Heather is absolutely amazing. She has the sweetest, bubbly personality so she's a joy to work with. Her photos are perfect if you're looking for light, natural and vibrant pictures. Heather is organized and always a phone call away if you need anything. It rained the day we were supposed to do our engagement pictures and Heather was super accommodating so we were able to shoot them the next day when the weather was good. Highly recommend Heather! She is the BEST! Book her now!!!!! -

Heather is an absolute gem and INCREDIBLY talented. She loves what she does and it shows in her photography. She is super easy to feel comfortable around and attentive. My family was super impressed and couldn’t have imagined having anyone else photograph our wedding! She went out of her way to make my husband & I feel so special and I’ll never be able to stop looking at our photos as they’re so gorgeous!!! Highly highly suggest hiring this amazing person! -

Perfectly captured our wedding!
It is hard to put into words how great Heather is. Not only is she an extremely talented photographer, she is such a wonderful person. Her bubbly, positive energy is contagious! My husband and I knew Heather was the perfect match for us after hearing rave reviews about her from our wedding venue, Shadow Creek, and looking at her beautiful pictures. My husband and I both view ourselves as camera shy people. Getting our pictures taken usually makes us feel uncomfortable, however Heather changed that for us. We first met Heather for our engagement pictures. We knew she would take beautiful pictures, but we were surprised at how fun and easy it would feel! Heather knows all the perfect poses and was able to make my husband and I genuinely feel in the moment! The next day, we already received a sneak peek of the gorgeous pictures she had taken. After this experience, we literally couldn’t wait until our wedding day because we knew Heather would make it fun and would take gorgeous pictures of our day. Even though we knew this, Heather still blew us away. She captured our day PERFECTLY. Looking through our pictures makes everyone emotional because it feels as though we are reliving the day. I am so grateful that we chose Heather as our wedding photographer because not only did we have such a comfortable, fun experience taking pictures, we have stunning pictures to look back on years from now that will make us feel like we are right back at our wedding day. We can’t wait until the next time we get to work with Heather again. If you want a photographer who makes you feel at home, takes stunning pictures, and will even dance with you and your guests at your wedding, hire heather. I promise you will not be disappointed! -

From the second I had my first call with Heather I knew I HAD to hire her. She is not only an amazing and talented photographer but just an all around great girl to spend your wedding day with! Your photographer is there with you ALL day on wedding day so you definitely want to hire someone you want to be around and Heather is your girl. It poured rain all day on my wedding day which was obviously a huge bummer and Heather was such an amazing support system and was so reassuring that we would get all the shots rain or shine. We did our engagement photos with her last year and they came out amazing and we have gotten some sneak peeks of our wedding photos (literally 24 hours after our wedding) and CAN’T WAIT to see the rest. Heather is so incredibly talented and 100% the girl you want by your side on your big day. She will be your biggest hype girl and make you feel and look incredible in your photos. HIRE HER. -

Heather was the best possible addition to our vendor team, and she added so much joy to our big day!! Right from the first phone call, I knew we would be a great fit and that she would capture everything that was important to us at the wedding. Heather is so organized and helpful, and she was willing to work with us on every aspect of our engagement and wedding photos to get us the perfect experience. Our photos turned out more amazing than we could have dreamed, and we feel like we gained a friend in the process! Couldn’t recommend Heather highly enough and so thankful to have found her. -

The BEST Photographer around. BOOK HER NOW!!!
There are truly no words to explain how AMAZING Heather is! Heather photographed our engagement photoshoot in May of 2021 and our wedding in April of 2022. She is an incredibly talented photographer and is the most down to earth, genuine, and fun person. From the very start, Heather took the time to get to know us as a couple and make the photography experience stress-free and enjoyable. She made us feel so comfortable and was flexible with scheduling. She takes absolutely stunning photos and was extremely helpful with ideas for posing, details, etc. She literally brings the party to your wedding and all of your guests will love her! I will truly cherish our photos and our friendship with Heather forever. I cannot recommend her enough! BOOK HER NOW!!!! -

