We hired Luke & Bre for our wedding, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were absolutely amazing- everything everyone had said about them is past reviews is true- and t...heir professionalism, knowledge, and kindness helped make both planning and the day-of event fun and stress-free.
First, day-off: I really cannot overstate how great it was to have a husband and wife team there. They had a great rapport, and we could really tell that they valued each other's opinions and recommendations for great photographs. What I really appreciated was the effort they put into getting great shots: they would take a few pictures and then look at their cameras and review each other's shots, and then make adjustments as needed. Watching them work, I really felt confident that we were getting the best possible photographs because of the close attention they paid to details like lighting, posing, and their position relative to us. They didn't just have a check-list to get through; they really put effort into looking around the venue and finding the best lighting and backgrounds for shots. In addition, they definitely helped put my husband and I at ease when posing and directing us! Neither of us have modeling experiences, and I was worried that we would be awkward or uncomfortable during some of the posed pictures. Bre did an amazing job of giving clear directions and keeping us at ease, so the poses didn't feel forced or awkward at all. But what really stood out from me, aside from their photography skills, was the way they were willing to step in to make sure the day was amazing in all aspects. When my mom couldn't get the buttons of my dress done, Bre stepped in to help her finish them; when one of the groomsmen was was missing a boutonniere, Luke had already found it and brought it back before I even realized it was gone. Every time someone tried to take a picture with me during the reception with their phone, either Luke or Bre was always around to quickly step in and get a professional photo as well. It was these little details that really made me feel like they cared not just about getting great photos but also making sure it was a stress-free day.
In addition to working with them, day-of, planning and coordinating with them was so easy and stress-free. I had to reschedule due to Covid, and not only were they accommodating while I made this tough decision, but Bre also got on the phone with me and talked with me about making this decision. As we got closer to the date, they were diligent about following up with me and creating photography schedules that I used to help schedule the rest of the event. Also, the wedding planning booklet that they was a literal LIFESAVER- it had so many amazing tips that kept everything running smoothly.
Overall, Luke & Bre were amazing, and if you're planning a wedding anywhere in the Bay Area you have got to go with them.
