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!!!

Looking through the pictures Suzanne shot was like being able to re-live our wedding day! I'm…read moreamazed at how she was able to perfectly capture all of the moments that made the day so special. As the bride and groom, we were constantly running around trying to spend time with everyone, so we felt like we missed out on a lot, but Suzanne captured so many wonderful candid moments with our guests, that after looking at the pictures we felt like we didn't miss a thing! Suzanne is incredibly easy to work with, she listened to what my husband and I were looking for and executed it flawlessly. We immediately felt at ease with Suzanne, the entire process felt like we were working with an old friend. Our wedding was at the Austin Central Library and the photos Suzanne took were stunning. She had so many great ideas on where to shoot and she goes to great lengths to make sure she gets the perfect shots, which she did! If you're awkward in front of a camera, like me, don't worry, Suzzane will make you feel totally at ease and before you know it you'll feel completely comfortable getting your photo taken! Suzanne is an all-around wonderful person and an amazing photographer! I'm thrilled that she was able to be a part of our wedding day!

Every special moment we hoped for--and so many more--were beautifully documented. From the perfectly posed family photos to the candid shots of us and our guests, their attention to detail and ability to capture genuine emotion truly blew us away. Looking back through our gallery feels like reliving the day all over again. The photos are not only stunning but also tell the story of our celebration in such an authentic way. Suzanne and Justin were professional, kind, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for better photographers, and we're so grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly. Pressman Photography gave us a gift we'll cherish forever, and we can't recommend them highly enough!

At the beginning when I was deciding between photographers for my wedding, she was happy to hop on the phone with me, and it was clear that our wedding would be in amazing hands. Also, her pricing is incredibly reasonable, especially for how stunning her work is. We unfortunately had to cancel our wedding due to Coronavirus / COVID-19 mandatory closures, and Lisa was so easy to work with, even though we didn't want to reschedule our wedding right away (which not all vendors were willing to work with us). We can't wait to work with you in the future!

I had heard of Lauren Tarbel through a friend of a friend when i was in search of a wedding…read morephotographer. At the time she was living in Austin, Texas which is where my (now) husband and I reside. My first interaction with Lauren's work was her website, which prompted me to call. At the time i was interviewing a few prospective photographers for our "big day" but it was Lauren who sold me with her vision and enthusiasm. She invited me into her home and studio where she made us cappuccinos and we talked at great length about everything i was anticipating. I adored that she really allowed me to be a part of the creative process, and listened to my ideas. Helping conceptualize some of the photographic sets was important to me. On the day of our wedding, Lauren not only dressed the part to fit into our crowd, she somehow camouflaged her self practically all day, blending here and there. For my family members that did interact with Lauren, she was raved about. Lauren is one of the most polite, angelic, personable ladies out there, she continually maintained a polished and professional profile. I was blown away by our final product. The pictures are/were amazing. She uploaded a zip file for myself, family and friends to download at their convince which was SO MUCH FUN! I remember Facebook blowing up that day with excitement. I have continually been complimented on our wedding, and that makes ANY bride feel super special im sure. Im thrilled that we decided on Lauren Tarbel Photography, i couldn't ask for better documentation, lighting, and creative vision then what she provided.

TLDR; Nadine is amazing, talented, accommodating and her work is beyond what I could have wished…read morefor on my wedding day! You will be fortunate if you get the chance to see her in action and won't regret the decision to work with her. Long Version; Our original photographer had complications and canceled on us less than 4 weeks away from the wedding date, I was worried I wouldn't be able to find someone in time. Luckily, I found Nadine from a Yelp search and contacted her right away from all the awesome reviews... I was not disappointed, not only was she available for the day we needed her, but she worked within my very limited budget and made sure she knew exactly what I was looking for. Just about everything that could go wrong, did as far as my wedding was concerned - it was originally supposed to be outdoors at Zilker Park, but of course it rained ALL WEEK and the site was completely flooded and muddy so with just 48 hours left before the wedding day we had to move our location to a friend's home nearly 40 miles away from Zilker. Nadine didn't complain or charge us anything extra to move to a new location, she just showed up and gave us an amazing experience. In just two hours, she was able to capture well over 200 pictures that truly captured the emotions and atmosphere of the wedding. Once we were done, she let us know the final pictures would be ready in 6 to 8 weeks and though I don't know if that's very long or short for turnaround, it was 100% worth the wait - these images are absolutely stunning! Nadine, thank you so much for everything.

With only a couple of months notice, Nadine quickly and deftly scheduled time for us and walked us through the process. She was incredibly communicative, before and after the service, and responded to everything quickly. Our ceremony was outdoors and at sunset and she did an amazing job. I'm not even sure how she got some of the photos she did. She even helped calm me down pre-ceremony when I was getting overly emotional. So professional and warm. The pictures are sublime. It's hard for us to even look at them now without crying, which we did plenty of during the ceremony. She got some amazing candid shots and some really beautiful posed ones. She also got us our photos back quickly. Worth every penny!

We hired Melanie for our April wedding. We made an absolutely great decision there…read more We first met Melanie to do our engagement photos at the Blanton, those obviously turned out stunning, as she was able to get both of us to open up a little bit and get some good shots of us. Highly recommend doing an engagement session first, the chance to work with her twice was so awesome! Emails with her were always responded to in a very timely manner, and she was very helpful with any questions I had, so great to work with. She and her assistant James showed up and were ready to go on time, kept our day running smoothly through all the photos we wanted taken and they got so many shots of things that I didn't even think of! Finishing off the night with a gorgeous nighttime shot! Their personalities shone throughout the day, everyone was talking about how amazing and fun our photographers were.This was the first time that Melanie had worked with James, but you could not tell in the least, the two worked so well together and then the way they worked with the guests...I can't compliment them enough! As for the final product, it was beyond compare. Somehow she made it seem like when I scroll through the pictures of the day that I am just walking through memories of that day. It's so amazing, I truly am unable to pick my favorite pictures from the day, because they're all beautiful. I'm so glad that we hired her for our day, she made it truly great the day of and then the gift that keeps on giving, the memories she gave me are a true treasure. Hire Melanie anytime you want something important photographed, or you know just because you need pictures and want someone amazing to do it!

TEN GLITTERY STARS!…read more She-N-He are great. We found them at a "wedding extravaganza" convention in 2009. Most of the photography booths were hard to tell apart, and it seemed like theirs was the only one with a definite /style/. I didn't interact with "he" much, but "she" was awesome. Melanie and a helper photographed our wedding. They were friendly, relaxed, and totally flexible - there was no rigid list of shots to get, and they did some fun stuff working with the location. If you hire them, your wedding photos will look like a dream sequence in a slick modern magazine. That's probably because she's also a magazine photographer... http://www.melaniegrizzel.com/Grizzel_Portfolio.html Of the things that my husband and I paid for, the photography was a big ticket item. Before we started shopping for anything, we made a priority list (food, clothes, photo, venue, etc) and decided that even if everything went wrong, if it rained, and the cake fell over, and my dress was torn, and our friends had a brawl by the keg, it would all be okay if we had amazing photos. Because memories are strong, but photos can repaint your memories in better light. Luckily the day was perfect, but the gorgeous pictures help me remember it even more fondly :)
