When I first starting planning my wedding, I was most daunted by the idea of having to find a photographer. I'm not especially fond of having my photo taken even by people I know, let alone a complete stranger for an event that holds so much me...aning to me and my loved ones. I stumbled upon an engagement session offer that McKenzie had on her Facebook page, and, with trepidation, I sent her a message to inquire about it. She responded almost immediately, which was a good start.
Once I decided to schedule the engagement session, McKenzie was flexible with dates and times, and had numerous suggestions for suitable places to shoot based on my preferences. Flexibility was extremely important since bad weather put a literal damper on our original appointment. She was quick to schedule another appointment with me and maintained a very positive attitude, which kept me calm.
We met at a site she suggested, and McKenzie explained how the shoot would run and we quickly got started. She was very friendly and open, which put us at ease. After the first few minutes, I was actually having fun! She gave direction so that we could be photographed in the most flattering way possible, but allowed us the freedom to be ourselves. She seemed genuinely interested in us as people, rather than mere subjects to be photographed.
After the session, I thought I'd have to wait at least a week or so before I saw any proofs, but she turned them around in just a few days. I LOVED them! The entire experience was amazing, and since I hadn't yet hired a photographer for the actual wedding, well, it made it very easy to want to put McKenzie on my team!
My wedding is in about a week. I cannot wait for the day to come, and I am so excited that McKenzie will be there to capture many of the precious moments I know we'll have. I can rest assured the photos will come out beautifully! No doubt, you'll be reading an updated review with more gushing about McKenzie's talents and professionalism before too long!
