If I could give this husband/wife team 10/5 stars I would!!! They are professional, well priced and produce unbelievable and stunning photos. There were some big things that went awry on our wedding day due to another vendor we hired (beware of scams artists, they are all over the wedding industry!) and Meagan was SO reassuring and calming to me. She was like my photographer, wedding coordinator and therapist all rolled into one! Trust me...you want this woman by your side on your wedding day. Both James and Meagan went above and beyond for us, and they saved the day for us in so, so many ways (most importantly by helping to bring back happy memories with their stunning photos!) I have some regrets over things that happened and things I would have done differently (I think every couple does!) but one thing I did absolutely right was to hire Shutter Force photography! The quality and number of photos they delivered is truly amazing. Even my guests commented on how efficient and 'on top of it' they both were.
The only **teeny tiny** thing I would have done differently is that a lot of the group photos after the ceremony were taken at an 'up angle' that wasn't super flattering in my opinion. So, if you're like me and are sensitive about looking like you have multiple chins, maybe just mention that you'd rather have the photos taken straight on.
Photos are (in my opinion) the most important wedding investment you make, since that is what you will have to last you a lifetime. Hire these amazing humans for photos you will treasure forever!!!
Amazing work and awesome to work with!
Hands down the best photographers we’ve ever worked with! Meghan and James did everything in their power to make our day special!
We’re getting married in 2022, but already we love Meagan and James!! Engagement picture were perfect and fun. Their photography style is exactly what we are looking forward to.
I wish I could give these two wonderful people more than five stars!! Their personalities fuel their creativity to produce the most STUNNING photos!! We met Meagan and James and instantly LOVED them! We made up our minds within 10 seconds we just had to have them for our wedding! During our engagement session they were so patient with our easily distracted dog and still got amazing shots with him in them! While COVID had other plans for us and we ultimately couldn’t keep them for our rescheduled date, we are still so in love with our engagement photos and have received so many compliments on them. 30000/10 would recommend booking them!!!
Meagan and James were the best decision we made for our wedding. They were easy to get along with and were very helpful throughout the whole process. I love that they’re adventurous and creative. We cherish our photos and I want to do it all over again because of them!
Megan and James are absolutely amazing. Our engagement photos are phenomenal and I can’t wait to show them off more! I can only imagine how great our wedding photos will come out. If you need a photographer, look no further. Shutterforce is the way to go! :)
Meagan and James were the perfect photographers for our wedding day! They were so easy to work with, down to earth, fun, easy to communicate with, and were so accommodating for the marathon that was our wedding! They really helped ease the stress of the whole day; I had full confidence in them to capture our day and that they sure did so beautifully! I would recommend them to any couple. You won’t be disappointed I promise!
Photos were at the top of my list of importance. Meagan and James exceeded my expectations and created the most beautiful photos of my wedding ever! They are artsy, creative, friendly, and consistently thought outside the box in relation to photos! We have so many amazing unique shots that I have never seen done before! They were also amazing to work with! Professional, kind, thoughtful, and helpful in my planning stages of the wedding! We literally love them and our photos! Best photographers in the state hands-down!
These two are a power team!! They were soo attentive and extremely helpful through the whole process. Their responsiveness and overall attention to details and our vibe was the best!
Meagan and James are just absolutely wonderful to work with! They did both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures. All of the pictures turned out beautiful! We have received a ton of compliments on our photos and my bridesmaids loved how they guided us through pictures. They were even super patient when we wanted to include our pups for our engagement pictures and got some great pictures of them racing around, being silly. On our wedding day they captured all of the emotions through photos… I can’t say enough good things about these two!
If I could give Meagan and James more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Not only are they phenomenal photographers, but they are also genuine, kind, and just all around wonderful people! It was really important to us that we connect with our wedding photographers and it took all of 10 seconds talking to the Brogans to feel that connection. We loved working with them, highly, highly recommend!!
Let me put it this way… if you need a photographer and you don’t go with Shutter Force Photography… someone else should make your decisions because you obviously need help. From the day to day before, day of, and weeks after they are professional, punctual, and unbelievably talented. They LOVE what they do and it shows. I would get married all over again just so I could take pictures with them again and I HATE taking pictures. They deserve every award! They are some of my favorite people.
Pictures were one of the most expensive parts of our wedding and we would not have done it without Shutterforce. They absolutely blew it out of the water in every aspect! They not only captured moments, but captured the energy of the entire wedding with their beautiful art. With it being a year of multiple weddings for us to attend and of course have our own, looking at the images produced from the other weddings we attended NONE of them even come close to the portfolio we received from Shutterforce.
Do not look anywhere else. This power team is by far your best choice for not only capturing images, but capturing the energy and emotion in every shot.
