Alysha Sent on 11/18/2024Thank you for everything, Katie and Ryan!
Working with Compass Studios was one of the best wedding-planning decisions we made, and we would recommend them to anyone. Katie was flexible, responsive, and very easy to work with every step of the way. She also went above and beyond to accommodate our sparkler exit without us having to add on additional time, which she did not have to do but we really appreciated. On the wedding day, hanging out with Katie and Ryan felt like spending time with our friends, which is such an important part of choosing a photographer. And last but certainly not least, our photos and video turned out STUNNING, and we got them in record time. If we could do it all over again, we would choose Compass every time. -

Elizabeth Sent on 12/19/2024A dream wedding with Compass Studios!
Katie and Ryan photographed my wedding on 11/16/24 and they were amazing to work with. They were very communicative, professional, and made everyone feel wonderful while taking the photos. From the moment we reached out and through the wedding planning phase, they were attentive, made sure we asked the right questions, and it definitely paid off with our beautiful photos and videos! -

Bryton Sent on 11/18/2024THE best photographers… you won’t be disappointed!
Katie and Ryan were amazing in all aspects! From the initial conversation with Katie, I knew we were going to choose Compass Studious; her laid back demeanor (and portfolio, of course) is what initially drew me in but I didn’t know how much I would need it on the day of our wedding. No one tells you what to expect from the time of getting ready to the start of ceremony—it’s chill and you feel you have enough time, and then all of a sudden 2 hours before the ceremony, it’s chaos. I was so overwhelmed by the hustle of it all but they had the PERFECT balance between not being overbearing and also getting everything done.
Their work speaks for itself but their expertise behind the lens is unmatched—it didn’t feel like we took a long time getting the photos taken, yet they all came back so beautiful; quick and easy which allowed us to be back to celebrate with our guests. During our first call, I had a vision of having a champagne spray exit and asked Katie if that was something they had ever done before or was open to it. She excitedly agreed and the pictures turned out AMAZING! They worked so well with our videographers too. A true dream team.
If you are in the midst of wedding planning, you NEED Compass Studios on your team of vendors. I promise you will NOT regret it! I look forward to working with Katie and Ryan for other milestones in our life. -

Katie and her team truly surpassed our expectations for our wedding photos and videos! She and the team were very flexible to your needs and definitely over-delivered on quality. -

Eugenie Sent on 10/08/2024Couldn’t be happier with Compass Studios!
We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work of Compass Studios and their team, who captured our wedding in May. From the moment we booked with Katie and Ryan, their professionalism and attention to detail made us feel confident we were in the best hands. The associates who photographed and filmed our day were beyond amazing, seamlessly blending into the event while catching every special moment. The photos are absolutely stunning, and the video left us speechless—it truly feels like reliving our perfect day all over again. -

Highly recommend
My husband and I had Katie & Ryan at Compass Studios as our wedding photographer and videographer and are so happy we did! We absolutely love our photos and video! They were so communicative and easy to work with before, during, and after the wedding. It was great having the photo/video team because they worked so well together. Photography was the most important vendor to me and I am so happy we chose Compass Studios! Highly recommend! -

Jennifer Sent on 07/21/2024A great wedding photography team
We had a great experience working with the Compass Studios Team for our wedding. They offered the right combination of style, quality, and cost for our event, and Katie & Ryan (the owners) were very communicative and organized throughout the process. We had their associates Julie & Jay do the actual shooting of the wedding, and we were very pleased with their work. We were especially grateful to Julie for her patience with a slightly chaotic family photo session - she was very flexible and kind throughout! -

Highly recommended!
I only have great things to say about the services we got from Compass Studios. The coordination and organization leading up to the event was clear and easy, and they were very accessible with any questions I had. We got the Associate & Rose Gold photo/video package with Emily as our photographer, and due to a substitution we were lucky enough to get Ryan as our videographer. I had been nervous about photo/video being too conspicuous and people being self conscious but this team is invisible!! The shots are beautiful and we all felt comfortable to be our natural candid selves during the day.
I was also stunned by how fast they turned around the pictures- I got my sneak peek the very next day, and the entire library five weeks later! Now after the wedding, my husband and I are glad we got the video too so we can relive the best day of our lives. -

Hannah Sent on 03/10/2024Beautiful Work and a ton of fun!
We found Compass Studios on our venue's preferred vendor’s list and we are so glad that we did. We reached out to Compass Studios and decided to go with the silver package and were assigned to Andrew. Andrew was so much fun to work with! He has a great sense of humor and made us immediately feel at ease. We truly enjoyed spending our wedding day with him. We received our video and raw wedding footage a few weeks later. Our video was beautiful and the raw footage was so much fun to watch. We will cherish this video forever. -

We worked with Katie & Ryan for our wedding and had such an amazing experience that we’ve booked them twice again for maternity and newborn pictures! Highly recommend them to all couples looking for a wedding photographer and beyond! -

Catrina Sent on 01/20/2024Best money spent ❤️
Ryan and Katie are a husband wife duo for photography and videography. A few months before the wedding we decided to capture the day with a videographer. While chatting with Katie we were lucky enough to find out that Ryan was available to film our wedding day. He was very easy to work with and very much out of the way throughout everything. He had great attention to detail of his footage and ensured that all the important things were captured. It has been amazing to look back on the footage he provided. These memories are truly priceless and I can’t imagine my wedding day without them. Whether videography or photography I definitely recommend investing with them. -

