Our experience with Dylan and Tiana was absolutely incredible! . From constant communication throughout the planning stages to post-wedding, their creative genius and ability to make literal magic, to their thoughtfulness and professionalism – there are not enough wonderful things I could say about these two.
Our first time meeting in person was at the wedding itself, and I was so extremely nervous, but they made me feel calm, didn’t rush me, knew exactly where to direct myself and everyone else, and made the pre-ceremony moments feel light and fun. At this point I knew I was in the best, most capable hands.
Throughout the reception Dylan and Tiana were both so excited about all of the shots they were getting and added such a special element to our evening. They entire night they were like flies on a wall just letting things happen, not putting pressure on anyone to “be” a certain way, and they kept to our timeline so seamlessly. Even our wedding guests had commented on multiple occasions how impressed they were by Dylan and Tiana’s professionalism and demeanor.
We ended up doing our actual bridal shoot the following day at another outdoors location where they spent at least 2 hours with us making sure they got various shots and scenes. But my favorite part is how they included my 6 year old daughter. They knew how important her presence was and they both spent individual time with her getting photos and videos.
3 weeks post wedding Tiana completely took me by surprise when she let me know that the full gallery was ready. When I looked through all of our pictures I was astounded by not only how beautiful each shot was, but also at how curated our gallery was. She put so much time and effort into making sure that the essence of the day could be felt by looking at the photos. Tiana gave me the best of both worlds when it came to posed and candid shots. She also made sure that all those little details that I had spent hours agonizing over all mattered and had a purpose. To have had a photographer who understood my vision and captured so many moments that evoke feelings of joy, happiness, gratitude, and magic when I look back at our pictures is the most wonderful gift.
I had also requested a last minute 60 second trailer from Dylan because I could not wait to just get a glimpse of the material he had captured. And in 3 weeks (just like the photos) he had put together the most impactful, emotional and beautiful video and affectionately titled it “Lucy’s Film” (my daughter). Dylan had let me know before I watched it that he took some creative license in choosing a song that he thought fit perfectly, and he couldn’t have been more right. He knew what the video required and it was beyond what I could have imagined. Fast forward to under 3 months after our wedding we received the full video. And again, my Husband and I were in tears watching. From the buildup of the day, to those impactful moments of hearing my mother-in-law recite our wedding poem, to being totally surprised at how Dylan had taken some of my Husband’s Marine Corps photos and integrated them. The cuts and transitions from each moment to the next and the layering of our vows over each special moment from our wedding and bridal shoot were executed perfectly.
Again, their thoughtfulness, attention to detail, ability to capture such candid moments and make magic, and communication made our experience so amazing. Whenever my husband and I talk about our photos and video we can’t help but say that their expertise was worth every single penny and then some.
To all the brides planning, I urge you to hire this dream team.
Dylan and Tiana, Thank you both for EVERYTHING.
Love, Lindsey and Aaron and Lucy
