Devin is nothing short of a professional! He took a lot of time to get to know us and meet us before hiring, to fully understand the types of pictures we wanted and the event we were having. He took some amazing pictures, worked seamlessly with our friends and family and was able to capture the candid shots we wanted to share with our loved ones. We just got the photos in and they are WONDERFUL, big THANK You to Devin!
What an amazing experience working with Devin! He did such a fantastic job at capturing the day so perfectly. Our pictures of us, our bridal party, and family are so beautiful and his candid shots of the ceremony and reception are so fun. Looking at all the pictures took us right back to that day.
Devin did awesome job at catching the candid photos and all the our guest were impressed with his editing!
Devin was so great to work with throughout the entire process - which included a year delay due to the covid pandemic. He is an excellent communicator and was incredibly receptive to our wants and needs. He's polite but direct because he knows what he needs to get the best shots. His attitude was excellent as well - he has such a calm demeanor and is incredibly personable. We shared many laughs over the course of our planning and shooting. He helped us stay relaxed throughout our wedding which helped create great photos.
Devin also has a great ability to blend into his surroundings and doesn't draw attention away from what he is shooting. His candid shots are especially strong because of that ability. He does a thorough job of studying the location, arriving early and finding the best lighting and background for photos.
Devin's final product was amazing. His editing is FAR superior to other portfolios we've seen. We are so incredibly happy with how he handled our photos.
Overall, Devin was an absolute joy to work with and we look forward to working with him in the future to capture more of our special moments.
Devin was the best photographer I could have asked for my wedding. He came early to the venue the day of to find the best spots for shooting pictures, easy to get along with, and just overall really knew what he was doing. Leading up to the day of, and the days after, he was easy to contact and was very responsive. I chose him because I noticed that he took a lot of really great candid pictures, and he did the same for me! The posed pictures were also great, of course! The editing made the pictures better and brighter, and not filtered looking, which is the look that I was going for. If I had to pick again, I wouldn't pick anyone different!!!
Devin did an amazing job with our wedding photos.
We got married during the COVID pandemic and Devin helped us every step of the way. We had to cancel our large wedding and scheduled a smaller one in its place and Devin was more than accommodating. He was willing to work with us through all the changes and drive a much farther distance to our different venue. He kept good contact and was professional throughout the entire process. We were very pleased with his services and would definitely recommend him.
Devin was an amazing. He flowed with the day seamlessly and provided all we hoped for and more. The quality of his work in person and after the event (edits) was excellent. Highly recommended!
Devin took SUCH incredible photography for our wedding. After browsing tons of photographers, I was amazed at the quality of his photos for his affordable price. What struck me was the beautiful coloring of his photos, how each one seemed to be edited immaculately to truly capture the emotions of the moment.
What I liked about Devin's service is that he provides you with not thousands of photos edited in bulk, but instead hundreds of photos edited beautifully. Personally, I knew I would rather have quality over quantity and I appreciate went above and beyond to deliver on this quality.
Throughout the entire process, Devin was easy and enjoyable to work with. He's such a chill guy and did a great job corralling my crazy family after our ceremony. His careful planning made it easy for me to plan the morning of my wedding with confidence that we would have enough time to get everything done and capture some wonderful moments.
I can't thank Devin enough for everything he did for us! Thank you for the beautiful photos of our special day!
Devin was incredibly kind, professional, and calm in both the planning process and on our wedding day. It was an absolute delight to work with him and his photos are AMAZING! Would 100% recommend working with him.
If you aren't your stereotypical bride, or even if you are, meeting with wedding vendors can be absolutely exhausting. Talking with strangers is never one of my favorite tasks, and talking about myself is about my bottom 5, so combining those two efforts was a tough sell for me, until we met Devin. Devin was absolutely calming, delightful, comforting, and interested in making our day as easy as it could be while capturing some amazing moments. My focus for the wedding photos was primarily on getting pictures of everybody having the time of their lives, and Devin did just that. We got so many amazing candids (ones that made my husband say "how was he always there, i laugh, he's there, I give somebody a high five... there") and some absolutely beautiful portraits (that made me say... "Wow...we could be famous".. maybe not that far, but they are awesome), to hang up in our house. Devin was great at taking the stress of the day and making sure we were focussed on what was truly important, making memories, not photos (even though he managed to make those happen too). Absolutely recommend, 10/10.
Devin really excels in couple portraits and candid shots. We used him for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. His price is super affordable for the quality of work you receive. He could easily be charging 3 times as much for the kind of work he does, but he likes for everyone regardless of budget, to enjoy his beautiful photographs.
When I started looking for a wedding photographer, there were just two things I was looking for: a portfolio with beautiful candid photos, and an editing style that I personally enjoy. I got lucky because Devin was one of the first photographers I looked into.
We worked with Devin for our engagement shoot beforehand because my husband and I are awkward and somewhat quiet. We thought that would help us relax and get better pictures for the wedding. Turns out that was totally unnecessary because Devin is so laid back and chill that he was VERY easy to work with, even when dealing with a couple that doesn't necessarily enjoy being in front of a camera. Devin's demeanor was something both our wedding party and guests noticed and appreciated in our laid back wedding.
I am so glad that we went with a photographer whose strength lies in candid photography. Our formal pictures were pretty as formal pictures usually are, but our candid pictures? TO DIE FOR. We got to see so much that we missed or were just unable to appreciate in the chaos that is in a wedding day. A new mother looking down on her newborn, children climbing a tree, my mom laughing so hard she cried, people dancing, a flock of birds flying overhead. So many little moments make a wedding.
