As a wedding coordinator, I'm always a little skeptical when working with new vendors because you never know what to expect in terms of professionalism, communication, and work ethic. Brandon exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly easy to work with, provided great direction during photos, and helped create a fun, relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. His sense of humor and lighthearted personality made the experience enjoyable for both the couple and the vendor team. From what I've seen on social media, his work is absolutely stunning, and I can't wait to see the full gallery from our event. I would confidently recommend Brandon to my clients and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

Both Pauleen and Myro are incredibly talented and professional photographers. Pauleen helped make us feel entirely at ease in front of the camera with her directions and constantly hyping us up. On our wedding day, she knew all the best photo spots at our venue and was able to get us a wide variety of photos for our couple's portraits. Myro did a fantastic job getting photos of all our guests during the cocktail hour. We had several guests compliment how friendly he was and how many people he captured. In the background leading up to our wedding day, the True Photography team helped put a photography timeline that aligned with our wedding coordinator's timeline. This helped ensure we got all the photos needed included first looks, couple's portraits, family portraits, etc. No special moment was missed by the team throughout the wedding. From first looks to dancing at the end of the night, we the full story of our wedding day captured!

True team helped us create a thorough timeline while offering suggestions/clarification so we knew what to expect and see the vision! Alex, Sheryl, and Dillan were assigned as our wedding day True team! Alex kept us on track with getting important photos and staying within the timeline. Alex was clear on posing directions and had such a calm demeanor/communication style that helped me feel reassured. Sheryl was our second photographer who captured the best candids and fun moments (e.g. one of the groomsmen had his shirt off and I didn't know until we saw the photos! HAHA). Dillan was here, there, and everywhere to get the best angles for our first dance, games, and guest reactions. Looking at our photos, I'm floored with how beautiful they turned out! The wedding day came and went like a flash, but now we have sooo many photos to remind us of the happy and heartwarming moments from that day. Excited to see how the videos turn out! Highly recommend considering True Photography & Video!

They captured EVERYTHING, and somehow we still cry every single time we watch it. They were so friendly and warm from the beginning and made the whole experience fun. Everything felt really natural, and we never felt awkward in front of the camera. They also sent us little highlight teasers along the way, which I loved! They asked me what my vision was and if I had any ideas, but I honestly trusted them with it. I've watched so many of their videos, and every one feels different and personal to the couple. Ours really feels like us. They captured so many moments from the day, including little things we didn't even get to see ourselves. The final video was exactly what we wanted and even more. I truly cannot recommend them enough. Your wedding day goes by so fast, and having a video that brings you right back to those moments is something so special. We're beyond thankful we chose them to capture our day. They gave us something we'll get to watch, cry over, laugh at, and hold onto for the rest of our lives.

She was organized and efficient, and she knew exactly what needed to be done, which helped keep everything running smoothly without feeling rushed or stressed. We were sent a booklet detailing all the steps and the planning process, which made it so easy! From the moment we met the team, they felt more like friends by our side than a company we had hired. They helped us feel comfortable, relaxed, and fully present throughout our wedding day while quietly capturing everything behind the scenes. The final photos and videos are incredible. They captured every emotion, detail, and special moment so beautifully that we can relive our wedding day each time we look at them. We could not be happier with the results and are deeply grateful for the memories they preserved. We highly recommend Astray Photography/Videography to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and down-to-earth team.

His attention to detail and genuine care gave us so much confidence leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day, everything didn't go perfectly according to schedule on our end, but Jack was so calm and eased the stress. He adapted seamlessly and never made us feel rushed. Instead he went above and beyond to make sure every photo we had dreamed about was captured. The special shots we specifically requested were never overlooked, and that meant so much to us. His entire team, including the videographers, were professional and wonderful to be around. We truly felt like we had people who cared just as much about our day as we did. If you're looking for someone who is incredibly talented and willing to go the extra mile to create beautiful memories, Jack is the photographer you want. We couldn't be more grateful.

When my husband and I were starting to wedding plan we ranked what types of vendors we wanted to…read moreprioritize to support the day we wanted. Photos landed in the top 3, with video close but we were going to let budget dictate it. Looking back now, we both agree that Jack and his team were the #1 vendor we booked and I can't imagine not having both photo and video done by them! From the very first inquiry phone call Jack just seemed to "get it". We were running through his portfolio galleries and bouncing ideas around from jump. And we were blown away by his preparedness! This was over a year before our wedding date and yet he knew what the expected time of sunset would be and had a preliminary timeline put together for us before we were even off a call. At the time I didn't realize how grateful I would be for that. But to my fellow Type-A brides and grooms, trust me when I say Jack is someone that makes it easy on your brain and you need him. He also explained the importance of having a wedding video in a way that didn't feel like he was trying to sell us on anything, but that he wanted us to decide what was best for US with all the information. We ended up not only moving forward with a video package, but with one that included additional hours of coverage and additional videos. I still say I'm so glad we did that almost every week! Besides being extremely talented and professional, his personality fit right in with us, our friends, and family. We were making jokes as the day started, he held space when there were emotional moments, and by the end of the night some of our best friends where coming up and asking "Where's Jack?". The same can also be said for every member of his team. Good people attract and work for good people, and you can tell that was the case. I am forever thankful to Jack and his team, and even still feel like this review doesn't give justice to the incredible experience we had with them. More than a 5 star review, I can tell you that I have recommended him to best friends, family, and even 2 different newly engaged brides I just met out in the world. And I will continue to do so!

The photos were back to us and edited in 3 days!!!!!!! He even went back and re-edited a few photos that I had minor issues with, without hesitation!!!

The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them.

Although I generally prefer not to post negative criticism, the profound disappointment regarding…read moreour wedding photography has stayed with me for the past two years. I am deeply saddened by the outcome of the photos provided by this company. We were initially promised a specific photographer, 'Josh,' based on his recommended portfolio. However, only one week before our wedding, we were assigned 'Anel,' whose work we had never seen. On our wedding day, the level of professionalism and quality of work was unacceptable: Lack of direction: There was little to no guidance on posing or lighting. The photographer made comments like, 'What was that?' or 'What's that face?' instead of providing constructive direction. Poor Technical Execution: Many family photos feature heavy, unflattering shade cast across faces. Across the entire collection, there is only one usable, direct shot of my husband and me facing the camera. Absenteeism: During the cocktail hour, which we hired the photographer to cover, the photographer was found sitting in the dressing room instead of actively taking candid photos of our guests. I actually had to seek out the photographer to initiate coverage of the event. Frankly, the final delivered collection lacked the quality and professional execution we would expect from a paid vendor. It felt like paying a friend to snap photos, not a professional with an understanding of lighting and composition. A further point of concern: not a single photo from our wedding has ever been featured on the company's website or social media. We anticipated a high level of work based on the company's advertised portfolio, and what we received fell far short of that professional standard.
