They captured the most important moments of our life so beautifully. It was a pleasure working with such an amazing couple. Their expertise and excitement put us at ease. We truly enjoyed every minute shooting with them and we're so lucky to have such a talented and amazing dynamic duo on our wedding day. We are so grateful to have these memories of our special day, that we can look back at for years to come!  We can't recommend them enough! Having Sweetwater Portraits as our photographer was the best decision of our wedding, besides getting married of course ;)

All I can say is wow. Just wow. As many brides can attest, planning a wedding makes you realize…read morethat you have opinions on things that you never thought you'd have an opinion on. For me, that was wedding photos. There are a lot of photographers who produce highly stylized - and to be clear, very beautiful - photos. Some give off a dark, glamorous vibe; and others use a sort of tan/whitewashing filter. While I really like those looks, for my wedding, I wanted a photographer whose photos looked less stylized, and more like really good quality, truer-to-life pictures. When I saw Sweetwater's pics, I knew I'd found my photographer...and that was reaffirmed after I chatted with Dutch, and after he helped my husband and me make decisions about where to take photos, what we wanted to capture, etc. On the day of the wedding, Dutch and his team were AWESOME. They were organized, attentive, and kept everyone on track. They were also so fun to work with, and they more than played along with the very goofy sense of humor that my husband and I have. Everyone in my wedding party was talking about them, saying how great they were, and for good reason. They killed it. As for the photos themselves, I've gotten so many compliments since posting them. As self-conscious as I am, they made me feel so beautiful, and I cannot recommend booking them enough. Dutch and his team at Sweetwater are true professionals who know what they're doing and know how to herd tough wedding parties with a firm, yet warm approach. I'm so, SO glad we hired them for our wedding day.

We went to Longwood, while I'd been there before I didn't know how well it would photograph at night. I also had only about 2 weeks to get a photographer. Thankfully Gretchen was there to save us all! She offered a call to clarify about the plan and recommend locations to propose at for better photos as well. This proved to be super helpful considering both my friend's now fiance and I knew nothing about proposals. On the day of, she stayed in constant contact for the surprise photos and charged in the moment the proposal began. The couple received about 30 photos (granted they were at night with very little lighting) but she said that usually couples receive 50+ photos on sessions w good lighting.

Every time I post one of our…read moreincredible wedding or engagement photos to my social media accounts, I receive so many compliments on how unbelievably talented she is. Tara was incredible for many reasons. 1. She took time to learn about us as a couple, asking us to take a quiz to learn our love languages and asking pointed questions about our dynamic and relationship. This helped her to take photos that really represented us in our real life. 2. She was quick to respond to any questions or updates that we had, so I was able to mark things off of my to do list quickly. 3. She uses lighting in an AMAZING way, capturing an already gorgeous scene in a way that I didn't even see before the photos came out. 4. She focuses on LGBTQ couples, making us feel comfortable during what feels like a vulnerable state (being very out in public while taking photos with your partner). 5. Tara got our sneak peek to us extremely quickly, and followed up soon after with the rest of the photos. I can't recommend her enough. Her business and her clients are her top priority, and in my opinion, she truly is the best in the game. We will cherish these photos forever.
