I am having the hardest time choosing just one for our Christmas card because they're all so good. She always makes our sessions feel easy and fun, even with kids in the mix, and takes such care to find the perfect lighting and spots. Beyond her incredible talent, she's just the kindest, most genuine person. You can tell she truly cares about the families she photographs. We're so grateful for her and can't wait for her to keep capturing our family for many more years to come.

Vanessa was patient with our young girls, enthusiastic and helped make sure they were comfortable while she was taking their pictures.

I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Whether it was Mal helping my wife while she was getting ready, or Alex helping close the tent walls during the reception and so much more. And none of that was their responsibility, but it certainly made a huge difference! We had so many people tell us just how awesome they were! When it comes to photography, Alex and Mal are hands down the best of the best. During engagement photos, they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and had the most creative ideas for what would make the best photos. The same goes for our wedding photos and video. All three of them were very punctual and organized on our wedding day. At times, I felt they were doing more to keep everything on schedule than our wedding planner. Just like the engagement photos, the wedding photos blew us away with how amazing they turned out. Alex and Mal will always be our go to photographers for any future family events or needs! If you are able to splurge a little, definitely have Alex partner with Jorge for the videography. You will not be disappointed, and every dollar will be worth it! The video was amazing and we watched it over and over again the first week of getting it. Thank you all so much for an amazing experience.

Ken is great at budgeting his time. After a wedding planning session, Ken created a customized…read moretimeline with our daughter & new son-in-law. He used his pre-wedding time to go back & forth between the Bride's and Groom's Rooms for photos. As the Mother of the Bride, Ken and I had a telephone conversation and he told me exactly what he needed ready to photograph as soon as he arrived on the wedding day. Having those items prepared helped him to stay on schedule and get all the pre-wedding pictures taken so that we started the wedding on time. Ken was very accommodating with special requests from both of the Mothers, because we wanted photos taken of our extended family groups. Ken had a prepared list of the extra photos that we wanted, and he methodically went down the list. The great thing was that we never felt rushed by Ken at any point during the entire day. Ken has a calm and friendly demeanor and it showed!! HIRE HIM... he'll do a great job for your wedding or special event too!

I unhesitatingly recommend Ken Thomas Photography! Ken's professionalism before, during, and after…read moreour May 2022 wedding has been exceptional. His attention to detail has been superb, and his talent is evident in our finished products. I'm thrilled with our photos, and I'm so thankful that I found such an accomplished professional for our special day. Way back in 2019, Ken met with me in person at his studio to discuss our expectations and to give me more information about his work. He impressed me as a delightful and extremely professional gentleman, and I liked him immediately. He also, during one of our visits, devised a detailed timeline for the events of our special day. That timeline proved invaluable in calming me on our wedding day and in keeping the festivities on schedule. All was nicely on track with all our wedding businesses, but due to the pandemic, we rescheduled our 2020 wedding. Ken was more than understanding and accommodating as I tried to come up with alternative dates. He was always a pleasure to speak with and even checked in with me from time to time to make sure we were still on schedule. On the day of the wedding, he arrived at our location in Marion County, South Carolina over an hour before the start time on our timeline, just to scope out the private home where our wedding was being held and to get an idea of photo locations. He was friendly and kind with everyone, both during photo sessions and at other times. He was fast and efficient in taking pictures, and his experience as a photographer showed as he quickly arranged us and our families in various great poses. My groom and I are both 60 years old, and he not only tried to make us feel more comfortable in posing - something that could have tried the patience of other folks - but also treated us just as he would a good-looking couple in their 20's. He made us feel special and was completely patient with his elderly bride and groom and our even-older guests. In addition to the posed photographs, he took great candid shots as well as many lovely photos of our outdoor ceremony. Since we didn't have a videographer, it was especially meaningful to me that I have photos of our vows and our walk down the aisle together. I received so many compliments from guests and family members, even before they saw the finished photos. Those in attendance noted that Ken was always available and busy taking photos throughout the evening and that he was unfailingly friendly. And then when they saw the nearly 500 photos - wow! I'm a technophobe, but Ken very patiently helped me with the online viewing of our pictures. He even emailed us a sneak-peek of around a hundred pictures less than a week after our wedding. The prints of all sizes are beautiful (despite the elderly subject matter!), and the lighting and color are perfect in each photo. When my two sons someday marry their girlfriends, I'd love to have Ken as the photographer. Even after all my wordy review, I can't think of a higher compliment than that!

