    Amazing and Professional.

    Edward was amazing. The wind decided to act crazy the day of our shoot but Ed never got flustered or tried to rush us to stay on a time limit. He made sure that he got TONS of great shots for us to pick from. He took the time to pay attention to the small details such as hand & foot placement to make sure our photos came out great! I would recommend him in a heartbeat for any kind of photo shoot you want to have.

    Thanks again Edward!

    Better than I could even think to imagine

    Working with Ed was such a pleasant and enjoyable experience each time. We hired him for our engagement photo shoot and then booked him for as our wedding photography. His communication is concise and he is timely. He provides his professional opinion when needed and is so good with guiding each shot. His work is EXPERT level. I mean, I cannot say enough. On our wedding day he had his team to assure he was able to capture every moment. He is personable, fair, and an all around joy to work with. My husband and I can't wait to find another reason to take pictures and hire him.

    Truly an artist

    Ed was absolutely fantastic to work with! Not only is he extremely talented and professional, he is charming sweet and kind. He is also very flexible. We had major timeline changes a bit last minute (rain) and he rolled with it like a champion. We had a few hiccups while getting ready but he didn’t miss a single beat. He made use of every single second while still remaining patient and considerate. His direction was easy to follow and after each session (before transitioning to the next pose/location) he would radiate with enthusiasm (LOVED that). There is no doubt that he takes pride in his work and he is very good at it. He takes traditional shots but also takes artistic liberties when he deems it appropriate. You could tell he loves what he does. If you’re looking for a photographer that can produce beautiful, dynamic, profound and powerful photos, Ed is your man. I am so grateful to have been able to work with him on my special day. His availability goes quick so book early!

    We hired Ed to photograph our wedding as well as engagement pictures. He guided us through posing without it looking “posed” which was great for me as I tend to get awkward in front of the camera.
    Ed is extremely creative and the quality of work that he puts out is outstanding he can seriously photograph a toilet and make it look like it belongs on the cover of a magazine! Both Ed and Megan were complete joys to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting beautiful wedding pictures.

    Not to sound cliché but words can't begin to express just how great Edward and the Team at Second Shots Photography are. I couldn't be more pleased with my Engagement Photos - Edward was very patient with my fiancé and I (this was our first photo shoot) providing us with pose suggestions and visuals to make our shoot "magazine worthy". By the end of the shoot my fiancé was convinced he could stand in for Tyson Beckford. I can't wait to for my Bridal Shoot with Second Shots, I feel so lucky to have found him just surfing the internet one day. Edward and the Second Shots Team have solidified themselves has our families photographer.

    Where to start! Edward and his team were AMAZING. My mother reached out to see if he was available for a weekend shoot and we received a response within an hr. Coming from a customer service base background I was immediately impressed with the responsiveness of our request, this characteristic continued throughout our conversations leading up to the session. I let Ed know up front that Jay and I were not too comfortable with photographs and wanted to keep the session fun and not serious and boy did he make sure that happened! We loved the beach location he picked for us, props used, creativity in each shot, and fun atmosphere he created to help Jay and I loosen up. Ed was extremely flexible as well our shoot was scheduled for 1.5 hours and he stayed with us for three to make sure we got everything in. Meant a lot us! I would highly recommend Ed and his team to anyone looking for amazing photos. We have only seen the previews and already in love with the results! I cannot wait to see the rest. Thank you again Second Shot photography for a great experience and capturing memories that will last Jay and I a lifetime!

    For anyone looking for a creative, out of the box thinking photographer who understands customer service... ED is THE guy. Not only was he responsive and accommodating throughout the entire process, but his photos are gorgeous! Clear, crisp, and unique- each of his photos tells a story. Coming from a customer service hospitality management background with high expectations, he certainly exceeded them. He went above and beyond to ensure our experience and our images were exactly what we wanted for our engagement. I absolutely recommend his services!

    Ed and his team was AMAZING! He was worth every penny I paid for my wedding photography needs. He is creative and artistic with his shots. He made my husband and I feel very comfortable and at ease with the shoots so they came out fabulous and natural at the same time. I've seen his work several times and I can guarantee you won't be disappointed! I'd hire him again in a heartbeat! ... Maybe for family pics next time.

    Overall Ed with Second Shots is AMAZING! He takes the time to really get to know the couple and it shows through his work. Ed is talented and VERY professional. He responds to emails in a timely manner and always is open for a phone call, text, and or email. Ed did both our engagement pictures as well as our wedding day photos. I cannot stop staring at our pictures. He did such a great job not only capturing us, but the guests as well. I have had several people tell me they feel as if they were at the wedding just from looking at the pictures. I strongly suggest Ed as a photographer! If I had to do it all over again there is no doubt about it, I'm going with Second Shots Photography.