Meagan and James are incredible photographers. They are so in sync with one another while they shoot due to their power couple dynamic. Working with them so far has been a wonderful experience and I continue to get compliments on our engagement photos.
In the early stages of wedding planning, I reached out to 4 photographers for competitive fee estimates. Not only was ShutterForce the most responsive, their prices were very competitive. Due to Covid-19, we were unable to do an engagement photoshoot. Additionally, due to Covid-19, we were forced to cancel our big wedding celebration and opt for a much smaller, intimate backyard wedding. This change in plans resulted in a lessened need for wedding coverage. Meagan and James were SO flexible and accommodating with the pricing related to our change in plans.
In regards to the actual services provided, Meagan and James were superbly professional! They showed up in all black attire and with the appropriate personal protective gear. My florist was extremely late to the party, and Meagan helped keep me calm as our wedding start time came and went (with many guests patiently waiting via Zoom), still without any flowers or a bouquet. During the ceremony, We did not even notice Meagan and James moving about the ceremony site to capture the event - they were swift and quiet.
The quality of the photos are amazing! Our wedding night was a bit stormy, but you wouldn't even be able to notice in the photos. We were hoping for a beautiful sunset, but we didn't get one. Regardless, Meagan and James were able to capture the underlying beauty of a somewhat mediocre sky that evening. It was a small affair, but they thoughtfully captured the magic of that night - the flowers, the decorations, and the small, candid moments that really matter.
10/10 WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!!
Meagan and James are such great people and their work is outstanding! Totally recommend them to capture your special moments!
I've been a professional mobile DJ for over 22 years and Shutter Force is one of two photography companies i refer to my clients. They are very professional and their photos are creative and inspiring. Pleasure working with them!
Megan and James are not only the most talented photographers ever, they are also the best humans in the world. Meagan and James wore so many hats during the planning of our COVID wedding. They were always there to offer much needed words of encouragement and awesome ideas that made our day extra special. They made me feel so beautiful and made me and my husband so comfortable in front of the camera. They have a way of capturing each couple perfectly. Their passion for customer service and photography really shines through. With every picture, they blew us away even more. No matter day or night they were always there to bounce ideas off of and so excited about our big day! Their passion made our day that much more special and so so fun! By the end, they were apart of the family! You will not be disappointed!
"Superb, professional, kind, experts on their worst day!" Meagan and James were phenomenal to work with from start to finish. My husband and I require a bit of instruction on what to do and where/how to do it and they totally made that an easy process. The photos we received were more beautiful than we could've imagined. We have had them for just a few days and looked through them already a dozen times. Would definitely recommend. We cancelled most of our wedding and vendors (thanks, Covid) but knew we had to keep our photographers. What I loved most is that we still looked like ourselves. They didn't edit us to look like supermodels, but instead, captured us in our best and most sincere moments. The price is definitely fair for the quality of experience/images you will receive. If you have to pick one vendor to splurge on, make sure it's Shutter Force Photography.
I recently worked a wedding with Meagan & James and they knocked it out of the park! I was the DJ at the wedding and from my perspective they were able to work so well with all of the vendors! They were always on point in terms of the timeline and even when we ran a little behind they were able to roll with the punches and still get all the photos they needed. No They both brought a positive and friendly energy to the day that really helped everything and it was great working with them. Fantastic photography team right here!
If I could give Shutter Force a 100/100 I would. They are absolutely amazing! My husband and I had to change ALL of our wedding plans due to COVID and through all of the uncertainty Meagan was an absolute rock. Professional, flexible, so sweet! But best of all our wedding pictures were stunning! I'm absolutely in love with every picture. Meagan even made us this beautiful slideshow of all of our photos to share with our families. Do yourself a favor and book these guys now!
Very pleased with the performance of the shudder force photography
They were very helpful and available during the most critical times
Very thankful for the quality of work they provided to us
Megan and James were absolutely fantastic from first contact to last photo! They shot both our engagement photos and wedding and my wife and I were incredibly pleased with communication, professionalism, and of course the quality of the photos. We were especially pleased with the way they were able to direct us into natural poses and capture our memories in a way that didn't seem staged at all. Additionally, they were very quick with editing and getting photos out soon after the shoots so that we could relive the big day! I cannot recommend Shutter Force photography enough for your wedding or next event!
Meagan and James are amazing! We absolutely feel that the universe brought us together! Traveling the world is our passion and we are so incredibly lucky to have found photographers who are just as passionate about seeing the world and so very talented at what they do. They have agreed to accompany us to Ireland for our dream wedding and have also adventured with us into Colorado for one of the most breathtaking hikes we have ever been on. Our engagement photos turned out way better than we could have ever imagined and we had so many fun memories attached to each photo. We are looking forward to the wedding and know they won't disappoint. We would absolutely recommend them!!!!
