Choosing Teal as our wedding photographer was the best decision my husband and I made. His patience and understanding throughout the process made a significant difference. When we ...
had to postpone our wedding due to an unexpected family emergency, Teal showed great understanding. He was more than willing to accommodate our rescheduled date and even went out of his way to ensure he could capture our special day. His dedication and talent truly made our wedding memorable. On our actual day, he fulfilled our wishes and followed the wedding schedule as previously discussed. He had phenomenal recommendations to capture the precious moments between our family, friends, and my husband and me. Based on our wonderful experience, we will be working with Teal again for all our family and friends, and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a photographer who goes above and beyond to bring their vision to life on their special day.
Teal is one of the most accommodating and understanding people I’ve ever worked with. Hopped on board super late notice, great communication and skill. Photo turnout was fast and e...

a full photo shoot with us and our parents. The photos turned out great!!
Teal was so easy to work with during our engagement that we felt we would be ultra comfortable to work with him for our wedding, and wow were we right. Teal and his team did our videography for the wedding and it was AMAZING!
We had planned to have a friend perform live music during our ceremony, along with a very special ceremony, so the audio quality for the video was very important to us. Teal knew our area of focus and captured the audio for the entire event perfectly. That mixed with a great mix of video from the entire day led to an incredible wedding video that we will watch for years to come.
One of the best things about Teal and his group is they are able to capture every moment so beautifully, while being minimally involved and blending into your event perfectly. They gave us direction but also gave us the chance to fully enjoy the event. That and the turnaround time for finished product was so fast!!
Would highly recommend them for photo or video work for your big day or engagement!!

We also waited less than a week to get our ENTIRE gallery back which was so easy to use and navigate.