I admit I budgeted heavily for photography so I could get the best possible photographer I could find especially since I didn't want video for our wedding, the photos had to be strong enough to really capture moments on their own, my friends and family that were handy with cameras weren't going to be able to do that, but Devin sure did.
There are three things people say about my wedding today. They say it/we were beautiful (because they feel they have to), they love our wedding photos, and it was FREAKING HOT (outdoors in September, who knew?)
Devin was great - super friendly, had great ideas for shots that would make us and our guests look our best, and always willing to work with us to make us happy! Definitely recommended.
Devin was great to work with and did an awesome job of making the photo shoot feel natural. A pleasure to work with and very happy with the results!
It was such a joy to work with Devin. He is laid back and relaxed, which is definitely a good thing during the high tension/excitement of a wedding! He was great at getting us to feel natural in posed pictures and perfectly captured memories in candid ones as well. My husband and I loved working with Devin and would highly recommend him
Devin is an amazing photographer.. He has the photographic experience and intuitive sense in order to capture moments that others miss... His pictures convey the feeling tone of the moment and carry the story line throughout the photo album with flawless continuity. We love this Guy...
The process of choosing a photographer for our wedding was simplified with Devin. He made us feel comfortable and confident that all the great moments that day would be captured. During one of our first meetings he told us one of his main goals of the day is to capture candid moments of people in what they see as their best picture ever--I think he accomplished that with so many of our guests! Definitely would recommend him for any event where you want to really gather candid moments!
Devin was very responsive to all communication and captured amazing photos of us, our family and our guests at our outdoor summer wedding. Everyone looked great in the group photos, our couple photos really captured us well and the candid shots at the reception were phenomenal!
We found Devin through a friend's wedding where he took the best candid picture of us ever. He was so accommodating with us throughout the day. At the end of his time with us, he asked if there was any other shots we wanted and stayed to take those. He blended into our wedding seamlessly and helped capture some beautiful memories!
Devin was great to work with and his photos turned out amazing. It was a short day (for a wedding), but there were tons of great photos from the ceremony and reception as well as traditional family post-wedding photos. Leading up to the event, we had a long conversation about expectations and there were no surprises. During the event, he was very calm and just did his job. He also surveyed the venues beforehand to determine best locations for photos. Devin is a very talented photographer and takes great care to ensure his product is of highest quality.
We were so lucky to find Devin when we did! Paying for our own wedding we wanted to stay as close to our budget as we could, and he was kind enough to offer options to fit what we needed. He was so friendly, our whole wedding party really enjoyed him. He took the initiative to scout locations for photos. He was on time and really helped keep everything and everyone on task! Our photos came out beautiful! He really took his time to get photos of almost everyone at our wedding. Weddings are stressful to begin with so having someone so easy going to help you get through the day let us enjoy every minute! Thank you Devin!
Devin did such a great job capturing our big day. He is so easy to work with and really makes sure he gets all the special moments. He spends so much time on the photos to make sure they are perfect. We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out!
After searching for months for a photographer, I chose Devin for my October 3rd wedding, and after getting our pictures back I have no doubt it was the BEST choice! I wanted a lot of candid, in-the-moment pictures. He definitely understood what I was looking for, and that is what I got. He did a great job incorporating the uniqueness of our venue in the pictures, and thought quickly to find indoor locations for photographs since it ended up raining that day. He worked well with my family and was very respectful. He accommodated well for time, as we were behind schedule a bit, and kept us going. We have wonderful pictures of ourselves, as well as our guests. Thank you so much Devin!!
We used Devin for our engagement photos, and he was great to work with. He made us feel comfortable and was able to get really beautiful shots. When we got the photos back we were very impressed with the editing and the colors he was able to capture. We are very much looking forward to using Devin as our wedding photographer as well.
Devin was really great to work with. He made sure we prepared beforehand, while being sure that we got all the pictures that we wanted. Devin was punctual, and he took his time to get a feel for the location before we got going. He was professional, yet easy-going and flexible when our schedule was thrown out of whack by other circumstances. Our pictures arrived quickly and he definitely caught some great candid moments. We love our pictures, and are very happy that we chose Devin to photograph our wedding.
Devin was a great addition to our perfect day. My husband and I are both camera shy and Devin definitely kept that in mind while photographing our wedding. At certain points throughout the evening I thought, "My photographer needs to catch this" I looked out into the guests and there he was with his camera. He was a delight as a guest too! All of my guests met and liked his open personality which shows in the pictures he captured. Devin is an excellent choice for a wedding photographer.
Devin was an absolute dream to work with. He was in constant contact leading up to the wedding to make sure all the details were squared away. He was super patient with all of my questions and took the time to answer all of them.
He's incredibly easy-going and did a wonderful job of capturing all of the moments that were important to us during our wedding. The pictures came to us very quickly and we are in love with the results. They make me smile every time I look at them and am so grateful that we had Devin there to shoot the day.
You put a TON of work into planning every detail of your wedding, invite all your favorite people in the world and the day sweeps you away through the current of events.
Devin has an incredible eye for all those important moments-- beginning to end, big and small-- that you hope to never forget, and he shoots them with true attention and care. On top of his obvious passion for the art of photography, it was honestly a pleasure to have him present throughout our day. He got along and worked so well with all of our family and friends, we were all able to really be ourselves around him and even our formal photo session felt relaxed and fun. The images he captured at my wedding are absolutely stunning, and I revisit them often. Good photography was the most important thing to me when figuring out the budget for our wedding... Devin was worth every single penny and then some.
I found Devin fresh out of college and eager to work. From my first impression of Devin over the phone I knew he was the right person to capture our special day. Devin was attentive, listened to us and really worked with our personalities! We are so pleased with Devin's work.