Meagan and James are amazing! They did our engagement pictures and will be covering our wedding in a couple of weeks. It was our first time taking professional pictures and we were a little worried but Meagan and James were patient with us, were very creative, and open to our ideas. We have amazing memories with them from our session and can’t wait for our wedding day. Not only we had a blast during the session but our photos are beautiful.
Megan and James have gone above and beyond helping my fianceé and I with our wedding! We cannot wait to share our special day with them!
Meagan and James are absolutely amazing! We have only done our engagement shoot with them but have them hired for our wedding in June of 2020! Our engagement pictures are amazing and everyone compliments their beauty! They have also helped us find other vendors like a videographer and a makeup artist and they have guided us through the wedding process. Would 10/10 recommend them!
Meagan and James were outstanding photographers for our June wedding! From punctuality to professionalism, they have it all. Their detail-oriented approach really helped to ease my nerves. I am so pleased to have had them as photographers at our wedding!
I don’t think feel like I’m the most photogenic when it comes to being photographed and I feel uneasy smiling in front of a camera. However, these dynamic duo made me feel otherwise. It was our big day and they listen to our very need when it came to being photographed. I have a big family and it’s hard sometimes when trying to get everyone’s attention to smile. Meagan and James made it so easy for everyone to follow directions and the photos came out so well. There were also some poses that I had found on Pinterest that I wanted my husband and I try (lol) and they helped make it happen. Meagan and James make you feel very comfortable and beautiful. I would highly recommend them!
For someone who hates getting their photo taken, they did a great job making me feel comfortable. They called when we first hired and asked a ton of questions, but only once. They took all our request to heart and made it happen. As weddings do, much things began to go wrong. The mic went out during our vows, the water pipes broke before reception (thank God the site had a plumber that fixed the issue), the brogans kept it moving. They destrsssed us by talking us through it and made an opportunity out of it to take more photos . The best part was when they sent us photos. The quality really captured our wedding day. You can tell that these two are a couple because they had great and chemistry. It shows in the work that they have passion for this job. Highly recommended them!
Meagan and James are amazing photographers, and we are so lucky to have had them as part of our big day! They were always punctual and easily worked with us with whatever shots we wanted. They made us feel comfortable which allowed us to feel in the moment, and our pictures definitely reflected that! We had a really quick turn around with our pictures—and I love them so much! I tear up every time I look through our pictures because I feel like I can relive all our special moments! Thank you Meagan and James!!!
Meagan and James of Shutterforce Weddings are absolutely incredible! Their images speak for themselves, but they are also incredibly kind and personable, more than happy to get creative, put you at ease and beautifully captured the best day of my life! I cannot thank them enough, they are the real deal and I feel incredibly honored to have their gorgeous images to remember my wedding by forever!
WOW!! Megan and James are two phenomenal photographers! They have the best ideas for unique shots, and really try to capture every candid moment of your wedding. I feel extremely fortunate to have found them and knew from day one they would be what we were looking for. I feel like I look at my wedding photos daily, I love them so much. I show my friends the pictures and I always get the "wow, those are magical pictures". They know what you are looking for and they deliver exactly what you want. On top of being exceptional photographers, James and Megan are such sweet people and helped throughout the wedding night, making sure we tried all the desserts, and assuring us there was no reason to stress. I HIGHLY recommend Shutter Force Weddings.
Meagan and James are genuinely great people. From our first interaction, they made us feel valued and at ease. We met with many photographers but knew that Shutter Force was the ideal team for our White Sands engagement and summer wedding. They are impeccable planners and their photography skills are just amazing. They capture vivid scenes and special moments with ease. I am a fan for life!!
We have done our engagement photos with them so far, and I just have to say, from the moment we first met them, we knew we were in good hands. They are very, creative and professional. Our photos came out fantastic! We couldn't have chosen a better photographer. Can't wait for our wedding day!
Meagan and James are amazing, hands down the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. Their individual styles meld perfectly to create a stunning collection of photos and memories. They are up for anything especially during our engagement shoot in the cold and snow in Northern New Mexico. They went above and beyond while we were getting ready and helped us in other areas. Guests and bridal party commented on how professional and approachable they both were. My husband and I want to do it all over again, so we could have another chance to work with them.
More important than the gorgeous super quality photos they produce, Meagan and James are an authentic and caring couple. Posing for photos are not our thing but they helped create and capture such memorable magical moments for our engagement shoot that we can't wait to have them at our wedding!
