When reviewing her portfolio, we loved her classic, clean, and timeless photos. She remained professional throughout our time working with her. From the initial call, to coordinating our engagement photos, and to the days leading up to our wedding day, she communicated with us effectively and really took the time to understand what was important for us. She is very calm and has a great eye for detail. Taralynn Lawton takes her craft very seriously, and understands that photography is a mix of art and discipline. She photographed our vision well and we are in love with the wedding photos! Thank you, Chieu & Stephen

I have spent 10+ years planning my clients' weddings, so when it was my turn to say "I do", I had a…read morebit of an advantage knowing where to start. The first assignment I give to all clients (and therefore gave to myself) is to determine your priorities as a couple. For Dustin and I, photography was at the top of our list. We wanted to take our time on this decision, because when the day has come and gone, all you have left are the memories in your heart and the photos. Dustin and I connected with several photographers and when everything was said and done, we decided that Taralynn was the gal for the job. Not only did we love her classic, clean and crisp captures, but found that her portfolio was the most consistent, meaning every shot was a "printable image" not just a select handful like others in her field. Beyond her talent behind the camera, we were also taken by her down-to-earth demeanor. From planning phone calls, engagement photos and the wedding day, Taralynn continued to operate from a place of professionalism, ease and grace. Here is a FACT about your wedding day - you are going to spend the most amount of time that day with your photographer; therefore, it is critical that you vibe with that person. In my experience - the best personality fit for most clients is a person that is cool, calm and collected - Taralynn is precisely that. I loved having her by my side all day - my unofficial eighth bridesmaid. My husband is a bit of an introvert, Taralynn made him feel comfortable behind the camera immediately and captured his essences to a T. She was the perfect addition to a perfect day. When we got the photos back, Dustin and I looked through them no less than 5x that first night. Taralynn did the near impossible - exceeded my very high expectations. The versatility of the captures (day to night, portraits to action shots, environmental to the minute details) were beyond impressive. The images are stunning and will bring us joy for years to come.

We met Cindy and Sharon during a pride parade in Atlanta, GA. They drove their car through the…read moreparade, promoting their wedding photography business by offering free engagement photo sessions. My fiancée and I were ecstatic! We were even more ecstatic when we finally got to meet and work with them. Cindy was very easy to communicate with and very open to learning about us and our relationship, which made working together so much more fun and personable! After our shoot, we all went to coffee together and talked about the struggles and blessings of being a part of the LGBTQ+ community. Cindy is a phenomenal photographer (one of our engagement photos even won her an award!!), but she is so much more than that. She is worth giving your money to. She genuinely cares for the people she meets, and that is exactly the kind of photographer we were hoping to find. She has been a dream - thanks Cindy!!

We originally hired Cindy to do our engagement photo session only, since we were having a…read moredestination wedding. Cindy was patient and persistent in scheduling our photo shoot around our very hectic lives. As a joke, my fiance suggested we do the shoot at a mud run we had entered. Cindy loved the idea and ran with it! The pictures of us, covered in mud, are better than most people's pictures where they are clean and beautiful in Piedmont Park. Because we loved the pictures that Cindy did for our engagement session, we opted to fly her to Mexico with us to shoot our wedding as well! Again, Cindy's shots were amazing. I wish we had known ahead of time what to expect from our Mayan ceremony, but even going in completely unprepared for what was to occur (due to a language barrier) Cindy was still able to get all the important shots! Cindy and Sharon truly became part of our family and we loved having them with us. When we came home, Cindy put together the most amazing album for us. (This may border on TMI but this was my third wedding however it was the first time I got the professional wedding album.) Cindy removes the overwhelming project of sorting through the thousands of great shots and arranges them for you with an artistic eye. The one thing I would recommend is being prepared for the album upgrade, you'll want more than the standard 30 pages as you will have too many amazing photos to choose from. Overall, I would highly recommend C Brown Photography for your special event!

Her smile and southern hospitality made me feel like we'd been friends for ever, the photographs she had on display as well as the attention to detail she put into her booth made it look like it jumped off my Pinterest board. Tessa is wonderful with communication; asking questions, preparing a detailed (but flexible) timeline, and explaining her methods. While sweet, she is a take control lady & is by no means a pushover if someone gets in the way of what the bride wants ~ she is 100% on your team! She dresses professionally on your big day and is all everywhere at once it seems, making sure every detail and tiniest moment are captured. The photos speak for themselves :D :D :D The proverbial nail in the awesome box was the detail put into the way she sent my photos to me in the mail, an amazing and personal finale. THANK YOU TESSA! I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again

