10 STARS! Where do I even start? I have always been obsessed with pictures. I'm the girl handing someone my phone when I'm out to have a stranger take a picture of us, then getting upset when they don't do it right. So obviously I was meticulou...s about finding a photographer to trust with my big day. I scrolled through galleries for hours until my eyes hurt and I can't say enough how blessed I was to find Tina with IHI! The style I was looking for was light and airy with happy colors, and even though that doesn't really make sense, she NAILED IT! First, she wanted to do engagement photos with us, and I had already taken some so I didn't know why. It was to get to know us, our wants, our personalities, the way we like to be coached, our "good sides," etc, and it was so helpful! I'm glad she knew better than I did that that was something we would appreciate! Then, she talked me through the planning process for months. She helped me nail down a timeline, told me if certain timing would work or not, suggested places downtown for outdoor pictures (after I rambled on about wanting grass and trees but not knowing anything about Omaha), assured me she could handle our rowdy bridal party of 22 (she's a mom of all boys), and made sure she knew if there were shots that I had to have. During the ceremony, she captured the big moments but also cute little candids that I had already forgotten about by the time we got our pictures back. I cried looking through them. Also, the guests didn't even notice her! Like a ninja! I loved how she captured the details at the reception venue that I did not get to see before the guests got there too. The reception pictures were an awesome mixture of big moments and candids as well, and there are pictures of family members that I know I will look back on in 30 years and be thankful they were captured. We got back a ton of photos which was another thing that I loved about Tina (and her second shooter) because I had so many to look at and pick from!
Overall DUH I would highly recommend IHI! Tina is a photographer with a fun personality that puts everyone at ease, so the pictures aren't forced. She has an eye for light and color that not many other people do and it shows through the classic photos I'll have up forever. She also just started working with film and they are breathtaking. If you're still not sure just grab a coffee with her and chat!
