In addition to taking gorgeous photos, Kevin was a dream to work with - very personable, professional, organized, and thoughtful. He walked us through the entire process, provided insight into details we had no idea we needed to be thinking about, and made great artistic recommendations. I would hands down recommend Kevin to anyone and will be using Blue Iris Arts for all of my photography needs!

Nile was hands down the best videographer we could have asked for. From the beginning, he made an…read moreauthentic effort to get to know my husband and I as a couple and as individuals. He is extremely organized and met with us multiple times to ensure he knew everything needed to support us on our wedding day. When the day came around, his calm demeanor was very soothing and helped us stay in the moment. He went above and beyond in every possible way and even stayed past his contracted time because we were running behind schedule and he knew we'd want footage of our first dances, which was so kind of him to do. The turnaround for our highlight reel was only a few days and was absolutely mesmerizing. The way he captured the magic of the day was truly phenomenal and beyond anything we had hoped for, and we were so happy to have an artifact delivered so soon after the wedding. We even requested additional video packages because we were so impressed with his work and how he told the story of our day! This says a lot because originally we were on the fence about hiring a videographer at all. Above all, it was really important to us that our vendors be LGBTQ-friendly, especially our photographer and videographer who would be working with our wedding party, and Nile was so inclusive and great at working with every single one of our loved ones. If you are looking for a someone you can trust to capture your day beautifully, look no further.

Gretchen is a bright gem in the dizzying world of choosing wedding vendors. We have nothing but…read moreaccolades for this genius! My husband and I didn't want stiff posed photos for our wedding, and we admittedly have a very particular aesthetic that we thought would be hard to match. We scored big time finding Gretchen--a wildly talented photographer, warm, fun, and hilarious person, and an always calming presence during what has the potential to feel like an overwhelming event. She did our engagement and wedding photos, and both times she managed to turn our initially awkward and stiff reactions to the camera into an unbelievably gorgeous set of photos, capturing all the little authentic moments between our more awkward or contrived poses. She has a knack for capturing landscapes, finding the best backdrops for romantic photos that don't feel forced. She was always warmly willing to humor us in our bizarre requests, like photographing us with our microscope. She has a way of making you forget that you're being photographed and instead it feels like you're hanging out with a fun friend. Her photos speak for themselves. We could not be happier with how they turned out, and we are endlessly grateful that we'll be able to remember the special day with Gretchen's art. Photos are a very special way to capture a once in a lifetime experience, and Gretchen is definitely the person you want on your team. We found her pricing so much more reasonable than many other photographers, and the quality of her photos much more I be like with what we were looking for. Gretchen places brilliant emphasis on the importance of kindness throughout her process. In an industry that can quickly feel material and cut throat, she brings such a refreshing and genuine perspective to the wedding world, focusing on the importance of love (while also giving plenty of space for her clients to embrace some inner diva ). We can't recommend Gretchen enough and we are entirely grateful we had the chance to work with her. Now we're looking for more excuses to photograph events and work with her again!

We chose Gretchen as our photographer after interviewing about 7 other options. We were really…read moredrawn to her style, but after talking to her, fell in love with her story and warmth. She constantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She perfectly captured our ceremony and reception - our reactions, the guests', and of course the dance party! We've been looking back on these photos for months now and simply adore how well she captured everyone's emotions

He listens to your requests and adds his suggestions where he feels they would benefit capturing the moment. Both photo shoots were fun, relaxing and he works with teens and kids with a style that has them at ease and having fun. Adrian delivered our pictures within a few days of the shoot And we received all of the pictures. Some of the lighting may not have been on point, but with a few minor adjustments ta da you have a great print. Some of the senior pix that he took that I thought were a little off with the sun ended up being our favorites. It takes someone who's willing to capture a moment at the risk of lighting issues or nature issues. A dog came into our shoot and those were the fun prints. He captured my son's natural personality and I loved it. I highly recommend using Adrian Tamblin Photography for your next shoot. You won't be disappointed. On top of it, he is very reasonable for the top notch quality.

She is a great planner, and asked for key things like a family photo shot list and names to streamline the family photo process, to be extra prepared for the day.

Tammy also uses online tools that make viewing and sharing pictures really easy - something we didn't think about, but that we're grateful for. Overall, Tammy was awesome - highly recommended!

Photos were a top priority for my spouse and I, and once we found Tammy's website her style spoke to both of us. We felt lucky she was available and only a bit above our price range (worth the splurge!!). She was very responsive and it was easy to select a package that was the best fit. She is such an energetic, happy human being - neither of us are very used to having our photo taken and she knows what to say to help you relax and enjoy the moment. Her focus is documentary-style and letting the day unfold, and we appreciated that posing was kept to a minimum (but she was helpful in providing ideas when we needed them). We were also happy we decided to do an engagement session so we could meet in person before the big day, and now we have such lovely photos to enjoy for years to come.

Nirav's talent is unmatched and he will always make you look and feel great during the photo shoot and entire event. Thank you, Nirav, you are one of a kind!

Summary of my rather long post: Find an excuse to work with Nirav. Seriously. You will not be…read moredisappointed. If you want the longer version, keep reading... :) So, just over a year and a half ago, my (now) husband and I got engaged and I knew right away that photography would be one of the most important elements of our wedding. Almost as soon as we got engaged, I began the hunt for the perfect photographer and we luckily stumbled across Nirav's work. We were immediately enamored with it, how he is able to capture and perfect seemingly peaceful moments framed and executed in a way only a practiced fine art photographer can. We loved his ability to fall into the background and capture sweet and candid moments of his subjects. So mere weeks after we were engaged, we booked Nirav, and my husband and I are SO glad we did. A few months before our wedding, we met Nirav for our engagement shoot and he immediately put us at ease - we had never had photos taken of us before so it took a little getting used to. By the end of the session, Nirav genuinely seemed like a friend we had known for far longer than a couple hours. Not to mention the pictures came out amazingly - they not only make us look good, but they also beautifully captured the scenery around us. Fast forward to the day of our wedding. Nirav was patient, diligent, and knew exactly what he was doing. As you can imagine, weddings can be hectic and Nirav and the second shooter he brought with him that day (Amari) kept things running smoothly and did not add to the fray. When we received our photos from the wedding, they were AMAZING. Truly, truly amazing. I literally teared up as I saw them for the first time. He was able to naturally and organically capture genuine moments between me and my husband, and of our families and guests. While we had several amazing vendors on the day of our wedding, Nirav was perhaps the best. We hope we can find another occasion to work with him in the future!
