Held In The Moment Photography, LLC

energy, super fun, and stayed on track with our schedule. It was also super super exciting to get a sneak peak of our photos the night of! They are absolutely stunning, and we can’t wait to see the rest!

re to know all the family dynamics for photo taking prior to my wedding day. Having a big blended family with lots of moving pieces, I was amazed that they had every possible photo combination memorized and made the process quick and easy. Getting a sneak peek the night of our wedding was just the cherry on top of an amazing experience with them. We can’t recommend them enough!

were PHENOMENAL and we can’t wait for the full package to be ready!! At the end of the day, I’m not sure who had more fun. They were a blast!!

g photographer when we got engaged. They also included engagement photos for us at their amazing property in Washington, VT. Jake and Julie-Ann were timely and arrived when expected and got all of the important shots we were looking for. I adore their photography editing style, it's very classic with a mix of color & black and white. They are timeless photos that we'll cherish over our lifetime. You know you have a great wedding photographer when over a month later friends are still talking about how absolutely every photo from our wedding was magical. They also worked very well with our videographer, and did an excellent job at capturing important moments without being 'in the way' - I feel like this is especially important during the ceremony. Julie-Ann also helps to direct our position in front of the camera and placed my dress and veil perfectly for every formal photo. I appreciated that they took us outside after the rain to get more photos of us and the wedding party, and also of us at sunset - they are some of my favorite photos of the day! Really I cannot say enough about how wonderful Held in the Moment is to Work with. Hire them immediately, it will be one of the best decisions you can make for your wedding day.

eme efficiency through the entire duration of the busy day. They are phenomenally in sync with each other elegantly swapping roles & sharing all the tasks at hand with very little verbal communication amongst themselves. They both have a gifted artistic eye and have the ability to step into a new space and instantly find the most stunning picture in the area. They both selflessly help in any way they can, holding food and drink for us, constantly resetting our accessories & hair when it needs to be, and keeping everyone smiling. They are both such genuinely nice & fun people, within minutes of them arriving they feel like lifelong friends which resulted in such natural and comfortable pictures through the whole night. They are an absolute pleasure to work with and every vendor, family member, and guest at our wedding was truly blown away by their services.

like long time acquaintances rather than just clients.. They were very organized and, as always, provided us with sneak peak pictures the same night! They are great at figuring out the best/ most beautiful/ most creative shots and clearly have a ton of experience with weddings as they really helped us structure our day with the pre-wedding questionnaire. My new husband and I are so excited to see the final product come back to us and are thrilled that we will be receiving all photos taken so we can remember our day for all that it was. It was a pleasure to have the Helds at our wedding; they truly made it easier to get through the day and came ready to work with an extremely positive attitude. We also were COVID wedding reschedulers and Held in the Moment Photography offered us one reschedule which we took advantage of, but unfortunately had to reschedule again. Although we lost our deposit, we chose to rebook with them because they are very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of the photos they provide, in addition to all the bonus perks that came along with them (personable, organized, experienced). We definitely recommend!

nwilling to work with me or compromise on even a partial refund on my deposit. Throughout the whole process Jake was extremely difficult to work with and unsympathetic to my heartbreaking situation. Overall I regret booking him for our wedding. To respond to your comment Jake: I was only offered a refund for the $100 fee which you required to hold the date of the engagement session NOT the deposit for our wedding. As far as communication, I inquired multiple times between May and October if your policies had changed or if you would be willing to work with us. Each time I was told a refund for our wedding deposit was contingent on the state of Vermont shutting down again. Sadly, it could have been a possibility and with that hope, you gave us no choice but to wait until the last minute.

et. On the day of our wedding, they were so professional and totally kept us organized and on track with timing. It was an amazing experience that was punctuated with some of the most incredible photos I’ve ever seen. Even in less than ideal weather, they used the elements to their advantage and helped to capture and preserve some amazing memories for us! We can’t say enough about how pleased and happy we are and have been recommending them to anyone that asks!

