Penny Photographics

ront of the camera as two people who are not often in front of a camera. We are so excited to have Penny as our wedding photographer in March!

use somehow she was absolutely everywhere. The times I do remember her guiding, she was funny, had great ideas and we were able to just take direction and have an amazing outcome. The second is the photos themselves. She somehow captures true emotion throughout the day - the photos really make you feel like you’re back in that moment. I would use her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Penny!

their approach and captured many moments we would have never seen without them. A very lovely photo presentation was prepared that highlighted all the big events. I would recommend Penny Photographics for any major event.

nd Earl are fun and friendly, but were also responsive to concerns and needs and they kept us punctual without rushing us. Importantly, my mother-in-law was battling cancer during our wedding and Penny respected her mask and health, but also was quick and in the right place at the right time to get fun candid photos of her smiling - not an easy feat! I just loved how they were really part of the party! The photos she gave us really balanced the fun, candid, and playful atmosphere of our wedding in a museum, while also keeping it a classy and timeless look. I couldn't be happier with both our experience at the wedding and the beautiful album of memories.

kes taking wedding photos all that more fun and special. Penny and Earl were always timely and made my husband and I feel so comfortable when doing photos (my husband is a bit awkward at photos haha!). I honestly cannot recommend these two enough and I am so happy to be able to call them my friends now!

orward a day and they accommodated without fuss, despite working a wedding the day before. Second, they are amazing photographers. The photos turned out exactly as I had imagined. I would tell Penny where I wanted a photo or the vibe I wanted and wait (including going in to the lake at the end of the night) . She would come up with something and every photo turned so great! Finally, they are both easy and fun to be around! Actually liking your vendors is important and these guys make that easy.

eing run of the mill. If you're looking for something special in your photos, go for penny photographics.

rain (just barely avoided getting soaked!). Have only seen our sneak peek so far but I love everything about our photos! They lighting, the composition, the emotions of the day - we are so very pleased and happy with our choice. Do not hesitate to hire Penny as your wedding photographer!

perience that much less stressful. The photos we got were truly unbelievable. The reason I wanted Penny & Earl to capture our day was because all their pictures make me wish I was there. They really do a wonderful job of capturing the environment and feelings as well as moments. They were hugely efficient and got every photo we wanted to get and all our favorite moments! I hope I have an event in the future that requires photographing so I can use them again. My already married friends were very jealous they didn’t pick them but my husband (who rarely pays a compliment) said it best: “Worth every Penny”

erstood our goals for the wedding. It was a true luxury having them both there on the day of. They were willing to get to our venue early and captured so many special moments prior to everything starting. They also professionally corralled our large families and efficiently shot wedding party group photos. The ceremony, reception, dinner, and party pictures were all splendid. We are still getting compliments on the photos! After the wedding, they got the photos back to us within the agreed to time and even were able to fix one photo where a family member’s eyes weren’t open all the way. All in all, we would highly recommend Penny and Earl!

he candid shots were incredible. Our photos were so vivid and lively it felt like we were right back in the day of our wedding! We met Penny and Earl when they were working another wedding, and they were so awesome and friendly that we knew we wanted to hire them for ours. They offer a lot of great services, including an Adventure Session and a Wedding Photo album, and we always got our pictures back way faster than expected. We can't recommend Penny and Earl highly enough, you are guaranteed to love working with them!

