What a great guy to be around!…read more Paul is calm, funny, easy to talk to, and...(obviously by these reviews), a great photographer. We called only a day in advance, yet he squeezed us in after a day of THREE different photo shoots. Long day for him! Even after having so many photography jobs (and us telling him not to rush), he had our photos to us in just two days. The photos are BEAUTIFUL and most importantly, real-looking. Instead of doing a lot of editing, he used the natural light during the photo shoot to our advantage and I was wowed when I ended up liking every photo he'd taken. Would definitely recommend!

Some highlights: -Dan goes out of his way to establish a relationship with you as a couple. He gets to know you, asks insightful questions, sends you gifts and messages that he shows he cares and takes your wedding seriously, and (most importantly) he does the research needed to capture your wedding in a couple-curated way. -Dan and his team are wonderful to actually have at the wedding. They're non-intrusive, fun, and helpful in ways outside of just capturing great photos and videos. All lovely people. -The actual photos and video are AMAZING. We have framed and catalogued so many of these, and are very grateful they will be with us forever. Also, we like filming and editing our own videos of life events in our free time, and even still I'm just blown away by the quality of the videos we received. They're so much fun and wonderfully produced. -While it was our least favorite part (as we felt a bit pressured by time constraints), his team that assembles our final photo album were kind and helpful and worked with us for 2+ hours to get our album to where we want it to be. Fortunately, the final product was immaculate. Can't recommend Dan and his team enough. They are caring professionals who made our wedding that much more special. Brad & Rachel

Sarah makes sure you are comfortable 100% of the way, and there is no pressure to do anything but be your beautiful self! She not only takes amazing photos, some that have stunned me to tears, but she also helps make this an unforgettable experience. Sessions with her helped change my view on how I see myself, and have empowered me to pass on at least a shred of that to others so that they can see themselves in a different light as well. I cannot recommend this experience enough!

We began a strong work relationship and it didn't take long to develop into a genuine friendship. Micheal makes a great teammate; I had a tendency to shoot with no end in site and Michael was great at managing time and also conceptualizing idea's on the fly. Bringing the whole package to the table, Michael is one of the few creatives I have met who is equally talented in art direction and photography, possessing a diverse knowledge in all of the various photographic genres. Extremely easy to be around, smart and efficient with creative endeavors, I always look forward to working with Michael.

The best of the best!!!…read more My husband and I dreamt of having our engagement photos taken at the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and Pierece Stocking Drive, and when we found Rayan's portfolio we knew we had to meet her. Rayan is one of the most genuine people we have ever met. She is someone who honestly loves to capture moments of love. She gives back so much more than beautiful photos. Rayan gave us an experience we will never forget during our engagement session and her presence on our wedding day was exactly the kind of support we needed. We could not imagine anyone else navigating the day so closely with us. Rayan's work ethic and creativity is unrivaled, words honestly can't express how incredible her talent and personality are. We will always go to Rayan for life's precious moments. If you're thinking about meeting her for your wedding, do it. You won't be disappointed.
