Weddings by Adina

and others I don't know what I would've done. It was cold, and raining, and I was a lost bride. Adina stepped up and rocked out!!! She made sure I was taken care of and made sure I got the wedding I dreamed of regardless of the weather conditions and hiccups along the way. I couldn't have imagined my perfect day without her! I can't wait to see my pictures because I know they will be out of this world! I can not say enough good about this woman!! HIRE HER!!!

ther photographer Jared, shoot our wedding. She told us his wife will be his assistant photographer and we accepted the first alternate photographers. She made us sign a rescheduling addendum to our contract that stated that once payments are made, they are non-refundable. This was fine with us as long as the replacement photographers stayed the same and nothing in the contract was changed without our consent. Here's where the issue begins. Our wedding had to get rescheduled again to April 2022, due to Covid. Jared moved to Florida in December of 2021 and can no longer shoot our wedding with his wife. Adina does not tell us until February of 2022 (2 months away from wedding). She tells us she had to call her friend Garrett to now shoot our wedding and "it will only be him". So we are less than 2 months away and got handed off to another photographer who is shooting the wedding himself (we paid for 2 photographers). We were offered a $500 album credit. We thanked her for trying to fix the situation, but we ultimately declined and requested a refund on February 10. She called us and offered a second photographer. But at this point, we felt like we were getting passed off to any third-party photographer she could hire (we paid Adina's high prices, we would want her to shoot the wedding). We kept requesting a refund, but she insisted we meet the photographer online for a chat. We did not accept the new photographer but agreed to the meeting which was scheduled on March 6 (within 30 days from the wedding). We agreed to meet because we felt trapped and that we could not hire anyone else this close to the wedding date. Prior to this meeting (however, within 30 days of the wedding) we managed to find a photographer to shoot our wedding and told Adina that we no longer want to meet the new photographer. She sends us the first email in a string of emails saying: Adina: "I am confirming that we have 2 photographers ready to photograph your wedding on April 2, 2022, as agreed. Let me know if anything needs to change." Me: "I did not agree to anything. I did not agree to accept using Garrett as our photographer either. Nor did I accept your “$500 credit towards a wedding album.” Then, the next day she starts emailing my wife instead (who was currently admitted in the hospital): Adina: "Subsequent to our last conversation on February 10, 2022, we have two photographers retained to deliver your package. If you would like to cancel these services I need to know. Otherwise we plan to be there." Me: "There is nothing to cancel as nothing was agreed upon. We do not accept the replacement photographers. Because of the late notice we also had to secure another photographer for the wedding. " Adina: "I will consider this a cancellation of services within 30 days of the event date. And as such, you are not entitled to a refund as per the contract. I wish you the best of luck!" She is however right that we officially “cancelled” within the 30 days of the wedding. However, she would NOT accept our cancellation/refund request multiple times prior to that and kept extending the decision until we meet the photographer which was within the 30 days already. Only after within the 30 day window did she acknowledge it.

have the words to emphasize how amazing they were. I would recommend Adina and her team to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding.

r portfolio is gorgeous, and my friend's pictures will be cherished forever!

ng with and easy to talk to. We hope to book her again to document our next milestone :)

ow she had captured that I loved seeing pictures of. I gave her free reign to take whatever pictures she thought we should have. She really went above and beyond with her photography and not to mention she is just awesome and so sweet. We had our pictures so fast and I couldn’t love them more. She is so professional and fun. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for their special day to be captured.

oked her 5 months out to the wedding day. Our day was preserved in unforgettable and beautiful photos. She was well worth the money and we highly recommend Adina!

assessing what locations would be best for pictures, etc. ... and it wasn't easy because the wedding was at our home rather than a well-designed wedding venue ... but she made it all work and captured amazing views and details! I would HIGHLY recommend Adina ... she is so incredibly talented and personable!

hots, her composition, and editing, and provides a clean look without over-editing and removing the character from the shots. She is super creative with using the surroundings in her shots, and we got a ton of fun, serious, and amazing shots to look at forever. She is super attentive and detailed, and provides a ton of details for both the bride and groom - information that helped us plan and get ready to work with her, and made our day of breeze by easily. I cannot stress enough how great working with Adina has been!

