    We LOVE The Lees!!!

    The Lees photography was the very first wedding vendor I booked - and in fact, I found them before we were even engaged! I stumbled upon their instagram and fell in love with their work. I knew they had to be our photographers! They did both our engagement and wedding photos and we could not be happier with how they turned out. The best part - Tatyana and Steven are wonderful humans and they make a fantastic pair of photographers! We instantly felt comfortable with them as soon as we met, and they were sure to take our every wish into account. Thank you for perfectly capturing the best day of our lives, Tatyana and Steven!

    Tatyana and Steven are the most wonderful wedding photographers! From my first phone call with Tatyana, they have been an absolute dream to work with. They were flexible enough to travel to New Jersey for our wedding after shooting our beautiful engagement portraits in Austin, my hometown. While this was already the perfect scenario for us, the magic they made with our wedding photos is unbelievable. We have received a huge number of compliments on the photos! The vibrancy of the colors, the emotions they captured, the thoroughness of every detail--all perfect and amazing. Additionally, they are both so kind, warm, professional and accommodating. I sent different versions of the day of schedule back and forth to Tatyana about 15 times and she could not have been more chill about that. PLUS, I asked her about three weeks before the wedding day if she would be available to also shoot our rehearsal dinner and she was so accommodating in spite of the late notice--and now we have beautiful memories from that night, too! This is a tiny thing, but they wore perfectly wedding appropriate outfits which I never would've noticed except for seeing a photographer at a friend's wedding recently sticking out like a sore thumb. Tatyana and Steven, thank you for giving us flawless memories of our special day and for being two people we were thrilled to have spend the day with us.

    The Lee's were probably our favorite vendor we booked for our wedding! They were fantastic from the moment we reached out. Tatayana was super quick to answer emails and questions that sometimes didn't even involve photography. My husband and I were so nervous before our engagement shoot but they put us at ease immediately, feeling like old friends. We wanted our dogs in some of the photos and they even came prepared with treats! Then, when my videographer canceled, they were quick to make suggestions on who to reach out to and even sent some emails themselves to help us out. We couldn't have been happier with our wedding photos, too! It was cold out but somehow they were able to make it seem so warm out and they captured our relationship perfectly! It also helped that Tatayana was constantly trying to calm me down from being the stress ball I always am. Can't wait to book them for anniversary shoots in the future (or even family shoots if they choose to expand that direction!! *hint* *hint*)

    Steven and Tatyana were wonderful to work with! We felt really comfortable with them during our engagement session and were so happy to have them for our wedding day. Our engagement photos and wedding photos both turned out beautifully! We ended up with sooo many pictures that captured every moment. They were also very responsive to all of our questions and gave us feedback on our wedding timeline. They had us put together a list of family photos that we wanted before the wedding and they were so good at organizing and gathering people to take the photos efficiently. Overall, so happy we chose them and so happy with all of our pictures! We would highly recommend!

    Simply the best!

    Lees Photography was by far our favorite vendor for our wedding (and we loved all of our vendors!). From the first email to our wedding photo album getting delivered in the most beautiful condition, I was blown away by their professionalism and eagerness to ensure we loved our photos. Tatyana and Steven are quick to communicate, which is so important when you are planning your wedding. They also made my hubby and I feel at ease during our wedding and engagement photo shoot. We were always laughing with them and they honestly felt like part of our family. Our photos were breathtaking- they have the ability to capture the perfect moment with the most beautiful and angelic lighting and I cried when I saw our wedding photos because of how sweet and beautiful they were. The Lees Photography also comes with two photographers which you 100% need to ensure the entire day is captured for the bride and groom. They were the most professional vendors we worked with and I honestly felt like all they cared about was making sure my husband and I were happy and comfortable the entire time. We cannot say THANK YOU enough to Tatyana and Steven for all they did for us and for giving us beautiful photos that we will share with our family for generations. Do not think anout hiring another photographer for your big day- I honestly believe you cannot get any better than the Lees Photography!! Love, the Traylors

    We loved working with The Lees Photography for our engagement photos in Austin, TX! Throughout the wedding planning process, my biggest struggle has been dealing with unresponsive vendors. I was so pleasantly surprised when Tatyana responded to my inquiry (and all follow-up e-mails) very promptly and with sincere enthusiasm. It just makes you feel good to think someone else is excited about your engagement, even though they shoot couples all the time. Our session was delayed due to Hurricane Harvey, and Tatyana & Steven were so flexible and accommodating in rescheduling quickly so we could get Save The Dates printed. They were both so fun and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera - and the photos are beautiful! I'd highly recommend to my own friends & family.

