l of our special moments. There were even some surprise pictures in there. He is dedicated and loves weddings. I 100% recommend love story photography❤️

away who scheduled a FaceTime call with us. Little did we know, he had his lovely wife, Heidi, join the call as well. We immediately felt their warmth and love, and were eager to book them as our wedding photographer and ceremony officiant! We had a great experience working with Alan prior to the wedding, as he was always so kind in answering any logistical and timeline questions we had. Having Alan and Heidi so in tune with each other really helped move the planning process along very well. They are true wedding experts and their guidance was instrumental to us! The morning of my wedding, I was a ball of nerves, I was late to my first look, and to top it all off, as soon as I got my wedding gown on, my maid of honor discovered there was a huge black spider on it, which freaked me out even more! But, before I even had a chance to lay eyes on the creepy spider, Alan was down on the floor, cupping it in his hands and eliminating it from the room. I think that was the moment I finally began to relax and let it sink in that I was in the best hands possible with Alan. I can't say enough great things about his talent and tact. He was organized and had many deadlines to meet to follow our timeline, but was still always kind and amicable to everyone who crossed his path. He delivered beautiful photos that had meaning to us, which had exactly the elements we wanted in terms of details, animals, and family and friend shots. I love the vibrancy and timelessness of the photos he produced. I can't recommend Alan and Heidi enough. You won't regret working with these two awesome and kind people. They are wonderful wedding vendors, and even greater humans!

ng absolutely perfect and stress free for me. The communication was great, he was so versatile and fast to respond whether it was a text, email, or call. The wedding day he made sue he got all the shots I wanted and more. He sent us sneak peeks the night of and along the way as we were waiting for the gallery, and I thought that was awesome. Just a simple touch to show us that he's working on it and I really appreciated that. The entire gallery is amazing, and I haven't found one picture that I don't like. He captured every moment perfectly, and knew the right shots to take. He is experienced and you can tell, he got the perfect amount of candid and posed pictures. The gallery is super easy to share and download. I cannot recommend love story photography enough, from the price, to the service, to the finished product everything was perfect.

we would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

day. There was so much going on that day that we didn't get a chance to truly grasp the moment or capture our own pictures. We were relying solely on the photos taken by Love Story Photography. When we received our photos, it was the first time we could re-live that moment in our lives. Every photo was captivating and beautiful. A moment that we were able to re-live through every picture. The magic of that day was captured by Nicole so beautifully!

and understood what was really important to my husband and I. We wanted to capture the real moments of our wedding as well as show the gorgeous location that we were at. I recommend them to anyone in the area as they will make you feel like family and allow you to enjoy your wedding without having to worry if the photographs will come out well. A huge bonus if you hire Love Story Vows as Heidi is just as wonderful and are affiliated with Love Story Photography!

ed our wedding photos. His team is absolutely fantastic. My husband and I are not people that feel natural in front of a camera, but Nicole (our main photographer) made it so easy for us! She was kind and funny, and so easy to work with. She made, what would normally be an uncomfortable experience, very comfortable and natural. Love Story exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are in awe of how our photos came out. The best day of our lives captured perfectly. Thank you, Alan & Team! <3

is an additional charge to use him as the photographer for the event, we believe he was worth it, particularly because of the nature of our venue that had us concerned about how the background would look in the pictures. Alan’s experience and knowledge of common pitfalls was evident, and he was prepared for all of them. He explained the types of photographs typically used for engagement and wedding shoots, but he also let us really control the entire process and decide what we wanted. We had an introductory Zoom call with him and another call the week of the wedding to make sure he knew all of the details we wanted. At his recommendation, we used the engagement photo shoot as practice for the big day to get used to all the smiling and posing. Alan made us feel so comfortable that we could easily ignore the camera and get shots of my wife and I that were truly candid. Alan would also pepper in jokes and comments to get real emotions and reactions from us, which made the process so much more enjoyable. On the wedding day, he kept us on schedule and got through a very long shot list given the large size of our families. He adjusted to any changes we wanted easily and made sure we knew the most important thing was focusing on the couple and the commitment we were making to each other. Throughout both the engagement and wedding shoots, Alan repeatedly showed us the photos he had taken on his camera to ensure that we were happy with the result, and we were constantly blown away by his eye and his artistic instincts. His colleague, Edwin, also worked with us on the wedding day to make sure all of the wedding aspects were photographed. They captured so many amazing moments that we will be remembering for years to come. Sneak peek photos were provided within a week, and the full pictures were ready 6-8 weeks later. Choosing Alan and his company was one of the best decisions we made. Thank you so much to Alan, Edwin, and Love Story Photography for making our big day that much more special!

in the success of our happiest day. He is a someone that just shines with positivity and you need that energy surrounding you. He was patient, transparent with all of the contractural details, and was flexible with the direction we wanted. He kept us informed every step of the way. Our pictures came out beautifully and we’ve never felt more beautiful. We cannot thank you enough and so sorry it took me so long to write this!

