Blaine is simply the best, there's no better way to put it. We are incredibly lucky that he was available on our wedding date, and while it was our biggest splurge, it was totally worth it. Blaine's services are pricey, but that is because he i...s truly phenomenal. He was super available and helpful in the months leading up to the wedding (we met and spoke over the phone several times, and he has an amazingly helpful planning worksheet that truly helped me with every area of planning, not just photography), and he was beyond professional on the wedding day. Blaine and his team were so fun, easygoing, and helpful in wrangling our families and guests into the necessary groupings to get all of our pictures done - no easy task since we had 2 toddlers in the wedding and a fairly large extended family that all wanted portraits done. I have also been to several weddings in the past where the photographer likes to be bossy and controlling with the family, which I don't like, but Blaine and his assistants could not have been further from that - they were so kind and enjoyable to be around that it felt like they were guests at the wedding who just happened to be taking amazing pictures. Blaine and team arrived early in the day for getting ready photos and stayed through the end of the evening, always present but not overbearing and with smiles on their faces the entire time. Working with Blaine was truly a pleasure, and when we saw the photos from our wedding day we were absolutely blown away - they are so stunning, and we're thrilled with our choice to have this team capture our day. If you can get Blaine, do it - you won't regret it.
