“I cannot emphasize enough how happy I am with the photography services provided by Allyse and her husband Nick. We opted for 2-shooter photography rather than 1 photographer and 1 videographer for our budget, and the chemistry between the two of them made this seamless. When Allyse would focus on the more traditional shots, Nick captured more of the candid/artsy photos and wide-shots of us in the moment with our guests in the background.
They were super friendly, and had a good balance of professionalism and chatty/casual conversation to get to know us and our wedding party. They had a great rapport between the two of them that allowed for us not to get too nervous when posing for pictures, because when they could sense a little bit of nerves, they would crack a joke or make us smile at exactly the right moments. And now that I’ve received our photo album back, I can see that they were able to capture those genuine laughs and smiles beautifully. I didn’t feel like any of our photos were overly staged or stiff because of this too; they created an environment where I felt natural in front of their lenses.
They captured the events of our wedding day from many perspectives, and it’s given me so much joy to browse our photos and see how things looked from the guests’ views and what was going on when we were “busy” being the bride and groom. Allyse also recommended something I hadn’t thought of when we were planning what photos I wanted: a sneak-away moment as soon as our ceremony ended to get pictures of us after we’d just gotten married. The genuine happiness on our faces is so sweet to have captured forever in our photos, and it provided a little buffer period to really take in the events of our ceremony, have a moment to be just us, and mentally prepare to walk into our cocktail hour and start the party of the night!
Our photos are absolutely stunning and I couldn’t be happier with their services. We received 1600 photos back about a month after our wedding day; great volume and turn-around time. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who is in need of wedding or professional photography. I had a hard time even picking "the best" pictures to include in this review as there are so many amazing photos to choose from :)”
