Capturing memories
IN-FREAKING-CREDIBLE!!!! I came across his profile on Instagram. He had posted a highlight video of a couples’ vows that he beatifully captured. It made me feel like I was there with them and the story Rueben graciously put together was amazing beyond words. After feeling moved by his art, I knew I wanted to work something out with him. I can’t say enough good things about Rueben, his professionalism, his knowledge, and ability to feel at ease with his presence. I am so grateful he chose to work with us and our particular limitations. He knows what he’s doing and gives great directions throughout a day that generally feels more or less chaotic. I highly recommend Rueben to be on your vendo team!!! His work is 💯 worth it!!

Hiring Rueben and his team at Loose Tie Photography was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. We hired his team for both photography and videography. From our engagement shoot through to the last dance of our wedding day, the quality of our photos and videos is absolutely stunning and we've received countless compliments. But what truly set Loose Tie apart was the experience. Rueben immediately made us feel comfortable, which was so refreshing as we were worried we'd look awkward during posed photos. He has this rare ability to be incredibly sharp and calculated in his craft, while also being the most laid-back person in the room. He listened intently to our vision, provided advice where we needed help, and effortlessly guided us into natural, fun, and genuine poses, making the entire process feel less like a chore and more like hanging out with a friend. We were also thrilled with how seamlessly Rueben and his team worked with our dog, who was a big part of both the engagement and wedding photos! The preparation leading up to the wedding was exceptional. Rueben and Melissa took the time to visit our family property (our wedding shoot location) twice just to carefully scout locations, map out specific shots, and track where the sun would hit at the perfect time of day. He mirrored this level of diligence at our main venue as well. This calculated approach ensured every moment was captured beautifully and perfectly timed, yet on the wedding day itself, we never once felt stressed about the timeline or logistics. On the day of the wedding, Rueben and his team were a seamless, nearly invisible presence. They managed to capture every key moment without ever being disruptive. Our bridal party and family constantly commented on how awesome, professional, and friendly the whole team was. We wholeheartedly recommend Loose Tie Photography for anyone seeking beautiful, high-quality documentation of their special day, delivered by a team that feels like family. We will absolutely be calling Rueben for all future milestones we hope to capture!