My fiancé…read moreand I usually feel pretty awkward in front of the camera, but he made the entire shoot feel so natural and relaxed. He gave us just the right amount of direction while still letting us be ourselves, and somehow captured moments that truly feel like "us." David was also incredibly flexible and creative--we wanted to take some of our photos out on a boat, and he made it happen seamlessly. Plus, he used a drone to capture some amazing scenic shots of the lake that took the photos to another level. The final pictures turned out even better than we could have imagined--beautiful, authentic, and something we'll treasure forever. We can't recommend David enough!

I'll be there first to tell you that I am not the planning type, so this was right up my alley. A quick phone call, some emails and a shared Pinterest board and were in business. All we had to do was get the marriage license and decide where we would go for dinner afterwards. Charity and Megan are phenomenal! They're so sweet, professional, responsive, and have more resources than you could ask for. They are so accommodating, and even send reminders to keep you on track. I couldn't have wished for a better team to handle my wedding!! The first time I actually met Charity was as I was walking into the hall to get married and it felt like we were old friends. All of the details were perfect. The decorations, my bouquet, and boutonnières were absolutely stunning!! The ceremony was warm and intimate and our family and friends have still been talking about it a month later. We received our pictures today and I am blown away!! Charity and her team caught the essence of our love and brought me to tears. She captured the love and joy and I am so thankful we will have these printed memories forever! Thank you so much Charity and The Elopement Co. you made our PERFECT day!!

Charity is a A-W-E-S-O-M-E! Contacted her last minute so to say for a shoot and she was nothing but…read moreflexible setting things up. She makes "awkward" photoshoots fun and comfortable. For those who feel shy or uncomfortable in-front of the camera - like me, I like to be behind it rather. Her spunky attitude and up-beat personality makes you forget there is even a camera involved. She delivers what she promised. Photos are ready 30-days after the shoot and the quality of her pictures are nothing but consistent. Charity's skills and talent speak for themselves. Her visual signature is consistent and that is what I was looking for, as an Architect my eye is very critical on details like that and having a uniform portfolio directly relate values and quality of their product. She also offers cakes and bouquet services as part of their packages - nothing like a non-stop shop. We have not booked her for those, but if you follow the elopement company on Instagram, you won't be disappointed by what she can provide. Every detail is tailored to what you want it to be. Look no further for photography! The Elopement Co. is the spot to go.

Four our engagement session she had great ideas for where and how to shoot our photos. Heather is so full of energy and an amazing person to be around, she made the engagement session so much fun. There aren't enough words to express how amazing her and her son Braeden were on our wedding day. On our wedding day, Heather sat down with me to schedule out the day and wanted to make sure she got any photos I specifically wanted. Heather also coordinated with our DJ and they worked so well together. Heather really makes the bride feel like she has her back and is there for her, but also making sure things run as smooth as possible. Heather's son Braeden was our second photographer and he is such a wonderful and talented young man. He didn't hesitate to get photos and video of the ceremony and reception. Heather and Braeden felt like family on our wedding day even though they were there to capture it. Both engagement and wedding photos came out amazing and we could not be happier with our experiences and photos. We highly recommend Heather and Braeden for any and every event you want to capture. We will be using Heather and Braeden to photograph all of our life moments.

Maggie was a superstar on our wedding day! We both have huge families and so our wedding was a…read morelarge affair with lots of personalities and moving parts. We really wanted a photographer who could help with the flow of the day, rather than be another part in the craziness. Maggie did just this - she got our pictures with our large family quickly and easily, all while making sure everyone had a good time, wasn't waiting around, and felt like a model. We also fell in love with her photos as soon as we saw them on Instagram, and we knew we had to have her travel to us. Sometimes paying for wedding photographers to travel can be expensive and confusing, but Maggie is so trustworthy that we had zero doubts about the value she could bring to our day. Finally, the results she produced were amazing. She delivered so many pictures, beyond what we were expecting, and they were all so beautiful. Getting married/planning during covid proved difficult for finding a venue, so our wedding was at a family church and we were concerned about it photographing well. Maggie made our church look as classy as any wedding venue, and with enough variety that we really do have all of the pictures we could want. We are so happy that we had her as a part of our day, and would recommend her to anyone.
