They went to the location we agreed upon a couple days before to make sure the lighting and sun were perfect for our shoot. The day of, Laurel was texting me about the weather and they were super flexible with everything going on. Right at 6 she texted me saying her and her husband were in town and they were heading to the spot. When we got there they were pretending to take pictures of their kids. It was so cute. So far the pictures they sent us have been amazing and we had a great time taking pictures with them. We were laughing and having a great time. Couldn't have asked for better people to do this for us. Thank you!

He was very accommodating to some of our creative "needs" (Me kissing our dog and my husband and I taking a secret shot of whiskey before our ceremony!) he had fun with it and the pictures he captured came out wonderful! Many of our guests watched him work and had such nice things to say about his interactions and his work with the camera. Absolutely stellar all around! A day to remember for sure and we have the best photos to remember it by! I am certain he could meet any photo needs that anyone could throw at him! Thank you Shaun!

He is obviously extremely versatile as well so I gladly recommend him for every kind of event/shoot!

They were kind, professional, and just really awesome to be around!! We were continuously laughing and having the time of our lives, they made everything so comfortable and easy!

Erica was great to work with over the phone- very understanding and flexible and wiling to help me make the day special!

They were willing to battle harsh terrain and blustery winds. They were just fantastic and made it easy for us to have the shots we wanted. I love our pictures and we'll be framing a bunch of them for display all over our home!!
