We had an extremely disappointing experience with this company for our wedding photography and videography. We were recommended them from our wedding planner. When we booked, we were under the impression the owners would be handling our wedding. We specifically communicated that we needed someone who could provide direction since we’re not naturally comfortable in front of the camera. However, just two weeks before the wedding, we were reassigned to a different photographer/videographer who lacked the ability to guide us through poses and key shots.
They missed multiple important moments, including our first kiss, entrance to the reception, and our T-shirt toss. We had explicitly made several requests for a photo of the bride with her grandmother and other family members, which were never taken. On top of that, we didn’t receive any sneak peek photos and had to wait an excessive amount of time for editing to get our pictures back. When we finally did, every outdoor image had a giant crane in the background—something the photographer insisted was the “best” location for photos. When asking about editing the crane out, they wanted to charge us extra, and would take another several weeks. The editors of the video/photo were not the same as the ones who shot the wedding, so we feel like they missed the over all vibe. We were given the raw footage, and even then there were gaps of video missing, that we discussed were important aspect we wanted on video previous to the big day.
To make matters worse, they uploaded our wedding video to their website for promotional purposes before even sending it to us. We waited weeks to receive it.
Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience. If you’re looking for a team that listens to your requests, captures key moments, and delivers professional-quality work in a timely manner, I would not recommend this company.
Ben and Tom were amazing to work with! They were both very easy going but did great making sure we had all of the group shots we wanted and a variety of bride/groom pics. We have so many wonderful pictures and the video is such a great recap of the whole day. They really captured our day perfectly, highly recommend!!
Ben was fantastic from the very start! We informed Ben of some wedding video styles we liked and disliked and he couldn't have created a more beautiful video of our very special day! Daniel was the lead videographer on our wedding and he was AMAZING! From the first introduction via email until the second he left for the night, we felt as if we had been friends for years! We can't thank Ben and his team enough for making all our wedding video dreams come true!
Far exceeded my expectations! Beautiful photo and video I will cherish for a lifetime.
I've known Thomas for 7 years now thanks to being a hair/makeup artist. Working in the industry for over ten years I have come to know and love many photographers but when it came to hiring someone to shoot my wedding, there was no one else I would think to use. His ability to capture moments in an editorial and artistic fashion is truly what stands out when you compare his work to anyone else. We flew him from Chicago to Oregon because I knew his personality, style and talent would be a perfect fit for our wedding, and let me tell you, he nailed it. Friends, family, acquaintances and complete strangers have been commenting on how amazing our images are, and its not because of the Pacific NorthWest, its all thanks to Thomas.
We chose Thomas to shoot both our engagement and our wedding photos. I cannot even begin to explain the wonderful job he did! There was never a lack of communication from beginning to end and he took all of our visions and my crazy ideas and made them into a reality. He captured not only the intimate moments in both sessions but also who we truly are as a couple. Our photos turned out better than I could have ever dreamed. I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you, Thomas!!!