    Choosing The lees was the best decision ever! They went to Colorado to shoot our engagement and braved the cold for our big day! what else could you ask for? I am seriously sad knowing we wont talk to them as much anymore. I absolutely recommend the Lees. Their prices are also very reasonable and the quality is great!

    Y’all! What an amazing husband and wife duo! We could not be more thankful for such a cool and talented couple to shoot our engagement and wedding pictures! Let’s just say that for our engagement photo session they woke up at 3AM to drive from Austin to Houston for a sunrise lighting!! It’s been a month since we said I do and we just received our entire wedding gallery about a week ago and we can’t stop tearing up with how amazing the photos are. If you want a cool, fun, EXTREMELY talented and creative couple to shoot your special day, THEY. ARE. IT!!

    The Lees were absolutely fantastic! They were so incredibly friendly and down to earth. They put us at ease on the day of the wedding. The photos were absolutely perfect and everything we had hoped for! They were able to capture us naturally, and everyone looked great from the the wedding party to all the guests. They also turned around the photos so quickly. All of our friends and families were impressed by how hardworking the Lees were and how beautiful and natural the photos are. If you care about having great photos, I absolutely recommend the Lees. Their prices are also very reasonable, and the quality is comparable to photographers who charge thousands more.

    I don't even know where to begin, we love the Lees! To say they captured our big day perfectly is an understatement! From the day we shot our engagement pictures, they never felt like strangers, we always felt like we were around good friends. We were always able to tell them exactly what we envisioned and they would make it happen. Anytime we had a question they responded so quickly and were always so eager to help us with anything. I really can't say enough about them! We look forward to working with them again and continuing our friendship!

    The Lees are absolutely amazing! We worked with them for engagement photos, bridal photos and most importantly our big day! We could not be more thrilled with the memories we will always have to treasure thanks to their beautiful work. They are so kind and friendly, they truly make you feel as though you are simply working with great friends! Not only are they so easy to get along with but they are also extremely professional! I always got a quick response every time I reached out with questions (and trust me, I had a lot of questions haha). They truly want you to be happy and do everything they can to be flexible to make things work for you! I am a military wife and we had trouble scheduling our engagement session due to my husband’s deployment schedule and they made it work, they never made us feel like we were causing an inconvenience, they made us feel like a priority. Like I said before they are simply awesome people who do amazing work and I could not recommend them enough!

    Choosing The Lees Photography was a pretty easy choice for us, because for starters their photos were so beautiful and the wedding package they offer was one the most reasonable ones out there. On top of that, they consistently respond to emails very quickly, even when the question was not pressing. And when you're planning a wedding (something most people have zero experience doing), there are a lot of questions even when you're trying to keep things simple. In addition to being so generous with their time, they were very accommodating of our schedule; we live in NY and weren't able to make it down to TX for engagement photos, so Tatyana and Steven were willing to swap that part of the wedding package for anniversary photos. We are really appreciative of that! Since we hadn't met them in person to go over things during the engagement session, they wisely insisted that the four of us sit down for coffee a week before the wedding and go over everything and get acquainted so that all of us were on the same page. My husband and I really admire their dedication to professionalism and quality and communication. And on the day of the wedding, everyone was able to see what a great team they make too- how they have it all coordinated who is going to take candids and who is instructing people how to pose in what way during what moment, and when they stay out of the line of sight, and when they take charge of the situation. Everything went very smoothly and our pictures came out really lovely!!

    Our wedding was perfectly captured by our photographers! They arrived early and helped inform us of what needed to be done. Our photos ended up looking like they came out of a wedding advertisement! The photos and service exceeded our expectations. Their work was only rivaled by their kindness and professionalism. They were also super fun and easy to talk to! Our family and friends are still telling us how amazing the photos turned out! Would recommend to anyone in the Austin area!

    Photography was our #1 priority for our wedding, so having the right photographer who fit all our needs was very important. We are so thankful that we found Tatyana and Steven! They are so kind and professional and their photos are beyond gorgeous! We used them for both our engagement and wedding pictures and we could not be happier. They were very responsive to all our emails and questions and were so easy to work with. They made our wedding day comfortable and even surprised us with a preview of some pictures they took earlier in the day during our reception! It was beautiful and the perfect touch!

    Tatyana and Steven really are an amazing team. Choosing them as our photographers for our engagement and wedding photos was the best decision we made. They were so easy to be around and so unbelievably helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process and during the wedding day itself. Communication was consistent, effective and efficient. They were really good with direction and making sure every pose felt and looked natural. Their work truly exceeded our expectations! It was the little details that put this team over the top. For example, at the reception, photos from the wedding ceremony were already on display for our guests to view (which they loved!) We could not believe how quickly we received our photos and love the platform where they are hosted online, which makes them so easy to share. If you want photographers that pay attention to detail, capture authentic, unique and fun photos this is the team for you.

