I reached out to Cullen about photographing my October wedding early this year and everything was set to go. Approaching the date of our wedding, I had to send multiple emails and leave voicemails before getting a response from him. This was really frustrating for me because I like to know a game plan and a timeline and be prepared. However, I really really enjoyed Erica who came and shot our wedding, she is phenomenal, and I would give her 5 stars. I haven't seen any of our pics yet because I was told (after reaching out again one month after the wedding) that it would take 2 months before they would be ready.....which I'm not thrilled about because I was hoping to get holiday cards out to friends and family. Oh well.
Cullen ended up sending his assistants, Mike and Erica, but it didn't matter because they were both awesome, fun and professional. I highly recommend CH.
I used Cullen for my engagement photos and soon wedding photos! I knew that I wanted to capture the fall foliage but had no idea where to shoot. Cullen suggested the location and it's now one of my fiancée and my favorite spots! Our photos came out GORGEOUS!!! The foliage was perfectly captured. He directed us for ALL the shots .... I was surprised when I read reviews that said he didn't know how to direct you for poses. I feel like he asked me what I wanted but knew all the right things to do. People loved our photos. He had them back to us in just a few short weeks and there were a ton! We definitely didn't go wishing for more photos. I think he's unique and his style is unique also. I fell in love with the individuality of his portfolio on line. In addition his price was better than any other photographer I investigated and he's really responsive via email. I can't wait to work with him and his partner for my wedding! I'm confident my photos will be outstanding and will capture all the amazing moments I may seemingly miss in the whirlwind of the day. Thanks Cullen!
Thank you Cullen for your hard work and gorgeous photos! Everyone we show them to can't believe how perfectly you captured every moment and every detail. We so enjoy looking through them and reliving the day. Any bride who wants a reasonably priced photographer who will give you everlasting memories that you will love forever, call Cullen! My best friend paid almost 6,000 for her photographer and I honestly can say mine are better!!! TWO HUGE THUMBS UP!
Beautiful photos. Amazing prices. Fun to work with. You can't go wrong with Cullen Hardy Photography!!!!
Cullen did such a great job photographing our wedding. He was there to answer every question we had beforehand and then was with us all the way throughout the day even though I was so anxious! The pics were beautiful and so amazing I can't even think of any other words to describe them...the photos were so much more than we expected and we love every single one of them! Throughout the day Cullen was so fun to work with too and he really listened to all of my requests and wants. Cullen also provided videographer services for us and the two films we received were stunning! Cullen Hardy Photography gets my highest recommendation!
We had Cullen's partners Dave and Mike photograph our wedding and we were very impressed. The work was spectacular and, although we were worried about not getting Cullen, Mike and Dave squashed all those worries and our expectations were exceeded! They both arrived super early to get set and made the entire photography process go great! Their photos are stunning it's hard to pick which ones to frame we want to frame them all! If youre looking for a great photography team at a great price look no further than Cullen Hardy Photography! I've referred to all my friends and I'm so happy I didn't have to pay $5,000 for my wedding photography and, to be honest, the photos I got were actually better than many of the higher priced photographers I've seen. Thanks Cullen!
Ok so seeing some of the negative reviews about Cullen Hardy Photography I had to post my experience. Cullen photographed my wedding and he was nothing but professional and courteous. And WOW are his photos beautiful! Even during the planning process he made excellent suggestions and even sent ideas to use that we had never even considered. Cullen was with us every step of the way and, although hiring a photographer was one of the most important decisions of our wedding, we never doubted that our photos would look amazing. And they were FANTASTIC! During the day Cullen arrived early and he even stayed later than planned because the bouquet and cake cutting hadn’t been done (we were running behind ). Cullen knew exactly where to be to get the perfect shot and there were so many photos we saw that we wondered “How did he get that?” He was not intrusive but was able to instruct and help direct us when we needed it. I can’t say enough good things about Cullen and the job he did. We loved having him and our guests kept commenting how great he was. I would give him an A+++++ and if you are looking for a great photographer at a great rate do not hesitate to hire Cullen Hardy. And he’s a Dr.! Which made us feel at ease knowing he would attend to every detail, flex his creativity and not miss a thing. Thank you so much Cullen we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! We were absolutely blown away by our beautiful photos!
Cullen was amazing to work with and gave us everything we wanted and more! Cullen Hardy was professional, courteous, detailed and fun! We LOVED having him as our photographer. The photos were absolutely beautiful and we can't stop looking at them. I would recommend Cullen Hardy Photography to any bride wanting amazing wedding photos that you'll cherish forever!
Cullen took beautiful photos of my wedding and I highly recommend him! He was fun to work with and gave us amazing pictures! His photos are better than my sister's wedding who paid 3X as much!
