From the moment we booked Dj Harrington Photography, their communication was on point. They made me feel completely worry-free leading up to the wedding. On the day, both photographers were amazing to have by our side - not only did they capture phenomenal shots, but they also reminded us to take a moment and enjoy ourselves. They felt like best friends following us around, and it didn't feel like we had just hired a couple for the day. Their passion, kindness, and talent were evident in every photo. I truly believe Dj Harrington Photography found their calling, and I am so grateful they were a part of our special day. They exceeded all of my expectations and I can't recommend them enough.

Dylan exceeded our expectations from the second we booked him! Communication was so easy, I texted him a lot with random questions and he was always able to answer them and respond quickly. He took every crazy idea I had for photos and ran with them. He was willing to drive out to Kansas City for our engagement shoot which was a huge plus for us! Him and Becca did so much on our wedding night, I could never thank them enough. If I had a million more weddings, I'd book Dylan every time.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

We worked with Katie for our wedding and we could not recommend her enough. We were unsure about incorporating a coordinator in our budget and I’m so glad we did. My partner and I both said it was the best decision we made. Katie was always timely and reliable with communication. During our planning calls, she brought up things that I never would have thought of which helped our day run smoothly. She always had patience with my many questions. She helped us personalize our day to be representative of us as a couple, highlighting what was important to us. She helped with communication and follow up with vendors which alleviated some of the stress and “to do” items leading up to the wedding. Katie was incredibly helpful with running our rehearsal, ensuring that our family and friends knew what to do and had their questions answered as well. Our day ran so smoothly and I’m sure there was much Katie helped with behind the scenes that made that happen. She helped with set up and take down of decorations, always made sure we had a drink if we wanted one, and was the go-to person for everyone’s questions which took a lot of stress of off me and allowed us to enjoy our day.

Working with Where We Wandered was truly unforgettable. From start to finish, Ron went above and beyond to ensure every moment was captured perfectly. His professionalism, creativity, and deep knowledge of photography were evident throughout the entire process. The final photos are absolutely flawless — each one tells a story and feels alive with emotion and detail. Ron made us feel comfortable, guided us effortlessly, and delivered far more than we ever expected. The entire experience was seamless, enjoyable, and deeply personal. I cannot recommend Where We Wandered enough. If you’re looking for a photographer who genuinely cares and delivers exceptional results, this is the team to go with!
