I got married in November and had started wedding planning back in 2018/2019. Harold was, actually, one of the last vendors that I had booked for the wedding. I had kept putting it off, because the sticker prices on photographers were scarier t...han booking a DJ or Florist, for example. However, when I found Harold and met with him, personally, he was very keen on asking me what I was looking for on the day of my wedding. Considering this is my first, and, hopefully, last time planning a wedding, I was not, really, sure, and did not, necessarily, have a great vision for how the day was going to pan out. Despite this, knowing that he was so proactive in delivering such a quality service alleviated much of the stress that came with wedding planning. A week before the wedding, I had one last meeting with Harold before the day to finalize the timeline, other important aspects and key wedding MVPs that had to be photographed. He assured me that whatever I needed, he was, only, a phone call or a text message away, and that he was planning on showing up at the hall, early, to prepare some shots of the venue and get the best lighting. True enough, the day of the wedding came, and the bridal assistant informed me that he had arrived well in advance of our scheduled time and was taking shots of the venue. While we were taking the pictures of the bridal party getting ready, he, constantly, kept the ambiance light to avoid any additional emotional tears from ruining any hair and makeup. He was, truly, a master of ceremonies in keeping the timeline of the church and the reception and all of the pictures in between. He made sure to incorporate who was going to be in what shot and directed the best poses for me and my now husband.
Even after the wedding, working with Harold to transition all of the digital files could not have been any easier. He was flexible with his time and was more than happy to provide pre-stamped envelopes to mail back his memory equipment. Lastly, while Harold being bilingual was not the main reason we booked him, it did come in handy, when we had to take shots with some of my other family members, where English is not the first language. All in all, the options and opportunities are, truly, endless, when you choose to work with Harold and his team to meet all of your photography needs on your special day.
