Laura and her team were wonderful to work with. Laura was receptive to our needs to capture candid shots as much as possible, which we loved seeing in the final shots. She was equally responsive to any questions we had and also provided ample details for any technical needs once we had our pictures, such as sharing, ordering, etc. We would recommend 9ten Photography for your next event! Thanks, Laura!
Planning a wedding across the country was a project, and one of the things I was most worried about was photography - Laura made it a piece of cake. She was wonderful, professional, and incredibly flexible. We did our engagement shoot the summer before the wedding at a time when my fiancé and I were visiting Massachusetts, and I knew right away I had picked the right photographer. The resulting galleries were stunning. Thank you so much!