sy to smile for pictures and have her around for your big day. I loved having her there and was able to trust that she knew what she was doing. Being able to relax and know she was taking care of all the great pictures was awesome! She has a great eye for unique picture moments and can get anyone to smile. She is a natural and very good at her job. I would definitely recommend her for your wedding pictures or any pictures you may need!

professional and easy to chat with. She's communicative and flexible. And she's great at directing you to get the best photos! Can't recommend her enough.

umstances, definitely making our job much easier. The resulting photos are beautiful, and we especially like the fact that we can download them at will (unlike many other photographers). We highly recommend Adina. You won't be disappointed!

remely collaborative throughout the planning process, helping us work through shot lists, visiting our location prior to the event to make sure she was familiar with it, etc. We did our engagement shoot a week before the wedding which was extremely helpful to warm us up for the Big Day (we did not need the images for our save the dates which is why we discussed waiting and Adina agreed it was a great idea). Adina and her team arrived for our wedding day early and excited to get going. They were professional, fun and got everyone comfortable and happy in front of the camera. The team took SO many pictures, and Adina did an incredible job making sure everything was captured. We didn’t have a traditional wedding party, only kids, and she and the team captured these cuties perfectly (including our fur baby!!) The day went by in a blink, and now we have so many amazing images to relive the best day of our lives (so far!) We will continue to work with Adina and her team for other events and family moments. HIGHLY recommend her company for your wedding, engagement or any professional photography needs.

took, and the access gallery she provides is user friendly and very organized! Adina was very responsive throughout the entire process and was available to answer any and all questions I had - including questions about the timeline, and even what make-up is best for pictures!! You will NOT regret booking Adina as your wedding and/or engagement photographer! :)

big our of life and we were impressed with how well she was able to wrangle big families and get great shots of everyone, including the dog! Outside of just the pictures, Adina is a delight to work with. She had great advice and shared wedding wisdom with us in the very early stages of our planning. She's a wedding pro and day of jumped in to help the men figure out how to put on boutineers, pose everyone for the best shot, and help keep everyone calm and happy :) If we were to go back and do the whole thing again, we'd definitely stick with Adina Preston as our photographer

. This is something that is very hard to find and what truly makes a photographer great. Our wedding photos were fantastic and I couldn't have been more pleased. We also received our edited bundle shortly after, which brought tears to my eyes after viewing. Adina-- thank you for being part of our special day and an even bigger thanks for capturing all the memories. We will cherish these photos forever. Katherine & Robin, Orcas Island, WA wedding.

ready recommended her to friends!

eattle with the right lighting for the time of day. We highly recommend Adina to anybody looking for a competent, stylish, and fun photographer.

ry easy to connect with, and I appreciate that she was crystal clear on what services she offers. Vlad and I never took many pictures together when we were dating, so I was little nervous about being able to get those beautiful and romantic shots. Adina made it super easy for us, giving us pointers and taking the time to make sure we were positioned just right. Most of all, just who she is as a person helped us feel relaxed and act like ourselves in front of the camera :) (And she DID pose and catch some crazy romantic moments!!!!) Her second shooter is also so fun and easy going! She has a Wedding Guide PDF that helped me get an idea of how to plan for pictures on the big day and actually for our entire wedding timeline. For any ladies out there that are freaking out because they've never planned a wedding before (I had only been a flower girl in a wedding and was one of the first of my girlfriends to get married) and decided to forego having a wedding planner, Adina's advice is SO helpful!!! Post-wedding, Adina has a great setup for sharing the digital collection with friends and family and letting us create our dream physical album. I would highly recommend Adina to aaaany couple. She is fun, easy to work with, and a joy to share one of the most important days of your life with :) Enjoy the moment, ladies and gentlemen! Adina will capture all those special memories for you :)

putting together the timeline for our wedding day. She always got back to me quickly and answered any questions I had. She was an absolute joy to work with and all of the pictures she took were beautiful. We are so grateful she was there to record our special day!

r that their vision was what she would capture. We all knew that she was the right person to capture the love story of E&T. She is a gem to work with and her ability to use her camera to tell a story is amazing. The pictures from that special day continue to make this Mom's heart sing with love and happiness.

band at ease. We received our photos back quickly and they were PERFECT! She was able to capture the soft romance we wanted to feel on our wedding day and it is easy to see the love that was present on that day in every photo. I cannot recommend Adina enough!
