“Our top priorities in finding a wedding photographer were 1) a portfolio featuring queer couples and 2) a colorful and candid style that performs across different lighting conditions and indoor/outdoor settings. Wraven Designs absolutely delivered. Chatting with Adriane on the phone for our consult, we got the sense that she is an experienced wedding photographer who can remain relatively unruffled under all kinds of circumstances — and this turned out to be very true. Adriane and Lexi, her second shooter, put us at ease and made us laugh throughout the photo shoots of our day. They were great sports about getting wet in the rain to capture our big family group shots, and about being pulled off the dance floor to capture random sets of friends, college & travel buddies, etc.
Crucially, they brought along several different styles of umbrellas, which we didn’t even think about until the day before our wedding when rain was forecast. They really made the best of the overcast skies! When we had to switch the ceremony to the rain plan without a lot of advance planning and my wife & I were busy getting ready, Adriane was able to give advice to our DOC and officiant on the ceremony area layout for the best photo setup. Adriane was also very flexible about coverage — she let us purchase a custom package between two of her other offerings, and was down to shift the start/end times of photo coverage a few weeks before the wedding. She and Lexi were very independent throughout the day, roaming the grounds and capturing all kinds of great details without needing direction, and they made sure to let us know about last calls for photos before they departed for the night.
We are so thrilled with the memories that Adriane & Lexi captured for us on our wedding day with friends and family. We have romantic pre-ceremony portraits, gorgeous family photos, emotional shots of the ceremony, and fire shots from the dance floor — all delivered on an adorably packaged custom USB. Thank you SO much!”
