I was in the process of planning my wedding and I didn't want to go with a novice photographer. Bromwyn was exactly what I was looking for! The extravaganza can be overwhelming with so many vendors to choose from, but I can tell you that Bromwyn was one of the best priced/seasoned photographer there! All of the pictures were vibrant and perfectly captured our magical wedding day! I would highly recommend you reach out to her for your next wedding our event!

Bromwyn was an absolutely phenomenal photographer. We hired her for an engagement session, a bridal…read moresession, and our wedding. Not only did the photos turn out excellent, we loved working with her. She always knew how to help us pose and smile. We felt comfortable with her guiding us along. At the wedding itself Bromwyn did a fantastic job of capturing all the important moments and then some. Not only that, but she did it all so unobtrusively. She was a phenomenal help with choosing locations to shoot at and suggesting outfit colors that complemented our location. We would absolutely recommend Bromwyn to anyone looking for a fantastic, personable photographer who doesn't break the budget!

Time for my update!!…read more Not only did Sarah take photos for our engagement and wedding, but I did a boudoir shoot with her as a present to my darling husband on our wedding day. I spent many hours researching what to wear and how to look sexy for this shoot. Needless to say I was very nervous and worried about my body. I knew I was in good hands with Sarah, but still, taking revealing photos in a hotel bedroom would leave any non-model a bit shaky. All my fears were for nothing. Sarah was FANTASTIC! I felt completely at ease with her. She would put me in the best poses and made me feel like a sex kitten. It was incredible to feel so sexually liberated during a photo shoot. I did get to see a few pictures from her camera and I was blown-away. I didn't even recognize myself. It was like staring at a wanton sex goddess. Sarah got the photos back to me within 3 days. Seriously...to get a set of any professional pictures in 3 days is a miracle. Fast forward to the wedding day as we are exchanging gifts. Matt opens the photo album with my pictures and the first look on his face makes everything worthwhile. I am almost at a loss for words to describe the feeling that came over me when I saw my wedding photos from Sarah for the first time. Our guests actually got a sneak peak at the reception. Sarah set up her Mac as a slide show presentation that included pictures taken from our engagement session, earlier in the day and ceremony. It was awesome to see everyone crowded around her computer, pointing, smiling and laughing. I had so many people that night tell me how excited they were to see the completed photos. My wedding package did come with photo viewing cards that gave out the gallery location, password and date they would be available for viewing. What a great idea! Throughout the big day I rarely noticed Sarah and her second photographer at all. They were never intrusive or made anyone stop and smile for the camera. We had a great time hamming it up with the wedding party photos. We ended up in a back alley, at a bar and jumping up in the air. Those unusual places created the best moments captured on film. The day we came back from our honeymoon, Sarah surprised me with an email saying the pictures were ready. She had them up in her gallery 1 week earlier than quoted on the viewing cards. She had blogged them on her website and created a web page for us that included a slide show from the wedding, with music set to our first dance and recessional song from the ceremony. I was in shock when I saw the slide show. I was laughing, crying and screaming with delight. It was like getting married all over again. All of the special highlights from that day were included! Then, I have another gift waiting... all the photos to view! Looking through all the photos, seeing all our guests in action left me with this feeling of pure delight. I have never seen real life captured so beautifully. If this long-winded review hasn't made my point clear, let me spell it out. SARAH Q IS THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE WORLD! This review deserves 100 stars.