could have an additional photographer or stay longer in the day. But with Penny Photography this wasn't the case. Penny Photography offers two amazing photographers and are available for the whole day for one set price. You do not have to sacrifice getting ready photos for only the bride, or worry about them leaving too early in the night. The less things you need to worry about throughout the day the better, and if you book with them, they will be there for you throughout the day. Their style of photos focuses on more of the candid shots than formal/stuffy shots which was what we were looking for. We like the style of photos of people talking, laughing and socializing with other wedding guests. People's true emotions of the day. We had an introductory Zoom call with Penny and Earl, after getting to know them within the first few minutes we discovered how friendly and personable they both are. After the call there was no second thought, they are the photographers for us! And, we were overjoyed that they wanted to work with us also. Leading up to the wedding, communication was smooth with finalizing the wedding timeline with what formal shots and group shots that we wanted. And, on the big day they were professional in organizing and providing direction that only comes with years of experience. And, a big shout out to them both for coming to the rescue and helping save the wedding dress after a herd of ants tried to make it its new home. They went over and above their duties. For this we are so thankful, they are simply the best. For weeks and even months after the wedding, we are still getting so many compliments from our wedding guests about both Penny and Earl. They fit in so well with all our family and friends, it's like we have known them for years.

wesome. They cared about our wedding and they cared about us. They went above and beyond for every step of our wedding planning, adventure (engagement) session and on our special day. If you’re debating a photographer let me help you decide, go with Penny Photographics.

you feel so comfortable and natural when posing for pictures. They are beyond kind, accepting and fun to be around! My husband and I look at our photos almost everyday and couldn’t be more grateful for Earl & Penny!

tograph the wedding, Penny and Earl were able to swoop in and save the day. They helped us reconfigure our plans and zero in on exactly what was important to us as a couple. Plus they brought back a sense of joy to the planning process. Not only are they kind and generous with their advice, they also provide specific resource documents to help plan everything from your first look, to family photos, to the ceremony, reception, and your final goodbye. I really appreciated their standard set price as well. We knew they would support every aspect of the day with no rush or time limit. The peace of mind and teamwork mindset is so worth it. Lastly, they are simply just amazing humans. We genuinely loved having them over for a board game/wedding planning night and consider them friends as well as vendors. Working with Penny Photographics was a gift itself.

ures came out even better than we hoped. Months later, whenever our wedding comes up in conversation with our families, without fail someone says "and your photographers were so great!" We could not recommend Penny Photographics more highly.

Works, Penny and Earl have been nothing but amazing to work with! They took the time to get to know us, our vision for our wedding and what we wanted captured, and got to know us on a personal level! They are both hilarious and fun, easy-going, casual and professional, and pivoted with us throughout our wedding day. We definitely didn't feel like we hired photographers, rather friends who wanted to capture the absolute best of emotions through photographs. From the few preview photos we've seen thus far, they absolutely nailed it! My husband and I can't wait to see the rest of our gallery and know we will be completely thrilled with the final product! Thank you Penny and Earl!!

organized, making the the photo portion of the day stress free for us as a couple. Can’t recommend them enough!

their energy! The pictures we've seen so far are beautiful and will help us relive the memories forever. Highly recommending working with Penny & Earl!

offer adventure shoots, which we highly recommend, those were a blast. Penny and Earl were so easy to work with, and they really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. 10/10 would recommend!

their own!! I recommend them 1000% we are so happy with our photos and share them any chance we can!!

ey were super fun to have with us all day, and we got a ton of compliments on how great they were to work with. This was from family and friends that hadn’t even seen their work! Earl will in fact jump around with keys to attract the attention of children and Penny will absolutely crawl into the weeds to get an awesome nature shot. They even kept us hydrated when no one else was thinking of water!! It was fantastic to have both of them all day for the full day with no worry of not having enough hands or time for all the photos we desired! Also, a husband and wife team is just so fun and the albums turned out beautifully.

d photographers. They made the day such fun and really got to know the whole family. They totally felt like part of the family. We got to see a sneak peak a couple days after the wedding and they were so amazing! I cannot wait to see the rest because I know they will be stunning. Highly highly recommend Penny and Earl. You absolutely will not be disappointed. I am so unbelievably happy we went with Penny Photographics. Besides the groom, this was the best wedding decision :)

did moments on top of getting posed photos with the bridal party and family. The candid photos were my favorite, and every time I look through them I am transported back to the wedding day. On top of everything, they are a joy to work with. I cannot recommend them more.

