    We could not have asked for a better photography team (A+++)

    We could not have asked for a better photography team. Laura and Justin are wonderful couple and great team. They did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos, capturing every moment in high quality / resolution images. They have always responded back to us in timely fashion, always been kind and polite in person and over the phone.

    We are very thankful to have hired them and strongly recommend them for your future events. Laura and Justin, it was pleasure meeting you both. We wish you both the best in your future endeavors.

    Many thanks,

    Bayats

    Stunning photos!

    Laura and Justin are truly the best team to work with! Our photos turned about absolutely stunning and we really could not have been happier. They were able to capture the love and fun that everyone had that day. AND...acted as our emcee when our DJ failed to show up. They truly saved the day! If you're looking for an affordable, professional, and highly talented photographer....definitely book Cotton State Photography!

    Magical!!!

    Photographers Laura & Justin made our wedding Magical for us. It was small and intimate, on horses, at a lake. My husband and I had our wedding ceremony 50 days ago today and my husband still mentions how amazing it was every day. I have found him multiple times standing in front of a canvas I had made from one of the many gorgeous photos of our wedding by Cotton State's Photgraphers Laura & Jusin. We will be forever grateful to you both. We will call on your services again ... maybe renewing our vows?
    😀❤

    Absolutely Amazing!

    I found Laura and Justin by chance on facebook after I had to cancel the original photographer I picked for our wedding. It was only a few months before the wedding so I was extremely stressed trying to find a replacement. I have to say it was fate I found Cotton State! Although it was an extremely stressful situation, I am so glad it ultimately led me to booking them for our wedding. Laura was always very responsive to any emails or questions before and after the wedding. Both during and after the wedding I received so many compliments from all the guest on how sweet both Laura and Justin were. Not only did they do an amazing job, they were so sweet and kind! I really had no idea what pictures I did/didn't want and they were excellent guides in getting all the shots. I am absolutely in love with all of the photos they captured of our day! They are stunning. You will not go wrong in booking them for your big day or really any other special moments you want to capture!

    Fantastic!

    My daughter and son-in-law used Cotton State for their engagement photos and their wedding photos. Could not be more pleased! Laura and Justin are talented, professional and just fun to work with! I highly recommend them for all your photographic needs. We will be using them over and over again for to record the special moments in life!!

    If you want the most magical experience pick Laura!!

    Laura and her husband Justin are truly amazing at what they do. Not only were they affordable, but they were also so fun to be around. They fit in with my family and made such beautiful happy photos. As a plus-size bride, I was nervous about being photographed but Cotton State blew me away and I love all of my photos!! Even though I'm open-mouth laughing in like 75% of them. Trust me, go with Laura! you won't regret it!

    So Nice and Professional

    My now husband and I had previously booked an all inclusive wedding venue but made a last minute decision to switch venues and had to hunt for a new photographer. Luckily, and VERY thankfully, Cotton State had availability on our big day. I was incredibly pleased with their prices and services. They were so kind, polite, professional, and just all around great people to work with. The pictures they captured of our big day are perfect. I've already got in mind that I'll be using them for future family pictures and more!

    100% Would Recommend to Everyone!!

    I got married on November 21st, 2020. Laura and her husband were absolutely amazing and so patient! We did most of our wedding ourselves and Laura and her husband worked so well with me every step of the way on our big day! After our wedding, I had so many people tell me how great they were. 100% would recommend them to everyone!

    Perfection to the MAX!

    Wow! Laura and her husband were AMAZING to work this. Seriously they were early and helped capture so many intimate, beautiful moments from our big day. We were blessed enough to have won a discounted package from a giveaway and it was the best decision ever. If you are a bride that loves detail shots or getting ready photos, then Cotton State Photography is the PERFECT photographer for you! Would recommend to any bride wanting a fun photographer who really listens to their ideas but also knows when to take the reigns.

    A Joy to work with!

    Laura and her husband were an absolute joy to work with. She sent me a timeline the week before the wedding which made everything so so smoothly since we knew what we were doing and when. Laura was so professional, kind, and patient especially when we ran into a couple hiccups like not being able to get all the bridesmaids together in one place! I was sent the sneak peek photos the very next day and they were simply breathtaking. She captured the moments so beautifully! 10/10 would definitely recommend!

    Cotton State Photography was Wonderful!!

    I would recommend Cotton State Photography for anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Laura and her husband did a great job and were very friendly to work with. She was very responsive and flexible when I had to postpone my wedding (thanks Covid!)

    Good people, Responsive

    Due to covid-19 our venue cancelled on us 3 weeks before the wedding. Even though we last minute found a new venue and it ended up being in Albertville instead of Wetumpka, Laura and Justin were very accomadating and stuck with us. They were fun to hang out with and the response time was phenomenal. They even offered to help find a new venue. Of course most importantly, the pictures came out beautifully! Im beyond happy with their service and how chill they are.

    Cotton State Photography's reply:

    Thank you Megan! We loved being a part of your big day. You and your families were so welcoming and we just felt right at home. I'm so glad you love your pictures! Congratulations Mr & Mrs Mize and we wish you a lifetime of happiness together!!!

    Amazing people with an amazing gift

    I have worked with Cotton State Photography a few times over the past year. They photographed our wedding, as well as an engagement and a graduation shoot for us. Each time I am even more impressed with their work. Laura and Justin have such sweet and laid back personalities; they are an absolute joy to work with, and have a divinely appointed gift for capturing and preserving those most precious fleeting moments in time. I was so grateful for them on wedding day as they helped to make sure everything flowed smoothly. Our special day would not have been the same without them. They were also very accommodating and understanding when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19. I HIGHLY recommend them.

    The best!

    They are seriously the best. Would definitely recommend Cotton State Photography for any event. They are easy going. They made all of my wedding dreams come true (even if it was pouring down rain). Yes, they stood in the rain during my wedding and yes they got soaked but they made the best of it and ROCKED it. So very thankful for them!

    Laura and her husband are a dream to work with. She gave me ideas and worked with my ideas as well. She’s so kind and knows how to get the best shot. I definitely want to work with her again in the future.