    Edward,

    I don't even know where to begin. We are so happy we decided to go with you as our photographer and have felt this way since day 1 when we met you at the hotel. We are even more thankful that you put up with us and dealt with all our crazies ideas and turned them into magic! All of our friends talked and talked about how hard you worked for us and how dedicated you were! After seeing our sneak peek Donn and I were seriously in awe and felt like that shot was beautiful and can't wait until we can see them all.. ?????? the internet went nuts when it was shared and again we fell completely in love. Ed I could never thank you enough for everything you did for us and for making our special day one we can reflect on and get many memories from years from now. I know family sessions aren't what you specialize in but maybe in a wedding off season you will capture our little family!! Again THANK YOU SO MUCH

    I know I have found our new photographer!! Ed Heard is everything we weren't getting from other photographers. His style is impeccable, he's attentive to detail, and his eye for the right shot is miraculous. He is truly one-of-a-kind. He was able to capture my fiancé and I engagement session as we pictured. He also photographed our wedding on October 1, 2016 and we are eager to see the outcome. We will definitely book him again for a Senior/Family session really soon! Way to go Ed.......5 thumbs up!

    Edward took our engagement pictures this last weekend and we had a blast. He was very easy going and helped up relax so that he could capture the perfect moment. We received a sneak preview of our pictures and could not be happier. We can't wait to see the rest in a couple of weeks!!! I highly recommend Edward. His eye for the art of photography is extremely impressive. You will not be disappointed.

    My fiance and I are so lucky to have found Second Shots Photography for our engagement session. I fell in love with Edward's work after just one look at his website, blog, and social media pages. Edward is kind, personable, creative, and talented- a perfect combination to work with. He made us feel relaxed and at ease during the session, which is so important. And I am glad to say he captured the little, candid moments, which seem to be his specialty- it truly made a world of difference in displaying the affection between my fiance and I. His work is absolutely beautiful and I am so pleased with not only the final product but the professional way the whole process was handled.

    Second Shots Photography has been great to work with! We scheduled our engagement pictures at our family ranch and Ed was very flexible in making this happen and willing to travel 1.5 hours. If there was a photo opportunity spot along the way, we pulled over and got the camera out! Thankful the rain held out for us. I would recommend Ed and his company to any bride. He's very professional yet laid back, fun and friendly...he made it a great experience to remember!

    STOP! No seriously, stop! If you are looking for someone that's not going to just take pictures, but bring your pictures to life, look no further. Second Shots Photography is the place! I chose Second Shots Photography for my engagement photo session. With these photos Edward exceeded my expectations, and trust me, I expect and accept nothing but greatness. As soon as I saw my pictures I cried, and as I think about them I cry now. My fiancé and I felt so comfortable with Ed and we were able to be our normal, goofy selves which he captured effortlessly. I feel as if the Lord sent him our way, and for that I am so thankful! I am moving to Dallas, but I will ALWAYS find my way back to Houston to have Ed capture moments in time that I want to remember! Ed, you've got a forever customer, get ready for the ride! :-)

    One of my bridesmaid and I met Edward of Second Shots Photography at a small wedding expo in Houston. We instantly fell in love with his work, but didn't dream that we could afford such a high caliber photographer. Well, not only was Second Shots Photography very affordable for us, they ended up being with us through the whole wedding process from engagement photos to our wedding in Puerto Rico! We could not have asked for a better photographer. Edward is professional, artistic, easy to work with, and very responsive. We highly recommend him.

    Edward was dressed professionally and on time. He was friendly and focused. His communication with us was on point. He brought example pictures of poses he envisioned for us. He also communicated with our wedding coordinator helping the event run smoothly. I would without a doubt have Edward as a photographer again.

    I heard about Edward and his talents through a friend/co-worker of mine who had hired him for her engagement photo session. She loved him and his work so much, she ended up booking him for her wedding this Summer.
    My husband and I have been married just a little over a year, and we did not have the traditional wedding and events leading up to the big day, including engagement pictures. We were a little nervous about taking pictures. We decided we would really like to have nice photos to look back on one day, so we booked an anniversary photo session with Edward.
    We had a great time during the session! He made us laugh, which completely lifted the mood, and made us feel extremely comfortable (especially for my husband who was a little more nervous). We also put in an order to have a "story book" made with our photos inside for us to have and treasure for a long time.
    Edward really has a passion for his camera, and this really radiates throughout the experience, as well as the outcome and product. We had so much fun and loved how the pictures turned out! You won't regret booking Second Shots Photography for your special event :)

    My husband and I used Second Shots Photography for our wedding. We added additional services to our package such as a day after shoot, and we also had him come take pictures at an additional ceremony we had. The photographer gladly accepted the tasks. When we received the final product, we were in awe at the quality of work. We look at our wedding pictures everyday, and are so happy that we decided to go with Second Shots Photography.

    If I could give higher ratings I would. His professionalism is through the roof! But, his prices aren't! With a little bit of experience in photography, I can honestly say his skill and talent are above par. That's hard to find folks, especially at his pricing. On wedding day he was on time, all over the place getting shots of EVERYTHING, yet also helping the flow of the wedding day maddness. If you're getting married in the Houston/Galveston area, I strongly encourage you to at the very least consider his services. Thanks so much Ed, for capturing even our smallest moments!

    Highly Recommended!! Ed did our engagement photos last month and we had a blast. We love our pictures! They came out fantastic. Great quality! Ed made the whole process so much fun. We couldn't have asked for a better person to work with. We will definitely use him again in the future!
