Evan captured everything and more that we could have hoped for in our family photos. We love them sooo much. It was an investment worth making without a doubt. And her attention to...
detail, her edits, her style and professionalism are Incomparable.
She put our whole family, Including our 16-year-old dog, at ease and there is not one photo that we do not absolutely love and know that we’re going to cherish forever. She made each member of the family feel like this was special for them. No one was left out. She took wonderful time with each setting.
The hardest thing now is knowing which one I want to put in a frame. They all brought tears to my eyes. She captured all the moments and more. This is not a gift for one person in the family. It’s truly a gift for everyone. So happy we did this together

Evan is beyond intentional and thoughtful when it comes to her work and the experience she leaves her clients. She pays close attention to how everyone feels and absolutely no impo...
rtant moment gets lost. It’s very apparent that she notices all the important expressions, interactions, and quiet in-between moments. Those around her feel comfortable being themselves, which makes the photos automatically feel natural and authentic. I am always left in awe when I see the final product! I can’t express enough how much each image feels meaningful. Evan takes the kind of photos that will stay with families for generations and she takes that job seriously. There is not doubt that she cares about her work deeply and the people she photographs, Evan is absolutely the one to trust.

nd took photos I didn't think about, but am so glad she captured. Her assistant Jessica was incredible as well, fluffing dresses, putting every hair in place, and even fanning me, my mom, and others when needed (Arkansas in July)! They were such a thoughtful team, their work is high-quality, and their communication is thorough. If you want a photographer who is going to going to make you look and feel beautiful on your big day, BOOK EVAN!

For our wedding day we wanted to feel authentically ourselves while enjoying real moments with the people we love. And I had every confidence that Evan would capture exactly that. ...
I couldn’t be happier with our photos and she was a real calming presence the day of.
Being in front of the camera has never felt natural for myself or my husband. However, for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos Evan helped us relax and she really caught us in a beautiful and romantic way. She’s one of the BEST choices we made for one of the most important events of our life.

Evan is a dream come true!
Not only did she go above and beyond our expectations, she met us at where ever we needed. Her professional yet approachable demeanor eased mine and my h...
usbands concerns instantly. While we only conversed via FaceTime and email, every correspondence with Evan enjoyable. Very quick responses as well!
During the big day, Evan's presence captured every moment perfectly! She took command of the family photos and was super flexible when it came to different family combinations and time allotments. My husband is not the most comfortable in front of a camera lens, yet Evan put him right at ease. From different poses to different locations, and even family wrangling, Evan understood how to make everything work!
Photo turn around time was amazing! We even got a preview of some of the key moments. We are continuously wowed every time we walk by our stairs or show our family/friends.
Spectacular work for a very reasonable price, Evan should be very high on your list of Wedding Photographers.

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.

When I got engaged, finding a wedding photographer was on the top of my to-do list. I feel like the most important detail to pick amongst flowers, venues, and dresses is who will d...
ocument your perfect day. These photos will be what we use to remind us in 10/20/30+ years of how much fun and pure bliss we were in. So the hunt began!
Instagram page after Instagram page I searched. Email after email I sent. So many great talents exist in the market, so how would I pick? When I saw Evan Hopman Photography's page, I was blown away. The true emotion in the photos were almost palpable. The modern atheistic was exactly what I was envisioning for my big day. From intense and intimate moments to being able to capture the beautiful simplicity in every detail, I was blown away!
From the first email I sent her, Evan was a pleasure to work with! She is easy going, totally reasonable and very professional. We had multiple phone calls, emails, and texts to discuss wedding day plans and she responded quickly! She even created a wedding day time schedule for photos so that was one less thing I had to think about. Any questions or specific requests that I had were completely answered/granted weeks after booking.
On the day of the wedding, she arrived and immediately began taking initiative to create the photos that I wanted. She took every moment to capture even the smallest detail. During family photos, no one was confused or fumbling because she had everyone directed to a tee! During portraits with my now husband (yay!!) she made us feel so comfortable to be ourselves! I wanted our story to be told through our photos, and that is exactly what she did! Later in the day during the reception, she had fun with us while capturing it all along the way. It truly was the best day ever!
When we got a few previews the day after the wedding, I was literally in tears. Seeing how beautiful she made the venue, my family, and my husband and I look made me feel so beyond happy! I am in such anticipation to see the rest! Thank you Evan for your professionalism and amazing talent! I made the best decision for my wedding photographer. I would recommend her to anyone that recently got engaged. Or just to anyone! I am already planning our one year anniversary photos with Evan Hopman Photography! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

If there is anyone I can recommend for wedding photography it's Evan! She was by far one of the most professional people I have ever worked with all while making the photos so fun....
When I think of getting pictures taken, I feel tense, worried about what I'll look like, if I'm smiling, etc, etc... But Evan has such a natural way of capturing the true feeling of the moment you forget she's even there, peeking through her lens, recording every smile, every laugh, every tear. Our wedding photos were amazing and it was 50% because of her (we did have a part to play in it too!). Check out her portfolio and you'll see how amazing she is. Don't waste your time with anyone else. Pick Evan. That's it. Do it.

The evening we had Evan shoot our engagement session was one of the funnest parts of being engaged. We all drove out to the lake (which was an adventure all in itself) and she led ...
us to the perfect spot. As someone who is extremely nervous in front of the camera, I am happy to say that the experience felt natural and fun. You get to take a break from wedding stress and cuddle and have fun with your photographer. Evan has a great sense of humor and had us laughing the whole time which made our photos so much better. She took the best candid shots and what posing she did have us do felt and looked so natural. (I am not a big fan of cheesy posed photos) I actually have more of our engagement photos hung in my house than wedding pictures because although they’re both beautiful and special, Evan was able to capture us exactly as we are, messy and imperfect and laughing and in love. They are some of my most cherished photos. If you love laughing and love and candid moments, she’s the girl for you.

Something I think is of the utmost importance when it comes to a wedding is good photos. So I was very careful about who we chose for our pictures and Evan did not dissapoint. Evan...
was so very helpful. I live two hours away from the venue and she was familar with the area so she even helped us find a caterer! She was on time and took the most beautiful pictures of our wedding. She was kind and fun and so great. I couldn't be happier with our choice to have her take our pictures!
