We went to Susan's studio, on what I swear was the hottest day of all time and although I felt hot and sweaty and yucky, the pictures turned out fabulous. The ones of my husband and my kid are just PRICELESS and they make me so happy. Susan has a way of capturing the moment so that all the joy and expression and emotion just comes through. If there wasn't a photo to prove it, you'd never know there was a photographer documenting the moment and for me, that's the style I like. Nothing too posed or contrived, just us being us, and Susan coincidentally snapping a few photos in our general direction.

I cannot say this emphatically enough: working with Dan was the best decision I made when planning my wedding. He has a unique gift for putting his subjects at ease, which certainly comes in handy when my bride and I were entering what felt like hour 500 in shapewear, wedding gowns, and uncomfortable shoes. I always feel comfortable in front of the camera when he's behind it, making silly comments or asking me to tell stories that will liven up my face. Dan is an exceptionally talented photographer, a true pleasure to work with, and you will not find someone more invested in making sure your photos- and day, as far as he can help it- will turn out perfect. I could say more, but what matters most is this: hire Dan from Bowler Images for all your photography needs!

PJ did a wonderful job photographing our wedding in December of 2022. He took countless pictures we…read moreabsolutely love. He seemed to be having fun the whole time, which made us feel relaxed and comfortable. We're really impressed with his work, and my wife and I would highly recommend him! After viewing some of his portfolios on his site and instagram, we reached out to him about 6 months before the wedding. Since we aren't local to Richmond, he started the process with a few "ice breaker" questions and an introductory phone call to talk through our vision for the wedding, his process, and review the packages he offers. We needed a couple more hours of coverage than was offered in the packages, and he was flexible in making that work. All payments were painlessly done through an online portal. The day of the wedding, PJ was there on time to take pictures of the bridal party as they got ready. My wife commented that having him there felt perfectly natural. Arriving at the wedding was a bit... hectic (for other reasons), but PJ and his assistant went above and beyond to be helpful in the process, distributing the boutonnières and even helping some of groomsmen pin them on! After the ceremony, PJ was organized for the formals (he had the list we had sent him set as his phone background) and flexible as we snuck a couple extra group shots in. It was a relief to work with someone who added zero stress to the event! We had a bunch of fun and, at PJ's direction, got some artistic shots in with the bridal party in Monroe Park. He did a great job capturing the reception as well, making sure to grab our rings for a couple "artistic" shots and even pulling my wife and I aside for a few less formal photos. He had all of these creative ideas with little direction from us. Following the wedding PJ provided us our photos on his online portal. Starting with a smaller set of sneak peeks about three weeks after the wedding, then a highlight video and full set two or three weeks after that. The site had the ability to download the photos in high or mobile quality, hide photos from other viewers, and made it super easy to share with our family and friends.

Our 19-year-old is graduating this year, and we decided to do a few family photos, as well. We chose a scenic local park for the backdrop for our pictures. Rueben was laid back and easy going. As candid shots work best for our family, we gave him free reign to utilize his artistic skills and click away as he saw creative opportunities. Our boys took to Rueben immediately and loved the camera. Talk about photo bombing! Rueben got some great shots of both boys, our whole family, and even a few of just my husband and me. His turn around time for the pictures was SPEEDY! The photos were phenomenal; Rueben has a good eye. Although a handful of our pictures were posed, he was able to capture moments of interaction, emotion, and personality. Thanks so much, Rueben! #highlyrecommend #value #cherishedmoments

Stephanie, the owner, is very professional and keeps everything as simple as possible with regards to pricing and what to expect or do. This helps for those of us who are completely oblivious to the process. Based out of Richmond, after we saw their portfolio and heard how they do business, we felt comfortable to give them our business. Even though they were over an hour away from us, we still felt that Hoot would take care of us. In the end this was one of the best decisions we made. For our package we opted for the engagement photo session, photo booth, and the 8 hours for our wedding. We had a few other add-ons that included prints and signing pictures. Everything came out quickly and included a very professional presentation. We were elated to see how creative Stephanie was with the things she gave us. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend using Hoot Media all over again. In a very competitive world of photography our key points were creativity, pricing, flexibility and turn-around time. All of which Hoot Media delivers with flying colors.
