It was super close to where we lived, had the reception area and ceremony area right there was how she convinced me over our 5 minute phone call before I got yelled at by drill sergeants. But man once I saw the place I was hooked. They also made it super easy to decorate by having a lot of things you can use in storage rather than breaking the bank on decorations. Clean up is also super helpful. We had the champagne wall and the greenery wall and it was just an absolute blast, and a dream of a day. Would highly recommend. We WOULD have done an outside wedding which is also gorgeous, but my husband is hot natured. But the inside was just as nice for the ceremony especially with new renovations letting a lot more light in.

Mike (Church St. Photography) is the most charming wedding photographer you could possibly wish to…read morecapture your special day. Our first encounter was our engagement photo shoot. His calm and relaxed demeanor made what could have been a potentially stressful day, a joyful experience full of laughter. From that moment on we knew this was who we wanted to shoot our big day. The first thing that attracted us to working with Mike was the photos in his websites' portfolio. It is immediately apparent that he has a talented eye for capturing natural intimacy in candid photos. We appreciated the lack of artifice that so many other wedding photographers lean on. If you are looking for a similar aesthetic for your wedding day we cannot recommend Mike enough. Mike gets to know you as he photographs you. By the end of our wedding night, it was like we were old friends. He does an amazing job of getting the groom & groomsmen to relax while he takes photos. Speaking only for myself as the groom, I'd never done a photo shoot before. Mike knew exactly how to coach me and the guys so we wouldn't look stiff and awkward in our photos. Mike did not get in the way of our guests during the reception. He blended in so well, we didn't even notice him as he was capturing all of the little moments throughout the night. It wasn't until he sent us our finished photos that we saw just how much he got on film for us to remember forever.

A couple months ago, my then-fiancé Dominic and I decided it was time to tie the knot. It was…read morereally difficult to find a great photographer with a reasonable cost. We even thought to ask amateur photographer friends, but realized it is our wedding and our day only happens once. What if our moments weren't captured? With so many what ifs, we didn't want to take the risk. After all, this was an investment to capture beautiful moments of our special day. My bestie Bev and I looked at different styles of wedding photography. I loved bright, vibrant photos and really didn't like typical dreamy look wedding pictures has these days. With that in mind, my bestie found Mike "Pupfish" Burton on The Knot. After looking over a few more photographers, Dominic and I later went through all our options and pulled the trigger with an inquiry sent to Pupfish. Mike's replies are so quick and detailed. He likes to get to know the couple to see if we're a good fit by setting up a FaceTime or Skype appointment. The stress of wedding planning, crazy work hours and lack of sleep took the best of me. I had a moment an hour before our scheduled appointment, I contacted Mike to reschedule. He was sweet, understanding and flexible and worked with me to find a new time. An hour went by and I felt a lot better, so we kept our original FaceTime appointment. I'm so glad I did. Meeting Mike Burton at Pupfish Wedding Photography through FaceTime was incredible. He spent two hours with Dominic and I chatting, exchanging stories, answering questions. It was honestly like chatting with an old friend. He served in our military as a part of surveillance team which was ironic because both Dominic & I's fathers served in both branches Mike served. We learned so much about each other and he even honored a military discount. After we hung up, Dominic and I knew Mike was "The One". We contacted him within minutes and a contract was signed. We invested in an awesome wedding photographer!!! We also received a free engagement shoot with our wedding photography package. Score! Just like the FaceTime conversation, Mike is sooo easy going and flexible in all our exchanges. He is not pretentious and very professional! We had so much fun at our engagement shoot and our pictures were so beautiful! He knows how to give direction without making us feel awkward and knows how to capture each of us to shine in the moment. By the way, we received our engagement photos in TWO days! Typical turnaround time for photography is a week plus. We were blown away by the speed and quality. The way our photos turned out proves his natural talent. It was of great relief to know our wedding day was in good hands! Our wedding was at the beach at sunset. Mike warned us on the difficulties of capturing beach photos because of the hard, unfiltered light. Our day began with a thick, marine layer fog. I admit I was a bit bummed, but then remembered what Mike said and was happy we would still have beautiful pictures. Half an hour before start time, the wind blew all the fog away and the sun was absolutely radiant. Mike was still able to produce the most beautiful pictures even with the hard sun conditions! We originally didn't schedule Mike to shoot our dinner reception (separate location), but Mike came along and took shots of our guests and our big entrance as Mr & Mrs. He engaged with our friends and family and left quite an impression with everyone he met. He worked so hard and made sure we had shots we wanted and we were soooo appreciative! Dominic's sister's father in law, a videographer, loved Mike so much, he will be sending him his business. Again, this speaks volumes of who Mike is. Our wedding day was one of the best days of my life. I'm so happy Mike was there to celebrate Dominic and I. Once again, he turned our wedding pictures around in less time than promised and the quality speaks for themselves. We have so many favorites, the toughest part is to pick which pics to enlarge. :) I obviously cannot say enough about Mike "Pupfish" Burton. Just send him an inquiry and see for yourself just how of an amazing, talented human being this man is. You won't regret the time or money you've invested.

I love birth photography and after I found out we were expecting again, I knew I wanted to have our story captured by a talented eye! I saw photos she took of a mutual friends family and I knew I needed to contact her in hopes that she was available around our guess date. Lucky us, she was available! Angelina is super sweet and her presence is warm & very calm. She was literally like a fly on the wall. I never felt uncomfortable or even noticed her when she was taking pictures during labor & birth. The photos are absolutely STUNNING! A lot of people told me the photos made them feel like they were there with us. She captured our story through her lens, without any words needing to be behind them. I'm moved to tears every time I look at them because they remind me of what I overcome to birth our beautiful daughter into this world. Thank you so much, Angelina! I am eternally grateful for your talent, huge heart, and what you've given us to remember! To whoever is reading this review, you NEED Angelina to be a part of telling your family's story... I promise!
