About this vendor
Flikk Thornton Photography, in terms of style, can be described as a form of wedding photojournalism. It's not about investing hours of photoshop, or creating the perfect image, but capturing the perfect moment. The aim is to capture them in their most pure and rawest form. Ideally less staged and posed work, and more organic, relaxed, natural moments. There are many people that aren't huge fans of being in pictures and it makes them feel awkward to be told to where to place their heads and arms. That's where my specialty comes in and 10 years from your wedding day, these images will take you back to the moment, feeling, and joy of that special day, not just a cool photoshopped picture on your wall.

Working with Flikk was great! After conversations with quite a few photographers he was the first who wanted to hear about our vision to make sure we were artistically aligned and ...
that he felt he was the best one to capture our moment and tell our story.
On the day-of he was prompt, charismatic, and professional and did a good job of making our families feel at ease and comfortable to get as many earnest pictures as possible. He shot getting-ready shots with both myself and my wife, the layout of the venue, the ceremony, group shots with family, candids during the reception and dinner, cake cutting, and more. He offered creative ideas on poses and framing and utilizing the venue and was fully accommodating for all the varieties of shots we had pre-planned for ourselves.
After a few weeks we received tons of photos hosted on his portal which was easy to use and send to family members. Everything was downloadable in a "social media" and full-resolution filesize. I didn't order any prints but I know that's an available offering- for now I've just downloaded the full rez copies of the few hundred photos and am happily sharing with friends and family!
Flikk was great. We hired him for a long day that basically ran from 6am to 9pm (with a short break between noon and 5pm) for two events that were about 15-20 people each due to CO...
VID. He was professional, positive, and energized throughout. My friends loved having him around, too, as he gave some of them tips on how to shoot on their own phones. We're pleased to have been able to download the full library of shoots from the day for digital albums and sharing. Additionally, we printed some of our favorites through Flikk's website, and they're gorgeous--it's been amazing to have them framed and hung for us to remember every day. We recommend!
Flikk did an amazing job! He worked really hard to collaborate with my husband and I to give us pictures that really showcased us as a couple. We love how the pictures turned out!!...
Flikk is very good at creating photos that not only capture the moment, but capture the vibe as well. Punctual, flexible, kind, fairly priced, and a joy to work with!
Flikk is absolutely incredible. Showed up on time, shot amazing photos, and truly cared about the quality of the photos. He was so attentive and creative, we loved working with him...
. He went the extra mile to make sure that we had absolutely every photo we could possibly want, even ones we didn't think of. If you're in the market for wedding photos, Flikk is a go-to.
Professional! He arrived on time and I don’t think there was an image not captured! I can’t wait to see the final product!
In planning our wedding my wife pretty much did everything. But I wanted to choose the photographer. I myself shoot, so I was very particular on what and who I wanted. I wanted som...
eone that was an artist in shooting. And I found that with Flikk Thornton. Anyone can point and shoot a camera. I was so impressed with his work, I knew I wanted him to be our photographer and wouldn’t settle for anyone else. We flew him to Nola for the wedding and he captured everything exactly the way discussed. From A to Z he was great. 100% percent satisfied! We highly recommend rendering his services! you will be beyond happy. Thanks Flikk Thornton

h you to make sure your photos and experience as your photographer is exactly what you want. I also loved the fact that there was an extra added surprise that I did not expect at my wedding however, it was amazing and I was very surprised. I don't want to spoil it so you'll have to experience it for yourself by booking Flikk for your event. While he was producing amazing photos, he was also very courteous and interactive with my family and wedding party, who also had amazing things to say about him. Flikk went above and beyond what I expected and I appreciate that in quality service. The only advice I would give to customers is to be very patient after the wedding, because it's going to take some time to get your photos. Flikk will capture the best moments of your day and make sure they're perfect. Trust me, it's worth the wait. My husband and I are very pleased with the results. I will most definitely book Flikk Thornton Inc for all future events.
It's always scary when you hire someone you know personally for a professional service, especially for the biggest day of your life. Will they be professional because you know them...
personally? Will they be fair with their prices or try to gauge you because they keenly aware of your income? Which is why I had some initial hesitation with hiring my long time friend as my photographer. BUT, I'm so happy I did! Not only was he professional but he added a lot of personal touches. Prior to the wedding, he held multiple consultations with me to ensure I was prepared for the day and that he could deliver exactly what I wanted. I loved that he had a vision for the day! He took photos of things I hadn't thought of because I was so busy. He showed up on time, and well prepared for the day. My photos turned out beautifully and I couldn't be more happy that I chose him. Consequently, I've used his services for every event since then!

t. That's exactly what we wanted; to relive our special day every time we glance at our photos.
Flikk, was an absolute God send. My husband and I were very cautious and selective when deciding on a wedding photographer. We searched several websites, social media accounts, etc...
., until we found someone who could accommodate our needs.
In addition to our wedding photos, we were also able to work out a deal that included family engagement photos for our announcements.
On the day of our wedding, Flikk arrived early, was able to capture all of our pre-wedding photos, and stayed until the end, capturing our final shots leaving our venue. Needless to say his customer service was outstanding! Flikk became a part of our family that day. I highly recommend him and his services!