Meagan and James photographed our ten-year vow renewal. Our wedding photographs from ten years ago were terrible to put it kindly. We knew we needed the best for our special day. We called them in hopes that they would be willing to travel a great distance to give us the photographs we dreamed of. From the get go they were professional, organized, and excited to be a part of our special day. During the ceremony they were were able to capture the most breathtaking pictures without being intrusive and keeping the intimate atmosphere. I’ve never considered getting photographed an enjoyable experience until now! Meagan and James were personable, gave great direction, and posed us naturally. Once we received our images I was overcome with emotion. These were the gems that we had longed for on our wedding day. Their expertise on angles, lighting, editing etc. enabled them to capture the day perfectly. If you are looking at making an investment that you can treasure forever Shutter Force Photography is the place to go!
We could not be happier with the photos that Megan and James took for our engagement session and on our wedding day. They went the extra mile to get to know us as people and learn the types of photos that we were looking for. We were extremely happy with the quality and style of the photos. We were particularly impressed with Megan and James’ infectious enthusiasm, which made the day even more fun and memorable. They are truly adventure photographers and are up for anything to get a great photo. It is obvious that they enjoy their jobs and love spending time with their couples while providing great pictures.
Meagan and James were amazing! They were super friendly and fun to be around and integrated into the events so seamlessly that you never knew when they were snapping away (and they were able to capture so many special moments!). So glad that I had the chance to meet them and share their amazing work. Wonderful photographers and all around great people - highly recommend!
Meagan and James (Shutter Force Photography) are a mother of the bride's dream team. They put everyone at ease and captured wonderful moments. Their photos are very creative and capture the essence of the people they are photographing. They go out of their way to do all they can to make the day a day to remember! Thank you, Meagan and James, for your warmth and expertise!
Meagan is an incredible photographer! She is so talented and brings out true beauty in her photos, but also she is amazing at showing joy and fun as well. She took our engagement and wedding photos, and I’m so appreciative of her and the wonderful packages she put together for us. She put an unforgettable experience in pictures that we will be happy to show off forever. She was also so so so fun to work with! I always feel dumb and awkward taking pictures, but she made me feel comfortable in myself and with all the poses we did.
It was such a pleasure working with Shutter Force Photography, I am constantly recommending them! My husband is not a fan of taking pictures, especially serious ones, so it was wonderful that they understood that and captured our goofy side in a very realistic way. All the guests of the rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception loved having these photographers around as they got some amazing moments on camera. The photographers were warm, stayed out of the way, and captured priceless memories.
Great photographers, very energetic, helpful with ideas and took the time to deliver the best photos. Beyond satisfied with their customer service and photos. Would strongly recommend them for your wedding.
Meagan and James were the best photographers anyone could imagine. Not only were they professional in all aspects, they were friendly and really wanted our day to be special. I cannot recommend Shutterforce Photograph enough. James and Meagan both have their own individual photography styles, but they meld together to provide a complete story capturing all aspects of the wedding and all of the details that typically go unnoticed. Anyone who is lucky enough to get Meagan and James to photograph their wedding will not be disappointed. I brag about how great they were to all of my friends that are getting or have recently gotten married. We definitely won the photographer lottery here. Again, Meagan and James are the best. Highly recommend and definitely 5 stars.
Meagan & James are the best! My husband and I just kept saying, Shutterforce is the best decision we made. They were very flexible and professional. They were always punctual and they just generally helped all our events run smoothly. They got along famously with our families and everyone loved them. Our pictures were great and lots of little touches that made everything special. I would highly recommend them!
We were very fortunate to have Megan and James photograph our daughter's wedding. This included a series of engagement photos, followed by photos of the rehearsal and dinner, and ceremony and reception. They are so professional, responsive, and friendly! They work so well as a team and focus on different aspects of the event and people. Their work is very good and so creative. They also manage to be everywhere and capture all the important, special moments, and are completely unobtrusive. We HIGHLY recommend them and would work with them again in a heartbeat!
Meagan and James were absolutely amazing and we have been so thrilled to have them as our photographers. From our engagement photoshoot through our wedding weekend (yes, weekend, they came to shoot Friday and Saturday!) they were so amazing. The photos we have received are beyond beautiful, and they did a great job making everyone feel comfortable. We received so many compliments from guests on our very professional photographers! Aside from the actual photography, Meagan and James made us feel like family with little gifts and words of support throughout our engagement and leading up to the big day. Plus, we didn't have a coordinator the day-of and they were so accommodating to help communicate between myself and my husband. Overall, we have been so happy with their photography but beyond that, we've been thrilled with their kindness. Would absolutely recommend their services to anyone without hesitation!
Shutter Force did an outstanding job of photographing our daughter's wedding in Oahu. They displayed professionalism, care and enthusiasm for everyone involved in our event. They were focused on what the bride and groom wanted to capture, and did a fantastic job of also catching the little moments that make an amazing wedding day. I couldn't recommend them more highly! Do yourself a favor, and book Shutter Force for your special day!
So perfect