Sarah was our wedding photographer. Overall we were quite pleased with her work…read more Her usual wedding photography packages are very pricey now, and were somewhat pricey at the time, but when we discussed with her that we only wanted coverage of one location (our reception) for 3 hours, she agreed to a price that was less than half of her wedding rate at the time (it was around 1/4 of what she charges for weddings now, if that gives you any idea). So she might be willing to work with you in terms of price range ... that's cool. For what we paid we got the 3 hours of shooting, online gallery for 6 months, and disc of images that we could print out, email, etc. Of course we would've gotten more "frills" if we had gone with an actual wedding package, but hey, we got what we really needed. I chose Sarah because of the incredible work that is displayed on her website/blog, and I have to say that compared to that stuff, we did not get her best work. Still much better than most of the wedding photography I see out there. But since we paid so much less than these other people did, well, I understand. My photo disc and image gallery took a bit longer than expected (gallery was up a month and a week after the wedding, disc came in the mail shortly thereafter), and I was kinda sad that there was only one picture of our reception flowers (which was a close-up of a few individual flowers so didn't actually show the beautiful arrangement from Central Market), and no pictures of our garland exchange (traditional Indian thing where the bride and groom exchange lei-like garlands, one of the few actual "ceremony" elements of our reception), but literally a whole old-school roll of film (25+ images) of 4 of my cousin's kids twirling around and blowing bubbles. I did fill out an online form pre-wedding in which one specified what one wanted documented, and I did not mention the flowers or the garland exchange though I did mention other things such as our dance and some specific portraits with different relatives, so that's why I'm not really downgrading this review (pics of my cousin's kids were not requested ... I guess I expected a few, but not that many). I guess I just figured a picture of the flower arrangements was sort of a common-sense thing (the garland exchange was probably not all that great to look at anyway and was over in a few seconds, so is not that big of a deal). It's been a little over half a year since the wedding, and I can't really remember what the beautiful flowers looked like, and nothing can really be done about it. On the other hand, I get new pictures of my little cousins all the time (from their parents) ... they aren't gone forever like the flowers are. I also wanted to mention that though no plus-size/more-to-love/overweight/fat people are depicted on her website/blog as far as I can tell, Sarah does do a good job of taking pictures of those of us who fit that description. As I said, that might be hard to figure out from looking at her stuff online, and well, half of the population is overweight, and (in my opinion) we're harder to photograph eye-pleasingly than the other half, so it's an important point. (Edit: it's now mid-April, months after I wrote this review, and Sarah has just put some pictures of a "more-to-love" couple up on her blog, so ignore this paragraph, I guess) I really do still think that we got an extremely good deal for what we paid, and we do love our wedding pictures. I would recommend Sarah as a photographer and would just caution potential customers to be sure to be very clear about what they want pictures of, which I guess is common sense anyway.

My wife and I selected Chelsey Schrader as the photographer for our wedding and were super pleased…read morewith our choice. Chelsey was very friendly and easy to work with, as was her assistant. The pictures are excellent - she truly captured the all aspects of the event and the quality of the photos is top notch. Her is website is well-designed and easy to use - it's nice having a link that we can send to friends and family so that they can browse the pictures online. Her price was very good compared to other vendors we considered. The turnaround time for getting the pictures back to us was pretty much standard (approximately the same as what other vendors promised). I have no complaints and would definitely recommend her. Thanks Chelsey!

Quality pictures were the main thing I was concerned about for the wedding, so photographers is…read morewhat I research and stressed over the most. After looking at lots of online portfolios, I found Chelsey's to be one of the best. Then looking at her pricing, she also happened to be one of the most affordable. Even her basic package included an assistant (a second camera) while other photographers charged extra for an assistant. Our wedding was on a Friday and she gave us a discount for it being a non-Saturday event. My husband (then, fiance) and I met with her at a local Starbucks to discuss wedding details. Chelsey was super sweet and friendly throughout the entire meeting and wedding planning process. I was able to easily contact her and ask her questions. She works well with the uniqueness of your wedding/event and asks up front for specific shots you "must have". During the wedding, she was calm and friendly to everyone, and I hardly noticed her to be honest (she was not up in your space). Then when we got the pictures I MELTED!!!! The pictures are absolutely incredible!!! They are all very natural shots, not many posed pictures (which is something my husband and I were specifically trying to avoid) and all very natural colorings and edits. Honestly, I could frame all 760 of the photos and hang them on our walls! Chelsey is wonderful!!!

Lauren photographed my proposal and I couldn't be happier. She was amazing to work with. She…read morevisited the venue with me ahead of time to scout out locations and make sure we both understood the plan. When we were scouting it out she helped me think through the best place to propose not only for photography purposes, but also for timing. I modified my original plan based on this and am really glad I did. She definitely knows what she's doing here. On the evening of the proposal she joined me about 45 minutes before my girlfriend was scheduled to arrive so we could make sure everything was setup in plenty of time. It was a surprise (obviously), so I was super nervous. Having Lauren's calm and knowledgeable presence had a huge calming effect on me. She took of few candid shots of me waiting and preparing, which I really appreciate. When my girlfriend was scheduled to arrive, Lauren was very discrete and took lots of candid shots. After we had enjoyed some time celebrating with champagne and making a few phone calls to family, we spent a little time taking some posed shots. The photos turned out great and are something I know we'll always treasure. I'm so glad I was able to use work with Lauren to capture such a special moment.

