MD Turner Photography

edule. Mike did both our engagement photos downtown and my bridals in Hermann Park. He knew all the secret places to go and made us/me feel so comfortable in what can be a bit of an awkward situation. Mike and Deb both came to photograph our wedding and I am soon grateful they were there! We were very unhappy with our wedding planner, and once I updated Deb about the situation that day, she totally took charge. She made sure that we had a great time and I didn't have to worry about a thing! They both have such a good eye and we are so.so.so. happy with our wedding pictures!!! We are having such a hard time deciding which ones we want to print/frame because we have so many favorites! Its been a few months now since our wedding and I have bridesmaids still make comments about how much they enjoyed working with our photographers Mike and Deb. I cannot thank you both enough!!

rushed and took every step to make sure my husband and I got all shots we wanted on our wedding day. They have open communication and ultimately, we cannot be happier with their service!

e Mike after he filmed their wedding. Mike easily navigates around everyone so as not to get in the way but captures amazing shots and you don't even notice he is there! He was such a trooper throughout our day as we had a major rain delay and numerous other issues arising causing the whole timeline to be thrown out the window. It has only been a week since our wedding so we do not have the finished project yet but we know it is going to be absolutely perfect. I couldn't be happier with my decision to hire MD Turner. You will not regret hiring them. Do it right now!

e. On the day of our wedding Mike was excellent! Within an hour of being at the venue he already knew everyones names and so nice! My video came out amazingly! There are things that Mike captured and I think back and don't even remember him being in the room! I highly suggest hiring MD Turner for your wedding!

have a wedding coordinator who gave much direction (which I needed). Deb noticed and took the reins. Deb had us laughing the whole time, made sure all the pictures we wanted were captured and even went past her duties in helping me with other aspects of the wedding. She's a boss! A husband and wife team-Mike and Deb made the whole experience natural and easy going, while keeping everything moving swiftly and in a timely manner. Don't know how to pose naturally? Don't worry, us either, they've got you. We didn't have videography so I was worried we would lose moments to remember. Not the case with this team. They captured so many priceless moments my husband and I would have never seen without them. The process: Deb asked to meet in person so we could get to know each other while determining details. She gave me a list of pictures to check off so they would know our priorities of pictures (bride + groom, bride + groom +flower girls, etc.). Later we set out a timeline- when and what events were happening, how much time would be needed, who would need to be ready when, etc. All the planning lead up to a very smooth wedding day. I told Deb from the beginning, authority and direction will be key for our large families/wedding party. She delivered and I loved every second of it! After the wedding she has me pick pictures for the wedding album we got through them, using a website link emailed to us. The site was easy to use and made the communication process smooth. One album came with our package and we ordered two extra for parents. The quality of the album and how she incorporated the mix of shots left both myself, husband and both sets of parents in awe. Everyone who looks at our album has nothing but compliments. They even threw in a surprise calendar that hangs in our kitchen. What did I love the most? The picture quality. My fear was too much photoshop and too many filters. Have you ever seen wedding/engagement photos where you think, wow they look airbrushed?! Yup, not over here they weren't! Moderation and subtly were the perfect blend. As said before, I cannot say enough good things about MD Turner Photography and I highly recommend their services.

ely GORGEOUS, too! Would definitely recommend them to anyone.

ortive, creative, and just darn nice, he was able to understand what I was looking for even when I had difficulty articulating my ideas. On my wedding day, not a moment went by without seeing either Mike or Deb. I know they have captured some great stuff (we had a karaoke reception) and I can't wait to see what they've come up with!

k. Mike and Deb were very professional, experienced, and a great help on the wedding day! I loved working with them.

ck style. It was an easy decision to choose Mike and Deb as our photographers. Mike and Deb are such nice people to work with and were helpful in answering our questions along the way when figuring out timelines for the wedding day, etc. We just got our wedding pictures back and absolutely love them! They took beautiful pictures and we have so many of us as a couple, our wedding party, and many great candid shots of our friends and family having fun at the reception. We didn't have a videographer but these pictures can easily tell the story of our wedding day. Deb was also such a help on my wedding day, besides taking pictures. She bustled my dress for me and safety pinned it when some of the bottom got stepped on. I would highly recommend Mike and Deb to capture the moments of your wedding day!

ery relaxed, they take amazing pictures, and the turn around for my finished photos was always surprisingly quick. I will use them again for any future photography needs.

s who wanted to take pictures. We loved her and our pictures.

fter our meeting with them to discuss the style of the photos we would like, I said to my husband, "I wish they didn't photograph weddings every weekend - I want to hang out with them!" On our engagement shoot, I brought a photo that I wanted to recreate. The picture that Mike took looks even better than the one I brought! I was obsessed with it and was showing people the photo for months. On the wedding day, they arrived on time and started shooting right away. I can't wait to see the rest of the photos. Deb even helped with non photography related things. When I was looking for my toss bouquet and garter, she ran back to the bridal suite to grab them. She also helped carry centerpieces over to the ballroom after the florist delivered them. If you're looking for a great photographer that you will love, you've found them!

he pictures from the wedding that we've seen so far are beyond amazing! I would definitely recommend them to anyone. They are so personable and make you feel so relaxed!

by MD Turner. They go above and beyond to make sure you get what you want out of your shoots and they deliver every time. I absolutely loved my bridal and engagement pictures and can't wait to see what the wedding pictures look like. Another plus is he always had our pictures back to me really quickly.

k their stength is in portrait photography. What I am the most disappointed in, was that I felt like our wedding photos did not capture the emotion of the day. I seriously had the best day of my life, but you wouldn't guess it from the photos. The majority (other than the ceremony and dancing at the reception) were posed photos and they missed so many of the details that you hope to remember as the years go on. I have no photos of the room filled with flowers before the guests arrived, none of my husband standing at the altar watching me walk down the aisle, none of any of the guests at the reception that weren't dancing (including the groom's father), none of the unbelievable view at the reception, we have tons of the best man and MOH giving their speeches, but not one of the guests' expressions during the toasts. When I first talked with them, and when reviewing their work, it sounded like shooting the details, and capturing a mix of candid and posed photos was their specialty. I don't know if it was just us (and maybe so, since if you read their blog, we are the only ones that they didn't state any details from our wedding). It doesn't make any sense, there were two of them, we shouldn't have missed anything. The other thing that I really struggled with was that they constantly asked me where I wanted to take pictures. I am not the creative type...I was hoping for suggestions - based on light, architecture, lines, decor, anything. Honestly, very few of the photos had any artistic inspiration. Very few uses of cool lenses, or different angles. I have a picture from a guest that I framed that is of us dancing underneath this awesome chandelier. I have 20+ of us dancing from the photographer, but they are all the same with no change in angle, or creative shots. Yes, you need the posed photos, and I wanted those too, but I love, love, LOVE cool photojournalistic pics, and I did not get this. I wanted to tell a story from my pictures. I had such a hard time writing this, as I loved them both, but given this is a once in a lifetime event, I want to let others know to ensure you are clear on your expectations, and if you are toying with also getting a videographer...do it...I always will have my memories, but details fade...and you want to have something to look back on that captures the moment.
