The engagement shoot blew us away; she is an expert at posing you. At the wedding, she did so much more than take photos. She was truly a comforting presence and helped to brighten my spirits and keep me calm. Our highlight photos came in mere days, and she had worked back-to-back weddings that weekend! I can't wait to come back to Megan for many more life events to come.

We attended a food truck festival here and there was a ton of space for parking and for all of the trucks, with plenty of picnic tables and porta potties for a large crowd.

Don't hesitate, just do it…read more I purchased a Groupon which led to Graciela (photographer of Indigo Love). I wanted to have a Boudoir session and give an album to my fiance on our wedding day. I initially contacted her via email and once the date of our session was set, she called. Immediately upon talking to her, my mind was put at ease. She is personable, outgoing, down-to-earth, and fun. She is easy to talk to and open to lots of ideas. She discussed her privacy policy, which I was most concerned about and it is very good. Prior to the shoot I took pictures of my outfits on my phone and she confirmed that I was on the right track and gave a few more ideas. The day of the shoot I got to her house early and was greeted by her and the make-up artist Katie (we were the only ones in her house the whole day). Graciela went through my outfits while Katie started on my hair and make up. Once I was ready to go, we went to the 'photography room' in her house. This is a room where everything, including the floor, is painted white. It's very vintage and she has a bunch of different settings/props (boudoir couch, old telephone, old radio, etc). She also has 2 backdrops available at the moment. Be sure to ask her about these ahead of time. She also has her own lighting, so don't worry about the day being cloudy instead of sunny. The pictures turned out fantastic! Some of them I look at and can't believe it's me. They look like a cross between Maxim and classy boudoir. I was so proud that I showed some of my friends (who now know me a little 'too' well!). Advice: I highly suggest at least getting the make up portion of the Boudoir session, because it really helps even out your skin tone in the bright lights of the photos. Don't expect fantastic hair, she's more of a makeup artist than a stylist, but it did the job for the 'bedhead look' I was wanting. And fair warning, Graciela is an artist with LOTS of ideas. You may have to keep her on track and be REALLY descriptive with your ideas. We had lots of plans at the beginning of the day, but in reality you only have a certain amount of time, so be sure to voice your thoughts because she will prioritize and not be offended. Lastly, if you're someone who needs a 'pristine' environment, you might talk to her about holding the session at a hotel room. Price? I went all out. I got the longer session with makeup and hair onsite, 8'x8' album, four 8'x10's, and two 5x7's. (FYI the album includes the digital's). When all was said and done, minus the Groupon and plus tip and the new outfits I spent around $900-1000. When I priced other photographers in the area and in Philly, that's actually VERY reasonable for everything I got. I suppose I could've done it for cheaper if I hadn't gotten all the extras, but you're only young once!

Lauren and I are SOOO excited! Our engagement session at Allenberry, our pre wedding day moments,…read moreand our wedding day of 170 guests which encompassed the whole Stone Gables Estate, which is massive, and was mainly at Star Barn was a dream of laughs and special moments. Lauren and I thoroughly researched photographers for our Wedding 3/25/2023 at Star Barn Stone Gables Estate. Our family fully rented out Moonstone Manor the week of the wedding. Star Barn and Moonstone both advised that Paul V was their preferred Photographer and Moonstone had my favorite "Dino photoshopped wedding shot" hanging centered on their wall when we toured them which was done by Paul V. We were considering 4 other photographers before our conversation with Paul. On our first call with Paul, Lauren and I had so much fun, laughs, and connection we looked at each other and knew he was the one we needed before we even ended the first call. He has his system, and is very organized, which took a lot of stress off of us on our wedding day. His package is insanely amazing he has been able to provide. He is the total package! He is the Legend! Every vendor we talked to for our wedding as we locked in Venue and then Photographer first knew of his amazing photography art, his hard work ethic, and his fun personality! Asking if the vendor knew Paul Vs work was Lauren and I's screening question for our other vendors as if they knew Paul Vs work then we knew they had expertise with our Venues to make our wedding day special. If you have a wedding at Star Barn, Moonstone, or photo needs anywhere as he offered to travel multiple times across multiple states for us you NEED HIM! He gave us same day wedding day photo slide show, he got stunning photos of everything, everyone, and every special moment especially the unscripted ones as he is always in the right spot to get the special moment. The morning after the wedding we got hundreds more photos plus he is still working on some super special ones for us. Our PERFECT wedding team (vendors): Paul V Photographer, Star Barn Venue, Moonstone Manor Venue, Food for Thought Catering, Miss Lyss Planner, Fx Photobooth, Klock Entertainment (Nick) DJ, Blossom Bliss Florals, Tangles Hair, Dublin Bridal Dress, Premiere 1 Shuttle.

