Photography was one aspect of wedding planning that I was not willing to cheap out or budge on. I knew after my first meeting with Desert Rose that they were the right photographer...
for my wedding! Every member of the team is the perfect blend of professionalism and personality, making us feel so comfortable from day one. Justin and Amanda were so helpful throughout the entire planning process, guiding us to make sure everything was perfectly coordinated. The day of our wedding, our photographer Justin was on time, professional, and organized, while also making us laugh and feel comfortable! Even though we have not gotten our photos back yet, the few photos that Justin showed us on the camera were absolutely incredible and I have no doubt that all of our photos will be at the same level. Thank you Desert Rose for giving us memories from our wedding to last a lifetime!
I used Desert Rose as my wedding photographer and I could not have asked for a better experience! Justin was efficient and hilarious-kept me laughing the whole time. The pictures w...
ere beautiful and there were so many great ones to choose from. From the initial phone call to receiving my pictures, Desert Rose was easy to work with, especially with all the last minute freak out questions!
Desert Rose came to the rescue when I was last minute trying to book a photographer with a certain style that I was looking for. I waited until November (silly me) and I was stuck ...
in a rut. I didnt even meet with Justin and his team when I booked, I actually did everything via phone and email because I was super busy and never had any time to get out there but that didnt take away from the super smooth and easy process it was to plan everything! Justin knew he was up to a hard task being only one photographer for an 18 person bridal party and a two huge families but guess what.. he did it! When I got my pictures back the tears started flowing all over again. I just couldn't believe how many beautiful shots he got that I didnt even notice him taking the day and night of! I wanted a photographer that was more in the background and wasnt in my face having me pose here and there and besides the bridal party photos and getting ready (which of course are all posed and staged) he did it! So many raw and real emotions were captured through his photos which made me one happy bride. Highly recommend Desert Rose!
Amanda and Justin went above and beyond and helped make our April 6th, 2019 wedding day absolutely perfect! They were incredible to work with and kept us laughing and stress free t...
hroughout the day. We are so happy with the photos that we received! Desert Rose did an incredible job of capturing natural moments throughout the day that truly tell the story of our wedding day. Some of our favorite photos from moments we didn’t even realize the camera was on us. Additionally, about two months before the wedding Justin walked us through the itinerary for the wedding day and helped ensure that all of our vendor schedules were properly aligned and that there was enough room for error. Overall we had a wonderful experience with Desert Rose and are so happy with our photos
When my fiance and I met with Justin, we knew we needed to book with Desert Rose. He understood our vision and just got us as a couple. Nothing better than being talked to like rea...
l people and not like we're trying to be bought. We had Justin for our engagement photos and what a rockstar! it was 95 degrees and humid and he sweat through it with us. I started to cry when I thought I looked like a melted puddle and all the photos would be ruined. Justin did the impossible and gave me pictures where I can barely tell I was slowly dying in the heat! We get nothing but compliments on our photos and I CANNOT WAIT to have Desert Rose photograph our wedding this March!!
The Desert Rose team is amazing!!! When planning my wedding, choosing Desert Rose was one of the easiest (and best) decisions I made! I did a lot of research on all of the photogra...
phers in the area, and the wedding photos done by Desert Rose speak for themselves. Not only are they beautiful, but they capture the couple in such a magical way. I knew I absolutely had to have this team for my wedding. When I met Justin and the team, I booked immediately. The Desert Rose team is so passionate about what they do and it shows! They have amazing communication and pay attention to detail. On the day of my wedding I had the DREAM TEAM! Justin was my main photographer. On my wedding day, the Desert Rose team was everything a bride could ask for. They arrived early, they knew exactly what to do and began right away! This team is so incredibly professional and gave my wedding day a sense of organization. Justin made sure that I got every photo I previously requested and helped keep us on schedule throughout the day. When we got our photos back all we could say was WOW! Not only did they give us an incredible amount of photos, but they captured EVERY moment. They captured pure emotion in their photos that take me right back to my wedding night and for that I am forever grateful. I 100% recommend the Desert Rose team to anyone who wants to work with a professional and knowledgeable team, who is honest and kind, will keep you laughing and takes the best photos in Houston! Thank you, Justin and the entire Desert Rose team!!!!
I'd give Desert Rose a 500 star review if I could. From first meeting Amanda who laid out all of our options very clearly, to Justin making sure every single thing we wanted on our...
wedding day was timed out perfectly and listed for the photographers, to the day of, it was top notch service and kindness every step of the way. Justin was extremely friendly and patient with every request, and real perfectionists when it came to positioning and lighting. We are dying to see the final products of their work and can't express our gratitude enough!
My husband and I used Desert Rose for our wedding in July and could not be happier that we did! From our first meeting with Justin we knew we had to use them. He made us feel so co...
mfortable and was extremely honest with us from the beginning. We could tell that he genuinely cares about the couples he photographs. Amanda was always quick to respond to emails and patient with my questions leading up to our wedding day. We had so much fun the entire day and they made sure that we took all of the photos we wanted, along with bringing in their own creative style to capture the day perfectly. We received SO many beautiful pictures, it is so hard to choose which ones to include in our album!!
Let me begin by saying to for me, photos and video was the number 1 thing that was important for our wedding and Lotus did not disappoint. When we met with Justin for the first tim...
e we felt like we just clicked. That was so important because we knew these were people that were going to be with us all day and during some of our most vulnerable moments. They made us feel so comfortable and we were able to just have fun. My husband and I aren’t “posey” people and we felt like they just got that. Not only were they good people, but they are amazing at what they do. They got so many amazing candid pictures and those our favorite ones from the day. They were able to capture the love and fun we all were having without telling us to pose in certain ways. I’m so happy with our photos and can not wait for the video! Thank you Desert Rose! We recommend you to everyone and anyone!!
My husband and I used Desert Rose for our wedding and were blown away by how perfect everything went. They help you from beginning to end. They made sure we had plenty of time to g...
