I started researching photographers shortly after my engagement. I talked to some over the phone, read reviews, and asked anybody who had used a photographer in the last 10 years for recommendations. After all the comparisons, one photographe...r stood out among all the others: Dana Tate. It was at our first meeting that I knew I had made the right decision to choose Dana to take my engagement photos and to photograph my wedding.
Due to a short engagement, we were hoping to have photos taken right away. Unfortunately for us, Dana was booked. However, when she had a change in her calendar, she called us and we were able to move our engagement session up sooner. Dana was awesome on the day we took the photos. She was extremely patient and the pictures turned out great. She also promptly sent the proofs, and our timeline for using photos for save-the-date cards was right on schedule.
On the day of the wedding, Dana and an assistant arrived early and right away started taking pictures. Again, she was patient with the wedding party, my guests, and even our dog, who was not cooperative. Not only did Dana accommodate all the photo requests that I had given to her in advance of the wedding, but she also suggested some creative backdrops that turned out to be some of my favorite pictures. Dana really added to the fun and excitement of our day, and through it all, she never stopped smiling.
Both our engagement and wedding proofs arrived promptly following the sessions, and we were thrilled with them all!
I can’t brag enough about Dana Tate! Her attention to detail, knowledge of her craft, and pleasant personality make her the epitome of a professional photographer. We would highly recommend her. She is the best!
Thanks, Dana. By capturing our wedding day, with all its beauty, emotion, and pure joy, you have preserved our memories that will last a lifetime.
