vision. We discussed inspo photos, timelines, and overall style leading up to the big day. The night before my wedding, during my rehearsal dinner, he called to say he had a family emergency and couldn’t make it. He said a replacement photographer, Ava, would come instead. With less than 12 hours’ notice, I trusted everything had been passed along. On the day of the wedding, I tried to stay in my happy bubble, even when rain canceled our sunset photos. But during our first look and portraits, I had to keep asking Ava for posing direction because we had no experience in front of the camera. My husband and I often stood in the same pose waiting for guidance. After the excitement faded, I realized many of our inspo shots were never taken. When I called Adam afterward, he repeatedly referenced the contract, even though I wasn’t asking for money—just clarity. He emphasized that we had 2,000 photos, but quantity doesn’t replace missing moments. Later, I checked Ava’s Instagram and saw her style is very editorial, which makes sense for her background but is completely different from Adam’s. With a last-minute switch, I expected more communication. There was none. Photography was our biggest wedding expense because these photos last forever. While marrying my best friend was the most important part of the day, it’s hard not to feel disappointed knowing the final gallery doesn’t reflect the style I hired Adam for, and those moments can never be recreated. Moments were missed because they were in the bridal suite sitting down during cocktail hour and only arose when a bridesmaid found them and asked what they were doing. What made it worse was discovering photos of Adam in the background of another wedding on the same day as mine. When I asked, he said he stepped in because their photographer had COVID, but his explanations about his own “emergency” kept changing. It’s hard not to feel he double-booked himself and chose to send someone else to my wedding. After demanding my photos to end the relationship he waited a week to send them. Then when our contracted date came and went I was still missing some of my photos, when I reached out to him about it I was left on read and when he did respond it was met by yet more excuses. Some examples of their work - Of the 1,300 photos 45% of them are photos from the side/on an angle of a photo that was already being taken face on. Our first kiss as husband and wife is on a tilt. A photo of mine and a bridesmaids feet in slippers. 12 photos of the same image which was my arch and chair set up. No bride deserves that. His lack of honesty and professionalism tarnished what should have been a beautiful memory. In hindsight, I might have been better off hiring a college photography student.

the rehearsal, at around 7:30 PM, Adam called saying there had been a death in the family. He assured us everything was covered. He said the second shooter would be there first and that another shooter was on the way. Adam even spoke with the new shooter about all of the specific shots our bride wanted. The next day, the photographers arrived late for pictures. We completely missed the groom getting ready. Throughout the day, they spent a lot of time sitting around, and when we asked for more photos, they seemed unprepared and struggled to direct anything. About a month before the photos were due, my friend discovered that Adam was in another bride’s photo—actively taking her bridal portraits on the same day as my friend’s wedding. She reached out to that bride, who confirmed Adam was indeed her photographer. When my friend confronted Adam, there was no apology. He claimed he only realized the double booking the day before and “didn’t know.” We then learned the real reason our photographers were late that day: they were also photographing another wedding. When my friend demanded her photos, she was gaslit for over a week and a half. She received only part of her gallery at first and didn’t receive the full set until almost a week after the deadline—more than three months after her wedding day. There were no apologies. No accountability. No offer of a refund. And worst of all, the photos themselves are not good. Multiple important photo opportunities were completely missed and can never be redone. I am begging future brides: please do not use this photographer. Every bride deserves better than this.

w we’ll be writing another great review once our wedding comes and are so happy we have him to capture our special day!

hoice we made for our wedding. While the professionalism and every aspect about it was wonderful, the true talent of the photographer is unforgettable. Our experience with this vendor was perfect, we could not have asked for anything better. Adam was professional, courteous, helpful, and easy to get in touch with and collaborate with. He was so easy going and friendly, enthusiastic about our wedding, and knew how important it was. We knew right away that they were the vendor for us. I searched endlessly for a photographer and Fleet Street was the first vendor that I was actually excited to work with. When we had our first meeting, we knew immediately that they were for us and we DEFINITELY made the right choice! Adam was an absolute dream to work with and took so much stress off my plate. He was helpful with developing a time line, going over what we really wanted, and did an amazing job on our engagement shoot. Our engagement pictures were so perfect that it made us even more excited for the wedding. For the first time, we felt at ease about a vendor. Adam was thoughtful, creative, has an incredible eye, and gave clear direction the day of the wedding. It was clear that he knew what he was doing. He was able to perfectly capture the most important moments, as well as the fun ones and goofy ones. We could not be happier with our wedding pictures. There are several that are so perfect that I cry when I see them! It brings me back to the most important moments that he captured. I could not wait to show every person I love (and every person alive) the most important heartfelt moments. We got some sneak peak photos a few days after the wedding and got them printed immediately. Every person that has seen them has nothing but excellent things to say. If you are looking for the perfect match with an amazing eye for detail, friendly and easy going, quick responsiveness and professional, look no further. Your wedding photographer is right here. They were perfect for our budget. That being said- if they are a little out of budget or if you have some wiggle room- this is the vendor to use that on!! I cannot speak more highly of this vendor. They have made my special important day so perfect. I am eternally grateful and wish I could show that to the highest extent.
