10/10 Review! Heather was very communicative throughout the entire process of our wedding. Kaylyn was absolutely wonderful and very patient with our not so easy families! Pictures ...

turned out wonderful, I would highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of working with Heather, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the entire experience. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly personable, approachable, a...

nd friendly—she made us feel at ease right away. Her warm and welcoming demeanor made the whole process feel so comfortable, which is exactly what we needed. Not only was she great to work with on a personal level, but she was also very professional. She managed everything efficiently and made sure everything was done on time, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, the photos turned out absolutely amazing! We couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking for a talented photographer who is also easy to work with and delivers beautiful results, we highly recommend Heather!!

Heather McCormick Photography was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. Heather was incredibly easygoing and communicative, which made the entire planning process fe...

el smooth and stress-free. Heather herself wasn't available on our wedding day but she ensured we were in great hands with one of her lead photographers, Amelia. Almost 10 months before our wedding, Amelia did our engagement shoot, and the photos turned out better than I could have imagined. I’ve always joked that I’ve mastered the “Chandler” face in photos—awkward and like I was scared of the camera—but somehow, Amelia made me feel completely at ease and captured me looking natural and happy in every shot. On the wedding day, Amelia truly went above and beyond. She was professional, warm, and had an incredible eye for detail. Her ability to capture candid moments while making everyone feel comfortable was nothing short of amazing. Heather did such amazing edits and the final gallery was filled with stunning images that perfectly told the story of our day. I can’t recommend Heather McCormick Photography enough—whether it’s Heather or one of her talented team members like Amelia, you’re guaranteed to have a wonderful experience and I am so glad we chose her for our big day!

Where do I even begin? Heather McCormick Photography is hands down the best in the business!! Even before our engagement, I knew I wanted Heather to photograph our wedding and she ...

far exceeded expectations. From our engagement session to our wedding day and all the communication in between, Heather was responsive, kind, and so supportive. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the lens which showed in all our photos. Her photos are light, bright, airy, and most importantly timeless🤍

10/04/2024 • Olivia K

Way before I was even engaged, I KNEW I wanted Heather to be my photographer! I even started recommending her to other brides because she is simply that talented! I fell in love wi...

th her editing style - how every picture came across so light, bright, and airy! She only adds her magical touches to each picture instead of taking away from them. She is such a sweet and fun person to work with, and extremely efficient too!! She is so chill & go with the flow, but also extremely organized - literally all you could want in your wedding photographer🤗 I can’t thank her enough for the beautiful engagement and wedding photos💕

Heather is a phenomenal photographer. We were fortunate to have her (and her teammate) shoot our wedding in October and we are so happy with the results. Even dealing with some co...

ld temperatures, wind, and rain the photos still turned out incredible. Her attention to detail and editing style made for beautiful memories and we have received so many compliments on our photos (for both engagement shoot and wedding day). We received our sneak peaks and full edited photos very timely (compared to what I have heard from friends). Heather has such a great personality and made the day so fun and laid back. We appreciated he sense of humor through it all and it was clear she had the experience and expertise we were looking for from the start. She communicated throughly with us through the whole planning process and helped keep our day organized by working with our day-of planner. We are so thankful we were able to book her and look forward to working with her again in the future!

Heather was amazing to work with! I would recommend her to anyone! She made our day go so smoothly. She had the best suggestions for a timeline for the day, good photo spots, what ...

photos we would want, etc. She made us both feel so comfortable. Both our wedding and engagement photos turned out more perfect than we ever imagined, we were truly obsessed with them! She not only captured our day perfectly, she made sure the day/timeline flowed without any setbacks. We highly recommend Heather McCormick Photography for anyone who wants their important moments captured!

11/13/2022 • Alexa J

Heather was amazing! She was so easy to work with and great with communication leading up to wedding day. She made our wedding day flow so well and captured such beautiful photos. ...

I highly recommend using Heather for any photo needs. She’s so kind, helpful, and amazing at what she does!

11/01/2022 • Renee S

Heather was amazing to work with! We love our wedding photos and will cherish them forever! We had many family and friends tell us how beautiful our photos are. Heather was prompt ...

in communication and she had our entire album back to us in a timely fashion.