I hired last year and was extremely excited to work with such a well known and recommended…read morephotographer.. However my hopes were quickly crushed at our rehearsal. I had hired a wedding planner to help coordinate the event and as she was teaching my family in what order/how to walk Paul came up to me and said "You have to put me in charge of this it's taking forever!!!" I was a bit confused as it hadn't even been a half hour so I just looked at him weird and focused on making sure my family was confident and happy. During the second run through he came up to me again and said that 'This is ridiculous we have to hurry up! This is taking forever!' I then explained this is the first wedding that they have ever been in and they need to practice. If he wanted to leave, he could. He decided to stay and project his negative energy. The beginning of our wedding day Paul was scheduled to show up at 9AM.. He finally showed an hour later and at that time my mother talked to him explaining that any more negative words/energy would not be tolerated. He agreed and came up to me and said not to worry he was going to work with everyone and it would be a positive day. Once we were at the ceremony venue he had pulled my planner aside asking if he could have a table set up in the middle of the reception to set up his computer so he could edit during the entire reception. Thankfully she denied him this as the center of my reception was going to be myself and my husband.. Not the photographer. After pulling the planner aside he then pulled the best man aside to see if he would carry his camera equipment for him all day.. Everything then ran smoothly until the reception. He had instructed me to hold my bouquet of flowers pretending to throw it the first time then to come back up and actually throw it so he could get his shot. I did so and my little sister caught the bouquet!! However, while I was celebrating this he ran up to me and yelled "You didn't do what I said?! I didn't get my shot!!!!" I responded with "Yes, I did and it's a little too late now to yell at me." Then around 8:30PM we were all on the dance floor having a great time! When Paul came up to me asking if he needed to capture anything else. I responded with "I think we're good until the sparkler exit if you'd like to take a break."He responded with "I don't ever capture the sparkler exit." I said "I sent the timeline to you months in advance.. Why didn't you mention this prior?" He then said "What the fuck?! Are you fucking kidding me...?" At which point I pulled my father to have him talk to the man I hired who was screaming fuck at me on the dance floor of my wedding reception. The photographer stormed out of the reception causing a scene. My wedding planner and family tried to get him to stay explaining that I/we didn't care about the next day gallery. He could take a month to edit and get us the photos. During this exchange he made the following remarks to my family and staff: "I'm a professional I don't work like a dog for my customers" "I have another wedding I have to prepare for" "My camera is too heavy and I'm tired, hold these things" "Fuck you" "I never stay this late" "My pictures are always good, there's nothing left to take pictures of. I'll just be taking the same shot" (2-3 hours before event ended) "Even if I did stay till the end there would only be 7 people left." After this display of pure professionalism, he stormed off and left my reception 2 hours early, even though he was contracted for the entire day. We then had to hire a second photographer for the remainder of the night which left me with a bill of $750. Which is in addition to the LARGE bill I prepaid Paul. The day after the wedding instead of being excited I was worried that I wouldn't receive any photos. Luckily he did contact me asking to speak with me and posted the photos. However, the photos I specifically asked him to capture he didn't. Our fist kiss photo is blurry, he didn't capture AJ's reaction to when he first saw me, and he missed the bouquet toss. After two days of calming down, my husband and I called him as he wanted to "smooth things over". We did not receive an apology. He instead said "he was dealing with an incompetent wedding planner", along with an assortment of other excuses about how hard he worked, and how heavy his cameras were. Basically saying that because he felt he did some good work that he should be excused for the lack of professionalism he carries. During this conversation we had asked if we could be refunded for the heirloom album that was part of our package as we didn't feel comfortable working with him any longer. He said he would not do that. We then asked him to put the other photographers photo in this album as we wanted it to showcase the whole day. He said he would think about it. Do not hire Paul V Photography. His images may be pretty but his lack of professionalism and nervous nature is not worth it.
