Rare Sighting Photography

many last minute changes but he maintained a positive attitude throughout the whole endeavor which made it easier on me. His photography skills are incredible! It rained during my outdoor reception and no one cared, we kept dancing. He captured the happiness on everyone's faces so well and I'm so glad we had him there to shoot our big day.

ow he sees photography is on a different level and having him be apart of the most important day of our lives meant so much to us. I was looking for someone who took beautiful, candid, fun pictures and he hit the nail on the head. I would recommend Devonte a million times! DONT even think about it, just book him!

e exceeded any expectation we set!

ident in our poses and most importantly directed us in how we should stand, which way we should look, where we should place our hands, etc. I’ve had experiences with photographers who are just no help at all . Not everyone is a super model and knows what to do so you need someone to lead you, and that’s exactly what you will get with Rare Sighting Photography. He has captured the most amazing moments for us and our family! And talk about a fast as lightening getting our pictures. I promise you won’t regret booking with him! That’s for sure!

g again!

he was accommodating each and every time! We eventually just went for an extremely small ceremony (elopement?microwedding?) which was captured so beautifully. Devonte not only did the photography but also helped us to pick the perfect little corner of the park which made for the most amazing backdrop for our day! He was communicative, professional, helpful, and also just a cool person to have around at your event. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

ed to the “t”. I absolutely hate taking pictures (esp staged pictures) but the session felt effortless and the results were beautiful. Our venue included a photographer and I opted to go with Rare Sighting instead - I would do it again lol!

y helped make that possible. If I ever get married again(which I am not, lol) I would definitely book them for my special day. Thank you for creating the picture perfect memories for us! Jana

be hectic but Devonte was always patient, responded quickly, prompt to every meet up, and just good fun to shoot with. My favorites are the candids (who doesn't like a good candid shot, right?) -- his candids captures the moment perfectly which truly brings to life the intimacy of the photo.

e wedding and he doesn't judge - no matter how wild or weird your wedding may turn out to be!

ad! Receiving the finished product felt just like we were reliving our special day. I HIGHLY recommend Devonte to anyone who is seeking to capture the authenticity and highlights of their wedding day.

ltation, and it was like talking to an old friend! I have no doubt he'd fit well in any crowd and feel like family, and there's a lot to say for personality being a huge factor in how a photographer works with your guests. I highly recommend reaching out to him for your next event and personal photography needs!

est! His attention to detail, great customer service and passion for photography made working with Devonte and Eddie (2nd shooter) extremely easy. We LOVE our engagement photos and LOVE our wedding photos. Devonte has created lifelong customers in us!

t my Now husband and I were comfortable and that he captured every moment! It rained on my wedding day, but as I knew he would, Devonte made magic! The pictures were gorgeous and everytime I look at them, I get to experience one of the best days of my life all over again! So if you’re looking for a photographer for your engagement, bridal shoots and wedding day, look no further, I promise he won’t disappoint, and I promise you won’t regret it!

very big on details considering I have a background in videography. I have not seen a photographer give so much attention to detail the way he does. During the photo shoot he gave us clear directions and we allowed him to take the lead. To have him stand us in certain areas and watch the shadows in the street coupled with the positioning of the sun was something I’ve never seen a photographer do. He truly takes so much pride in his work and he creates and environment that’s easy to flow in. I can go and on about me and my fiancé’s experience which was amazing but I’ll stop here. If anyone sees my review trust me when I say Rare Sighting Photography is the way to go. There is no other way! I’m already planning the next photo shoot!!! 😄👌🏾🙌🏾

eat vibe with all my vendors. On the wedding day all I can say is that he became gaming he danced while taking pictures and also offered me and my husband help in other ways than his job. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND. You can not find that anywhere. Also I love his creativity in the moment he captures moments never thought of. He is a great photographer.

ing professional, Devonte is personable, and makes his clients feel special by providing unique experiences. He has a gift that captures the love, beauty, and personality of his couples. We were so in love with our initial photos that we asked Rare Sighting Photography to shoot our two wedding ceremonies, day after shoot, and bridal boudoir session. Whew lol. We've received an outpouring of compliments about our photos from family and friends. I could ramble on about the beauty and diversity of Devonte's work, but it simply speaks for itself.

tography!

before the wedding juSt to review everything and he gave me such great advice even when it had nothing to do with his photography, just helpful tips for the bride. On my wedding day he was prompt and ready to go. He even took pictures I wouldn’t expect to see. During the entire night he stayed professional. Without a doubt I would recommend Rare Sighting Photography ten times over! The memories I have from him make my wedding night last a lifetime.

us photos after the shoot and was really excited to share what we captured.

e these photos remarkable. Going forward, I will try and use him for all that I can because he made my special day that much more dreamy❤️

are) and he doesn’t waste anytime getting you back to you with the finished product! I would rate him a 10/10! Don’t hesitate, I promise you won’t regret it!

things and more. Not only did Devonte go above and beyond to be a part of a successful event, but of course-- as you can see on his page-- he just gets it. He gets your vision, he captures the mood, he provides you with photos that truly reflect how we all FELT that night--full of warmth and love. Thank you, Devonte!

mely responsive and accommodating. His turnaround for wedding albums is also very quick! HIGHLY recommend!

