This review is extremely overdue. No, really. Ever since getting married in June 2019, there has not been a day over the past 6 months that I haven't spent at least one second dr...eamily staring at one of Evan's photos from our Big Sur wedding. I mean, her work is my screensaver! Let's start from the beginning though, shall we? It's time you heard this story.
One of my biggest wishes for our wedding was to have the best photographer possible. As someone who values aesthetically pleasing and artistically directed 8x12's just as much as my morning coffee, I searched far and wide into the interwebs for the perfect creative. After weeks of searching, Evan finally arrived at my digital doorstep. When I discovered her extremely dreamy work at Brides.com (NBD), I knew she was the one. I don't even want to think about a scenario in which she wasn't available. Thankfully, we never had to. From the initial email exchanges to the official meeting on June 14th, working with Evan was like working with my new super organized, extremely patient, incessantly creative, ridiculously kind BFF.
On the day of, I was a very tired bride. Turns out it's wildly difficult to sleep the night before you marry your best friend and drive off into the sunset for a three-month honeymoon. Thankfully, getting the entire day captured was not even slightly a concern of mine because Evan handled EVERYTHING. Shotlist? Covered. Accessories and gown captured like works of art? Check. Candid shots that you'll cherish forever? Done. Laughter? She helps you do that too!
One of the things I loved the most about working with Evan was her mysterious ability to blend into the background and yet provide tangible warmth from her presence all at once. When we parted ways the night of our intimate wedding, my family summed it up best: "Evan is so sweet and blended right in...but how did she manage to get that candid shot at the dinner table? We didn't even see her!" I mean, the girl is a super sleuth.
Fast-forward 204 days, and I'm printing another image for our gallery wall brought to us by the skilled eyes of Evan Hopman. Ladies, do yourselves a favor and stop your search with Evan. I promise she'll add nothing but joy, magic, and peace to your most special day.