    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much, Tatyana and Steven. You captured every single special moment which we will cherish forever!

    Deciding on a wedding photographer was the most important decision we made during the wedding planning process because we had high hopes for our photographs. We could not have made a better choice! Tatyana and Steven were friendly and went above and beyond on our wedding day. I was impressed by their responsiveness and how accommodating they were. They did a beautiful job capturing our special day!

    The most exciting times in our lives have been captured by these two! The Lees brought every vision to life through our engagement, bridal, and wedding photos. From beginning to end the Lees were flexible, accommodating, and truly added joy of this season of our lives. They capture the most tender & candid moments with ease and were a pleasure to work with. We can't wait to work with these two again to capture life's special moments!

    Tatyana and Steven were everything we wanted and more! They went above and beyond for us - even traveling across the country when we had to change our wedding date and location with very little notice. We didn't stress about photography once! We also had a huge wedding party - 24 people total. They did an amazing job getting everyone together and shooting huge group shots.They truly made posing for photos fun! We couldn't be happier with our choice of photographers! Wouldn't change a thing.

    Tatyana and Steen were the truly best. They were great to work with, and the photos turned out far better than we could have ever hoped. Here are what we thought were some standouts:
    Incredible pictures. They were especially good at getting the shot without ruining the moment. They were discrete but got every picture perfectly: everything from my dad tying my now husband’s tie, to perfectly capturing a hilarious moment when our ring bearer (my nephew) accidentally tossed the rings up in the air.
    Extremely helpful. My husband and I aren’t generally comfortable in front of a camera, but Tatyana and Steven gave us enough direction without making us feel artificially posed.
    Professional and accommodating. They got us our beautifully edited photos weeks before I thought they would and gave us complete confidence in their professionalism. Also, our dog is a big part of our life… so we asked them to include him in some photos. Tatyana and Steven were not only kind enough to oblige, but they were enthusiastic about it. The photos of our pup were, of course, fantastic.
    Finally, they are tech savvy. It was really important to us that they had a good website and hosting platform so we could just put a link on our wedding website for all of our guests to remember the day.
    We would definitely work with The Lees Photography again and recommend them to anyone looking for perfect photographers for any special moment that they want to remember.

    Tatyana & Steven were a dream to work with! We could not be happier! Our engagement pictures really caught our personalities & had a great energy to them. The pictures from our wedding day were wonderful. From getting ready to the cake cutting, both the posed pictures & the candid shots were exactly what we wanted. I couldn't have asked for better. We had our pictures in no time- and we could download them straight to my laptop! We are so happy we hired Tatyana & Steven to shoot our wedding!

    When we first met Tatyana and Steven it was like we had known them forever! They photographed both our engagement session and wedding and we absolutely love them! They captured everything we wanted and more. We are so happy to have had them as a part of our wedding and would absolutely recommend booking them! Their photographs are beautiful and we will always treasure them. They are super sweet and easy to work with! You will not be disappointed! I cannot say enough great things about both of them!

    My fiance Karl and I had a shoot with Birch Tree Photo this weekend, and I cannot say enough about how great these two are. Communication was extremely easy, I would send an email and within the hour get a response. During the shoot my fiance and I were extremely nervous, but Steven and Tatyana put us at ease very quickly and were able to give us some great direction. There ideas were creative, and after seeing my pictures tonight i am blown away with how beautiful they are! Despite our nervousness they were able to capture us in our most natural moments. I could not be happier with my photos, and I will be referring them to everyone I know.

    I can't say enough positive things about Birch Tree Photo. Both photographers were super professional but that's not what impressed me most. I couldn't believe how accommodating and responsive they were to my requests. That really helped alleviate some of the wedding planning stress. The day of the wedding they arrived on time and actually ended up staying past the agreed upon time. The images they took were lovely. I'm so glad that I found them and so thankful for the amazeballs job they did!

    Birch Tree Photo did our wedding on Oct 18th. Our bridal party had 14 adults and 5 kids they handled everyone very well. They made sure to do every photo we wanted and more! Very patient as well with such a loud outspoken crowd. We were so blessed to have found Birch Tree Photo to take photos at our wedding with over 200 guests. Very friendly, helpful and professional with everything. and everyone. When we received our photos they came out better than we could ever imagine!! We will most definitely book family photos soon and recommended to everyone we know.

    Also wanted to add I worked mostly with Steven and he was very good at keeping in contact with me throughout the months prior to the wedding. Keeped me updated on when our photos were ready to view. Steven & Tatyana deserve a 10 star!

    THANK YOU BIRCH TREE PHOTO!

    -Mr. & Mrs. Kobus
