Meyer Photography was our first and only meeting with a photographer for our wedding. My sister had plans to use them for her upcoming wedding, so we thought we would meet with them as well. As soon as we walked into their home for the meetin...g (they have an entire room dedicated to meeting with clients, where some of their photography is on display), we felt immediately at home. Rich and Mary Ellen were professional and friendly from the beginning, making us feel like they had known us for years. They went to great lengths to ask us questions about ourselves and our relationship to really get to know us better. They even took notes on the names of everyone in the bridal party and their dates so they would be sure to know them as well.
Their personalities made them a joy to work with. They are warm and friendly, they welcome questions, they offer good advice when asked, and they are very responsive to emails and phone calls. They worked hard to ensure that we got what we wanted in terms of photos and that every "photo wish" we had was taken into account and executed on. They cared just as much as we did about having the perfect wedding photos. We really felt like they wanted to be there with us each step of the way as opposed to feeling like they were a vendor we hired simply to do a job.
As a husband-and-wife team, Rich and Mary Ellen offer something that most vendors cannot. They each have their own perspectives on angles and light and color, and they offer valuable feedback and input to each other in the moment. They offer added value by each taking shots of the same pose because they each see it slightly differently. They work great together, and they worked great with us.
On our wedding day, Rich and Mary Ellen captured every moment we would have wanted them to capture. They did this without being intrusive or making us feel like we had no space to ourselves. Somehow, it seemed like they were everywhere they needed to be, even when we didn't know they were there! When our proofs came back (which were amazing!), I was shocked to see some of the moments and images they captured because I wasn't even aware that they were in the area for that particular moment. The photos we have from them retell the story of our wedding day, all of our favorite parts from start to finish.
Rich and Mary Ellen are truly two of the sweetest people we have met, in general, not just in terms of vendors we selected for our wedding. They made us smile and laugh a lot during each encounter we had with them. They are true professionals who love what they do and the people they do it with. We recommend them to any couple looking to book a wedding photographer--you will not be disappointed!
