Michael Sent on 04/25/2026Beautiful film photography
We don't think anyone could have captured the emotion and atmosphere of our wedding (and our engagement) better than Harper did. She is so talented with an amazing eye for framing and capturing moments. Her film photography has an authentic quality and retro-yet-contemporary feel that makes our wedding photos feel truly timeless. Throughout the busy and somewhat stressful day, she was such a lovely and calming presence along with her team. We still cannot believe how amazing our photos turned out. We love each photo Harper delivered and highly recommend her! -

Joe S. Sent on 12/10/2022Harper is the best choice for a wedding photographer!
We hired Harper as our wedding photographer and it was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process. She was so easy to work with and really understood what we were looking for. Her photos truly captured the essence of the day. She captured so many intimate moments despite everything that was happening that day. Harper also was able to take some shots on film that added a really artistic touch. We can’t recommend Harper enough! -

Harper is an absolute gem to work with and made our wedding day that much more special. From posed portraits to natural candid photos, Harper captured our wedding the exact way we want to remember it. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a photographer for any event. -

Julia Sent on 09/08/2022Harper is GREAT!
We absolutely loved working with Harper for our engagement and wedding photography. As two people who generally feel uncomfortable getting their pictures taken, we felt super at ease with her! Our engagement photos were so beautiful that all our friends and family were excited that Harper would be back to shoot the wedding. During the first look, couple, and family photos, she made great use of the location and had lots of suggestions for us and our family. And then during the wedding, Harper was so kind, helpful, and mindful of us the whole time. When we received our sneak peek album, we couldn’t believe how many different shots she got of moments during the event- she was everywhere all the time, getting different angles of us and our guests during our ceremony, first dance, and conversations with friends and family all throughout the evening. Harper has a knack for being where the action is; she got so many spontaneous moments, as well as the reactions from our guests. We loved her authentic and natural aesthetic as well as attention to all the little details. We had a great experience working with Harper through the planning process, too: she was organized and thoughtful and really understood our vibe and vision for the day. We can’t recommend her enough! -

The. Absolute. Best.
I had a wonderful experience with Harper! She was professional, helpful, creative, reliable, and friendly. She met with us before our wedding to discuss our wants and needs and ensure that no big decisions were left for the day of (although we did throw a few curveballs at her during the wedding which she fielded like a pro). She even scoped out the venue beforehand to find the best spot with the best light for that time of day. We wanted a more candid style (rather than staged) and she got tons of different angles without us even noticing where she was! It was a total delight to get the photos back. Her images were beautiful and her editing felt minimal and authentic and completely reflected the mood of our event—she captured the emotions and the pageantry without any of the saccharine details you often see in this type of work. I don't know if that's her aesthetic or if she's just a really good listener, but either way, I'd recommend her to anyone. I'm so grateful for her help and talent! -

Addison Sent on 05/19/2022The best photographer I could have asked for!
We are so grateful and impressed with how Harper captured our wedding. She was thoughtful about every single shot, making sure in the chaos that we took the right photos and was a sweet and subtle presence. I can almost feel the experience of our wedding when I look at her photos, which I look at all the time. I can't imagine a better person to have been there to witness and help us keep that night alive for posterity. Thank you Harper!! -

“harper is a photographer that truly understands her subjects. she photographed our wedding with her unbelievable ease and thoughtfulness. It is such a incredible thing to be tasked with capturing something that is so charged with emotion in a way that feels true to the specialness of that day. Harper did exactly that somehow capturing moments as they really where, in a way that felt authentic and precise. her candids and posed shots all felt true to our style as a couple and we where so touched by and in awe of the images she created. I visit those images often and think about how truly thankful we are to have had her there to photograph what was one of the best days of our lives” -

We hired Harper because we loved her documentary style. We didn’t want staged poses — we wanted someone who could anticipate real moments. Some of her photos are beautiful. But overall, the experience was a disappointment.
We provided a written list of our most important people. We talked through priorities multiple times. We trusted that, even without doing formal portraits, she would track those relationships throughout the day. She didn’t.
There are no solo photos of me with my mom or dad. None of my husband with his dad, and only one with his mom. We have a couple group shots taken in one setting, and that’s it. These aren’t “extra” shots — they were spelled out in writing ahead of time.
There was zero guidance when we needed it. I told Harper that my friends had never been bridesmaids and we would need direction during getting-ready photos. Instead, she was visibly short with us, and one of my bridesmaids (who is a photographer) had to step in to direct while Harper just watched.
Basic details were missed.
The biggest one: my husband wore sunglasses during our first look and Harper said nothing. I couldn’t even see his face in the moment that mattered most. A professional should never let that slide.
Documentary style should still involve awareness. It should mean noticing when something is missing and fixing it. Without direction and without a second shooter, a lot of important moments simply never happened.
After the wedding, I asked about missing shots. Harper suddenly produced a handful of additional images — and they were some of the best ones. Which makes me wonder what else was withheld.
A year later, I reached out one last time, clearly and respectfully. No response.
Here’s the bottom line:
If you care about specific people being photographed, even if you put it in writing, this approach isn’t enough. If you need any direction at all, you won’t get it. If you think documentary style means “she’ll just catch the important stuff,” she won’t.
Some of my favorite photos from my wedding day came from guests’ phones. That says everything.
I’m grateful for the images we do have — but I regret trusting that “documentary” would mean present, proactive, and attentive. It didn’t. She’ll capture gorgeous little gems of the evening— but that only matters if the other moments are captured, too. If you’re considering hiring Harper, decide how much risk you’re willing to take.