Additionally, proposing over Thanksgiving weekend requires planning far in advance to be sure that all of your options for photographers are not out of town. I, stupidly, did not appreciate that fact until it was two days prior to my proposal and I frenetically decided to change photographers. After numerous strike outs, a deep dive on Yelp brought me to Gianna's page. She, fortunately, was one of the few well-reviewed photographers available for a last minute proposal shoot. Booking with her occurred breezily through email and Venmo, and Gianna remained in constant touch in the days leading up to the proposal. On the day of, Gianna was responsive, punctual, and professional. She kept in touch and remained flexible despite some unforeseen snafus in planning. Even after the big moment, Gianna worked patiently with us. She and her assistant wrangled my rowdy group with ease and spent plenty of time to ensure our special day was captured ideally. We received a sneak peek gallery from the session two days later and the pictures turned out incredible. Even better, her prices were totally reasonable. If we decide to do an engagement shoot or anything else requiring high quality pics, Gianna will be the obvious choice.

After poring over dozens of photographers' portfolios, websites, reviews, and Instagram pages, my fiancee and I, with the help of our wedding planner (Wedding Belles), decided on Leigh Wolfe of Leigh Wolfe Photography. We are very happy with Leigh. We decided on Leigh for a few reasons: 1. Her pictures look great. Her pictures are bright, clear, vivid, and crisp. They have a timeless look to them. She captures events really well. I like the composition and angle of her shots. Other photographers have trendy looks that I'm not keen on (for example, some like to use a "faded" or "filtery" look which I don't want on my wedding photos). 2. She is familiar with our venue, the Atlanta History Center and Swan House. 3. She was recommended by our wedding planner. (We found Leigh independent of our planner as well.) 4. Her packages were within our wedding budget. Before hiring Leigh, we had an initial meeting with her and our wedding planner. We got to know her and take a look at some of her work in person (she brought samples). Leigh has an outgoing, fun, and positive attitude, all of which I think are ideal qualities for a wedding photographer. Her website is a great extension of her personality (https://bit.ly/2VkjKno). You can really get a good feel for her there. Her website and Facebook (http://bit.ly/2H5MEiw) and Instagram (http://bit.ly/2H3E8PH) pages are well done. She uses HoneyBook for proposals, project management, payments, and communication. She's on top of everything and a good communicator. More reasons to have confidence in her. When we made it official with Leigh, we received an unexpected thank you package in the mail. It contained a personal handwritten thank you card from Leigh and various goodies including a bottle of Prosecco. We went with the Signature Collection. It comes with a lot of stuff including 9 hours of wedding day coverage with a 2nd photographer plus a complimentary engagement session, wedding and engagement albums (65 images in a 10x10 wedding album, 25 images in an 8x8 engagement album), a complimentary wedding website and heirloom registry, and more. Leigh helped us decide on our engagement session locations. We wanted to do something in Atlanta and she knows the city well. Our engagement session ended up taking place at Irwin Street Market, the BeltLine, Jackson Street Bridge, and Atlantic Station (where we live). Atlanta means a lot to my fiancee and me and I was really happy with the locations. Our engagement session with Leigh was a lot of fun. She came prepared with her holster of cameras and camera equipment. Shooting with her was a breeze. I just did what I was told. She directed us. She told us where to stand, how to walk, where to look, and how to pose. Her cheerful and energetic personality made the shoot easy. She really put in the work and effort to get us some amazing shots. The engagement session ended up lasting about 3 hours (!) which is longer than the typical session. That was because we went to multiple locations and had to contend with less-than-ideal weather. Also, I asked Leigh if we could go to an extra location so that took additional time. I realize and appreciate that she went above and beyond for our engagement session. We met with Leigh about two weeks after our engagement session to look at all of our engagement photos. This was called the reveal and design session. She had taken about 800 photos and culled them down to 91. From those 91, my fiancee and I chose our favorites, which turned out to be 48 photos. Those 48 photos ended up going into our engagement album which Leigh designed with input from us. Since the Signature Collection we purchased only included 25 photos in our engagement album, we did have to pay for 23 additional photos. I did not hesitate paying because I thought it was worth it. Considering the amount of work and effort she puts in, I think her prices are fair and reasonable. Along with the hard album, we got digital versions of the 48 photos and a video slideshow with music. My fiancee and I love the pictures. They turned out phenomenal, especially considering it was cold, rainy, and windy during our shoot. We couldn't be happier with them. As for the hard album, it's fantastic. It's very high quality with extra thick pages and wonderful textures. The album flows well and it feels good to hold. Leigh even hand-delivered it when it was ready. One thing that really sets Leigh apart from the competition is how personable she is. She has taken a lot of time to meet and get to know us as a couple. Not only is she practical when it comes to photography, but she's also very much about the experience and making her clients feel special. This caters more towards brides, but as a groom, I appreciate her going that extra mile too. We're excited for Leigh to shoot our wedding next year!

I can't have imagined a better person to be there with us through this journey and to have provided us with these photographic memories that will last a lifetime!