Heather did our engagement shoot and wedding and we are so grateful we found her! She’s not only an insanely talented photographer but a wonderful person who made the entire experience so much fun. She coached us through our engagement sessions and loved on our puppy Luna and went above and beyond to make our vision come to life. On our wedding day she was so much fun but also kept us all relaxed and calm even as things got hectic. We had so many guests comment on how incredible our photos turned out and my bridesmaids all mentioned how wonderful Heather was - she was just another part of our girl gang that morning :) In addition to her photography Heather cares deeply about her couples - when our dog was hurt a few months after the wedding we got a surprise Barkbox in the mail from Heather - which just goes to show that with Heather you not only get a photographer but a friend. If you want bright beautiful photography Heather is your gal - we look back at our photos and are still amazed at how perfectly she captured our day. Thank you Heather for everything - we only wish we could do it all again with you. -

Lauren W. Sent on 06/21/2021Best person we could have chosen!
Heather is AMAZING. If you're like me and you read 100 reviews before deciding to choose a vendor, just go ahead and book her already! From day 1 Heather seemed like a best friend that we knew for years. She really takes the time to get to know you as a person and as a couple. Our engagement and wedding photos were so perfect. I've always disliked the way I look in most photos but out of the 1,000+ photos we got back, I love literally all of them!! This girl works magic and is the sweetest human being ever. I'm pretty sure she was a golden retriever in her past life. You will not regret booking this gal and your wedding photos will be incredible, to the point where I still gush over them daily -

Ashley Sent on 01/15/2015Heather is the best, that's all there is too it. She's not only an amazing photographer but an amazing person. She brings this refreshing vibe to ever meeting and session. Her work speaks for itself, there's nothing I can say to correctly describe how perfect her photos are. She is willing to go the extra mile in any and every situation. I will never, ever use anyone other than Heather for any pictures I ever need taken. I highly recommend her for anything you need a photographer for. -

My husband and I chose Heather after being in a friends wedding she photographed years before our wedding. She was fun, friendly, professional and really good at her job, so we knew we wanted her (not to mention one of our favorite pictures ever is from that wedding we first met her!)
Our wedding had many Covid challenges like date change, location change, etc and Heather was positive, accommodating and compassionate to the situation.
On our actual wedding day she worked with us and our guests to make everything go as smoothly as possible. She was so pleasant to be around and really helped us loosen up and have even more fun at our own wedding.
We got the highlights of our photos about a week later and I could not be happier with these memories we will have forever. She knew exactly how to capture the pure joy we felt and she brought it out in us despite all the craziness of a wedding day.
I could go on and on about her professional style of photos and her demeanor on wedding day, so I’ll just say - I cannot recommend Heather and her assistant photographer Lauren enough. You will not be disappointed! -

Amanda Sent on 09/09/2020Choose Heather! You'll Gain a Friend :)
We talked to a number of photographers whose photos were great, but we just didn't have a connection with them. When we got on the phone with Heather for the first time, we knew she was our girl. We also chose her because she had shot at our venue before, and she did. not. disappoint! Heather is the most optimistic and bubbly person, with an eye and passion for all things detail not just during photos but through the whole process. She is incredibly thoughtful and through the pandemic she checked in with us to just ask how we were doing - that personal touch really validated our decision. Included in Heather's package is an engagement shoot, which was great because we got to meet with her and get to know her before our actual wedding day, which made the wedding day so much less stressful. We opted for Heather +1 - her second shooter and assistant were so great and brought a similar energy which was helpful. All of those things wrapped into one meant our day was enjoyable and photos were fun and natural (which, let's be honest, getting formal photos taken is a bit daunting if you haven't had it done a ton of times). My family also LOVED her and her team, which means the world to me. We love Heather and cannot wait to have her do family photos for us one day. Book Heather, you will not be disappointed!! -

