Bultedaob Photography

We truly cannot say enough good things about Christiana and Daniel. If you take anything from this review, let it be this: Hire them now! I've seen them in action on 3 weddings, including my own, and they blow expectations out of the water every. single. time. Working with them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. "Going above and beyond" doesn't even begin to describe it. They MADE our wedding day, truly. Where to even begin? Let me count the ways... they are not only the most talented photographers I've seen: their style is drop-dead gorgeous, they make sure you get what you want out of your photos, and they have a beautifully magical way of capturing the *essence* of each moment in a way that brings tears to my eyes - and not just the big moments, but every tiny detail and moment in between that brings the memories to life every time I look at the photos. (Check out their instagram to see their latest beautiful work: instagram.com/thebultedaobs/) They are also some of the most kind and caring people I've had the pleasure of knowing. They care about you as a whole person, not just as a client. (Christiana is one of the best cheerleaders I've met and she has an amazing way of making you feel beautiful and confident). They also help wherever and whenever they can, even if it goes way beyond the scope of a "photographer's job". They bring SO much expertise of the wedding industry and use that to not only make sure you have the best experience possible, but they also can (and often do) help navigate unforeseen wedding situations and help you make the best of it. Also, do not be afraid to tell them if there's an element of photos or style that you don't like (or if you have any insecurities you want to maybe not highlight in your photos) - they take feedback incredibly well and can balance your requests with their expertise and creative eyes to truly partner with you. They kept us laughing and smiling every single time they photographed us (which is saying a lot, noting that my husband is very introverted). They made us feel comfortable and cared for and carefree. They not only captured the experience of the most important day of our lives... they contributed to it and made it special, in every sense of the word. We will be hiring them for every major life event we have going forward!! P.S. Make sure to add videography to your package as well. Our wedding video is now one of my most prized possessions. You will NOT regret it!!

My fiancé won free engagement photos through a social media drawing. After exchanging emails back and forth it was decided that we were going to book a time and date for the spring. This was back at the end of October. We started reaching out early February to schedule with them and were not able to reach anyone. When we finally did connect with them they told us that they gave the prize to another couple because they hadn't heard anything from us. Their excuse was that they didn't think we wanted the pictures anymore because they had not heard from us. They never checked back with us to see if we were still interested, which obviously we were considering how expensive engagement photos can be. They also said that they do not follow up with clients because the frequently get "ghosted" and it is "part of the business." To me this is a very poor business model to not follow up with potential clients after a plan was already in place. In regards to them cancelling our agreement, there was no posted information saying that we could lose out on our prize if we did not book by a certain time or failed to respond. When we spoke over the phone telling them we were still interested and hoping that they would still honor what they promised us they said that they would have to look at their schedule and get back to us. They never did. This left us frantically looking for a new photographer and having to readjust finances for our wedding considering that we were no longer getting free engagement photos. I cannot express how disappointed we were when we found out they simply just gave the prize away considering the costs involved in planning a wedding. Very unprofessional and I would encourage everyone to look elsewhere.
