Of all the vendors needed for a wedding, photography was at the top of my list. People will forget about the food and music. Pictures, on the other hand, stay with us. Yes, we knew we would look at them after they were edited and would hang a f...ew in our house, but we also thought about how we would look back through them each year on our anniversary and how one day we will show them to our kids and our grandkids. So, when it came to finding a photographer that I thought would be able to give us pictures we would be proud to look back on for a lifetime, I took my time. Truth be told, I spent Christmas vacation emailing around forty (yes, 40!) photographers in Greenville and surrounding areas. Terrell had one of the fastest response times, which I appreciated. I also spent time looking through Terrell’s gallery (and the galleries of other photographers) to see if he had shot at a venue like ours. Our venue was inside and had low-lighting. A lot of photographers’ galleries had pictures in similar lighting, but the pictures were not taken nor edited in a way that was flattering to the people. When looking through Terrell’s gallery, I saw countless pictures in a variety of venues, including ones with complicated lighting like ours. After seeing his incredible work, I shared our needs and budget with Terrell and he customized a package that worked for us. Leading up to our wedding, Terrell communicated clearly and was very responsive. Closer to the wedding, we decided to add an extra hour of photography and Terrell was very flexible in making it work. On the day of our wedding, Terrell arrived early and was completely prepared. He had a way of directing us in the pictures that put us at ease, yet also made for some amazing shots. Not only did he do great with us, but he was excellent with our son and other kids. Terrell was so much fun to be around, yet never intruded on our space while we were enjoying our wedding day. He, my husband, and the groomsmen all clicked on basketball, and he really became one of the guys. On top of all of this, he stayed up that night editing some pictures so we could have a preview and emailed them at 1am so we were able to enjoy them while heading off to our honeymoon. Most of my friends got their previews from their photographer about a week after the wedding, so this is just one more example of how passionate Terrell is and how hard he works to take care of his customers. Within a few short weeks, we had all (yes, ALL) of our pictures back. We got the cutest package in the mail, with several small prints and a USB with digital copies. Remember how I said that photography was at the top of my priority list? Terrell, exceeded my expectations farther than I can put into words. I literally cried looking through them all. We took pictures both inside and outside in several different areas, and they all turned out amazing. It’s clear to see that he knows what he’s doing and knows how to get the best shots. He not only captured pictures that made me feel beautiful, but he captured moments and emotions that are real and come through in the pictures. He also captured so many moments that we missed, but are now able to look back upon. All in all, Terrell is professional, responsive, friendly, organized, prepared, fun to be around, and extremely talented. You only get one chance to capture your wedding day. I’m so glad we chose Terrell and have beautiful pictures that we can look back on for a lifetime.
