"WARNING: Long read but well worth it!
"Pirate" quickly becomes family and no longer JUST a photographer. She takes the time to get to know each couple/person and their likes. She tailors the shoot around what the CUSTOMER actually likes. She's very down to earth and easy to get along with.
We met her at my niece's wedding and quickly connected. When my wife and I became engaged, I remembered her and reached out for engagement photos and wedding photos. She was able to work with our timeline and location choices. She had some great ideas for shots but listened to what we suggested as well and took all the pics. We got a website to be able to view all of our photos, engagement and wedding. She also brought us a gift to help with the photos. Customer service should be her middle name! Pirate and her partner shot pics for several hours on our wedding day. Over 1000 pics were taken and we don't regret doing any/all poses that were asked of us. The final presentation I will leave as a surprise but the pics she sends after it's all said and done is a work of art!"