Alan was fantastic with answering any questions we had prior to the wedding even asked us questions we didn’t think to ask him. Alan had paired us with their photographer Angel and we couldn’t be happier with that decision on his end. My husband and I aren’t picture people but Angel made the whole process easy and fun. The photos Angel took were absolutely beautiful. We are so happy we choose Love Story to photography for our wedding.

ctures together lol) but Alan made it so easy! From our engagement session to the wedding, we always felt comfortable and at ease, which led to stunning images that we are going to look at forever. To top it off, Alan was genuinely just happy to be there with us and supported us wonderfully day of and the days leading up to it. I would not hesitate to recommend Love Story Photography to anyone!

ur already stressful day by being kind and professional. He helped keep the pace by having a plan, and following our photo requests. The comment we get most from all our guests is that the day was filled with love from everyone who attended. Our photos encapsulate just that. Thank you, Love Story Photography, for capturing the amazing memories that I and my husband will come back to often.

ss the desk in our home office in a digital frame, and they look amazing! Plus, with the Online Gallery platform the company uses, it was only one click to automatically save all the (almost 500) hi-res images to a single Google Photos folder (to link to the digital frame), or share with friends and family or print directly from their Online Gallery. Alan was super attentive during the wedding, including photographing the wedding party at another nearby location ahead of time. He took charge of us the day-of and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted and even more we didn't know we wanted!

d a way to work with our budget to make sure we got everything we needed in addition to things we really wanted. Alan was my photographer, and he made sure to communicate with me often to make sure we captured every single photo that I wanted and had a clear timeline to capture everything. He was so reassuring and made sure I was happy and comfortable with every decision. Day of the wedding, he was FANTASTIC. You are with your photographer the entire day, and he made sure that we were comfortable, having fun, but still enjoying every moment. He was so flexible, dealing with last minute changes and any stressors without flinching. And then there are the photos themselves. They are simply gorgeous. We have so many beautiful photos that really showcase us and bring back wonderful memories. I can't recommend Love Story Photography more - my experience was simply the best.

rd is so friendly & positive! We first met Richard for our Engagement Session. He immediately put us at ease and helped us to be relaxed. I'm so glad we had an engagement session! So worth it to just practice having your picture taken! Richard & Don photographed our wedding. They're both so friendly, professional & experienced! They captured all the elements of the day!

y and reception, and he did a truly wonderful job. He had all of us laughing and smiling for group pictures, all of which turned out beautiful. Loved the candids he captured throughout the reception. Overall, we had the best experience we could have imagined. Our album looks great, and was very easy to download and share with guests. Prints and albums were offered as well.

al photos taken, and Alan was great at giving us direction and making us feel so comfortable and at ease taking our photos. We're planning on using these photos for our wedding invitation, and it's going to be very difficult to choose just one! I would highly recommend working with Love Story Photography!

tos and wedding photos and even though we’re now out of state…I tell Alan that he’ll be the person we hire to do all of our big life event photos for. We’re supposed to pick our favorite pictures and we can’t decide because we absolutely love them all! Alan and Heidi told us that they would be the aunt and uncle to us when we sat down to start planning. They were not wrong. I love that we can always text or call them and they’re happy to hear from us. Whether it’s about business or personal life. Hiring this vendor will be one of the best decisions you could ever make. Because they end up like family.

os taken. After contacting so many photographers I ended up feeling the best connection with Love Story Photography. They happened to be free the day I was thinking about and provided a reasonable quote. I really had no clue what I was looking for in location or looks but Alan really guided me in the right direction and I am SO happy with how everything turned out. I can't stress enough what a great experience I had working with him. He was very responsive and available for all my questions and concerns, super flexible in every way, and he is so talented at what he does. The name of the company, Love Story Photography, fits so perfectly because he was really interested in us as a couple and wanted to bring out our love for each other in these photos. Thank you so much Love Story Photography and Alan for being so wonderful and making me feel like I actually had my special day.

