    Great experience, beautiful photos

    We were panicking last minute because we still hadn't decided on a day-of photographer for our wedding. We went with Dear Hart because they seemed like an extremely good value and we liked their work, but weren't sure exactly what to expect. The results were phenomenal. I personally don't think I'm very photogenic but I loved every photo these amazing & professional photographers took. They knew exactly what they were doing, helped me and my husband with poses, and came up with unique ideas using our environment (botanical gardens) to capture stunning photos. Simply beautiful photos that me and my husband will treasure.

    A Wonderful Team

    Working with Darin and his team was such a pleasure. He did an amazing job on our engagement photos, and he made the experience very fun. We can’t wait to see our wedding photos, I’m sure they will be just as great!

    I highly recommend Dear Hart. Our pictures turned out great and the photographers are very easy to work with. Not to mention the price is unbeatable. Darin also gives you the rights to all your photos and a second photographer for the day was only $100.

    What can I say-I have worked with both Darin (owner) and Rob and both guys are great. They are flexible with the payments. Rob was our photographer and he showed up early and was able to capture all the shots we were wanting. He was very patient and very nice and professional. Darin can also do some cool things with photos like coloring on the flowers and leaving everything else black and white..Overall these guys are great and I highly recommend them!

    I can't say enough about how great Darin was on our wedding day. I've only see a few pictures, and they are amazing! Darin did whatever necessary to make sure we captured our special day. He immediately sent a few preview photos to me so that I could post them on Facebook to share with my family and friends. Incredible price, amazing service, and breath-taking photos. Thank you for everything!

    paid $750 for photos never taken

    I booked Darin for our wedding in May 2017. I paid $750, $250 being a non-refundable deposit. In April, we unfortunately had to cancel our wedding, as my husband received military orders and would not be able to come home. I immediately called Darin, and he told me he would send me the $500. I have reached out to Darin multiple time since, via text, message, or flat out calling. He always said he forgot, and would send it. I have since moved three times, each time giving Darin my new address to send a check. It has now been nearly TWO YEARS! I have come to the conclusion that I will never be paid back for the photos that were never taken. I hope others read this warning and steer clear of Dear Hart Photography.