Yes just yes! Book her now!
Where do I even begin this review about Heather?!?! This girl knows how to work a camera!! Heather is truly one of a kind! She has such positive energy, is upbeat, kind and her confidence really puts you at ease whether it’s during the planning process or the day of. She is very responsive to any and ALL questions. Heather is so sweet and takes the time to get to know you, your vision, and your expectations before even meeting! I remember we chatted so much before our initial engagement session that when we finally met in person, we literally ran to each other from our cars and gave each other the BIGGEST HUG! It felt like we were longtime friends that just hadn’t seen each other in awhile. My husband and I were initially anxious because we had never had professional photos before and were worried it would be awkward figuring out poses. Heather made us both feel so comfortable and helped pose us so we wouldn’t have to think of poses on our own. She listened to our vision and made it a reality with the most DREAMY photos. She went above and beyond during our engagement session and timed everything just perfectly. We were able to take photos in a grassy area then literally went and hiked a mountain to take more photos, timing it just right for sunset since my vision was both grassy and mountains. Flash forward to wedding day, Heather was very confident, organized, and thorough. She made sure we had the pictures we wanted with family following the ceremony by sticking to the list that I gave her ahead of time. She was able to get the family photos completed in such a timely manner and I remember her turning to me and saying, “the family portraits are the most stressful and if I don’t look stressed, I don’t want you to either.” This was such a breath of fresh air because having a big family can be hard to corral them all but she did it with no issues! Heather provided such a quick turn around time for photos and I will cherish them forever. Although pricey, if applicable, I do highly recommended paying for the extra hour so can capture the end of the night. Some of my favorite photos are the ones that occurred at the end of the night to include my sparkler send off. I would be so sad if she was not there to capture those moments. I could literally go on and on about Heather and her amazing photography skills but I know I need to wrap this us. SOOO look no further, seriously, go run and BOOK HER NOW! -

Hiring Heather as our photographer was the best decision we made! She was extremely responsive during the whole process even though she is jammed packed. She made us feel so comfortable taking photos and we felt at complete ease despite how hectic a wedding day was. She truly is amazing at her craft and has the best personality to boot! I’m so grateful to hear for capturing our wedding day so beautifully, booking her is the best and easiest decision you can make! -

Oh my god, where to even start. Heather is next level incredible. She's easy to talk to, she's creative, she's personable, and goodness is she TALENTED. Seriously our wedding photos look straight out of Southern Living.
From the get-go she was easy to talk to and plan photo sessions with. She is realistic about timelines and is great at explaining why some timelines might work better depending on your event. She genuinely tries to get to know you throughout the whole process to gauge what you want and need out of your wedding photos.
There was a moment during the reception when I was talking to my mom and the wedding coordinator, and Heather came over to check in on me to make sure everything was going well. She was actively involved in wanting to make sure she was helping or making things easier for me on the day-of.
I can't say enough about how wonderful she is. She made wedding planning easier and our wedding photos are seriously incredible. I honestly feel like I'm coming out of our wedding with not only a husband, but also a new friend in Heather. -

the PERFECT photographer!
If you want your wedding day to be perfect and you want to capture every minute of it, you should hire heather. Heather made my wedding day go so so smoothly. She kept my wedding party on time all day & made us feel so comfortable. She has the sweetest soul and bends over backwards for her clients. Picking heather to photograph my wedding was easily the best decision I made regarding wedding vendors. I adore her! -

The best photographer ever.
Yall... I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing this woman is! A few years ago, Heather did a friend's bridals and when I saw them I said, well whenever I get married she is definitely photographing our wedding... flash forward about 2 years and WE BOOKED OUR DREAM PHOTOGRAPHER. I knew the work would be amazing, but I didn't know I was going to find such a great friend! Heather made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera every time. We also were amazed at the short amount of time it took to get all of our galleries! We had our full gallery of wedding photos about 3 WEEKS AFTER. If there is one thing you invest in for your wedding, it needs to be Heather because these are the treasures you'll have to share with generations to come (and decorate your home with!). I wish we could get married everyday so that Heather could photograph us, and so that we could hang out everyday ;). Your search for your photographer is done once you've found this gem! -

Amazzzzzing
Heather is AMAZING! Seriously - my husband and I have never met anyone like her. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera with each session. She was so easy to work with, even though she has a busy schedule! Heather is so kind and makes your experience so unique. From our bridal gift box, personalized meetings, and big hugs/squeals/smiles on your wedding day, she truly makes you feel like you are the only bride in the world. We got our photos back SO quick - and we even got sneak peeks THE NIGHT OF our engagement session and the day after our wedding!!! We started with a photographer, ended with a friend ❤️ we love you Heather!! -