what a bride and groom needs on their special day. Not only does he take BEAUTIFUL photos, he will also be your long-time good friend. My husband and I are SO lucky we found Alan and we have absolutely NO regrets. Go with Alan and you will NOT be disappointed. Wishing whoever is reading this a stress-free wedding and happy marriage. :) Detailed review for those that want to know a little more: Contacting and communicating with Alan is very easy! He is very responsive and very clear in his communication. I am a planner and I like to ask a lot of questions to make sure I get every detail. From my first email inquiring of his services to the day before the wedding, I was asking him questions and he was responding to them all. Never did he ever make me feel like I was being a bother and that I should just stop asking him questions. Most people get annoyed by all the questions I ask, but not Alan. He is welcoming of any questions you have and will answer all of them in a timely manner. On the wedding day, he was on-time, professional, and he never got in the way of our family or guests. He blended in the background and on the sides while he took photos as to not interrupt conversations or the ceremony. He never asked anyone to pose or fake something for photos. He is all about the real and organic stuff, which we like. He was polite to our family and guests. To this day, our families talk about how polite and nice Alan is and they absolutely love the photos (engagement and wedding). Because COVID was still lingering and vaccines were still pretty new at the time, we asked if he could wear his mask during the engagement and wedding shoots. Without hesitation, he said yes and he did wear his mask for us. We really appreciated that because asking others to wear a mask can be quite difficult as a lot of people are opposed to it. This just shows that Alan really is all about making the couple feel comfortable and that he would do anything needed to not add further stress to the couple’s special day. In conclusion, go with Alan. We aren’t Instagram models and never will be. We are an ordinary couple who don’t get their pictures taken by professionals on a daily basis. We are just two awkward engineers who needed a photographer to capture all the precious and awkward moments of our special day. We found Alan. And it was perfect.

ble the whole time. He made the process so enjoyable that we ended up using him for our maternity shoot as well. Our pictures always come out looking great and we really have a great time with him. I highly recommend Simply Perfect Images.

friendly, welcoming and helpful every step of the way. My (now!) husband and I are particular about how we look in pictures and tend to get a little nervous leading up to a photo event, but Alan made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. It shows in our photos! We hired him for our engagement photos, wedding photos, and recently our maternity photos! He printed our wedding album and it was more beautiful than we could have imagined! We would absolutely recommend his services to friends and family!

positive and supportive advice. Asking all the right questions and creating just a wonderful experience for us. I didn’t have to worry about a thing with him. Our pictures turned out beautiful and have really captured the love of our family on this special day. Thank you for everything!!

the biggest day of our lives. Along with his wife Heidi, who we booked as our officiant, the two worked seamlessly together to craft our perfect ceremony. Alan made everything so easy and fun when it came to taking pictures, he has such an eye for lighting and knew how to pose us to get the best pictures. We highly recommend Alan for any of your photography needs, he is a master with the camera and such a personable person!

the moment every step of the way and capturing the beauty of our love. We just recently received our wedding photos and are absolutely in love; we really feel like Alan captured our special moments so well! We will absolutely recommend Simply Perfect and use them in the future.

we didn’t get much from going to the expo, but we knew right away that we wanted him to be our photographer, so it was totally worth going just for that alone. He is so kind and easy to get along with/work with, and he even offered us advice on dresses, cakes, and videographers that he knows and works with. Alan goes the extra step to help you make sure you’re getting what you want, and shares his knowledge and experience of the world of weddings. My husband and I were very nervous to have professional engagement photos done (professional photos just didn’t seem very “us”), but he made us feel so comfortable and the photos turned out wonderful! It was also really nice having the engagement session with him because on our wedding day, seeing Alan was like seeing a family member and I was so relieved to see him with all my wedding day anxiety. Our wedding photos are so beautiful and we are so happy every time we look at them. The album that Simply Perfect Images created for us is just breathtaking and we couldn’t be happier with our whole experience.

with. He goes above and beyond to make sure you get some incredible images on your big day! We had our dogs in our wedding ceremony and he even made it a point to grab their attention when taking photos afterwards. He worked really well with all my vendors and even recommended his wife as our officiant. Best duo ever! I would highly recommend Alan to anyone!

