I'm usually not one to write reviews, but during our wedding planning process, I was constantly reading as many reviews as I could, trying to verify all of my research so I hope this helps another OCD bride like myself! When my now husband and ...I first got engaged, we identified that photography and videography were our top priorities, so as soon as I could I got to work on google, the knot, local bloggers weddings and of course creeping instagram. Cue finding Stephanie and Bradley. I loved that their style was so adaptive, not necessarily niche into darker photography or super filtered light - they were chameleon's to their subjects. I sent a very long email for them to get to know a little about me and my husband, to see what her process was, and more so to see if she thought we would work well together. Living in Houston and wanting an out of city photographer amidst a pandemic makes things a little more challenging to say the least! Stephanie made sure to answer all of my questions, put my concerns at ease, and even had a few FaceTime calls with us to get to know us, which I loved. Being that these are the people who are going to attempt to capture the true feeling of your day, I wanted us to not only get along, but to feel comfortable being around each other. We winded up moving forward and scheduled our engagement session, I had a rough idea of what I wanted, but wanted it to really just showcase the feelings that we had for one another and for the location to be unique. Well, Stephanie and Bradley truly knocked it out of the park. I honestly had reservations at first, hearing from friends that they only liked one or two of their engagement session photos from other photographers so I was fully prepared to not be over the moon - but I absolutely loved them. We looked so comfortable, and effortless, even though we were so nervous about looking awkward behind camera. They even went above and beyond to climb through dry river beds, get fire ant bites, and thorns in their arms for the perfect shots!! We've received so many compliments on how beautiful the session was from friends and family, and they couldn't believe it was all shot in Texas and not Colorado, let alone maybe 10 minutes from the heart of Austin. So with all that we were eagerly awaiting how well our wedding would be portrayed. Stephanie and Bradley came a little early on day-of, fully COVID prepped with masks on, and were seamlessly working around us and we didn't even notice when we were getting photographed so thankfully not too many awkward nerves! Stephanie even came prepared with fashion tape to help myself and a few bridesmaids out with making sure there was no gaping in our dresses. Needless to say, we are so incredibly happy with how our photos turned out, how great of a job they did on the day of, and how close of friends we now consider them to be. The only thing I wish I would've planned for, was adding maybe one more hour with them to catch a few more shots with individual couples earlier in our timeline, but that's more of a bride tip anyway - to make sure and think about what shots you'd really want to have because you really just get so caught up in the day otherwise. Overall, so incredibly happy to have had the opportunity to work with the two of them, and am now struggling with which photos I'd like to have printed out for our home!!
