Leo is a phenomenal photographer (or, shall I say, phamomenal photographer?). Not only is he…read moretalented, but his dedication to his art and clients truly sets him apart. I came across his work on social media years ago. I shared Leo's portfolio with my fiancé (boyfriend at the time), who is also a photography enthusiast, and he was thoroughly impressed. We knew Leo was going to be our wedding photographer. The only thing in our way was that we weren't engaged yet. When my fiancé finally proposed, the first wedding vendor we committed to was Leo. We had a video call with him and really enjoyed our conversation. We booked him for our wedding. We didn't even shop around or chat with other photographers. We knew Leo was the one. Then we began brainstorming for our engagement shoot. We desired something unique and special. And we had the perfect photographer to help us fulfill our vision. My fiancé and I love the outdoors and wanted to take our engagement photos in one of our favorite places: Utah. Our destination engagement shoot required a significant hike on an unmarked trail, deep in the Utah backcountry. Although Leo is not an avid hiker, he was on board. It was the best experience we could have asked for, despite Mother Nature not cooperating. We flew Leo out for three days. He was a consummate professional throughout the entire trip. We got to know one another and developed a friendship. This bond is crucial for any photographer and his/her clients. We trusted him with our photos, our moments, and our story. We knew he would capture "us" in our truest selves. Posing in front of a camera is intimidating, and I felt extremely awkward at first. However, Leo made the experience fun and comfortable. Furthermore, we were blown away by Leo's dedication and ability to take advantage of every situation. This man does not stop working. He was snapping photos from the moment we woke up, to the moment we headed to bed. He is not afraid to experiment with different techniques. After a long day of hiking 9.5 miles against 25-30 mph winds, Leo continued his photography wizardry in the evening. We took photos during golden hour and some amazing nighttime shots that involved rigorous physical exertion on Leo's part (running around). Despite the wild weather conditions, Leo never complained or wavered. As an avid outdoorswoman, I was over our hike but Leo inspired me to keep trekking! He was a true trooper tackling the 30-mph-winds and long mileage. More impressively, his camera never stopped clicking. Leo didn't simply take photos at our destination, he was shooting during the whole hike. He found cool angles and sensational viewpoints. Due to the strong winds, my dress and hair were whipping in every direction. I could barely keep my eyes open with the wind and swirling sand. At times, I felt like I was on the verge of getting blown away. I was worried the photos wouldn't turn out well, but Leo went toe-to-toe with Mother Nature, and our pictures from that day were excellent. On the third and final day, we embarked on a short hike to a slot canyon. While it was a less strenuous day, the temperatures were in the low 40s. I was struggling to keep warm in my formal attire. Leo was extremely patient as I took numerous breaks to put on my jacket or switch out of my heels. At the end, he got some awesome "fashion shots". Leo had a quick turnaround and shared our engagement photos within a month. We are thrilled with the results. He captured many candid and fun behind-the-scenes moments. I was nervous that our photos would look staged or forced. (This is our top concern with wedding photography in general.) We don't want our pictures or ourselves to appear artificially constructed. However, Leo provided great guidance, even our posed pictures look natural (excluding the fashion shots as these are purposely posed). Furthermore, Leo's photo editing achieves a natural look. Wedding planning is stressful and overwhelming. Working with Leo has been our favorite vendor experience so far. Incredibly smooth and delightful; it's like hanging out with an old friend. As a photographer, Leo's vision and talents are superb. You're not going to get run-of-the-mill pictures. Leo's shots are stunning, artistic, and a beautifully intimate glimpse into the couple's love story. We cannot wait to have Leo work his magic at our wedding, the most magical day of our lives.

I looked and communicated with around 4-5 photographers before deciding on Leo. I chose Leo because…read moreI liked his portfolio and photo editing style the best. He had the most artistic flair and it looked like he put in time/work into the post-production of the photos. He was extremely responsive via email. This was crucial since I was planning a California wedding from New York. He was open to negotiating and made sure to work within my budget. For 8 hours of photo coverage it cost me a little over $4k. He has lots of videos and useful tips on his blog. Leo is the sweetest and friendliest guy! He photographed both my Vietnamese tea ceremony and my American-style ceremony and reception. He is soft-spoken, professional and was on-time for all events. I appreciated that he knew it was hot outdoors and that I didn't want my bridesmaid and myself to melt for the sake of a good photo. So instead, he had us take pictures in the shade which allowed for us to stay cool while taking advantage of the picturesque outdoor elements. He is versatile and can do different style photos as you can see from his portfolio. I wanted a more muted and matte tone to the photos and he executed that well. I only had him shoot photos for my wedding but you have the option of paying $500 for a second photographer to join him. I also had him for my instant photos that I took during cocktail hour. Instant photos is common in many Asian wedding and is when guests get to take a photo with a stationed bride and groom and get to have their photo printed immediately. The first few photos were a little slow so guests had to walk away and get their photo later. An hour was a little short for us to get photos with all of our guests but we did the best that we could. My aunt thought that the instant photo should have been taken a little closer up but I kind of liked that it was taken further back so you could see the full body and a bit of the nice decor in the background. I didn't give a list or instruction on what photos I wanted so I feared that photos of things like food, table decor, dessert table, etc. weren't taken but Leo took care of all of that.

Brandon has the ability to make you feel incredibly comfortable in front of the lens, and the resulting photographs do not at all feel "posed" in a prom photo-like way because you are at ease throughout the process. During our engagement session and on our wedding day it felt more like we were hanging out with a good friend who just so happened to be skillfully snapping photos of us while we were chatting. He has a great eye and is not afraid to gently nudge you outside of your comfort zone to get a great shot, all the while respecting your tolerance levels for how far you're willing to trek through brush and up sandy hills, for example. I know that I will cherish my photos for years to come, and I can't thank Brandon enough for sharing his craft with the world and with my husband and I in particular. I highly recommend Brandon for your photography needs -- you absolutely will not regret it!