5/11/2022 • Alexandria W

Where to begin?! From our engagement photos to our wedding day and everything in-between, Heather was amazing. Not only is she fun, down to earth and incredibly talented but she’s ...

also extremely organized and efficient. Getting all the photos you want on your wedding day is a daunting task, but I didn’t have to worry about a thing - Heather was on top of it. She made taking pictures feel natural and easy, gave great direction when needed and kept things moving along to ensure we stayed on schedule. We received many compliments about how great she was. And the pictures… wow. Not only did we get a preview two days after our wedding, but we received our entire gallery less than two weeks later. I was honestly blown away by how beautifully and authentically Heather captured our day. She had gotten everything we’d wanted and more. From candids of friends and family, to photos of our decor and all the little details - there wasn’t one aspect of the day that was missed. I genuinely cannot recommend Heather enough. Our photos are something we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives and I feel so fortunate to have had her with us on our big day.

It’s kind of hard to begin to put into words how incredible Heather is, because honestly you just have to meet her yourself. But here goes :) Heather embodies this happy medium b...

etween professional and spunky/bad*ss. Not only does she help you get so comfortable in front of the camera (and totally hype you up), but she’s FUN to work with! From “meeting” via email (thanks Covid) to our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Heather was so incredibly kind, helpful and communicative. After being completely blown away by our engagement gallery, I wasn’t prepared to be even more floored by the photos from our wedding day. The photos she took encapsulated our day perfectly; she got the most incredible candid photos of our friends and family, snagged images of the details our other incredible vendors put together, and captured the most magical photos of my husband and I. My family and I will cherish these beautiful photos forever, and I can’t say thank you to Heather enough for being such a special part of our most special day! I HIGHLY recommend her to any and everyone!!! 🤍

Heather is beyond amazing! I don't know if I even have the words to adequately describe how wonderful she is or how much my husband and I have enjoyed working with her throughout o...

ur engagement and wedding. Heather's photos speak for themselves. They are absolutely beautiful and she manages to turn every moment into a work of art. Not only that, but Heather herself has a way of making you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We will absolutely be calling Heather for any photos our family needs in the future. She is the absolute best and we cannot recommend working with her enough!

sion to postpone during the pandemic, and then helping us plan our entire wedding day timeline. Her personality is so unique and awesome which made our experience with her one to remember. Not to mention, our photos turned out absolutely amazing! I couldn’t have imagined any other photographer to capture our big day, she was exactly what we wanted in a photographer. Highly recommend her services!

10/19/2020 • Taryn S

Future brides, If you are looking for a phenomenal photographer look no further. Heather is it, the total package. Not only are her photos gorgeous, she’s relatable and fun. She ...

takes time to get to know you both because let’s be honest sometimes photos can be awkward haha! She throws in an engagement photo session if you book for your wedding, which to me was worth it. By the time the wedding came we were already familiar and at ease with Heather. She was organized and kept us in check on the big day, talk about a stress reliever! I couldn’t recommend her more, she was worth Every. Single. Penny! Heather - thank you thank you thank you! We are overjoyed with your photos! We will make sure to grab you in the future when we have some baby photos to take 😉

How can I even put into words the time that we had with Heather. From our engagement photos to the actual wedding day, Heather nailed every little detail. Her photos are light and ...

airy while still keeping the natural beauty of the environment around her. Then we get to her personality. It’s AMAZING. She makes you feel like the most beautiful person on the planet and cues you through every pose (I needed all the cues I could get). This girl is going to be my go to through all my life events from now on!! Love her so much!!

I could not ask for a better photographer than Heather! She was amazing every step of the way...from booking her, to scheduling engagement pictures, to planning the big day. She an...

swered all my questions and gave me her advice, which made our day run so smoothly. The communication before the wedding ensured everything went so smoothly on our wedding day. The day of our wedding she made sure we were always on schedule and that we got every picture we wanted. I don’t have words to describe how much I love her photos....they are beautiful and captured every moment of our day! I am thankful every day that I booked with Heather! I would choose her over and over again!

Heather was the best ever! Our photos were amazing. She was on time, organized, and checked in during the planning process. She was very laid back, and I loved having her (and her ...

