As a wedding coordinator, I have the opportunity to work with many photographers - and - Chickadee is one of the absolute best. All day she and her assistant were in the right place at the right time getting both scheduled shots, but also some of the sweetest candid shots. She is professional, energetic and really wants the couple to get the absolute best wedding photos that will bring back all the memories.
Dorothea is an incredible wedding photographer to work with! She did both our engagement and wedding day photos, and she seriously went above and beyond. Prior to the wedding day, she asked lots of questions and had us fill out a detailed form asking us exactly what we wanted to see for photos taken on our big day - she thought of so many things that as a wedding couple, you don't think of! I'd highly recommend hiring her for your photography needs. She's prompt, highly communicative, and very detail oriented. All our wedding party loved her!
Chickadee Photography & Design went above and beyond for our fall 2019 wedding! Dorothea was a pleasure to work with and took care of all of the small details with ease. She sought out creative shots and made the whole process fun. And our photos turned our absolutely gorgeous—we still receive compliments! You won’t regret choosing Chickadee Photography to capture your big day. ☺️
We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos!
It was very important to me that we work with a photographer who could honor the sacredness of the church where we were married in capturing its beauty on top of the all the special moments on our wedding day. Dorothea did an incredible job with this. What's more, she was super fun and energetic when working with our friends and family. She was always smiling and made the wedding photos a great experience for everyone.
Throughout the planning process, Dorothea was thoughtful, communicative, and flexible. When we had to make changes to our wedding due to the pandemic, she was empathetic and supportive and worked with us to adjust the photography plans accordingly. We are so thankful that we got to work with her.
Dorothea photographed our wedding day and I could not be happier with the beautiful memories she captured! She made it easy to relax and just have fun in front of the camera and forget the stress that comes with all the little details of a wedding. She truly captured the emotions that took place throughout one of the best days ever!
Really easy to communicate, very fast as responding. Definitely went above and beyond my expectations for a photographer! Lass then 24hrs before the wedding we decided to add a second photographer and she found someone so fast! Definitely recommending for everyone!
Dorothea was amazing! My new hubby and I are not photo people. I tend to feel very awkward, but Dorothea made me feel so comfortable! She is fun and bubbly and had just the right personality and attitude for the shoot. I would highly recommend her for wedding, engagement, and family shoots!!!