d storm! Flooding, tornado warnings... Name it, it happened!  But Devonte stuck in out! He encouraged me to "woosah" and keep optimism alive. We did! Eventually the water receded and we were able to take beautiful photos!  We can't really thank him enough for everything! Prompt responses! Beautiful photos!  We wanted to book him for the wedding but he was already scheduled out of town!

eir BUTTS off to get great shots that we'll cherish for a lifetime. If you don't go with Rare Sighting, you'll regret it!

process he was very professional and willing to answer any question at anytime along the way. My guests couldn't stop raving about the job he did. He made this part of the wedding planning stress-free. I look forward to working with Devonte for future events!

ld get lucky enough to find you. It was like magical guidance from the universe! We're eternally grateful for you and your work. You and Julie captured one of the most profound and sacred moments of our lives and I truly couldn't have asked for better people or pictures. The photos we've seen so far have been absolutely breathtaking and completely true to the moment. You caught all of our feels (and our tears) on film and every time we look at them we get to relive that moment. We're dying to see them all. Thank you for not only being on time, an exceptional communicator, a solid human.. but also for being everything we ever hoped for in a photographer and more. Your talent is out of this world!

ery VERY enthusiastic! I appreciated that the most about him because his energy was contagious and kept us smiling all day. He used things found in the room as props for some photos, which I thought was neat. His work is beautiful and I highly recommend him for your next big event!

booking process is seamless!! Professional is an understatement to describe the level of service that I received. Devontae is; prompt, extremely flexible and accommodating! I am overly pleased with my photos (my favorite birthday Shoot, yet...I can’t stop looking at my pictures). The shoot was definitely worth traveling 1200 miles for!! I look forward to working with Rare Sighting Photography again, in the future!

nate about the art of photography. I’m so happy we chose Rare Sightings to photograph our wedding.

lity cannot be duplicated; from start to finish his dedication to your day or days depending on your photo package you get is what sets him so far above the rest!

’ve seen. He’s the real deal!

our requests. On the day of the shoot, he was so professional. He took amazing photos and captured that day perfectly! Our photos are GORGEOUS and I cannot wait to see what he creates on our wedding day!

day come to life in an amazing way. The creativity and eye he has to capture those intricate and intimate moments is what makes his work so special! I can’t wait to shoot again for my wedding to capture the greatest day of my life with Rare Sighting Photography!!!

rents, and where humbled by the realization that our wedding photos would interminably encapsulate our love beyond our lives. In short, we had great expectations! Devonte exceeded them at every juncture. Our photos were modern, yet timeless. We were amazed by the subtle moments he captured, and awed by how vividly our wedding came to life on film. Devonte has great lenses, but an even better eye. I’m glad we chose Devonte to shoot our wedding, and I’m confident you will be as well.

stions to get the big picture of what I needed him to capture during our session then took it to the next level with his artistic eye. His work is divine and you can tell that he is in love with the work that he produces. I throroughly enjoyed our shoot and would choose to work with him every time! He has excellent customer service skills, great work ethic and a keen eye for perfection!

tails...he responded pretty much before we hit send! He was engaging through the entire process and made sure that our input/inspirations were captured beautifully. Devonte has an amazing eye and uncanny attention to detail, and he goes above and beyond to make your occasion special. No, seriously...I ordered a birthday gift for my fiancée that wasn’t going to make it to Houston in time for our shoot. Devonte picked up the gift and drove it to Houston with him! If your looking for the perfect mix of professionalism and perfection, look no further than Rare Sighting Photography.

ons and ideas for poses. All we really had to do was show up and smile for the camera! Devonte made us comfortable in front of the camera when neither us were really picture-people. It was a great experience and would pick him again!

phy would be a focal point of our day. In preparation from our wedding on October 13th, 2018, Devonte made sure to stay in contact with us to make sure every detail for photography was covered. Devonte was very open to listening to our suggestions for wedding portraits. When the wedding day came around, Devonte was punctual as always. His professionalism and leadership was evident as he directed many crucial shots for my wife and I as well as pictures including parents and the bridal party. Bridal party and guests alike could tell that Rare Sighting Photography was prepared. After an eventful ceremony and reception, Devonte did something the next day that was not expected of him. He worked all day to provide my wife and I with sneak peeks of the wedding day as he knew that editing all of the pictures would take some time. This is why Rare Sighting Photography deserves The Knot Award: this company gos above and beyond for its clients without asking for anything in return. Thank you Devonte and Rare Sighting Photography for helping our wedding day be special and memorable for years to come! #TaykingAChance #HouseSchexnayder

all of our busy schedules. I also thought it was very impressive that he offered to go with us to look at our rehearsal dinner space without even being asked. My fiancée is pretty particular about pictures and she loved our engagement shots! A true professional and all around great guy.

and I couldn't be more pleased! Highly recommend!

d ask for in a photographer. Timely, professional, personable, and passionate about his work. He goes the extra mile to check out the lighting at venues well in advance of your event. And he knows all of the great places to eat in NOLA! But the best part about working with Devonte is that you gain more than just a great photographer--you gain a friend. We can't wait for Devonte and his Rare Sighting Photography team to shoot our big day in January!
