I found Rising Star Photography back in 2016 at the Michaud's Bridal Show when my sister was engaged. We approached their booth, and they were the friendliest, most outgoing photographers at the show. My sister immediately booked them for her w...edding. My sister got married October of 2017, and I knew the night of her wedding that I would be hiring Rising Star Photography for my future wedding. The bridal party had so much fun with Darren and his team, and you could tell they were having a blast also. Less than a year later, I got engaged and called Darren immediately to book him for my wedding date. My husband and I were set to be married March 28th, 2020. Exactly three weeks before our wedding, our venue caught on fire. Darren and his team immediately offered his assistance to help us find a new venue in such a short amount of time. A week later we planned another reception at a different venue, but that venue ended up falling through. Again Darren was there to help us find another venue. He reassured me everything would work out, and our wedding day would still be perfect (and in the end he was right). We found the the final venue and planned our third reception. It was nice working with him as we planned all three receptions because, he had experience at all three venues we chose. Not even a couple days later everything was shut down due to Covid-19, therefore my husband and I made the decision to postpone. Darren was there for us every step of the way. Throughout our entire engagement, chaos of the fire, and chaos of the virus he remained professional, supportive, and felt like a friend who just wanted the best for my husband and I. At the end of April I reached out to Darren because my husband and I decided we did not want to plan a fourth wedding. I asked Darren if him and his team would be able to take photos of our church ceremony than do portraits afterwards. I remember telling my husband if Darren cannot come take photos of our wedding, I do not want to get married yet. At that point I had already given up our dream wedding, I was not about to give up the beautiful photos I knew Darren and his team would capture. Thankfully, Darren and Erin were able to come take photos for our very intimate church ceremony with just our immediate families on May 9th. Although our wedding day only lasted a couple hours, we still got hundreds of photos from our special day. Our wedding was not a “normal” due to Covid-19, but Darren and Erin still made us feel so special and made sure we had an amazing day. I am so thankful they were able to take our engagement photos, wedding photos. I will forever cherish all of the amazing photos and memories they captured during these very tough times. I can’t wait to use Rising Star Photography again for our upcoming maternity and family photos!