We used Lauren's services for our Engagement pictures and destination wedding in Playa del Carmen,…read moreMexico and couldn't be happier. Everyone compliments our photographs and the beauty in Lauren's work. I told her ahead of time that my fiance wasn't very photogenic and she gave us tips throughout our sessions to help with our facial expressions, and our pictures turned out great. I also had ideas for specific pictures and shared my thoughts with Lauren and she was able to combine her skills and my vision beautifully. I did a lot of research on choosing a local photographer (i.e. in Mexico) versus taking a photographer to your wedding, and I would recommend taking your photographer because we felt more comfortable and were able to develop a relationship with Lauren after a great experience during our engagement pictures. Plus, Lauren has destination wedding experience and our photos turned out amazing! She was clearly knowledgeable about differences in indoor/outdoor lighting and everything else that you have to think about related to destination weddings. For our destination wedding, we chose the package that included Lauren and a second photographer and I would highly recommend that if it is feasible for you because it allows them to capture different perspectives at the same time. For example, my hubby's expression as I was walking down the aisle. Lauren was also great at coming up with ideas for family photos and bridal party pictures. Lauren is based out of Austin and we live in Dallas, but the fact that we were not located in the same city didn't make a difference. Lauren was quick to respond to e-mails and extremely professional. I could go on and on about how pleased we are but don't think there is anything else to say besides you won't regret your choice with Lauren Reynolds Photography.

We were…read moremarried at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden and she took not only beautiful portraits of the wedding group but also managed to work in the spectacular scenery as well. She is very friendly but also very professional and gets the photos back to you in a timely manner. She helped out a lot in other ways with the wedding without be asked to, offered useful advice on the procession and when the album paper/printing didn't come out quite right, she replaced it for free. She breathes and lives this profession, so if you want a soulful and attentive artist who gives a shit about your special day, she's the photographer for you!

And boy did we make a great decision! We couldn't have been happier working with her and how beautiful our wedding photographs turned out. As a queer couple, it was very important for me and my wife to feel comfortable with the photographer we worked with. Julie flew out to California and from the minute she arrived she was all smiles. Julie brings a genuine joy to her work as well as a calm confidence that let us know we were in good hands. We were able to truly be in the moment in front of the camera and Julie was able to capture our joy and love so beautifully. She was also able to capture whole wedding itself and navigate our families (no small task). Everyone felt at ease in front of the camera. Aesthetically our pictures were even better than we could have hoped for. Julie brings a real artistry to her work and her level of professionalism is phenomenal. If you're wondering whether you should hire Julie, stop wondering. The answer is YES YES YES!

Julie was my favorite vendor of my wedding, hands down! She is so professional and her photographs…read moreare just gorgeous. I found Julie in a Wedding magazine and reached out to her. She got back to me immediately and sent me her 'wedding package' services. Sadly, I realized I could not afford her, so I replied back with that message. She kindly got back to me asking what my budget was and the date of my wedding. She was happy to work with me. Surely, having a wedding on a Friday instead of a Saturday may have helped. None the less, Julie agreed to photograph my wedding for set hours. I received timely emails regarding payments, questionnaires regarding the wedding, and timelines. I loved her organization. She showed up on the date of the wedding right on time and got to work quickly. She was good at directing people, but also patient with more difficult family/people. She made everyone feel at ease. One week after the wedding, I received the most beautiful preview slideshow! https://juliewilhitephotography.smartslides.com/tammy-jacks-wedding It's amazing she was able to produce this so quickly, especially since Thanksgiving fell between my wedding and when she sent it! My husband and I love watching the video and reliving the evening, and it brought my family to tears. I haven't even received my photos yet, but I cannot rave enough about Julie! I have full confidence this was the best investment I made and I cannot wait to get the rest of my images! Thank you Julie!!!

As most brides would say, the evening flew by and next thing you know its over, I'm so grateful that she was able to capture so many special moments that I can look back on for the rest of my life. The icing on the cake was her delivery of our photos, from the website to the beautiful drive she gave us we are just beyond thrilled! You will not be disappointed, I feel to blessed to have been given the opportunity to work with her!
