The minute we met Cassie we knew we were making the right decision. She was easy to talk to and…read moregreat to work with every step of the way. After looking at her work online and reading reviews, we expected great photos. We got our pictures today and they are unbelievably amazing! I could have never anticipated loving pictures this much! As cheesy as it sounds, it's like looking at a fairy-tale, except it's us, our friends and family. I can't stop looking at them! I think this quote from my mom sums up Cassie really well too. "She was everywhere and got everything, but I hardly noticed her being there". My big fear with hiring someone was an overly staged, no fun, guest herding, interruption filled day. Cassie captured the story of our day beautifully and completely without interrupting the moments of the day. She even got those family photos mom wanted.

Update: Our wedding photos are back and they are gorgeous. Cassie was so professional and…read morewonderful to work with. Also, at the wedding, she and the second shooter were so comfortable interacting with guests (which is important!). Every cent we spent on our photography was worth it.

Sasha is an extremely talented photographer. She was one of the first vendors we chose when…read moreplanning our wedding, since we had already seen her work. Having been trained as a photojournalist, she captures moments as they happen, and her shots feel modern and natural. She knows so many little tricks - for example, instead of having me always hold my bouquet in front of me, she instructed me to have it handing down by my side in some shots. I look so comfortable and relaxed in those pictures, and it's something that a less experienced photographer wouldn't know to do. Nothing felt forced and we had a lot of fun with her during both the engagement shoot and the wedding. She brought a second shooter, so they could capture events happening simultaneously. She provided a standalone photobooth camera that guests could control themselves. She released a couple "teaser" photos just a couple days after the wedding, so we could start enjoying them right away. A few months later, she provided hundreds of photos on discs and worked with a company to make a beautiful flushmount album. We love looking back at our photos and we highly recommend Sasha.

I was so pleased with Sasha Haagensen's photography work that I had to add her listing to Yelp to…read moremake sure everyone knows about her! She has done a lot of photography work for me over the years I've been in Austin (session, portrait, event and product photography) and I've always been completely delighted with the photos. In fact, her product photos for my company have truly made a difference to my company (Austin Sugarworks) and helped me recently land a feature post on Daily Candy and in several other publications (Austin American-Statesman, Austin Chronicle, etc.) I know for a fact that they were drawn in by the photos, because they said so! She is great at giving direction and offering tips without being pushy. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a quality photographer.

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!

Also she had some good ideas about poses, since my husband and I are quite unnatural in front of the camera! She was also amenable to moving the location of the photo shoot when I freaked out about F1 traffic. Taelor was also really professional, especially considering she is a student. Overall we had an excellent experience.

I liked these girls a lot. Caitlin took some fabulous photos of my cats (always cats) before we left, and a bunch of lovely ones of all the ladies. Then Michael and I got engaged. Who should snap our wedding? I didn't even bother researching photographers in the area. What she was able to capture of us on August 5: WOW! So much wow. Long story short, I'm glad I listened to my gut. You should listen to ME and hire Caitlin for any engagement, wedding, and grad shoots in the Austin to Fort Worth area. No question. She's fun, professional, patient (I detest posing for things and made too many jokes and funny faces), and ridiculously talented! Fast forward a month and the photos are up and I couldn't be more pleased. Can't wait to see our wedding albums!

She…read morevisited the venue with me ahead of time to scout out locations and make sure we both understood the plan. When we were scouting it out she helped me think through the best place to propose not only for photography purposes, but also for timing. I modified my original plan based on this and am really glad I did. She definitely knows what she's doing here. On the evening of the proposal she joined me about 45 minutes before my girlfriend was scheduled to arrive so we could make sure everything was setup in plenty of time. It was a surprise (obviously), so I was super nervous. Having Lauren's calm and knowledgeable presence had a huge calming effect on me. She took of few candid shots of me waiting and preparing, which I really appreciate. When my girlfriend was scheduled to arrive, Lauren was very discrete and took lots of candid shots. After we had enjoyed some time celebrating with champagne and making a few phone calls to family, we spent a little time taking some posed shots. The photos turned out great and are something I know we'll always treasure. I'm so glad I was able to use work with Lauren to capture such a special moment.

We used Lauren's services for our Engagement pictures and destination wedding in Playa del Carmen,…read moreMexico and couldn't be happier. Everyone compliments our photographs and the beauty in Lauren's work. I told her ahead of time that my fiance wasn't very photogenic and she gave us tips throughout our sessions to help with our facial expressions, and our pictures turned out great. I also had ideas for specific pictures and shared my thoughts with Lauren and she was able to combine her skills and my vision beautifully. I did a lot of research on choosing a local photographer (i.e. in Mexico) versus taking a photographer to your wedding, and I would recommend taking your photographer because we felt more comfortable and were able to develop a relationship with Lauren after a great experience during our engagement pictures. Plus, Lauren has destination wedding experience and our photos turned out amazing! She was clearly knowledgeable about differences in indoor/outdoor lighting and everything else that you have to think about related to destination weddings. For our destination wedding, we chose the package that included Lauren and a second photographer and I would highly recommend that if it is feasible for you because it allows them to capture different perspectives at the same time. For example, my hubby's expression as I was walking down the aisle. Lauren was also great at coming up with ideas for family photos and bridal party pictures. Lauren is based out of Austin and we live in Dallas, but the fact that we were not located in the same city didn't make a difference. Lauren was quick to respond to e-mails and extremely professional. I could go on and on about how pleased we are but don't think there is anything else to say besides you won't regret your choice with Lauren Reynolds Photography.
