It's worth investing in a photographer, like Brad, on whom you can depend to capture all of the moments you want to remember for a lifetime. It's true that after the big day ends, all you're left with is the photos. Throughout the rest of the day, other than the obligatory posed photos, Brad is quietly doing his job, capturing both the ordinary and extraordinary moments with professionalism and skill beyond compare. He will take advantage of the light, and weather to make sure you capture the most beautiful and romantic photos possible on your special day. I remember telling Brad early on that James and I weren't the kind of couple that would be into cutesy poses, but after the post-ceremony oxytocin kicks in, and Brad gives the direction for a gentle kiss on the forehead, you're all about it, and it feels perfectly natural. When I got engaged, I knew that there was no one else that I would rather have photograph our wedding. Having briefly worked with Brad with Yelp, I knew he was not only an excellent photographer, but a really cool guy. There are good photographers, great photographers, and then there's Brad Smith, the greatest.

Brad was equal parts present/funny/calming, while also knowing when to give us space so we could soak in the day just the two of us. If you want two people that will make family photo’s a breeze, capture more moments instead of poses, work in all of your requests, take phenomenal pictures, and act as a flash seamstress when needed, look no further! You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day so it was important to us that our photographer took great photos and was also nice to be around.

After our wedding, Brad sent us a few teaser photos over the next couple of days and returned all of our photos (during busy season) beautifully finished and way faster than we expected. This is just one example of how attentive they both were, and how easy they were to talk to and work with. Enter Sara: Before we knew it she sprung into action and began sowing the back of the dress back into place leaving plenty of time to get all the shots we wanted.
IMAGE SMITH PHOTOGRAPHY HOW TO
Surprisingly calm, my wife and I looked for the clasp, and tried to figure out how to fix this quickly for more photos. As my wife and I tested a lift we wanted to bust out during our first dance, the clasp on my wife’s wedding dress popped right off into the grass.

They came through particularly well during some shots we took following the first look. They even helped us to develop our timeline for the wedding. They were extremely accommodating, and offered great suggestions that we used on the day of to make our pictures exactly what we expected. We talked about all of the must do shots, and some extra’s that we wanted just for us. We met them a few weeks out to talk specifics and immediately felt validated in our decision. Needless to say, we were a little nervous about it, but Brad made a great impression over the phone! From the start, we really appreciated Brad and Sara’s relaxed and confident approach to the process.

Full transparency, this is the only vendor we booked without even having a face to face meeting. My wife and I hired Brad and his partner, Sara, for the day of our wedding.
