After interviewing a half a dozen photographers for our wedding, we decided to hire Boyd Harris to photograph our wedding in September of 2006. I don't want to ruin the ending of this review but I can't tell you how happy we were with the services Boyd and his team provided.
In our initial meeting, we sat down and discussed what we were looking for in a photographer. He listened and genuinely cared about what we were saying. It was almost immediate that my husband and I had this connection with him. In a sense, it was as if we'd known eachother forever and were lifelong friends. The only concern of ours was that his services come with a heavy price tag so we weren't sure it would be feasible -- but at the end of our hour long discussion, we were confident he was the right man for the job and he would be worth the price.
In addition to our wedding day, we also decided to have him do our engagement photos. And althogh we had complete confidence in him, there was always that underlying doubt of wheter or not he will be able to meet our expectations. This is where the rubber would met the road and it was here where we'd find out if he was as good as he said he was.
When we got our engagement photos, we honestly were blown away. I hate being photographed and I walked away not feeling too confident that we'd be able to chose a picture. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. When we got our proofs, there were so many that we really couldn't part with. It was very difficult to choose one but we finally did and felt 100% sure that we chose the right guy to capture our wedding day.
When it came to our big day, Boyd was like family - like he belonged there. I've been to weddings where they've felt like the hired help and they'd just block your shot but that wasn't the case with Boyd. He was working the crowd and getting shots of our loved ones and honestly, it felt like he was getting to know them. He is not only so much fun to work with, he is so very talented and captures you in the purest and most intimate moments that you'd only hope to be captured on your big day. We were blown away with him and how he mingled with our guests. He's natural and so gifted at what he does. We were more than pleased with his work and would recommend him to ANYONE!
We love Boyd and we feel confident that you would feel the same chemistry with him as we did. He's just one of those people you meet in life that you will "remember". Afterall, your wedding is one of the most important days of your life - wouldn't you want it to be captured by someone that will remember you?
The only thing I would caution is that my husband and I wanted to be the first to view our wedding pictures and then send them to our guests. I was unaware that Boyd gave out cards to guests at the wedding to view the pictures when they were available. I wish he would've asked if it was ok to give them to guests before he did that because it was for us to share and not him. We were able to work it out in the end so we can view them first - but something that I thought was worth mentioning in case you wanted to be the first to view your own wedding pictures.
Overall, we would recommend Boyd in a heartbeat and hope to give him business in the near future to photograph us as our family grows. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. read more
