Highlighted review.

We loved our experience with Sound Originals! The photo and video package was priced reasonably and the team was fantastic. We actually got our photos in two weeks which was well b...

efore the estimated delivery date! Rebekah was our lead photographer and she was a pleasure to work with, so nice! We had a very stormy day during our wedding and she arrived on time and early. The quality of the photos were wonderful and she captured authentic moments, as well as flattering angles, and utilized lighting to add an artistic flare to photos. We really wanted our dip captured at the end of the aisle and she literally sprinted to ensure we got it, and it was an EPIC photo. Our favorite one. We have not received our video yet as it is too early so we can’t comment on that but everyone from Sound Originals was very kind and organized on our wedding day and were inconspicuous during ceremony and reception. Thank you Rebekah and Sound Originals!

grapher we were matched with. We really appreciated the more affordable price compared to other photography packages in the area, and don’t think quality was sacrificed at all. The team at original weddings is very responsive to all questions in the client portal, often getting back to us within hours. 10/10 recommend!

point that we had and even more. They made everything flow smooth and we were comfortable with them. Also, Original Weddings responds very quick in the customer portal. They captured our wedding perfectly and the pictures and videos were beautiful. Highly recommend this company to capture your wedding.

Aubree M

Great team to work with! They answered any questions or concerns I had! I’m absolutely obsessed with our how photos turned out! Highly recommend!

Ashley G

They really caused us so much stress on our wedding day. They were not aware or follow the timeline at all we had to keep telling them to move on. We were two brides getting ready ...

separately and were glad we had two photographers so they could divide up and even though they said that was fine they couldn’t do it on the day of. This pushed us so late and we missed out on so many photos. We went to a second location and they showed up late where we only got to take 5 minutes of photos and then tell them we had to leave. They weren’t great at posing either, it was all the same even in other locations. We were so disappointed and are worried about how the finished product will turn out. We had a package for our engagement shot as well and the photographer was 30 minutes late where we literally ran out of time because the sun set. Not sure if it’s who they are hiring or their coordinators?

ous about how many photographers we should hire and they by no means pushed us to hire on more people and made us feel confident in our photographers’ abilities. Our photographer Shawn was on top of the day. He brought many fun photo ideas, we were never wasting time trying to figure out the next pose. The photos came back quickly even without paying for the rush, and the editing was beautiful( I would recommend getting all three editing styles as each one does specific photos great justice. I would gladly recommend the company to a friend getting married.

id good money to have peace of mind on my big day, and even after asking the photographer to take charge and make decisions based on all the information I had already provided she still came to me with questions that any of my bridesmaids could have answered or she could have figured out from the shot list. She never came to get us for sunset photos which was in the timeline and emphasized during my phone meeting. My one hope is that her ability to take pictures will overshadow the horrible experience she caused during the wedding event. I will never recommend this company to any future brides who value their time and peace of mind.

e day came for the wedding, the photographers who showed up were truly amazing people. So friendly, happy, funny and just all around knew what they were doing. My bridal party took along time to get ready but they captured every moment and everything I wanted perfectly. Just always make sure you have your list of what pictures to get before pictures are being taken! If I had to do my wedding day over or book another photographer for a big event, I would booked them again and again! The results afterwards were worth waiting for! I can’t thank you guys enough!

ng and we had a blast the entire time. Every interaction with anyone I had within the company was very personable and made the experience as easy as possible. I reached out to many photographers but chose this one because everyone seemed really invested in every detail about the wedding that almost every other company didn't do. Best of all, we got Kevin to do the wave with us.

rent photo editing styles available. We chose the Bright and Airy style and were very happy with our choice. Our photographer, Priscilla, was AMAZING! She was thoughtful, professional, and well-prepared for our wedding. She truly helped make the experience a positive one. Our biggest critique is that all communication had to go through the company's online portal. While this may be convenient for the company, we found it quite inconvenient as clients. Being able to communicate directly with Priscilla would have made the process much smoother. Instead, the portal felt like an unnecessary extra step for us and our wedding planner when coordinating details.

relief during the wedding planning process. Huge, huge shoutout to our photographer, Ramzi Assir, who captured some truly stunning shots, made us feel so comfortable, and helped make our day picture perfect!, cannot recommend enough. I really love how the company is portal-based, it makes things manageable on your own timeline, provides a reference, and has everything in one place from the initial inquiry to purchasing the photos for your wedding day. AND I upgraded my package for 2-week delivery after my wedding and they came in even sooner than that, which was such a fantastic surprise to get to relive it all again just a short time later.

He was able to use that extra time to get some additional photos, which ended up being our favorite ones! We payed to get the photos back within 4 weeks, and ended up getting them early. What a treat! I would definitely recommend Original Weddings to a friend looking for a wedding photographer!

Elliott K

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend them. We were trying to save a little on photography, and from our first meeting, it seemed like a good deal. While we liked our photographers, they ...

were not super organized and in control of the pictures, they didn't have good prompts, and I missed certain pictures I wanted. On top of that, you have to pay extra for EVERYTHING. They don't do sneak peeks. You have to pay 200$ on top of the original price to get your pictures guaranteed delivery in 2 weeks. Otherwise, you are waiting 4-18 weeks and potentially longer!! When we got out pictures back, the lighting was horrible, they didn't get pictures of my husband as I was walking down the aisle. Our posed pictures I have hair in my face or his flower is down things that people taking pictures of you are supposed to catch. I am hesitant to even share them because of the quality. Honestly, wish we went with a small business photographer rather than a large company. You can't even communicate with your photographer directly. Very disappointed.

Even when we noticed that the photo package was missing some crucial family photos taken at the wedding, they were quick to find those, edit them, and add them to our collection.

There were no pictures of our immediate family members, the only images from the ceremony were bad and none were centered. All pictures were taken from a diabolical angle. Pictures...

took weeks to get back to us and we were incredibly disappointed. The photographer took a picture of just my skirt because he thought it was my full dress (I was wearing a 2 piece). We communicated with customer service and they are kind but not overly helpful. Heartbroken that we have hardly any good pictures after we spent over 2k on the cheapest package. Wouldn’t reccomend
