Randy at Crane's Photography is so creative and visionary and takes beautiful photos. We are so pleased with our wedding photos. He really knows his lighting, etc. and picked great spots for our outdoor photos. The two of us had beautiful first look photos by a lake, photos by an archway at the church, and had sunset photos at the reception - all of the solo couple shots are just priceless! He also took pictures of us hitting golf balls in our wedding dress/tuxedo since our reception was at a golf course (country club). He also captured many family portraits for us and we love these as well as our wedding party photos. We also used Crane's Photography's photo booth services during the reception, which was a big hit and the photos were so fun. The service was high-tech yet straightforward and the background looked great. Thank you for everything, Crane's Photography!

I cannot express my gratitude enough for our amazing wedding photographer, Madi! From start to finish, she made our special day feel so graceful and effortless. Leading up to the wedding, I was a bundle of nerves, but Madi’s calming presence instantly put me, my wedding party, and our families at ease. She felt more like a friend tagging along than just a photographer, seamlessly blending into the celebration. Her warmth, friendliness, professionalism, and incredible organization truly shone through. The humor she brought added to the incredible vibe of the day, making everything feel relaxed and joyful. Now, let’s talk about the photos—wow! Each image is breathtaking and perfectly captures the essence of our day. Madi has an incredible talent for finding the most beautiful moments, from candid laughter to the most heartfelt glances. Every shot tells a story, preserving the joy and love we felt throughout the day. The colors are vibrant, the emotions are palpable, and the details are captured beautifully. I genuinely can’t thank Madi enough for the stunning memories she created for us. I wish for everyone to have a Madi by their side on their wedding day! If you’re looking for a photographer who not only delivers stunning images but also enhances the overall experience, look no further. Madi is simply the best, and we are so grateful to have had her as part of our celebration!

I had my bachelorette party do a pinup shoot at VaVoom after being there years before for my best friend's bachelorette. The pictures are the best souvenir of the party. Everyone had so much fun dressing up, trying new outfits, and exploring the sets.  Heather was fantastic with being a hype woman, giving first-timers guidance on poses, and creating a special atmosphere.  We got to look through everyone's pictures at the end, which was a great way to wrap the party. Afterward, everyone was raving about what a great experience it had been. I would highly recommend VaVoom for a unique and memorable bachelorette.

In addition to beautifully capturing our wedding — both candidly and in formally posed shots — the best part of working with Ivy is her calm presence. She put everyone in the wedding party at ease while confidently directing the shoot. She is so professional and fun at the same time. Also easy to communicate with and works to understand the vibe/setting/atmosphere to capture your vision for your shoot!

byDesign Films was a fantastic choice for our engagement and wedding pictures! From initial booking to receiving our final pictures we had an awesome customer support team who would quickly answer our questions. There was also a photo timeline tool to help us build out what photos were important to us, and the timing of photography throughout our wedding day. This photo timeline ultimately ended up being our wedding day timeline, so that was awesome! Would definitely recommend!

Tara is great at her job and makes everyone feel so confident. She truly captured the moment and we love all of our photos!

The photographer and videographer were absolutely amazing. Anna was very dedicated to getting as many shots as possible, making sure that we were happy with everything! She was amazing! Jem our videographer was also just as amazing! Crazy attention to small details. I can’t tell you how many times he fixed my ring prior to a picture to make sure everything was perfect! They were an amazing pair and I cannot be more happy with the service they provided us!

Christina was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was organized, extremely professional, and so easygoing, which made the entire day feel relaxed. She was great with kids and somehow managed to always be in the right place at the right time without ever feeling intrusive. We loved her style and the mix of digital and film photography. The photos feel timeless and truly capture the emotion of the day. Christina was incredibly accommodating and thoughtful throughout the process, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience or the final photos. Highly recommend.

After seeing some of Jay and Larissa's work online, they became our number one choice right away. We were amazed at the way they incorporate the scenery into their photography and the sweeping, dramatic quality they are so good at creating, and we felt so lucky when they became available for our wedding date. Their style fit our aesthetic perfectly and we really could find anybody else that had that unique look we were after, and we sure tried after they were initially booked on our date. After working with them for our mini covid wedding and later our big wedding ceremony, we could not have been happier with their work. Not only were the photos every bit as amazing as we had imagined, but Larissa and Jay were a pleasure to work with and extremely professional throughout our entire wedding process. Keep in mind they are a bit more expensive than other photographers, but after looking at so many other options, we have no doubt that stretching our budget a little more than we planned was the right decision, they are SO worth it! They graciously worked with us when it came to rebooking for our second ceremony due to covid and were a fun and steady presence during our entire wedding day(s). Looking back at the photos we are amazed at some of the shots they were able to capture. We still don't know how they got some of those angles, we had no idea they were right there during the ceremony/vows and yet they got some incredible close-up shots in addition to the sweeping landscapes that initially drew us to their work. These two are amazing and we cannot recommend them enough, secure them now before they are booked!
