Nancy did a fantastic job photographing mine and my husband's wedding ceremony. We had a small, intimate gathering with just our parents and son present. I wanted to find someone who would offer a small photography package since we would only need about an hour or so of shooting. I did a Google search and stumbled across a handful photographers in Los Angeles who advertised "elopement" photography. After emailing several, we decided to go with Nancy. Her pricing is competitive and she was willing to work around what we wanted rather than a fixed package. However, what truly drew us to her was her website, specifically the "About You" section, which read:
"We are probably a great match if...
- Photography is a huge priority for you.
- You're a foodie and or enjoy wine.
- Travel is important to you and you have a bucket list.
- Laughter and conversation are key in your relationships.
- You value candid, in between moments, the not so perfect smile.
- You're a romantic."
We wanted someone who would capture our day uniquely and without all the typical posed shots. We also wanted someone who would make us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which by nature we are not. After reading that and then seeing her elopement ceremony, for which she wrote, "Yes, it's true! These hippies caved into society and are trying this thing called marriage," we knew she was the one for us!
In the days leading up to our wedding, Nancy was in constant contact with me, seeing if I needed help with flowers or any other last minute details. She actually gave me great advice on how to do my hair and what flowers to pick for my bouquet. She was able to see the "look" I was going for from an outside perspective, which was so incredibly helpful!
On our big day, she arrived early to scope out the location, started shooting early, and stayed later than anticipated. She used some great techniques to get authentic shots and I think our emotion is palpable throughout her photographs.
My husband and I are thrilled with how they turned out and we look forward to using her for baby photos when that time comes. Highly, highly recommended!! read more