with them. They had zero visible equipment issues and had all of the standard posed wedding photos down to a science. Additionally, by being able to blend in with our wedding party and guests so well, they were able to capture candid photos that would have otherwise been impossible. They are there when you want them to be (Rounding up family members for posed photos) and ghosts when they needed to be. I can't recall even seeing them during the ceremony and yet they captured everything flawlessly. I think I can safely say that picking Penny and Earl to shoot our photos was the second most important decision we made for the wedding right underneath deciding to get married in the first place.

etic on the day of, and they were so encouraging as I added extra shots during family formals and helped us bring to life some of the crazier ideas we had! Penny was amazing at keeping the timeline moving too. I couldn't have done it without her and our wedding photos are absolutely incredible. If you are looking for a unique and fun photographer to capture your big day, there is nobody else I'd recommend!

tic duo that not only puts you at ease, but every time you are with them, you feel like you are hanging with your best friends. Most importantly though, the photos are amazing. I have a whole stack of pictures that will be framed and displayed because I can't pick just one favorite. If you are looking for unique, gorgeous photos, stop the search, you found your photographer.

aphy. I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married!

on times better then what they show you on their website! They are accommodating, patience, friendly and adapt to every situation we threw at them on our hectic special day. We highly suggest you hire them as they are well worth every “penny” we paid for them :) We miss them already as they were a very important part of our wedding.

g so well not only with us and our parties, but with family members and even the staff at our reception space. They were really easy going and patient with us while we tried to figure out how you plan a wedding :) We've already had one amazing photo come back, and we simply cannot wait to see the rest!

tunate to have them by our sides during this journey! Starting with our Adventure Session, it was a completely unique experience that is so different from what most photographers offer with an “engagement session”. We spent the entire day with Penny and Earl, traveling to four different locations from Willow River in Hudson, WI to Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis. It was an absolute blast! They were able to get all the different photos that we wanted while keeping the pace relaxed and fun. To this day it is one of our favorite memories of being engaged. Not to mention the fact that the photos were stunning – they looked like they came out of a magazine! We had so many to choose from for our Save the Dates and our family and friends raved about them for months. We quickly realized that booking with Penny Photographics was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding. The service was above and beyond what we expected, and Penny’s creativity and talent is hard to come by! The day of our wedding, Penny and Earl showed up early to scope out the venue and were incredibly organized and professional throughout the day! You could tell that they put a lot of thought and planning into the itinerary and photos, but never made us feel rushed or distracted. After getting to know Penny and Earl on a such a personal level leading up to the wedding, it was such a privilege to have them with us on our day as both photographers and friends. They truly are one of a kind. Today, as we spend hours perusing our beautiful wedding photos and picking out ones to decorate our home, the emotion and joy of the day comes flooding back. The pictures are so unique and authentic and beyond what we could have imagined. I can’t think of anyone that could have captured it better than Penny and Earl. We HIGHLY recommend Penny Photographics to any couple that is looking for creative photography and a personalized experience 😊

n the day of. They have amazing energy and made us feel like friends. They did great with all the family and little kids and WONDERFUL with our dogs. We have only seen the sneak peek so far but we are blown away with how beautiful the pictures are and that they captured our personalities so perfectly. With COVID things can be hard but they made sure everyone felt comfortable and didn’t push anything. They also really listen to us if we wanted a specific pose. I can’t say enough for them! By far best decision hiring them. We booked them mid 2018 and got married late 2020 and they were available to us THE ENTIRE TIME! Love them so much and will definitely be keeping up with their amazing work and hope to work with them in the future.

ve been extremely easy to work with. We had them at our small ceremony this past weekend and will be having them at our larger ceremony next year. Even our families commented how nice they were and how fun they helped to make the day!

