They helped us decide on the best locations around the city to take pictures and they directed us through the entire process, which was extremely helpful since neither of us had done a professional photo shoot before. They got a lot of great shots of the venue and the decorations and took a lot of wonderful pictures during the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. Every time I was with a friend or new group of people, it seemed that one of the photographers was there to capture the moment. I really appreciated how proactive they were, but they were also open to us asking them to take whatever pictures we wanted. They sent us the link to our pictures just a couple days after our wedding, which was very exciting! We loved how the pictures turned out. As I told Steve...I don't know how they did it, but they made us look good. :) They were both wonderful to work with, and we would highly recommend them!

Not only are the photographs unique, professional quality and beautifully done, but Fender was also an absolute blast to work with. We chose to have pictures shot prior to the ceremony, which I recommend doing, and everyone involved keeps talking about how much fun it was. Fender was interactive, kind as ever, and willing to work with us in creating nontraditional but still fantastic poses. (Yes, the cover of the movie Bridesmaids was recreated). I have been told by multiple people that the images are ones you'd see straight out of a wedding magazine. In short, if you are in need of professional photos, call Fender. His work is nothing short of amazing.

Jim Fender is a true professional, an expert in his field, a fabulous guy to be a around and a fair and honest businessman.

Did we go a little cheaper on certain things such as the dress and the centerpieces in order capture lasting memories....Absolutely!! When you are 80 years old and are looking back at your wedding are you honestly going to think about the open bar, the favors, the expensive shoes, the centerpieces? No!

We can't wait to use them again for my children's senior photos, anniversary pics and maybe even new baby pics! Thank you Jim Fender for being part of our day and preserving our precious memories. We will be forever grateful!

We have gotten so many compliments from all our friends and family about both our engagement and wedding photos from Wes. They were able to capture so many emotions from our beautiful wedding day. Even his slideshow brought my maid-of-honor and I to tears. Working with Wes from the very beginning has been a dream and he is by far our most favorite vendor. During our initial meeting, Wes took extensive time to explain his photography style and show us examples. The icing on the cake was his experience working with cultural weddings. My husband and I were planning on having a traditional Chinese tea ceremony and wanted to have it captured on photos. It was so refreshing for Wes to already be familiar with the ceremony and even examples of past tea ceremonies he captured! My husband and I were floored by how the photos turned out and all the neat little moments he captured of our loved ones in the background of the ceremony. Our wedding day could not have gone better. His experience helped us plan a nice wedding day timeline that eased the nerves of an anxious bride. He is so detail-oriented and fantastic with communication - which I value so much in a wedding vendor. Wes and Necia were so patient and went the extra mile to capture all the best shots. All of the photos turned out amazing and was a true artwork of our love story. We are beyond excited to work with Wes again to put together our album. Wes and Necia was the best wedding investment by far and we would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a talented photographer!

If you're looking for someone who can capture more than just images but the true essence of your day, look no further.

Communication leading up to the big day was smooth and reassuring -- every question was answered quickly, every detail was thought through, and they made the entire experience feel effortless. On the wedding day, the team showed up ready to go and immediately put us at ease. They were warm, friendly, and knew exactly how to guide us without ever making anything feel posed or forced. They captured everything -- the big emotional moments, the tiny in-between ones, and all the energy in the room -- without ever feeling intrusive. Their balance of directing when needed and letting moments naturally unfold was spot-on. The photos and videos themselves are stunning. They somehow managed to bottle up the joy, energy, and emotion of the day in a way we'll treasure forever. The edits are clean, timeless, and beautifully done, and the video footage feels like a true story rather than a montage. They also provided multiple formats and options, which we really appreciated.  Our families and friends haven't stopped talking about how talented the team was -- and we couldn't agree more. If you're looking for a photographer and videographer who are professional, creative, and genuinely invested in making your wedding memories perfect, we couldn't recommend This is Feeling more highly.
