5 star experience working with Winterlyn!

Working with Winterlyn was a wonderful experience - from beginning to end!

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for amazing photos and a photographer that truly cares about your experience. Upon booking, Winterlyn sent us a welcome booklet with great information to prepare us for both the engagement photos and wedding day photos. I was originally on the fence about booking the package with the engagement photos but SO happy we did. It gave us the opportunity to get to know Winterlyn, her shooting style and get comfortable posing in front of the camera….we also got beautiful photos we used as part of our wedding day decor!

We got married during the busy wedding season, and while I had to reach out to some vendors multiple times to hear a response…this was never the case with Winterlyn. She was always responsive, organized, flexible and detail oriented which was much appreciated during the very stressful wedding planning process. She was also a great resource and scheduled time with us to help develop a photography timeline for our wedding day. On the day of the wedding she was a familiar and calming face throughout the whole day - and we actually got to enjoy the process of taking photos with her and her assistant. We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos. And we were blown away by how quickly she worked through the editing process to deliver the final photo gallery. Overall, Winterlyn is professional, delivers beautiful photos and was one of the best decisions we made when booking wedding vendors!

The absolute best ever!

Nathan and I got married on September 6th, 2025 at The Langham. I had originally found Winter through a friend (she had shot her wedding as well). I am SO glad we did. Winter is professional, easy to work with, and soooo efficient. She came to our walk through and helped us think of locations that would be beautiful and weighing walking distance so we wouldn’t have to shuttle- we got the perfect pictures, and had a little extra time pre-ceremony to soak everything in! I had zero stress knowing Winter was handling our day. She is truly the sweetest person and you will not be disappointed- the first time we saw them our jaws drooped- her images are STUNNING. We absolutely love our photos, and what we remember most about our wedding is how much fun we had! Book with Winter if you want beautiful images and peace of mind that your day and memories will be in exceptional hands.

The best decision we made for our wedding!

If you are looking for photographers and are hesitating to choose which one to go with, PLEASE stop searching and choose Winterlyn. You will have a stress-free wedding day that will result in some of the most beautiful pictures you’ve ever seen and will get to keep that memory sake forever. My husband and I were incredibly lucky and grateful to have Winterlyn as our photographer at both our engagement shoot and at our wedding. There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to praise her talent, professionalism, organization, and warm personality. On the day of our wedding, my biggest concern was our complex getting-ready timeline and I quickly realized I had nothing to worry about because Winterlyn was so on top of everything, thanks to her impeccable timing and energetic spirit. And seeing her on the morning of our biggest and most hectic day of our lives was like a breath of fresh air and what kind of bride doesn’t want that :). We can’t forget to thank our second shooter, Antwonette, who was also amazing to work with and anyone who works with Winterlyn, we knew we could trust completely!

After our wedding, we received our sneak peek gallery so fast and we were very thankful to have seen them right before our honeymoon. The moment we opened our gallery, both of our jaws dropped at how beautiful the pictures were. I wasn’t sure how much more we could be impressed with Winterlyn’s work and she proved us wrong! Through Winterlyn, I learned that pictures can be taken in a way that when you look at it, you can remember exactly what you felt in that moment. When I look at our gallery, I see a story being told where every picture has meaning behind it and it showcases what an artist Winterlyn is.

I can say with full confidence that she will always go above and beyond for her clients not only because she is your photographer, but also because she truly cares about you and bringing you joy through her work. We cannot thank Winterlyn and her team enough. It was absolutely the best decision we made during wedding planning.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
