Heather was incredible to work with from start to finish! Coming from out of town, she gave recommendations and was more than willing to help with anything we needed! Many of our guests came up to us to mention how friendly and professional she was - truly the best!

We can't praise Heather and her work enough. She was such a pleasure to work with - from my daughter and her fiancé's engagement photos to the actual wedding day. Heather was easy to communicate with and very responsive to all of our questions. I've been at weddings where the photographer felt intrusive and kind of a pain - but not Heather. It was like having a really good friend hanging out for the day. And her pictures...exquisite! We've only seen the first looks but WOW!! Thank you, Heather for everything and for capturing this perfect day so beautifully.

Heather is the BEST! She’s so easy to work with because she’s so “go with the flow.” She is creative and captures the sweetest candid moments. She remains calm when there’s 10 littles to wrangle and manages to capture them all smiling! It’s a miracle. She’s also so helpful when trying to pull off a baby announcement surprise on the spot, no planning. She’s gracious, kind, caring, and truly wants to make sure you get what you want out of your photo shoot. Love her and her work!

Heather is an amazing photographer! I had the pleasure of working with her on a styled shoot and she is kind, hardworking and dedicated to make each and every photo special. You will not be disappointed if you book Heather as your photographer!❤️

My husband and I absolutely adored Heather! We were both nervous about having our photos taken but she made us so comfortable - we had a blast! Our wedding gallery is truly phenomenal. I could not have hoped for more gorgeous photos that also captured our authentic selves! We also got our gallery back in record time - I was blown away! I’m so thankful we hired Heather to capture our wedding. We will treasure her work for years to come!

I truly don’t think I could leave a review that fully sums up my experience with Heather Heigel Photography. In all, Heather is professional, personable, flexible, caring, extremely talented, and her prices are awesome! My wedding day would not have been what it was if it wasn’t for Heather. The first thing she provides you with is her timeline which is super helpful in planning the rest of the day, she will work with you in every way she can to make sure everything is done in a timely manner. She is super quick to reply to email and is always willing to explain anything you have questions about. What impressed me most about Heather is she is an all in one photographer, she will help with anything you need on your wedding day. She held my flowers and carried part of my dress/veil to help me walk easier, she helped with removing my veil for the reception, she got my bouquet ready for me to carry. Plus, she knows what she is doing, and she does it with respect and confidence and it was one less thing for me to worry about on my wedding day. On top of her amazing photography ability, she knows how to command a crowd. We had a rowdy bridal party and she was able to wrangle them in and still get the best photos. Heather knows all the poses and will tell you what looks best, she guides you and your partner through the process and makes it seamless. We got our images back quickly and I was still so amazed at how well they turned out, I knew my husband was good looking but oh my, I have never seen him like that 😉. I also loved the number of pictures she took; I get to relive my wedding day through her photos and feel like it was just yesterday. No detail is left out, no request too grand, I was so blessed to have Heather Heigel Photography be apart of my special day and I will forever recommend her to anyone needing a photographer!

Our family has had the pleasure of working with Heather on several occasions. She photographed my sons wedding, family portraits and photos at our farm. Her work is always excellent and she’s super personable! Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

2/04/2020 • Reba B

My family has worked with Heather multiple times. The first time, she took our daughter’s one year pictures. They turned out amazing and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. The second time was this past October at my sister’s wedding. Heather and her husband, Tony, photographed the day BEAUTIFULLY! They always manage to grab the most amazing photos and you feel like you’re reliving the day all over again just by looking at the photos. On top of everything, they were the nicest, most professional photographers I’ve ever worked with. I HIGHLY recommend using Heather’s services. You WILL NOT be disappointed!

She really is great at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, getting some true laughs out of you, and taking pictures you will love!!

Heather was amazing to work with—I’ve referred her to countless friends and family. My husband and I were worried we would feel awkward for the photos, but Heather made it all so easy. She was incredibly easy to work with through the entire planning process. Heather helped me to plan for things I may have not already thought of and was so patient when we told her we wanted to add our 10 week old puppy to our engagement photos. She was SO prompt in replies, and editing of photos. I would definitely recommend Heather over and over again and hope to book with her again in the future.

Absolutely loved having Heather take our engagement and wedding pictures! My husband and I have a huge height difference (he is 6’6 and I am5’2) and our pictures usually look a bit funny, but Heather managed to make us look amazing! She captured our wedding day perfectly and gave us so many pictures to choose from! We hope to hire Heather for all of our future photography needs! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