He was always so quick to respond. When the wedding finally arrived, he put us and our families at ease. The groom and both fathers are pretty vocal in their dislike of photos, but Jeff managed to win even them over - he was professional but fun, and the suggestions that got us all laughing led to some of the best photos during the family portraits. We did a two-hour session earlier in the week before the wedding with just the bride and groom, to save time during the packed wedding day, and this ended up being a great call. Not only did we get some incredibly striking photos in a different setting than what was available during the wedding itself (like in front of a jaw-dropping sunset), we also had the opportunity to get comfortable with Jeff and his shooting style. Highly recommend. The photos turned out amazing, which is a huge understatement. He put together the gallery after the wedding faster than I was expecting, and sent us access to an online gallery. He had already picked out some highlights, but sent us everything so we could go through ourselves. He also did a few touch-ups for us that meant a lot - like removing an accidental photobomb from another vendor when my dad and I were walking down the aisle. Overall - an amazing experience! I've never had professional photos done before, and the candid moments he was able to catch of us I will cherish forever.

They were familiar with our venue, so they had some really great suggested photo spots, but they were also totally happy to incorporate all of our requests too. As for the photos, WOW. Seriously stunning. We have hundreds and hundreds of absolutely gorgeous photos, and you can find a photo for every single guest. It took about 4 weeks to get them all back, and we got some sneak peek photos about 1.5 weeks after the wedding. It was all completely worth the wait, we are so so so happy and grateful to have had Jeff for our wedding. It was everything we hoped for and more.

Having a photographer and videographer who already knew how to work together made the entire day flow so smoothly. They communicated well, coordinated effortlessly, and even shared footage with each other -- which made everything feel seamless and stress-free. Jake from Moonlit Weddings was absolutely amazing. From the moment he arrived, he made us feel completely comfortable -- so much so that most of the time we forgot he was even there. He captured everything we could have hoped for while never making us feel like we were in a staged photoshoot. The footage feels natural, emotional, and truly reflects our day. He was also incredibly flexible with timing and went above and beyond by staying late to capture our wedding exit, which meant so much to us. That extra effort did not go unnoticed. If you're considering Moonlit Weddings, don't hesitate -- we would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and genuinely wonderful videographer. We're so grateful we chose them to capture our wedding day!

I was sure that every wrinkle and double chin would be preserved for posterity along with some cheesy smile that made me look like I sold life insurance from ads in the AARP magazine. Cameras scare the CRAP out of me. I have always taken bad pictures and pictures make me feel bad about myself. But -- I needed a damn picture for my website; my friend/webdesigner insisted. So, based on the nice pictures on his website and the good Yelp reviews and recommendations, I appeared with trepidation at his studio - a bit of a nervous wreck - certain of my coming humiliation. Steve calmly assured me that this was going to be ok. He calmly explained what he would be doing. Somehow, magically, he got me to smile. He got so into his craft, I actually relaxed. The results? Dude has voodoo magic camera mojo. I am serious. I really had no idea how many intricate adjustments of position, lighting, camera settings, computers settings one could use as variables in getting a good shot, but whatever space shuttle he was piloting certainly worked to my advantage. Dude knows what he's doing. When he showed me his results, I almost fell over. They were great pictures. I'm an old lady of 47, but I didn't look like an old lady at all. And this was before the touch ups!! I'll be proud to use these. I totally recommend Mr. Steven N! (Even if he won't take my family Christmas photo with my dogs in santa hats.)

I originally was not going to have a videographer for our wedding. But my father was diagnosed…read morewith a terminal illness and I made a quick decision to hire a videographer for our wedding as that could be one of the last happy memories we had with my dad. So mere weeks before our wedding, I had to find a videographer. Even though I had my wedding planned for months, I went to a bridal show to find a videographer. I am a slow and deliberate person and like to think through my decisions but due to the rushed nature of my decision, I had to go with my gut and intuition as I needed to have a videographer on board quickly. I visited all of the videographer booths and viewed the videos. I just couldn't find the right one - either I didn't like the background music of a sample video or the way some of video scenes looked unnaturally staged and that was exactly what I was afraid our wedding video would look like and really the reason we hadn't originally considered a videographer. But then I wandered into another videographer booth and watched a video sample that actually moved me to tears - Jordan Bunch Productions - just WOW! I signed up with Jordan right there at the Bridal Show and that was the best wedding decision I've made. Jordan is an absolute genius. I can try to describe Jordan's videos (touching, moving, artistic, great vision, optimizes every shot, great editing skills) but I think you just need to do what I did and go with your gut and intuition because when you watch his videos you will see for yourself that his videos surpass any other wedding videos. Jordan himself is an absolute dream to work with, very responsive to all my concerns and not very noticeable at the wedding which made our video more real and sincere as no one was "acting" for the camera. I look at our video now and see the precious moments that were captured and I really don't remember a camera being around. This is the best wedding videographer in Austin. Hands down.

On the day of they were great at staying low-key and still efficient at grabbing people quickly for important shots post-ceremony, etc. Very reasonable pricing, and they're willing to accept full payment after the wedding in case of last-minute budget crunches (they film everything day of but won't send you video until after payment (duh)). 2nd Generation Video was one of the *very* few things that I actually feel like was worth the final price and that's saying a lot when it comes to weddings.