you're just at the beginning stages of planning. If you want a team that is going to be ORGANIZED, DETAIL ORIENTED, and COMMUNICATE with you every step of the way... Penny & Earl are perfect for you. - It's easy to get snowballed by the all of the day of events going on, even with the best planning, somethings will go wrong and you might have start to miss the point that; Hey! It's your wedding day! If you want a team that are going to be reassuring, fun, and remind you to take a breath and enjoy the day... Penny & Earl are perfect for you. (Side Story: the morning of my wedding I noticed the cleaners had stained a "large" section of the top of my dress that the hanger was hiding... when Penny walked in the room she was so reassuring that the stain, that I thought was THE WORST THING TO EVER HAPPEN, was not. She reminded me that this is not what I should focus on, that I will look beautiful no matter what, and that nothing should take away from what today is. After speaking for a brief moment with Penny I realized this stain was much smaller than I originally allowed myself to think and that she was correct; this is not the end of the world. In just that instance Penny unknowingly saved the day). If you want a team that CARES about you and is not just there for a paycheck then... Penny & Earl are perfect for you. - You do not want to have a mental checklist running through your head in concerns to your photos.. Trust me, you're going to have a million other details crammed in there you'll forget if you put on deodorant and probably apply it again another 3-6 more times. If you want a team that you can TRUST to have your photo list memorized, prioritized, and captured beautifully then Penny & Earl are perfect for you. - If you've ever been in a wedding party you know how excruciating those group photos can be... the waiting... the wishing you could enjoy the cocktail hour with all the other guests... it's cold, it's hot, you need to pee.... they can be the worst. But I can tell you that even in the 36 degree TEXAS freak weather our group photos were FUN. They went by quickly because of how efficiently Penny & Earl were. I'm not biased even my mom (who is cold in 70 degree weather) said she had so much fun that she didn't realize we had taken so many poses. If you want a team that is going to make the mundane FUN then... Penny & Earl are perfect for you. The photos were beautiful. I mean it.. BEAUTIFUL. I receive compliments on them daily (from social media) and in fact one of my photos is an award winning photo! YEAH.. THEY'RE AWARDING WINNING PHOTOGRAPHERS. I'm not sure how they were able to capture the laughter, tears, and LOVE in a still photo but they did. Looking through my photos I feel like the wedding was just yesterday. Again- I'd like to think that this review does Penny & Earl justice.. but it just doesn't. By far, the BEST decision we ever made was choosing to go with this fantastic team. I'm tearing up now only because I will FOREVER be grateful to Penny & Earl for not just saving the day but capturing it beautifully. Hook 'em Penny! & Earl, hope there is some What-a-burger in your near future!

ce making them really more than just photographers. Not really being comfortable in front of a camera, they made us feel so relaxed in both our adventure session and our wedding day. My entire wedding party and my family couldn’t stop commenting on how Penny and Earl were so much fun and made them feel comfortable as well. Their experience and professionalism shines through, allowing you to relax and have the best day of your lives. We couldn’t have been more ecstatic after getting all of our photos back, they were absolutely gorgeous and captured so many wonderful memories. You don’t want to regret not hiring a great photographer, your photos are really the only thing that can capture those moments on the most important day of your lives and I promise you, you will not regret hiring Penny and Earl to be the ones to capture those memories for you!

nd excited about the whole process. As two introverts we don’t love having our photos taken but they were able to put us at ease and capture some truly incredible memories. They also had an invaluable amount of connections and knowledge about all things wedding-related and helped us find a pet attendant to help our fur-kids be part of our celebration. They are a very talented team!

nversation to the day our finished pictures arrived. They are charismatic, personable, and fun, which helps everyone relax around the camera and allows them to capture some of the best moments in a truly authentic way. It’s immediately obvious that they are passionate about what they do! Their camera and editing work is top notch as well, we are elated with how the pictures turned out and look at them often. On the business end, their pricing, contracts, and offerings were straightforward and they were prompt to answer any questions we had. Go out of your way to book Penny Photographics for your wedding or engagement session, you will be glad you did!