The quality of the work on his website really drew me in but I really wish I had looked elsewhere. It was disappointing how anti-social he was and my wedding party mentioned several times how he just seemed very unhappy to be working. His wife said two words the entire day but luckily her pictures came out the best. The list of pictures I requested from him was not followed, yet he carried it around with him for the day. He was not direct enough to set up pictures and my wedding party had to instruct him on how to go about taking group shots. To pay that much money and not have a professional photographer was disappointing but it was my mistake for hiring someone who only does this as a part time job. Inexperienced and unprofessional. If the wedding size was too overwhelming then that should have been reiterated at the time of contract instead of the day of and making everyone disappointed.
Late review here, since it was last year. He photographed our second wedding reception (the first one was 2 months earlier abroad). We loved the quality of his pictures and he was very attentive to making sure to capture all details of the decoration, of my dress, the guests, etc. I just wish he had been just a little more energetic. At times, he was a bit too serious for such a happy event. Other than that, I look at the pictures he took and it makes me happy. Very good quality! Oh, he also was very easy to communicate with (my husband dealt with him directly, since I put him in charge of this second reception). I recommend this photographer to any bride in New England!
We absolutely and unequivocally recommend Cullen Hardy as a wedding photographer! So much work goes into planning for a wedding, and the day goes by so quickly. Having a photographer capture the setting, the details, the guests, and the special moments between a new husband and wife is so valuable, and we are so glad we trusted this to Cullen Hardy. We are incredibly impressed with the high quality photographs taken during our wedding, and Cullen’s professionalism. Working with him was one of the easiest and best vendor decisions of our June wedding! From my very first e-mail with Cullen, he was prompt, kind, and easy to communicate with. All of our calls and e-mails were equally positive.
We were initially drawn to Cullen’s photographs because of all of the detail shots we saw on the website, and we are so glad to have these memories of our own day! Cullen captured moments and details that we will be able to relive forever, including many that we never even saw in the excitement of the day. He and his second photographer, Katie, were present for nearly twelve hours, and were there with cameras during every moment of the day. We are so impressed with their attention to detail, kindness, and thorough work! We sent Cullen a comprehensive list of photographs that we’d like to have captured, and he and Katie got all of these and many, many, many more, that we never even thought of. The photographs are absolutely stunning, and so very well done!
On the day of our wedding, Cullen arrived to the ceremony site nearly three hours before the start of the wedding to take photographs of the venue and the groomsmen. It’s a wonderful mix of posed shots, candid moments, landscape, and detail images. Katie arrived four hours before the ceremony to photograph the bridal party at a nearby salon, getting hair and makeup done. She then joined us back at the Inn where we got ready, taking beautiful photographs of our wedding invitations, rings, flowers, and jewelry. These images are absolutely incredible. Both Cullen and Katie managed to be present for every moment, but never in the way of the events. They fit in with our wedding so well, that my family thought Katie was a friend of ours, and other guests remarked at how attentive and present the photography team was at every important and fun moment.
After our ceremony, Katie and Cullen managed to corral our huge families into group shots, and kept the groups moving along according to a timeline. Then, they drove to our reception site, taking photographs of the site and of my new husband and I. Both had such fun and creative ideas for photographs! We love how they turned out, and are also grateful that we got to enjoy cocktail hour with our family and friends as well as take many photographs. Katie and Cullen were really mindful of this, which we really appreciated.
For the rest of the night, both photographers stayed present, but were unobtrusive. They were with us for close to twelve hours! They remained energetic, happy, professional, and kind throughout the entire day. We have countless wonderful memories and hundreds of photographs to treasure from the day, thank to Cullen! A wonderful value and terrific investment for a day that we will remember for a lifetime. Many, many thanks!
Cullen was my photographer for my January 2014 wedding. He did an amazing job and I am so happy to write a glowing review for him.
Since my wedding was a morning wedding, followed by a brunch reception, I told him not to come to the house (I'm not a morning person). He was already at the church when I arrived and was able to take amazing shots of the sanctuary and exterior without anyone there.
He was very professional throughout the entire service. He was not intrusive in any way but still managed to get amazing photographs (first kiss, etc). He also made sure to get any family shots I requested after the ceremony.
He was responsive throughout the entire time I worked with him, both before and after the wedding. He has responded to my emails extremely quickly and always answered my questions.
I have TONS of photos which is so wonderful. He also uploaded them on his website as he edited them which was fun since that way I didn't have to wait to see them until they were all edited. The photos are gorgeous and he got some really amazing shots.
I highly recommend Cullen as a photographer for any event! He did a fabulous job on my wedding!