fully, we were blessed with having Alan from Simply Perfect Images as our talented and patient photographer. What I like about Alan is that he is genuine and thoroughly seems to enjoy his work. Alan has an impeccable eye for capturing expressions that are, like him, genuine and sincere. Our wedding day was a long day, but Alan patiently weathered the moments when the groom and groom were about to short circuit from stress! Alan is a photographer/therapist who knows weddings first hand and he somehow manages to keep not only the wedding couple calm, but himself calm as well. This is the hallmark of a true and gifted photographer, one who knows that the secret of capturing timeless images is setting the mood. The mood Alan set for us was one that allowed us to breathe, relax, and enjoy ourselves. All weddings have hiccups and almost never run according to plan. Thankfully for us our photographer did run according to plan and went above and beyond to keep our anxieties at bay in order to make our wedding day a true success. Do yourself a favor and book Simply Perfect Images as your wedding photographer because your wedding pictures are the icing on the cake of your simply perfect day!

they were no comparison once we met Alan at his booth, the quality of his work and genuine personality struck a chord with us making him unforgettable. When we had our consultation meeting with us he listened to our vision, offered some suggestions and ultimately customized a photo package that would keep us under our budget. I wouldn't call myself a bridezilla but I was definitely very needy and he went above and beyond my expectations to meet every shot that I asked for and I continued to be impressed throughout the day of, at his improvisations and eye for the right angles. Let me put it this way, our wedding was at a hotel, in none of my bridal parties photos can you tell that we were at a hotel, he's just that good! I strongly recommend that if you decide to book Simply Perfect Images for your wedding make sure you include the wedding album! It's built to last forever and is a must if you wish to keep a physical memory of your special day.

and very professional at the wedding. We were ecstatic when we saw the photos. They came out so beautiful. He was able to capture the magic we can cherish for years to come! Thank you!!

d getting married during COVID-19. Alan is passionate about his work, is so kind, has a great sense of humor that just put us at ease, and he is extremely skilled at photography- you can't do better!

demic. We were very pleased with the quality of our wedding photos and could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. On top of all that, their services are offered at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend Simply Perfect Images!

ged and Alan was so flexible and genuinely focused on making sure we would get the gorgeous memories we wanted. He is so amazing and so talented! Thanks SO much again, The Valentins

oncerns. Needless to say, we needed our vendors to be very flexible, and Alan 100% delivered on that! When issues came up, Alan was able to handle them in stride, and he never made me feel like our changing plans were a burden to him! We met in person when we first booked with him, and he made us feel immediately at ease. With all the changes, we ended up having a few extra phone meetings too, and he was incredibly reassuring in each meeting. In person, he was very accommodating. He wore a mask and tried to shoot from 6 ft away to ensure our safety. He worked quickly and was well-organized on the day-of, but also was able to roll with last-minute changes. The day after the wedding he sent us a few sneak peeks at our photos, which was much faster than we expected! It was so special to be able to see the photos and share them with our family that couldn't attend so quickly after the ceremony. The photos themselves look incredible! My mom says they are the best wedding photos she's ever seen ... although she might be a bit biased! Alan is extremely personable, kind, and overall easy to work with. He is an incredible professional, and we could not be happier with hiring him. He is everything you could want and more in a wedding vendor!

ere very happy with him), ability (really liked his style), and comfortability (we really like the calm and easy get along vibe we got from him). The big day went really well, we really enjoyed the final photos and he was very accomadating and worked well (even with our non-english speaking relatives). Over all, if someone were to ask me, he'd have three another person vouching for his skill and quality!

d !

! If I could give 100 out of 5 stars I would! Truly spectacular!

essed my concerns, the owner, Alan, got on the phone with me and talked me through the process. He was so easy to talk to and walked me through the process from beginning to end. Eventually, we chose Andrew, one of Simply Perfect's photographers, and we couldn't have been more thrilled. Andrew was REMARKABLE. He found places to take photos that were amazing. He was at our beckon call and really ended up being more than a photographer the day of; he helped navigate the day like a 2nd wedding planner and made everything so easy. I would give Andrew and Simply Perfect Images a thousand stars if I could. You definitely can't go wrong with this company!

turned out perfectly! Alan was great in making us comfortable with the process and he was very attentive to what we were looking for in terms of style. He also regularly checked in with us regarding the wedding planning process which was so helpful and kept us from getting overwhelmed. Short story - my husband and I both highly recommend Alan and his team!!

wait for Alan to shoot our wedding day!
