    Worth every penny

    As I was going through the wedding process I was very skeptical and frustrated with how expensive every vendor was - I call it the wedding industrial complex. We had originally booked the middle package with 6 hours w/ lead photographer and 4 hour videographer. Upon speaking with True photographer's timeline coordinator, we realized we needed to add 1.5 hours with our lead photographer in order to capture both the getting ready shots and the dancing - so we went up to 7.5 hours total which was more expensive than planned. It was ABSOLUTELY worth it. Our lead photographer, Tatiana, was incredible - she navigated a large wedding party and so many moving parts happening at the same time. She directed me for every shot and made sure to get all of my best angles (I had no idea what to do or how to pose). Every single guest has complimented how beautiful our photos turned out. The pictures were processed in 1.5 weeks which was sooner than we were expecting, and we have thousands to choose from : ) Every shot we wanted was captured, we felt taken care of, prioritized, and that our investment was worth it. True photography's team moved together cohesively, they were structured and commanding - it made the day flow so much smoother. The quality of the photos was beyond expectations and it felt like this was truly the best vendor we could have chosen. I hate to say it but the people are right - you never regret splurging on a GOOD photographer (:

    Amazing Photography, Video, & Service!

    From our first conversation with True Photography & Video, their communication was straightforward and easy to work with. Anita, Taylor, and Kyle showed genuine excitement about capturing our special moments. On our wedding day, the team was warm and inviting to be around, and they made sure to photograph everything we'd requested without us having to remind them. Their attention to detail really shines through in every shot—we were blown away by the quality of the final images. What really impressed us was the quick turnaround; we got our photos back while we were still on our honeymoon! We'd absolutely recommend True Photography & Video to any couple looking for a photographer who listens, delivers, and genuinely cares about their day.

Anita, Taylor, and Kyle will be so happy to hear your kind words! We always strive to create an experience where couples can simply enjoy their day while trusting us to capture all the meaningful moments and details along the way. We’re also so excited you were able to relive your wedding memories while still on your honeymoon ✨ Thank you again for trusting us with such an important day and for taking the time to share your experience.

    Wedding Photos

    True did our wedding photography. They were the preferred vendor via Wedgwood Weddings, and right from the beginning we found them to be professional, communicative, and reliable. They made the process super easy with their detailed website, emails, and follow ups. We appreciated their guidance in helping us figure out our needs, and the timeline they sent for the day of helped everyone feel prepared. Our lead photographer, Parker, was a pleasure to work with and we appreciate how kind he was on our special day. The pictures came out so GORGEOUS! My only struggle is in choosing which ones to display. Thank you True!

    Thank you so much! We are so happy to hear that you had such a great experience with our team from start to finish. Making the process easy and helping couples feel prepared for their wedding day is always our goal, so it means a lot to know that the communication, planning, and timeline were helpful for you. We are so happy to hear how much you enjoyed working with Parker. I will be sure to pass along your kind words to him. He truly loves being part of such special days. And the best problem to have is too many gorgeous photos to choose from! Thank you again for trusting us to capture your wedding day. It was truly an honor to be part of it. 😊

    Excellent photos

    We had an excellent experience working with True Photography. Sarah was our photographer for our wedding day and did an amazing job. She was very professional and kind and helped guide us through photos with ease as we are not very photogenic. We received our photos back quickly and they are stunning! True photography also did my sisters wedding a few years ago and her pictures also came out stunning!

    Hi Melissa! Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you had such a great experience and that Sarah made you feel at ease, comfortable, and y'all got to have some fun together. We’re honored that we were part of your sister’s wedding as well. It means so much that we were able to capture all the love and fun on both of your special days! We’re so glad you love your photos, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. 💛

    The Bride

    True Photography & Video was an outstanding choice for our wedding photography and videography. From the very beginning, their communication was incredibly clear and they stayed on top of any changes or updates to our timeline. On the day of the wedding, the photographers were friendly, professional, and captured all the special moments beautifully. The quality of the photos and video footage was truly outstanding, and they provided a quick turnaround so we could enjoy the memories right away. We are so happy to have had their awesome teams there to capture our special day, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch photography and videography services.

Because we have a team we will almost always have availability. With that said we do book in order of seniority, so for our most experienced photographers, booking earlier is best.
We do offer video services and have and you can see a sample of our work here. https://www.truephotography.com/videos/highlights
We have a VERY fast turnaround. Typically your pictures are ready within a week and a half.
We do! Just let us know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and we can send that over to them. We have 2 million in liability.
Because we have a team, we always have backup and more backup. We have never cancelled or missed a wedding in 23 years of being in business and over 5000 events.
We often have a second shooter present. It is really dependent on what you are looking for in terms of coverage.
