For my wife and I, the wedding planning process started out like everyone else’s with an overwhelming number of choices for wedding photographers. When we met with Beau, it was lik...e talking with a friend you’ve known forever. When we decided to go with Beau Ridge as our photographer, at that time did not know how lucky we were in making that decision. We were one of the countless number of couples impacted by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Our original wedding date was April 4, 2020. After 4 rescheduled wedding dates, we finally got married in person on March 19, 2022. Throughout the two years of rescheduled wedding dates, Beau and Alyson were incredibly understanding, sympathetic and accommodating. They were reassuring, telling us that if they were in the same situation as us, they would have done the same thing (by rescheduling the wedding). My wife and I just wanted everyone to be safe at our wedding, but also understood that Beau and Alyson are running a business that needs to generate a profit. The pandemic hit everyone hard financially, and the wedding industry was no exception. The cost of everything went up. We were speechless when, through the multiple rescheduled dates, they did not raise the price over the course of the two years, when in fact, they would have been perfectly justified in doing so. We saw, through their actions, that they were good people. And we were so thankful for choosing them as our photographers.
Although we corresponded with Alyson via email over the two years, the day of our wedding was the first time we met her. Again, it was like talking with a friend you’ve known forever. Having them as our photographers put us at ease. The way they interacted with us and our wedding party, family and friends was effortless. They were organized, prepared, funny, and you could tell that due to their experience knew the shots they wanted to capture.
The end of this review is going to be unlike any other review that you will have read because at our wedding, my Mom fell on the dance floor and broke her hip. My sister went to the hospital with my Mom, and my wife and I helped to load her in the ambulance. When we went back to the wedding reception, Beau was one of the first to greet and talk with us, expressing how sorry he was that it happened and provided comfort and reassurance saying that she will be ok. Again, through that experience, we were able to see that not only were Beau and Alyson great photographers (we are getting to that part next), but they were really exceptional people who genuinely care for others.
When Beau and Alyson left the reception that night, they told us that our photos would be ready the next day. My wife and I thought that they were joking. They were not. We could not believe that yes, in fact the photos were sent to us the very next day! We were speechless when we did. We were overwhelmed by how amazing our wedding photos were!! Their talent is undeniable. The day of the wedding, my wife and I got ready at our home, thus the beginning photos were from inside and outside our home. We could not believe how Beau and Alyson could make the backdrop of the various photos look like an enchanting estate!!
If you are looking for excellent photographers, who will make you feel at ease on your wedding day, who were absolutely amazing to work with, and who are genuinely good people, then my wife and I give Beau Ridge Photography our highest recommendation.
