so happy we chose Summer and will be recommending her to everyone. Best decision ever. THANK YOU SUMMER, WE LOVE YOU!!

Summer took our photos for our wedding in early June and she did the most amazing job! We needed someone who was going to take control of our large bridal party and she did that so easily. She did a phenomenal job working through the planning/timeline and when the day came she worked through some slight hiccups with no problems. Barbara jumped right into everything and they worked great together as a team. The photos we've received so far have blown us away and we've received so many comments from our family and closest friends about how great she was to work with. Our day would not have been the same without her and we are so grateful we found her!
