y balances being involved enough in the event to capture and prolong our joyous memories and the importance of allowing the couple to be in the moment in our celebration and not focused on the photography. We did a phone interview where Liam helped us think through the wedding day and how to incorporate the photography and memories without it being central to our celebration. He made sure to also check-in with my husband, who is a bit quieter than me, to ensure he also got the photos and moments he wanted for him and his family members. He has a detailed planner beforehand, both in terms of time and which locations and group shots are essential. He was key to building a plan that minimized the stress of rushing and posing while maximizing our time at the party dancing with our family and friends. That being said, we still had incredible posed photos! We had a non-traditional 4 hour cocktail-hour style wedding and Liam was very flexible. He prioritized knowing our personalities and wedding style to making small suggestions that enhanced our day and photos. Liam was excellent as a director of group shots. He knew when to politely and gently ask people to adjust their position or take off their jackets. It made for incredible group shots that we have framed in our house as well as multiple family members houses. The photos perfectly captured our wedding day from natural posed couple shots, to the chaotic fun of the dance floor. Incredibly, Liam was both present without being overbearing. I saw him throughout the night, and it was easy to pull him aside to take certain group shots. But it didn’t feel like I was being followed or constantly had flashes in my eyes. When we got to look at the photos we were amazed how the he was able to capture each moment up close, even shots as if from within groups dancing. In addition, the amount of photos was perfect: divided into albums by posed, ceremony and reception. While the focus of the photos was my husband and I, at a 110 person wedding almost everyone is present in at least one of the images. He was able to capture the personalities of many of my family members on an off the dance floor. He even got multiple shots of my grandmother smiling, which we have never been able to photograph in 80 years. Every time we go through the photos we see something new and fun that Liam managed to capture. Finally, Liam made them very easy to buy, share and download. He was always responsive, polite and thoughtful and we highly recommend him and his work. The only thing I regret is not writing a review sooner. We are just so grateful for your eye, time, excellent work and in your words “our collaboration.”
