THANK YOU SO MUCH for getting the photos to me- I spent literally 6 hours on Saturday looking through them and set them up as my TV screensaver. The photos are so amazing- I have SOOO many favorites, it will be SO hard for me to pick which prints to order for my house! Also it was perfect timing with black friday and cyber monday! I'm going to order some gifts- magnets, prints, ornaments- so THANK YOU! I really can't thank you enough Taber. Everything was captured beautifully, all the friends and family love the pictures. I couldn't be happier!

We cannot thank you enough for the photos that were captured. Though it was crazy and I had almost no timeline for the day, every picture showed so much love and laughter that Tim and I both could not stop laughing and smiling over all of them. Every photo has a moment that he and I remember and that is all we could ask for. You captured so much and I didn’t even know you took my dress to the garden for pics while I was getting ready! These pics are amazing!!! I can’t wait to get these printed on canvas!!
