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!

My wife and I chose to work with Jenny to capture all of the special moments from our wedding this…read morepast summer, and we couldn't be happier with that choice. First off, and most importantly, Jenny takes beautiful photos. Her work is every bit the "professional wedding photographer" quality you'd expect to see, and she clearly has an eye for what scenes, lighting, etc. make dynamic shots. Her photos were a beautiful blend of some of the more "traditional" shots we requested and she took, as well as a few remarkable/artistic shots that really showcased her creative talents and blew us away. Just take a look at her online galleries, and the quality of her work speaks for itself. The quality of Jenny's final product was astounding. Already expertly captured, Jenny carefully and tastefully edited our photos to really bring them to life. The attention to detail was exquisite; you can tell that she took the time necessary to ensure that her final product was polished and just what we asked for. The final product she delivered to us exceeded our expectations. The quality of the bound materials and digital prints was first-class and is something our family will always cherish. Personally, Jenny was a delight to work with. She was attentive, personable, and easy to get in touch with. We were especially fortunate that she was able to join us for our rehearsal dinner as well, and she blended right in to the fabric of the party, effortless snapping photos of the guests while partaking in the joyous mood and festivities. We also had the pleasure of meeting Jenny's wonderful husband who was, like Jenny, such a pleasure to meet and work with. He also took some truly spectacular shots from a balcony during the ceremony! My wife and I couldn't be happier with the astounding service, communication, or product they Jenny Webber delivered. She so beautifully and artfully captured the magic of our special day, and helped crystallize in time the spirit of those special memories. If she's available to shoot your wedding, we would wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Creative Portraits allow me to showcase each person's unique individuality and bring out the best in them. Macro Photography is the art of capturing something very small and reproducing it much greater than life size. This allows for details too small to be seen to be showcased for their beauty.

It's not often I feel compelled to write a testimonial after working with someone--but in this…read morecase, it's absolutely warranted. Brian and Laurel at Aquadro Photography were an incredible team to work with for my proposal shoot with my (now) fiancée. From the very beginning, their responsiveness and professionalism stood out. Despite reaching out late in the day, I received a reply within just a couple of hours. They were incredibly accommodating of my hectic schedule and quickly arranged a meeting to discuss the details. During my initial meeting with Brian, I immediately knew he was the right photographer for the moment. I shared a general vision for the proposal and mentioned that I wasn't familiar with the area. Brian went above and beyond, offering a detailed overview of several great locations and ultimately helping me choose Great Head. He sent videos, Google Map pins, and step-by-step instructions to make sure I could navigate to the location easily. He even prepared similar resources for our two backup spots in case stormy weather made reaching Great Head unsafe. Leading up to the proposal, Brian stayed in regular contact, offering tips to help make the shoot a success. As someone who had never done a professional photoshoot before, I had countless questions--many of them last-minute--and both Brian and Laurel were incredibly patient and thorough in answering them all. Brian even scheduled a video call just days before the proposal to go over everything and ensure I felt confident and prepared. On the day of the shoot, Brian arrived at Great Head at 4:30am to get everything ready ahead of our arrival at sunrise. He captured the proposal beautifully, with both sweeping landscape shots and intimate close-ups. After giving us a few quiet moments together, he joined us for a post-proposal shoot. He struck the perfect balance between letting us be ourselves and offering helpful guidance for poses and angles when needed. His creativity, eye for detail, and calm presence made an already special day even more memorable. I can't recommend Brian and Laurel highly enough. They are not only talented and professional but also genuinely kind people who helped ease my nerves and made the entire experience feel effortless. The photos are absolutely stunning, and the experience of working with them was exceptional from start to finish. Thank you both for helping make a day we had dreamed about so perfect!

While he was taking the photos of us, he would have us look at the captured photos on a large high definition screen(maybe 42" screen) that was in the studio. He would ask us what we liked about the photos and what we didn't like. In response to our individual answers, he restructured how he took the following photos and coached us through repositioning ourselves to get the perfect shot. After we took all the photos, he scrolled through them individually flagging the ones we liked. After flagging them, he let me decide on which ones we wanted for processing. His turn around time for the photos was fast, and the quality of the photos portrayed the professionalism my company needed. He is someone who enjoys what he does, and is great at it.