2nd shooter) there on my wedding day. We had a great time with them, and she was a big part of making our day so great.

o easy to work with and responds immediately to to all the random questions you will have throughout your planning process. She came up with an efficient timeline to keep our day running smoothly and allowed plenty of time for all the photos I wanted. My wedding photos turned out better than I ever expected. She is a truly talented person. I found Heather on the knot last year while plaaning my 10/12/19 wedding. I hope this solidifies the outstanding quality of photography you will be getting by booking Heather. You won't regret it!

11/12/2019 • Lizzie L

We don’t have enough good things to say about Heather! She’s professional, fun, and obviously very talented. She has a warm personality that helps you relax and pose for the best p...

ossible pictures. We booked Heather for our 100 guest wedding. The package included an engagement shoot as well as 8 hours on site the day of our wedding. In both instances, Heather was prompt and focused. You can see the artistic wheels turning as she lined up shots and the mastery she has of lighting in the finished product. She was very organized and responsive to email throughout the planning process and took our considerations into mind for photos. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out! We'd give her six stars if we could!

ork, not to mention she is very responsive via email and text. And she's efficient--we received our wedding album only a few short weeks after our big day! If you are in need of a photographer for your wedding, or any other special occasion, you must contact Heather. We HIGHLY recommend her!!

d with friends and families, along with all of the little details that we put so much thought into. We were anxious for our engagement session since we are not used to having professional photos taken of us, but we loved it and my husband even said it felt more like a "fun date!" If you want a fun and stress-free process with the most BEAUTIFUL photos, book Heather as your photographer! Everyone says the day flies by and it definitely does, so we are thankful that we have these amazing pictures forever - thanks Heather!!

Thank you Heather for your work! We highly recommend her!!

ur best decisions! She is so calm and organized and simply lets the surroundings inspire her to take such beautiful, creative photos. Taking pictures is not my favorite thing in the world, but Heather makes the whole process fun and comfortable. We recently got our wedding photos back, and my husband and I could not get over how well she captured the day! She managed to snap the little moments that made our wedding so special and memorable all while making us look good :). Highly recommend Heather McCormick Photography! Thank you!!

We had the best experience with Heather for our engagement and wedding photos! I had seen Heather’s work on social media before we were engaged and knew she would be our first choi...

ce when the time came. We were a bit nervous that we would look awkward for our engagement shoot, but she made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun. After seeing our engagement photos, we knew we had nothing to worry about for our wedding. Heather was so organized and checked in periodically to make sure everything in the wedding planning process was falling into place. I was worried about the timeline we had for photos right after the ceremony but Heather had it all planned out and we got through everything with time to spare! Including our dog in our wedding photos was important to us and Heather was so accommodating-she found a park that allows dogs and worked that into the schedule too! We can’t wait to go back to Heather for future photography needs!

ding photos to be. She is spunky, fun, and great at couching us how to pose. We had a blast during our engagement sessions. Oh and the pictures- holy cow! Our photos are everything I need them to be and more. They are artists, dreamy, professional, and so aesthetically perfect. Heather was able to capture who we are as a couple- goofy, so in love, and obsessed with our dog. On our wedding day Heather kept us on schedule and moving. She was there to capture every moment and every detail of our dreamy day- and we are so in love with our photos. Yey!!

Heather was amazing to work with! I seriously cannot even think of anything negative to say even if I had to. She was a great mix of professional and fun. I'm so weird with taking ...

pictures and she made me and my husband feel so comfortable. I was a little worried having only her and not two photographers but she captured EVERY moment! Not only was she great to work with but our pictures are so beautiful. I can't even pick the ones I want to hang in our house as I want to print and hang them all. She's the best!

8/03/2017 • Ericka Z

I could not have asked for a better experience for our photographs! After friends relaying horror stories of bad pictures, I was so worried about choosing the "right" photographer...

. Thankfully, Heather came our way and did such a WONDERFUL job! Not only with our wedding photos, but also with the engagement and boudoir. She is organized, smart, relaxed, and very easy to work with. She responded to all my Type A emails and texts very quickly and always with kindness. Heather made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and did a great job documenting our day! She truly captured our (and our guests') joy and happiness. We look forward to working with Heather again some day!
