My husband and I had Summerlight Photography shoot our engagement and wedding photos. All of our experiences were fantastic!
We first met to discuss details. They showed us samples of their work, packages/pricing and got to know us. We were... very happy with their work, prices and attentiveness to detail.
Next was our engagement session. We felt shy at first, but Noelle & Sean did a great job of putting us at ease and directing us. We spent two hours in locations around the Short North. We were especially thrilled that Noelle & Sean were enthusiastic about doing a series of shots with our dog. Overall, our engagement shots were fabulous! The photos really captured our personality and we loved the shots with our dog.
Noelle & Sean were also very responsive to requests/questions. After the engagement session, we worked with them to design Save the Dates. They had ideas & templates that were great starting points. Then, we worked to modify the design to coordinate with the rest of our wedding theme and invitations. We really appreciated their guidance and flexibility!
The wedding went wonderfully! Noelle & Sean did SO MUCH and were there for the ENTIRE DAY including getting ready! Before the ceremony, we planned to do our first look and bridal party photos. Here we dealt with some last minute changes. We planned have these photos at the Union Station arch, but the Columbus Marathon set up a stage there the night before. With a call to Noelle & Sean, we easily changed our location to the Goodale Park gazebo. Since our family and bridal party members arrived in different stages, Noelle & Sean did a superb job making the most of our time, getting shots of everyone in various combinations as they arrived. They were incredibly efficient yet we never felt rushed. Again they did a great job at managing everyone.
During the ceremony at North Bank Park, Noelle & Sean were unobtrusive yet got amazing photos of every moment. Looking back through the photos is like reliving the whole experience since they captured all the special moments so perfectly. After our ceremony, we did bride & groom photos. This was another point at which we appreciated their efficiency. We had a great photo session and time to get back to our guests during cocktails.
Having candid photos during the reception and photos of all the details in the wedding were also important to us; here Noelle & Sean really shined. Noelle has a great eye for detail, and Sean has experience in photojournalism. We were so pleased to see our photos after the wedding! Since we had many DIY decorations, it was great to have that documented, and Noelle & Sean created some really cool vignettes with our rings, the bouquet, etc. We're also happy they stayed for the reception. There are many photos of our family & friends dancing, laughing, and having a blast. From start to finish, Noelle & Sean captured so many fun, beautiful moments of our wedding day.
Noelle & Sean are a great husband and wife photography team. They're professional, personal, fun, flexible and great to work with. We're grateful for their attention to detail, efficiency and relaxed attitude that put everyone at ease. We also appreciate how hard they worked yet how easy they made the whole process for us. We're so happy with our photos and continue to cherish them. Many of them hang on our walls in our house.
