Heather was our photographer for our wedding in Pensacola in March 2016. After shooting our engagement pictures and making us feel like rockstars, we knew that she and Jay would do...
a great job at the wedding. That was before getting back gazillions of engagement pictures that were gorgeous! When the wedding day arrived, they were there from the minute we started on hair and makeup, until we drove away from the reception. My wedding party were all really impressed with her professionalism and enthusiasm throughout the day. She really had things under control, which you are definitely going to want on your big day! She has such a great eye and she and Jay work really well together to capture EVERY SINGLE THING. We got back so many more edited pictures than I would have ever imagined and I have absolutely beautiful pictures of my wedding day that I will cherish forever. I told Heather I am going to have to schedule family events (babies, etc.) for when she is visiting Pensacola so I can have the pleasure of working with her again. I love this girl and you will too!!
Where do I even begin!? I literally woke up the day after our wedding and my first words were "I can't wait to leave Heather a review" because she is that amazing!! I even had half...
of my guest come up to me and complement us on our photographer saying that she was such a positive energy and did not miss a thing. Not only are our pictures PERFECTION but just having her around us on our big day was a blessing. Even at times I was worried because we were running behind schedule she kept me calm and made time for every single picture I had asked for (which she had memorized btw). I swear this girl had a smile on her face the entire time I would not have wanted anyone else to be our photographer. I was extremely picky in choosing a photographer as it was the most important vendor for me. It took me months of looking but as soon as I came across Heather I booked her immediately. Seriously, she is the best she even flew all the way from California to Florida for the wedding! Thank you Heather you were a brides dream come true!
I cannot say enough good things about Heather! I was 100% sure she was the right photographer as soon as we met. Her and Jay (her husband) are some of the most positive, nicest peo...
ple I have ever met. We booked them for our wedding on 12/31/2015 in Pensacola. She and Jay were there from our hair and makeup appointments in the morning all the way until the Pelican Drop and fireworks at midnight! We also got all of our edited photos (instead of just getting 50 or 100 edited!) which was amazing. Her turn around time was great (under a month for us, even though she told us 8 weeks!), and the final product looked better than I could have imagined. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
With neither my fiance and I being from Pensacola we found Heather on The Knot and it had to be our best find ever! We had so much fun shooting with her and the passion for her wor...
k shows through. She went above and beyond to capture wonderful photos for us. I so appreciated how she arrived early and scoped out locations for our pictures. There really aren't enough words to describe how pleased we are!
Right off the bat, Heather was amazing. She took time out of her schedule to talk to us about her process and about the type of pictures we like. She is very easy to talk to! Then,...
on the day of shooting, we were running late and she was very accommodating! Not only did she wait for us, but she worked with us for the full 2 hours. Usually, I'm not a fan of having my picture taken, but with Heather, she made the process so easy for us that it made the shoot feel so comfortable and fun. We received our photos 4 weeks after the shoot, which Heather kept in communication with us about any delays, which we greatly appreciated! I highly recommend anyone to have their pictures done with Heather! :)
HCOPhotos are AMAZING! When it came time to choose a photographer, I went through so many and couldn't seem to find the right one. As soon as I saw Heather's photos I knew she was ...
the right photographer for me! Heather and Jay are both extremely professional and arrived at every shoot early. Heather was so fun to work with and she will do the craziest things to get the perfect shot! My husband and I are so pleased with their work and would definitely recommend HCOPhotos to anyone looking for an outstanding photographer duo!
Heather is AMAZING!! We are from out of town and were visiting Pensacola for the weekend to do some other wedding planning.We planned this trip kind of last minute but Heather was ...
able to accommodate us and take our engagement photos. We were a little nervous, but all of that disappeared when we met Heather and her husband. They are great at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and super easy to talk to. Heather has great ideas for photos and was able to incorporate all the props we brought. Also, she gives you a TON of photos!! This was the best part and I think it is something that really sets her apart from other photographers who pick and choose what they think are the best photos. We loved how the photos turned out so much that we have decided to hire her as our wedding photographer! We cannot wait to see all of her ideas and how those photos will turn out. Heather is awesome and I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for engagement or wedding photos in the Pensacola area.
Heather is fantastic! She met us for our engagement photo shoot and it went superb! I had no trouble reaching HCOPHOTOS when coordinating the location and time we would meet and th...
ey were so quick to answer any questions I had. During the shoot, Heather's energy was phenomenal! It got us super pumped about our photos. She had a great turnaround and was even able to send us a few shots early as we were on a time crunch for our save the dates. I highly recommend HCOPHOTOS for your big day!
My husband and I have known Heather for years, and we were delighted when she was able to photograph our wedding in June 2013. We found her to be well equipped and prepared for all...
types of shots. She was very professional and efficient when directing our wedding party/family through posed photos, and was very unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception. This allowed her to capture some great candid shots, which really represented special moments between us and our guests and represented the emotions and spirit of our day. Heather was also very flexible and adaptable to our day's schedule - she has great energy, even after spending 15 hours with us! After the ceremony/reception, we were very impressed with the quality of the beautiful photographs we received.
...Then select Heather with HCOphotos. She shows up on time with a positive attitude ready to capture the most important and special day. I definitely appreciated her presence as...
my photographer.
The thing I didn't realize going into a wedding is that the photographer will be with me all day long almost like a shadow. I am glad I had someone who was not intrusive yet attentive to detail and kind.
She was also talented and knowledgeable about cool angles, capturing sunlight and the sunset, and how to make the most of every section of the wedding. I like her photography style of realism and the fact that she can switch to portrait style as well. I think my photos are very beautiful and unique. In fact, some of the photos look like art.
I was a destination bride, and she communicated entirely through email and phone calls. I never once felt anything shady or a lack of communication. That was such a big relief trying to plan a wedding from three states away.
The bottom line is that Heather is a very hard worker and will deliver amazing photos for your big day. If you are in the Pensacola or surrounding Florida area, you shouldn't hesitate to book her services.
