"First off...Photography for our wedding was very important for me. You can never go back and have pictures re-done!! I researched SO many companies and as soon as I met with Kate I knew they would be perfect for us.

For the engagement session she recommended places near my parents house, and we ended up choosing an awesome apple orchard. The pictures turned out to be amazing! She always kept me on task (as a crazy busy bride this was a MUST for me) and I appreciated all of her suggestions and emails.

Both Rudo and Kate were fun to hang out with and I really enjoyed having them around on the day of the wedding. Everyone that has seen our wedding photos are just speechless. They captured candid moments and you can tell by looking at the photos what people were doing or laughing at.

I could not have asked for better pictures both engagement and wedding!!

We would recommend them to ANYONE who feels that photography is super important either for a wedding, engagement shoot, or any other life changing events!

We are so happy :)"

After their fun and easy way during the engagement shoot, I knew Lisanne and Adam would be a wonderful couple on their wedding day. They are both laid back, funny, and very kind... Then we met their family and friends, and knew instantly it would also be a kick-ass party! Highlights included Uncle Joe - an Elvis impersonator - absolutely charming (and touching) speeches, and lots and lots of dancing, at the Manor by Peter and Paul's. It was a perfect July day, that led into a romantic evening of celebration and togetherness for family, friends, and an amazing couple. Congratulations Lisanne & Adam. May your happiness grow for a lifetime. Read Lisanne's wedding photography review here.
