We especially appreciative of the creative shots you were able to capture within live shots-- the lines, colors and images from the churches and venues are incredible.

It has been 3 years since our wedding day and your photos and video have only enhanced our memories of it all, in the best way possible. You found a way to capture the joy and love that day held and saved it for us to relive any time we want.
