Beautiful Photos to Remember Our Day

We were very happy with our experience working with Kurtz as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met, Kurtz made us feel comfortable and at ease, and that same warmth carried through the entire wedding day. He captured every moment so beautifully including multiple location and a tight, dark venue. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day all over again.

We also loved his second shooter Angelik who was very kind and helpful with the details including all the dress fluffing!

If you’re looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture your day perfectly, we couldn’t recommend Kurtz more highly. These photos are treasures we’ll cherish for a lifetime!

Highly recommend

Kurtz portfolio and Instagram account really show his amazing skills in creating such beautiful photos. There was no doubt that his photos will turn out amazing. Kurtz photographed my engagement shoots and we absolutely love all the pictures. Kurtz also just sent us a sneak peak to our wedding, and oh boy I cannot stop looking at all the photos. They are beautiful. I can't wait to see the rest of the photos. Kurtz was also such a pleasure to work with. He is friendly, not pushy, and very calm. We highly recommend Kurtz.

Highly recommend Kurtz!

Kurtz was our photographer for our wedding and we could not have been happier with our experience and how our photos turned out. Through the whole process, Kurtz was very professional and responsive to all our questions. Close to our date, when a problem arose at one of our photo spots, Kurtz was very flexible and made sure we were able to get all the photos we wanted for our special day.

Kurtz's friendly and relaxed demeanor made us feel very comfortable. He told us exactly how to pose and where to stand, you can tell he knew what he was doing. Our photos turned out better than we could ever imagine! I would recommend Kurtz to everyone. Thank you again.

I would highly recommend Kurtz!

We were so excited to have Kurtz as our photographer! We had seen his work from a friends wedding and knew that we had to have him.

Kurtz lived up to and went beyond all our expectations. We booked an engagement session with him first that allowed us to feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Kurtz was their at the site early on that day to scout out photo locations and ready to take us there once we arrived. Not only did his pictures capture us quite perfectly, but there is a continual elegance of style you will see throughout his work.

On our wedding day we had outlined what we would like and everything ran so smoothly. Kurtz is organized, punctual, so easy and friendly to work with. The photographs from that day were stunning, beyond what I could’ve imagined. Kurtz documented the day perfectly and we are so grateful for that!

Kurtz has been professional all the way through this process, from the engagement session to wedding day, and after with the final photos. We have had so many compliments on our photographs! I would highly recommend Kurtz. We consider him our friend now and look forward to getting to work with him again.

Amazing work!

We just had our wedding and absolutely loved working with Kurtz. We are so happy that we chose him as our wedding photographer! We couldn't be happier with our engagement photos and wedding photos thus far!

Kurtz was amazing from start to finish, he is very professional and was super responsive to our emails and phone calls. One thing we really loved about working with Kurtz is that he is so friendly, easy going, and kind. He really made us feel at ease during our wedding day and also during our engagement session, we had so much fun! He also provided us with so many helpful tips that made the day go smoothly. Kurtz works in a very timely manner, and even provided us with "sneaks" the next day. We received a ton of compliment from our guests, saying that both him and his second shooter, Jesse were so professional and they weren't in the way at all.

Kurtz thank you so much for all your hard work, we look forward to working with you again the future.

Kurtz's work speaks for itself. His keen eye for detail and ability to play with light make him the perfect photographer for an outdoor wedding.

We first found Kurtz through Vineyard bride. We were immediately impressed by his portfolio. There is something very delicate and elegant about his work that draws you in.

As a vendor, Kurtz is very professional. He takes the time to get to know you as a couple and makes a conscious effort to ensure you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Thank you so much Kurtz! Looking forward to having you shoot many more milestones to come!

Kurtz is a wonderful photographer. We are very happy with our engagement photos and our wedding photos. He really captured the many lovely moments throughout the day and also created some beautiful portraits of my husband and I. He was easy to work with and very kind. He also had a great turn around time, we received our photos in 3 weeks. Thank you Kurtz for everything!

My fiance and I had our engagement shoot with Kurtz in October 2014. The pictures were stunning! We've received so many compliments from friends and family about the quality and beauty of the shots. Kurtz is super friendly and accommodating, and he made our 2 daughters feel extra special during the shoot. I'd have no hesitation recommending him to others, and am excited to have him at our wedding!
