The lead photographer, Fola, of Fotos by Fola is exceptional! When we interviewed him to photograph our wedding, his calm and personable demeanor was the first thing we noticed. While all of the photographers we researched had great work, we wa...nted more than that. We wanted someone we would feel comfortable being around, who would mesh well with our family/friends, and also work well with our other vendors. Having a great vibe was very important to us because it truly sets the tone for a great wedding experience. When we decided to work with Fola, he was very professional, prompt, and flexible to meet our desires. I had a very detailed shot list and he made me feel heard when I expressed how important particular photos were to me. He did his research on the venue and even offered additional shots that I didn't consider. He made everyone feel like we were working with a dear friend while we were getting ready. He took beautiful photos of the ceremony pictures but did not take away from the guest experience. When it was time for the reception, he got such great candid shots that I've made personalized photo books for many of family members so they could have professional photos of themselves. We had such a fun time and the wedding went beautifully. I know it was because of excellent vendors like Fola. Key word of advice: spend the money and choose a highly qualified expert in the field, but also make sure that person is someone you feel will be a responsible guardian of your memories. Fola returned our pictures to us in 2 weeks and they were incredible!!! He exceeded our expectations and we will use him to capture all of our major life events!
