This is going to be a semi long review but trust us, it's worth the read. If there was a rating…read morescale higher than 5 stars it would be 10+!
We were planning our destination wedding in Cancun, Mexico and due to some last minute changes, we needed a photographer within 2 months of the event. We interviewed quite a few photographers and only one really stood out.
Two Fourteen is run by an amazing couple (Virath and Krizelle) and they had an equally awesome second photographer with them (Esther). They offered us a great 10 hour coverage package which included up to 2 hours of non-wedding activities, versatility in flying out, an extra photographer, sneak peek photos within 2 days and so much more.
If you want timeless, candid, light / airy, elegant, professional and crispy photos :), look no further. With their beautiful photography as well as their welcoming / fun personality, contagious smiles, and sheer enthusiasm, it made for an easy choice. We felt comfortable and confident as they created timelines, schedules, meetings and provided constant updates. They went above and beyond to accommodate and even got down on the dance floor after a couple of drinks ;).
They are some of the most passionate people we have ever seen work: they glow with enthusiasm, are fun, personable and professional. Virath shines with his passion and love for photography, Krizelle is a gem who is clear and organized and Esther is fun, concise and meticulous. If you want "choreographed" photos... easy-peasy. If you want candid shots... it's covered. If you need flat lays or accents... done. If you have concerns on timelines, don't worry, they've already built in buffers. They excelled in every aspect and made sure to capture the magic for our very special day.
Some specific details that we appreciated:
1. They were proactive and spent time introducing themselves to our vendors and coordinating with them ahead of the wedding.
2. Two Fourteen also does videography, so they knew how to work with the videographers, even giving them directions and suggestions.
3. Krizelle had an emergency pack on her that had Advil / Tylenol which came in handy as the bridal party had a migraine come on in the middle of the day.
4. While we were getting ready, any coordination that needed to happen with vendors, they handled it for us (e.g. reaching out to our wedding planners and flower vendors to ensure florals were brought over for detail photos).
5. They helped pose us for almost all of our photos, fixed our hair, fluffed dresses, got us drinks, and more.
Something you don't realize is that your photographers are there with you for pretty much every moment of your day (more so than any other vendor - even your wedding planner). They're like your personal assistants and secondary wedding coordinators, not to mention your personal hype-men throughout the entire day.
After planning a wedding for over a year, it was truly a pleasure and a weight off of our shoulders to have such a dedicated team instill confidence in our decision. Their focus was undeniable and we felt like we made friends in the process. We rarely write reviews but this one was definitely warranted. Don't think twice, pictures are forever!
