My husband and I worked with Chad and Tressie at Two Pair Photography for our wedding at The Joule in Dallas, TX in October of 2019. We chatted with a lot of photographers and while some were great, no one was really getting us excited. Chad an...d Tressie weren’t based in Dallas where we live, so we sat down for our video meeting with them feeling a bit deflated after our experiences with other photographers. However, once we started chatting, we knew we had found our photographers.
Chad and Tressie are an amazing husband and wife couple who are passionate about photography and celebrating love. When you work with Two Pair Photography, you don’t get just one amazing photographer...but two! This really sets them apart. Most photographers will bring a second shooter if you ask, but we learned it isn’t necessarily someone they always work with. Sure, they may know their second shooter, and you could have a great experience! However, we picked Chad and Tressie because we connected with them. We loved their style, they way they captured special moments when no one was looking, and the way their photos radiated the love everyone felt at the wedding. A random second shooter just wouldn’t do for us!
From the moment we started communicating with them, Chad and Tressie were professional, responsive, attentive, organized, and extremely friendly. They worked with us for planning spots for the engagement shoot and day of the wedding photos. When it was time to take our day-of wedding photos, we realized we weren’t going to have time to venture to our pre-chosen location in Dallas. This could have been the making for some pretty average photos, but not with Chad and Tressie. They quickly saved the day and took photos in and around our wedding venue that I would honestly say look better than anything we could have taken at our original locations. They are quick on their feet, adaptable to change, and even if it is on the fly in a location they didn’t plan for, can capture amazing images. These are the signs of true professionals.
Also for any LGBT+ Dallas couples looking for a photographer, Chad and Tressie are more than just photographers that “do gay weddings”. There is a big difference between someone who “does gay weddings” and someone who supports and celebrate your love like Chad and Tressie will. This is important to mention because we struggled finding vendors/reviews who explicitly stated this during our planning process. We always felt totally comfortable being ourselves around these two because they celebrate love and capture it for a living regardless of who it is you love.
No matter where you live, Two Pair Photography will do an amazing job. A final note- when you hire Chad and Tressie, they will take every photo you ask for. But...we would also suggest that you let them take control a bit. Let them take photos when you aren’t looking and aren’t posing. We can guaranteed you these will be the photos that you will truly cherish and show you just how incredible they are at what they do.
