The Madious

Lionel and Kristiaan are truly DREAM COME TRUE photographers. They are so helpful through the planning process and on the day of. They are seasoned and professional, helping us through every step. On the day of, they were truly outstanding. In special quiet moments, they blended right in. We were able to share so many meaningful memories even with a photographer there the whole time. They also HUSTLED. They were willing to run around with us and sneak in a couple shots inside, outside, in the bridal suite, at any moment we had time away from our guests...they were there, capturing it. They captured amazing moments with all of family and friends. We really wanted candid shots, instead of posed, and they nailed it. They got images of tears, laughter, and pure joy that we would have completely missed. The photos they produce are simply incredible. We could not be happier. They have a whole mix of artistic photos, candid, romantic, and most importantly they managed to capture the feeling in the room every time. Every photo they took felt so authentic and bursting with love. We would get married again just to have them shoot it!

THE MADIOUS ARE THE BEST! I cannot emphasize enough how much we LOVE Kristiaan and Lionel. They are an amazing duo. My husband's sister used them for their wedding and we had our heart set on them once we got engaged. We shopped around at first just to see what was out there since our wedding date for them was unavailable. We were so disappointed. Then when we found out that Kristiaan and Lionel were available we felt like the stars had aligned and the search stopped right at that moment. Working with Kristiaan and Lionel was so delightful and easy. They blend in wonderfully with family and friends so much that they make everyone so comfortable to be around them! You can tell they are passionate about their work and making sure they deliver their very best. They are dedicated to ensuring you are relaxed throughout your entire wedding day (Lionel at one point even let me use his coat because I was cold!) - That's genuine character! They are so much fun to work with, have an amazing way of capturing every moment, and really take the time to get to know you not just as their clients. We truly believe they are the best photographers out there! Their talent is remarkable. You are missing out if you don't utilize them for your wedding. You can't go wrong! They embody everything photographers should be and more, so if you are able to book them do not hesitate because you will not be disappointed with their amazing work.

Eyewonder is now The Madious (but I couldn't find the page to review them!). My husband and I decided early on that our wedding photographer would be our splurge for the wedding. People forget the food, the cake, the flowers. Pictures last forever. Two older sisters of some of my best friends' hired them as their wedding photographers, so we checked them out. Kristiaan and Lionel are above and beyond the greatest wedding photographers you'll find anywhere. After our engagement shoot, they took us out for dinner and drinks just to get to know us better. They came to our venue walk through to get a better idea of where to do the first look and to gather other photography ideas. They helped us with our timeline for the day of the wedding. They made recommendations for other vendors as well! But beyond all of that, they are extremely skilled, fun, and professional photographers. They blend into the crowd so you won't notice them on your big day - you can focus on the wedding and the people you love! They capture all the little moments that will zip by you. They have a sixth sense for when things are going to happen, and they capture it on film in a way that allows you to relive all of the emotion you experienced on your wedding day. My advice is that if you value your wedding photographs, you should go with Lionel and Kristiaan. They are worth every penny.

Kristiaan and Lionel are absolutely wonderful. They take beautiful photos that capture the emotions of the moment perfectly. They also have an artistic touch to their work which sets them far apart from the run-of-the-mill photographers out there. They have such great personalities and work so well together. I am very self conscious and they were great at helping me to feel relaxed in front of the camera. I wish more occasions in life that called for photographers because they take such beautiful photos and are fun to work with.
