Allie and Courtney helped us feel relaxed and were there for the key moments of our wedding. They encouraged us to communicate any specific photos we wanted in addition to their professional shots. Allie was really great in recognizing when I (the bride) was getting overwhelmed and shifting the focus of the parties involved to ensure my experience was perfect.

Velvet and Vows made this such a great experience. From our engagement shoot to the wedding, Augie was very communicative, made the experience fun and easy. Plus he was able to give us pictures we love. I only have the sneak peeks of the wedding for now but I love them already and I know I’ll love the final product. Our photographer was the sweetest and really made sure she got all the shots we wanted. All in all we are very happy with our experience and highly recommend them!