Catalina Sent on 12/06/2023Perfect Videographer
Working with Compass Studios was a highlight in our wedding planning experience. They were extremely professional, great with communication, and just lovely to work with. Ryan was our videographer the day of our wedding and he had such a great energy about him, was efficient, and flexible. We're not big "picture people" but we felt so comfortable and at ease thanks to his guidance and enthusiasm. The final highlight video perfectly captured so many of our favorite moments from the day. A big reason why I chose Compass Studios was because I could book a package that included raw footage from the day, which I found was not the norm. This has already come in handy, allowing us to share our first dance video with my sister-in-law who was taking care of her son and missed the live version! I highly recommend Compass Studios! -

Corryn Sent on 11/27/2023Couldn't have asked for a better team
Katie and Ryan captured our wedding day perfectly. They were responsive to every email and question and gave us recommendations for other vendors (some of which we ended up using and were thrilled with!). They made me and my husband (who both can be pretty awkward in pictures), feel so comfortable behind the camera. They had our sneak peek pictures back to us the day after our wedding and sent the rest of our pictures to us a few weeks before we were expecting! They captured all of the amazing candid moments of our wedding, which was exactly what we wanted. They also did an incredible job working with the natural light outside and finding the perfect spots for all of the more "staged" photos. I could not recommend them more! -

Amazing Videography!
We’re so happy that we hired Compass Studios!! It’s so fun and emotional to re-live all of the special moments (including those we didn’t even notice or remember in the craziness of the day!) and to see our loved ones enjoying the day. We will truly cherish the footage forever.
Andrew was our day-of videographer. He was a calm, professional and positive presence. He made everyone feel comfortable, and worked very well with our photographer. He managed to capture all of the important moments, like the first kiss and personal vows (the audio was super clear despite breezy weather), and also the little moments like my grandpa seeing me in my dress and our little niece dancing with her dad. The quality of their work and service is excellent! -

Epic Pictures & Videos!
Hiring our wedding photographer and videographer was one of the most important decisions about our event and we treated it as such. Having our wedding away from our home country without all our family we knew we had to preserve the memories of the day so everyone could enjoy it with us, even if they couldn’t come celebrate with us on the day-of.
We took a good amount of time to learn and speak with many providers, reviewed their contracts (this was essential to us!), learned their style and visualized them at our wedding. Wedding photography/ videography is an investment and we had to make sure we’re investing where our visions align and with a company who would capture our personalities and reflect our love for each other.
Simply put, COMPASS STUDIOS IS THE BEST! We booked Compass Studios for their ultimate Photo Video Package which included a photographer for 8-hrs, a second photographer for 4-hrs and a videographer for 8-hrs. They are extremely professional and a great team which we believe is one of their biggest strengths, besides having a great eye and creative ideas. Katie and Ryan make you feel like you are family and they are seamlessly there recording the occasion, making sure no detail is left, taking every opportunity for a great shot or footage.
We first met Katie for our engagement session a few months before the wedding, and it was a pretty spontaneous idea as we thought we didn’t want it at first since we’re camera shy. It ended up being a great decision because first, it was really fun – Katie was open to meet us for an early sunrise session – and second, we also got practice for the wedding, finding out what poses we liked and what we had to hone on.
Our wedding was crushed by a tropical storm and despite the rain, Katie, Ryan and their associate photographer were all great sports, ready to go in the rain and to still give us the dreamy views of the vineyard. When the weather didn’t permit for a certain shot setup we originally planned for, they offered us other ideas and made sure we utilized our winery venue and its surroundings to the fullest. We have some unique pictures that others with sunny weddings don’t get and thanks to Compass Studios we wouldn’t want things differently. Now when we have our photos and videos – and they are out of this world! – we feel honored a tropical storm rained good luck to our marriage and that Compass Studios helped us realize it and appreciate the uniqueness of the day (because before your wedding happens, who wants or counts on a rainy day).
Now when we had our engagement session and our wedding captured by Compass Studios, we can’t wait to continue our beautiful journey and look forward to the next session we schedule with them. We have the most amazing experience. -

Krista Sent on 09/27/2023Everyone Loves Our Video
We used compass studios for our wedding video. Erin was super nice, and put up with me being a pain in the butt and changing my mind a dozen times, but I’m 100% satisfied with my video. It makes me happy every time I watch it.
Erin was professional and worked really well with my photographers so that they didn’t get in each others way while capturing all the best shots of the day.
My favorite part is being able to show my grandmother who couldn’t be at the wedding our video so she could feel like she was part of the whole experience. It was such a special day for us and I’m so glad our video captures all of those memories. -

Daniela Sent on 07/30/2023The Dynamic Duo!
Katie and Ryan were recommended by our venue and we loved working with them as our photographers! Katie shot our engagement session and helped us feel very comfortable. Our pictures turned out great and we used them in our invitations, our website, and on our wedding tables.
Katie and Ryan both shot our wedding day and captured so many beautiful moments. Our pictures really captured the happiness, love, and fun our families felt and we will truly cherish these memories forever. Thank you to both for making our wedding day such a wonderful event!
