Stop looking for photographers and just book The Willinghams aka Drew and Angela. Don't keep…read morelooking. Don't meet with other photographers, just book them. Why, you ask? Where do we begin?
1. You are actually dealing with Drew and Angela. Not their secretary. Not their big gigantic company. You get them for every mundane question you have. They own the company and take pride in themselves. You talk to Drew and Angela whenever you need something. So, on the wedding day, there is no doubt about who is showing up, it's them. It's been them all along. And I don't know what else you could ask for in regards to your photographers.
2. Their professionalism. From the day we reached out they showed us nothing but impeccable professionalism. They were timely in every email response (usually less than 24 hours), on our wedding day, they were early, and literally stayed with us until we were walking out of the venue ourselves, and then, getting our pictures to us. I have heard nightmare stories from my friends about chasing down their photographers, but not Drew & Angela. They had our photos to us in less than a month, and all we can say is WOW. They also worked seamlessly with our videographer. There was never an issue or needing to re-do anything because they are just the kindest and nicest people to work with.
3. Them. My husband and I are awkward. But we knew that Drew and Angela would make us feel comfortable. They spent the day quoting movie lines with us, talking about our beloved pets, and we never felt like we were being forced into awkward poses. We had shared our vision with what we wanted, and they made it come to life and even better than we could have ever asked for.
4. The feedback. Even as the wedding was happening, we had our guests coming up to us complimenting us how amazing they were. People were telling us how they were "everywhere, and yet not there" never making people feel awkward or that they were intruding on a perfect moment. But, they captured them. They captured all of them. I can't even begin express how happy we are with the pictures. They found cute moments,people raging, and even got an entire group of teachers to look in one direction for a table picture, which, up until now, I thought was the impossible task.
We wish we had another major event for them to photograph for us in the near future, but sadly, we can't bring them on our honeymoon to Italy with us. However, we will leave with this: if you are looking for artistic, beautiful and genuine photos, book the Willinghams. They will capture everything and more about your wedding day. From a quick fireball shot with your girls while getting ready, to the laughs you share with your soon to be husband, and every small and intimate moment with your guests in between. You are dealing with wonderful people who truly just want to make you feel amazing on your day, and they will.
They are one of kind and they make you feel that way as well. Don't keep looking. Book the Willinghams. You will not regret it!