Rebecca Sent on 06/29/2019Amazing Photographer. Amazing Person.
Heather is amazing, inside and out. She's incredibly talented and the nicest, most genuine person. (Seriously Heather, I want to drive down to your neck of the woods and have a beer with you.)
Heather had the greatest eye for shots for both our engagement photos and wedding. I've gotten so many compliments on our sneak peeks alone and she somehow managed to capture the sheer joy we experienced on our day. It's hard to describe but you can feel the love coming from our photos. Her second shooter, TJ was also fantastic and did a great job wrangling 7 crazy groomsmen armed with an axe and fireworks.
Heather was completely flexible through the whole process and during the reception really seemed to magically appear out of nowhere to capture our most important moments. She truly captured everything we hoped for and more. We love you, Heather! -

Amazing!!!!!!
Heather Chipps
Where to start with this beautiful human? After months, and thousands of photographers and wedding photos, another photographer had referred me to heather for our wedding. From the jump heather was attentive, quick to respond, knowledgeable, and above all her personality and soul radiated sunshine and joy. Because my husband and I lived so far from her, she suggested a video chat initially to talk face to face about wedding details and get to know her, prior to committing. After hanging up, we immediately knew she was the one for us. For our engagement session we wanted to stick with a beach theme, we spoke to heather and asked about Virginia Beach because we loved it there and thought the location would be closer for her(only to find out she drove almost 3 hrs to take our engagement pictures... that my friends is commitment).She loved the idea suggested a few locations in Virginia Beach (that were insanely beautiful) that she had shot at before. When we got to the session, I was a nervous wreck about our pictures and what they would look like. While I was OBSESSED with her work, I had seen other couples around me (with other photographers) who ended up hating their photos and that made me a little uneasy. We were also nervous we wouldn’t be “photogenic” and would look awkward. From the time heather stepped out of her car, she greeted and treated us like we were old friends. As we walked to the sight to start shooting, we talked and I expressed how nervous I was and she explained everything, and addressed my concerns. After the first few minutes of “test shots”, (and I say “test shots” because that were remarkable)she could tell I was still anxious and told me to come over and she turned the camera around and showed me a few shots, they were so beautiful and immediately was relieved. The remainder of the shoot, was a breeze.. it was so much FUN.. how many people can honestly say that?? Her and my husband could not stop joking around, they were vibing on a whole new level. We spent the entire shoot laughing hysterically. She offered her advice and humor throughout the shoot, and even showed us a few of her tricks. She was open to all of the ideas I had seen on Pinterest and offered her experience/advice , which I LOVED. We got a sneak peak the next day, I literally was running around screaming they were so beautiful. The remainder of our photos were back a few days later, they were UNBELIEVABLE.. next came the wedding, she was super helpful with the timeline and offering her advice and experience, while addressing our concerns. On the wedding day, she showed up her bright shining self. I can honestly say I think I was more excited to see her than anything..oops!! She did her thing in the beginning, worked with all of my girls and mother to make sure everyone got the pictures they wanted, etc. When we arrived at the venue, I was devastated when I walked in and saw the the floral pieces were nothing like I asked for (bright whites, and blush pink.. instead they were cream/light yellow and peach, with hardly any pink and a bunch of greenery that I specifically asked not to have) Heather immediately told me not to worry she could edit the pictures and make them more of what I was expecting. Heather, my wedding coordinator, and brother in law, removed some of the greenery, cut pink hydrangeas off of the bushes out side, and put them in all the centerpieces and the arch for the ceremony. They fixed the florals, without me even asking.. When I tell you this woman is a SAINT, I mean she is a SAINT. I truly don’t know what I would have done without her, as a bride walking in to your venue and seeing that things are not as you imagined is crushing. This woman went above and beyond, to fix this situation and make me happy. Not only the flowers, but her presence is calming, and as a bride you need that. Throughout the reception heather, could be found on the dance floor with her camera and foam glow stick (the life of the party). Throughout the wedding everyone kept coming up, and saying how much they loved our photographer and even still to this day rave about her. We got our sneak peak photos the next day, and as expected they were unreal.. the beauty and moments that she captured are breathtaking. Heather, truly has a gift to capture the beauty of a couple and really anything thats set in front of her. She loves her job, and you can see that in her work and how she works. I cannot say enough about her work and her as a person. She is truly a beautiful person, and the best person to have in your corner. Heather is the ray of light in the darkness of wedding planning! We cannot thank her enough, for walking into our lives and being a fundamental part of our life changing day. -
