5 stars is not even close to enough!!! Chayil is my new best friend. From the first message, she’s not only been super professional— she’s brought the most amazing energy to every interaction, she thinks of EVERYTHING so you don’t have to, and she really curates the best vibe to produce the most amazing pictures. I cannot overstate how wonderful she is— our entire bridal party adored her and we got so many comments about how on top of it she was. If you’re looking to just relax and turn your brain off for your wedding, and for a seriously bubbly, charming, fun hype woman to bring out the best in you for your wedding album, look no further because Chayil is it! 1000 out of 10 🤍
