We highly recommend The Decisive Moment Wedding Photojournalism for all of your wedding day photography needs! After our engagement photo session with Jes, we instantly fell in love with her photography and how she beautifully captured our love story. Jes and Bugg went above and beyond on our wedding day! Not only were they a calming presence during the in-between moments, but they also beautifully captured our entire day, from the getting ready moments to the last dance. From the church to the reception venue, Jes and Bugg captured every moment that makes our faithful, loving, and joyful relationship unique, and we are so grateful for the memories! Also, Jenn and her team were very easy to communicate with and work with, and we appreciate their enthusiasm and passion for our love story!
I loved the Decisive moment photographer, Melissa Bugg! She was incredible at getting great shots. Our engagement photos were awesome and I can’t wait to see what she took from the wedding! Plus she’s just a joy to work with!
I couldn’t have been happier with Adam and the team from The Decisive Moment. They made me comfortable from the start when we first engaged over the phone. They noted that their goal was to try to capture our special moments in a way that really captures the emotion felt in the moment. This is what I noticed about their online portfolio that made me choose them as my wedding photographer, and that’s exactly what they did for our wedding and rehearsal dinner. They came through 100%! Our photos from the weekend were amazing. I felt like they really got to know us, and it showed- it helped them capture all of the important moments. Including a moment we wanted to capture with some city views before sunset, which they worked with the videographer to make possible. They worked so well with the videographer and all of the vendors on the day of the wedding which made the day go so smoothly... which is critical on your wedding day. And during the events, we barely noticed they were they were there! They were incredibly helpful (and patient!) with us while we were choosing the pictures for the album, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend these folks and I’m so glad I chose them to capture my special day ❤️
I can't say enough wonderful things about The Decisive Moment. I after seeing the gorgeous job Adam Linke did for my sister, I had no doubts in my mind about choosing them for my wedding day (October 2018). Not to mention, their photographs are absolutely stunning! Melissa Bugg was my photographer and I have such a special place in my heart for this woman! From our engagement shoot to the wedding day, her easy-going personality and happy demeanor truly set the scene for a beautiful experience. My husband is not the type who likes to be photographed, but he trusted Bugg and she was able to help him roll with some of the awkwardness of posing in front of the camera. She (and the rest of The Decisive Moment team) embraced my idea of including our dog Wilbur in both our engagement shoot and our wedding day which meant so much to us. I remember feeling nervous and jittery on my wedding day, but Bugg's calming presence made me feel so much better (it honestly felt like having a close friend photograph us).
Perhaps the most important part though, is that their photographs are STUNNING. I've recently been going back through my photos and literally every single one is beautiful - which makes selecting pictures for your album challenging! Our Album was included with our package, and that also came out so so perfect! My one and only complaint is that your full photo library (without the watermarks) / flash drive is not released until after you complete your album. That being said, it's a small price to pay and you won't find a better company to work with or more beautiful photos. I would absolutely recommend that if you are looking for a wedding photographer - look no further. I promise you The Decisive Moment will be the best wedding decision you make!
After seeing their photography, I knew I had to set up a meeting with The Decisive Moment as a potential wedding photographer for my special day. 10 minutes into our meeting with Jenn, I knew that The Decisive Moment was going to be our wedding photographer. Throughout the entire process, Adam, Jenn, and the rest of the team made every aspect so easy and seamless. Adam took the time to understand our vision and what moments we wanted captured. It was really important for us to have a photographer that didn't just do the standard or typical posed shots. We wanted to feel the emotion, love, and happiness from that day every time we looked at our album. The Decisive Moment accomplished that and so much more! HIGHLY recommend this amazing team!
Beautiful candid photos of our wedding!
The Decisive Moment did a wonderful job with my daughter's engagement photos and wedding. Melissa Bugg was a great photographer. One thing they did that was unique was that they have a "Premiere Party" in which the bride and groom can invite some of their friends for the first showing of the wedding pictures. I called a lot of places and no one else did this. A photo journal was also included in the price. Most importantly, the pictures were gorgeous! Money well spent! Highly recommend!!!
She was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! We had Jenn & Jessica photograph our wedding and I couldn't be happier w/the pictures. My husband was a little skeptical w/the pricing but now says it was well worth it. I would (and have!!) recommend them to everyone!!!
