    From the moment we booked Vater Photo, their communication was efficient, professional, and courteous. The quality of their work was truly captivating - they have a creative eye that allowed them to capture all the special moments of our wedding day in a way that is both artistic and satisfying. They provided a level of service that went above and beyond, with meticulous attention to detail that ensured our day went off without a hitch. We highly recommend Vater to any couple looking for wedding photographers who will beautifully preserve memories of their special day.

    Highly recommend! They were incredibly patient and made the whole experience fun, especially for my very camera-shy teen. The photos turned out beautiful and natural, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
