Todd was a miracle worker for our wedding. My husband and I both have hectic, travel-intensive work schedules and were planning our wedding from out of state, which is why we still didn’t have a photographer two months out. Fortunately, our vid...eographer referred us to Todd. By that time, I had already reviewed and passed on half a dozen photographers. As we are both in the arts, my husband and I wanted to work with someone who had a modern and artistic eye for vibrant color and contrast, interesting angles, true emotions – in both portraits and candids, and an understanding of proportions and balance, particularly between people and nature. On top of that wish list, we also had a limited budget. To my surprise, Todd fulfilled all those things. He patiently worked with us to create a package that fit our needs.
The week of the wedding, Todd proactively reached out to us to confirm day-of logistics. His expert questions uncovered a lot of things that I hadn’t thought of, which helped us to create a timeline that could accommodate all the different kinds of photos we wanted. He was calm, pleasant, and super reassuring.
Unfortunately during the day of the wedding nothing went as planned since the hair and makeup team arrived late by two hours, which was the amount of time we had allotted for pre-ceremony photos (getting ready, the first look, family, wedding party, etc.). This is when Todd’s talent for quick thinking and even faster acting became evident. He diffused what could have been a really stressful ordeal by presenting different options that would enable us to still get our shots, being realistic about what needed to be compromised, and getting everyone together for the most streamlined and efficient shoot ever. In the end, he was able to condense two hours into less than thirty minutes. Masterfully done!
Our wedding photos came out great! Even with all the rush and last-minute changes, Todd was able to capture who we are as a couple and the spirit of our wedding. Sure enough, there were some really artful photos that highlighted the gorgeous landscape of our hilltop wedding and the reception photos were exactly why we had wanted to work with him: colorful, fun, and in-action. The post-wedding support and communication has also been superb.
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Todd, particularly if you’re looking for a photographer who is modern, artistic, calm and collected, highly competent, experienced and professional, flexible, able to pivot at a moment’s notice, and wholly dedicated to his craft. Thank you so much, Todd, for being on our team. We were truly lucky to have worked with you and hope that our review helps other couples do the same!
