Giving HereNorth 10 out of 5 stars is the most accurate rating we could give. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Adriana on our Wedding Day and also on a “Day After” shoot so she gets 5 each! By the time we got in touch we were... already in love with her overall photography style, color, lighting, and all the technical details that were important to both of us as artists ourselves. We had a “vision” in mind and couldn’t wait for Adriana to work with us and provide her professional expertise to bring that vision to life - which she of course did! What we learned from planning our wedding is that your day is probably the most personal day the two of you will ever have, the day you will have the most control over hopefully, so it is so important to make it just that - completely personal, unique, and special to you two. We came to Adriana with multiple and very specific requests for the photos we wanted based on both our preferences and the logistics of multiple locations, etc. and she worked with us to get every single shot within reason. Adriana is warm and funny, so fun to hang out with, very talkative in the best way possible, and will make you feel so comfortable (which is what really matters when so much is going on logistically and emotionally). So comfortable, in fact, that you forget how hard she is working for you until you receive her photo delivery email, sit to review the photos with your husband, and proceed to both laugh and cry and hug as you relive all the magical moments she was able to capture! Adriana is talented, professional, organized, responsive to the extreme, and very experienced. She will work with you on scheduling ahead of the day so you get everything you want and need out of your photos and also make adjustments as needed throughout the day. Listen to her, couples, she knows what she is talking about! Also try your best to stick to the schedule and have everything you want ready because she can only work with what’s in front of her; if you lose a family member or a bouquet, she can’t get their photo! So about the “Day After” part - we were so happy to schedule a second day of shooting to get more portraits of just us as a couple and add another location without the time constraints of our actual wedding day. Wedding days are long, busy days, and things do happen sometimes that can cut your time short, so though it's not for everyone, this made sense for us. We had a blast with Adriana on Day 2 and love her so much for making this happen for us! If you are interested in something like this, get in touch and she will work with you. Or you could just do a “First Look” which we opted out of, but now recommend. But as we said before, it is your day, your chance to follow traditions or make new ones, to include all the fun, classic, or crazy components you want to include. Just make sure you have HereNorth there to capture all of the right details, moments, and emotions and provide amazing photos that you will cherish for the rest of your lives together the way we will! Thank you, Adriana!!!