pture in their day. I have attended and been in many weddings so I thought I knew what to expect on the day of. However, we had some major issues at our wedding including the wrong flowers from the florist. Due to this our wedding ran 45minutes late. Without asking Jake and Julie Ann had already coordinated with our caterer to let them know dinner may need to be pushed back. They made our day run smoothly, and did so without adding pressure. My husband and I were able to get all of our formal shots, our wedding party, and photos of just my husband and I all before dinner. They handled things better than I could have ever imagined, and helped up make up for lost time. Did I mention this was in the middle of a pandemic?! I just can't speak highly enough, they truly love what they do and with that brings performance beyond your typical photographer. You never know what'll happen on your day, make sure you have the BEST photographers to help keep the day going! You will not regret the choice of Held In The Moment Photography!

the day) so smooth and effortless. We received our photos and wow are they gorgeous!!

re no dumb questions but was realistic on what to expect if we hired them. I immediately booked them as our photographer because I knew they were the right fit for us. Communicating with them was always easy and their responses were very quick even later in the evening/night. We loved that the package included our engagement photos, which gave us a great opportunity to get to know Jake and Julie Ann before our big day. They welcomed us and our dog to their picturesque property for a relaxing evening. During both our engagement photos and our wedding day Jake and Julie Ann were both personable, outgoing, sweet, extremely helpful and made us feel very comfortable. My husband and I really enjoyed working with them and they made our day so special. The little things they added to our day were helping to bustle and unbustle my dress, and assisting me with my veil when it kept falling out! Everyone at our wedding kept commenting to us on how amazing our photographers were!!! Their turn around time on their sneak peak photos is unheard of!! The night of our engagement photos we had sneak peaks posted to Facebook before we got home. On our wedding night I got to see sneak peak photos around before I went to bed!!! It was so great to be able to share our wedding photo sneak peaks with all our friends and friends the day after our wedding. We will highly recommend Jake and Julie Ann to everyone we talk to because we had such an amazing experience. We can't thank them enough for their help and support during planning especially once the pandemic hit and everything was in limbo. I'm looking forward to working with them in the future when we decide to start a family and will use them for pregnancy and family photos!! If you are looking for the best photographers, look no further!!!

re planning our wedding. We had already signed on a photographer, but were still looking for a videographer, as the one we had planned to go with, was a student who apprenticed with our photographer, and he was going to be leaving for his first year of college. So, it was a happy coincidence that Jake and Julie Ann came to us. It was nothing but smooth sailing with them. We had one initial, in-person meeting with Jake to go over what we had envisioned for our videography, and were floored that we had an option for a drone. How cool is that?! Talking with Jake was like talking to a friend you haven’t seen in a long time: you just picked up where you left off, and everything clicked. Whenever we had questions about, literally anything, Jake was extremely diligent about getting back to us in an appropriate amount of time, and not making us wait too long for a response. And when he didn’t have the answers we were specifically looking for, he knew who to go to in the VT wedding network, to find the answers for us. For example, when our original DJ had to back out for personal, and understandable reasons, and we were wondering if it was too late to even book someone else reputable, Jake went to work, and we had another DJ on board with us by the end of the day. Jake and Julie Ann worked flawlessly with our other vendors to make sure no one was stepping on anyone else’s toes, and that everyone had the room to do the work we hired them to do. If you decide to go with Held In The Moment, you will learn very quickly that their work speaks for itself, and their professionalism is impeccable. Plus, they are super sweet, and have a great sense of humor. Which was extremely important to us, as we are known to be the “comedians” in our crowd, and love to crack jokes. Jake and Julie Ann aren’t just phenomenal at their jobs, they are also a blast to work with! I have no qualms about saying you can have complete trust, and peace of mind in their capable hands.

the feeling of joy and excitement of our day alive from the moment they arrived, to the time of their departure. Their consideration and attention to detail was far beyond our expectations. We even had a number of sneak peak photos to look at when we got home from the reception! They were able to capture the joy of our special day in a way that nobody else could. We would reach out to them again in a heartbeat for any future photo sessions, and would highly recommend them to anyone!

joy and laughter, and the beauty of the event. They are knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to Work with them. They kept things organized when we had no clue on what to do. There since of humor kept the bride laughing and sane and made her feel so special.
